On this day 42 years ago, on September 22, 1983 (August 16, 1983 lunar calendar), Zhu Jianhua broke the world record in the men's high jump with a time of 2.38 meters. Zhu Jianhua broke the world record in the men's high jump with a time of 2.38 meters at the 5th National Games. On the afternoon of September 22, 1983, thousands of people crowded the stands of Hongkou Stadium, and people's attention was focused on the northwest corner of the venue. The men's high jump final will be held here. As soon as Zhu Jianhua, wearing a red sweatshirt, appeared on the track and field, the spectators in the surrounding stands cheered, which was a tribute to Zhu Jianhua and a new and greater expectation for him. The clock pointed to 5:15, and the bar rose to a new world record height of 2.38 meters. Hongkou Stadium was full of spectators, and 30,000 eyes were anxiously watching the crossbar. Such a crowded track and field competition is really rare in China. The reason for this grand occasion is that Zhu Jianhua, a world-renowned high jumper, appeared. It is not too much to say that Zhu Jianhua took off from 2.10 meters today, and jumped 2.18 meters, 2.22 meters, and 2.26 meters. When the crossbar rose to 2.30 meters, his opponents had lost the opportunity to compete with him, but he passed the bar again. Then, he succeeded in the second test jump of 2.34 meters, which led the audience's emotions to a climax. Zhu Jianhua began to break the new world record. During the first test jump, his leg knocked the crossbar off. The unsuccessful impact did not affect Zhu Jianhua's mood. He put on his clothes, sat on the field for a short nap, stood up to wipe his sweat, put on the white green-edged vest he had been wearing in the game, and walked to the outer end of the crimson plastic track. At this moment, the audience was silent, and people were nervously waiting for the exciting moment to come. Zhu Jianhua reached out to the referee for a second try. Then he swung his right arm and gave a hard downward stroke. This is his habitual movement to help him master the essentials of the moment of the pole. He began to run. First a few small steps, then a lightning-fast arc run, then a powerful jump, over the pole, tummy, leg lift, and drop. The bar shook slightly, and it was "nailed" to the high jump. Before Zhu Jianhua stood up from the sponge bag, the audience was boiling. The audience cheered and jumped to their hearts' content, the cheerleaders of the civilized audience waved bunting flags to him, and the electric scoreboard played a sign saying "Congratulations to Zhu Jianhua for setting a world record in high jump". Zhu Jianhua took the flowers that had been prepared for him and walked around the venue to thank the audience. Hu Hongfei, a coach in his late sixties, also excitedly came to the stadium from the stands and hugged him tightly. Zhu Jianhua then presented the flowers to the cultivator of the world champion. Then Zhu Jianhua's father couldn't hold back his excitement and hugged his son tightly. It was the afternoon of September 22nd, only three months and 11 days after he broke the world record last time, a rarity in the history of the world's men's high jump. His exciting jump was a powerful answer to all his challengers, an excellent answer to the eager expectations of the people of the whole country, and the most satisfactory answer to the 30,000 enthusiastic spectators at Hongkou Stadium.
