Chapter 180 History of Kiev and Encounter with Golovkin

Wang Hao and the Chinese training team have finished their one-month training in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and are ready to go to Almaty, capital of Kazakhstan, to participate in the Asian trials of this year's World Youth Boxing Championships.

On the day before departure, Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko brothers were the hosts. They invited Wang Hao to spend a day in Kiev and visited some of Kiev's famous attractions.

Geographically, Kiev belongs to an Eastern European city. It is located in the middle reaches of the Dnieper River. It is the oldest city established by the Slavs and has a history of fifteen centuries.

The early Ukraine centered on Kiev, called Kievan Rus, was once a European power in the Middle Ages, and its influence was far greater than that of another Slavic country, the Principality of Moscow.

However, due to the invasion and massacre of the Mongols in the 13th century, the Kievan Rus civilization was destroyed, which led to the rise of the Principality of Moscow as the strongest Slavic civilization.

Although the Kievan Rus civilization is no longer glorious, it still has a lot of civilization marks left in Kiev. In terms of the medieval and previous civilization heritage, Kiev is much stronger than Moscow.

In the morning, Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko brothers first brought Wang Hao to Kinmen.

Atoli Lomachenko introduced to Wang Hao: "The Golden Gate was built in the 11th century and used to be the main gate of the medieval city of Kiev. The gate is 12 meters high and 6.4 meters wide."

Today, Wang Hao was in a very good mood when he was able to visit Kiev accompanied by the brothers Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko. He listened to Atoli Lomachenko's explanation and stood at the foot of the Golden Gate and looked up.

The architectural style of the Kievan Rus Gate is completely different from the architectural style of ancient Chinese gates. Although it is tall and towering, it is still much shorter than the walls of ancient Chinese cities, and it uses a lot of gilded copper. Foil is used for decoration, which is the reason why Jinmen got its name.

The door leaf and the dome above the gate are decorated with gilded copper foil.

The current Golden Gate has been renovated and turned into a museum, open to visitors. Brothers Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko took Wang Hao into the Golden Gate Museum and visited many ancient Kyiv cultural relics.

Immediately afterwards, brothers Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko brought Wang Hao to the Piechersky Monastery. The Piechersky Monastery was also built in the eleventh century. It was protected from war due to religious reasons. It was Kiev. The most famous monument, anyone who visits Kiev will first come to the Piechersky Monastery.

Pechersky Monastery includes the Church of the Nativity, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, the Cave Church and the Bell Tower.

Before the Mongols came here, it was the religious and cultural center of Eastern Europe. The bell tower in the monastery is 96.5 meters high, the highest in Europe.

Wang Hao stood under the bell tower and looked up. It was nearly 30 meters in diameter. It has four floors and is also a golden dome, with a huge cross on top.

The museum in the monastery displays cultural relics from Egypt, Cyprus and the Holy Land Jerusalem, as well as historical paintings, as well as paintings and sculptures by modern masters such as Picasso and Dali.

Wang Hao is also enjoying these artworks with great interest.

"This was also the place where the Russian tsars imprisoned political prisoners in the 18th century." Atoli Lomachenko continued to introduce Wang Hao. "In the first half of the 13th century, when the Mongols invaded, this was also a refuge for the citizens of Kiev. "

"The Western Expedition of Mongolian Battalion in the 13th century brought huge trauma to the civilization of Ukraine, which almost destroyed the once glorious civilization of Kievan Rus, and the people suffered a lot of massacres." Speaking of these history, Atoli Lomachenko is also sad.

Wang Hao was also quite touched when he heard Atoli Lomachenko's account.

Indeed, in the 13th century, Genghis Khan and his so-called Golden Family launched a war of conquest against the entire Eurasian continent. It can be said that they were the nightmare of all civilizations on the Eurasian continent at that time. The blood of the people of Eurasia.

Not only the Kiev civilization, but also the rich Song Dynasty of China, after decades of fighting Mongolia, although a mobile defense master like Meng Gong defeated the crazy invasion of the early Mongolia and killed Meng Ge, but Meng Gong died three times. For ten years, China was still killed by Kublai Mongol and traitors.

After thousands of years of evolution, the Chinese civilization was built in the Zhao and Song dynasties. Due to bad coins weeding out good coins, a stop was temporarily painted on Yashan.

As a modern person, Wang Hao understands that if a country that has existed for decades is turbulent, the people will suffer great misfortune.

Like the Song Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Song dynasties lasted for more than three hundred years. When she is shattered, the pain will be great for the people, I can hardly imagine.

And a small civilization like Kievan Rus once glorious, after being destroyed, it can no longer be revitalized.

Wang Hao vaguely remembered that in the second decade of the 21st century, Ukraine had also proposed compensation to Mongolia for the damage caused by the Battalion's Western Expedition in the 13th century. Obviously, these historical pains are also deeply imprinted. In the hearts of Ukrainian people like Atoli Lomachenko.

There is also a library in the monastery, which was built in the early twelfth century and is known for its rich collection.

After visiting the Golden Gate and the Piechersky Monastery in the morning, the three Atoli Lomachenko also took Wang Hao to visit the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev in the afternoon.

The Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kiev was also built in the 11th century. It is the religious, political and cultural center of Kievan Rus. The Grand Duke of Kiev met foreign envoys and signed treaties here. The first library of Slavs was also established here.

Wang Hao, accompanied by the brothers Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko, spent a day in Kiev and was very happy.

On the second day, Wang Hao and most of the members of the training team flew to the capital of Kazakhstan to participate in the Asian Regional Trials for the World Youth Boxing Championships held there. Atoli Lomachenko and Klitschko brothers also graciously arrived. See Wang Hao off at the airport.

After the Asian Trials of the World Youth Boxing Championships, in the second half of the year, Wang Hao will also come to Kiev to participate in the final competition of the World Youth Boxing Championships held here.

After several hours of flying, Wang Hao and the other Chinese team members who will participate in the Asian regional trials together came to Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan.

Almaty is the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the Soviet Union. It is located in the southeast of Kazakhstan. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a unique scenery with a population of over one million. It is also the largest city in Kazakhstan.

Wang Hao, who got off the plane, came to a new city again. The scenery here is completely different from that of Kiev on the Eastern European plains. Wang Hao feels very happy. In addition, this is Wang Hao's favorite world professional boxing in his previous life. Wang Hao's mood was even more surging in the hometown of weight overlord Golovkin.

Golovkin at this time should be just ten years old!

Wang Hao thought, because Golovkin was a Kazakh half-blood born in the early 1980s, and he was about ten years old at this time, and Golovkin was in the world middleweight professional boxing world. The time to kill the gods is the second decade of the 21st century. During that period of six or seven years, Golovkin KOed all his challengers and defended the middleweight gold belt twenty times. The result is the same as that of another middleweight legend "Hangman" Hopkins.

Hopkins, the "executioner" who once knocked down Trinidad and Dela Hoya, also defended the middleweight gold belt twenty times.

You know, Trinidad and De La Hoya are both middleweight kings, and they may have lost the game before meeting Hopkins, but they have never been knocked down and won, but Hopkins Achieved, so it will have the nickname of "executioner".

In terms of the time when he ruled the middleweight, Golovkin and Hopkins were the same. Those years were also the years when Golovkin occupied the king of boxing P4P.

However, the difference is that Golovkin's 20 defending games are almost always won by KO opponents.

At that time, Cotto and Avarez, who were also world boxing stars, were walking around Golovkin and were afraid to fight Golovkin.

Thinking about coming to Golovkin's hometown, Wang Hao was a little excited. Wang Hao knew that Golovkin, who was in elementary school, was often taken to the streets by his brothers to fight with adults. Perhaps this is the reason why Golovkin grew up vigorously. one.

Golovkin's father is a Kazakh, his mother is a North Korean, and he has four brothers, including two older brothers and one younger brother.

Golovkin is also the national hero and national pride of Kazakhstan.

Will you meet Golovkina on the streets of Almaty?

Wang Hao thought, although Wang Hao would be very happy to see the young Golovkin in Almaty, but Wang Hao knew that the probability was relatively low.

Wang Hao and more than a dozen boxers who participated in the Asian trials, under the leadership of Sun Zeyong, boarded the CMB going to the hotel to stay.

Wang Hao found a position near the window with a good view. He kept looking out the window, hoping to find something.

Almaty has a population of more than one million. It is on the scale of a second- and third-tier city in China. There are not many tall buildings. Wang Hao carefully watched the pedestrians on the side of the road where the China Bus was driving.

Suddenly, when he passed a stone bridge, Wang Hao's eyes lit up.

"Driver! Stop!" Wang Hao shouted, "I have an urgent matter to go down!"

Hearing Wang Hao's call, Sun Zeyong hurriedly asked the driver to pull over and stop.

Sun Zeyong thought that Wang Hao was anxious, and he knew it was not until he asked.

Wang Hao smiled and said: "I have something to do, I have to get off first, I will go to the hotel later!"

Looking at Wang Hao's serious and urgent look, Sun Zeyong didn't ask much, so he let Wang Hao get out of the car, but told to pay attention to safety, and asked a local guide who was in the car to accompany Wang Hao, and left Wang Hao with the address of the hotel.

Wang Hao got out of the car and hurriedly walked across the stone bridge with the local guide. There, Wang Hao had already seen a face that was still young but very familiar.

A child about ten years old, surrounded by five, six, eighteen and nine-year-olds, is punching a young man who is also eighteen or nineteen years old.

This child is not tall, even a little thin, with long hair like a watermelon head. Although it looks immature on the surface, he punches very fiercely.

Wang Hao's last life saw pictures of Golovkin when he was a child on the Internet. Now when he sees this boy, Wang Hao is very clear that the boy who is punching in front of him is Golovkin.

This age of Golovkin has shown good boxing skills and confrontation ability.

He and the 18-year-old boy on the opposite side did not lose the wind. Golovkin can bear the strength of the 18-year-old boy, and although he is only ten years old, his fist is also very powerful when he hits the opponent. The youth on the opposite side did not dare to resist casually.

Among the young people around, there are two older people, shouting: "Golovkin beat him, pay attention to move!"

Wang Hao looked at the two young men. Their appearance was somewhat similar to Golovkin's. Obviously they should be Golovkin's older brothers Sergey and Vadim.

Wang Hao learned some information from his last life. Sergey and Vadim love boxing. Golovkin has been taught boxing by them since he went to kindergarten. They often go to the streets to pick adults for Goro who is in elementary and middle school. Fukin sparred.

Wang Hao looked at the real scene in front of him, knowing that the information of the previous legend was true.

Golovkin, as the **** of war, the king of professional boxing in the world of P4P, is talented and must have a lot of advantages. He can fight with adults at the age of ten. It is unimaginable to change to other ten-year-olds, but Goro Fukin can indeed do it.

The fight between the two people lasted for three minutes, and then they separated. The match was undifferentiated and matched.

The surrounding youths watched the end of the match with calm expressions. Obviously, they have become accustomed to this abnormal performance of Golovkin.

Among them was the oldest young man. He picked up ten rubles from an iron bowl on the ground and handed them to Golovkin. He said: "This game is considered to be Golovkin's win, and ten rubles go to Golovkin. NS!"

Wang Hao nodded. It turned out that this game was also a prize.

Immediately after, two young men came out to fight each other. One of them took out five rubles and put them in the iron bowl. Obviously, whoever wins will take away the rubles in the iron bowl.

Wang Hao walked to Golovkin.

Golovkin was very polite and showed the gentleman's demeanor he had when he was a child. When he saw an East Asian boy approaching him, Golovkin greeted Wang Hao and said, "Hello!"

"Hello! Golovkin!" Wang Hao also said under the translation of the Kazakhstan guide, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to hold Golovkin together.

Rebirth once, and met the young God of War Golovkin. Wang Hao and Golovkin shook hands. They also had different feelings in their hearts.

The two chatted again, and Golovkin's two older brothers, Sergey and Vadim, were also very interested in Wang Hao, an East Asian boy, because their mother was an East Asian. See Golovkin and Wang Hao for a chat When they got up, the two also chatted with Wang Hao.

At this time, the two youths who were fighting just now have finished playing. One of the young men in black won the game and took away ten rubles.

A young man in a yellow T-shirt in the crowd saw Wang Hao and became interested and shouted: "That East Asian boy, are you interested in a fight with me!"
