While waiting for the person to appear, Chen Yu chatted a bit more with Tan Yi.
When Song Jun was mentioned, Tan Yi's face was full of regret.
"He was such a promising kid. What a shame," Tan Yi sighed.
Song Jun was born in '89. His father was a coal miner who died in an accident at the mine when he was three.
His mother raised him on her own.
Ever since he was little, Song Jun was unusually tall for his age.
"The first time I saw him was back in '99. He was only ten years old, but he was already built like a grown-up, nearly five-foot-three."
"Our sports school regularly scouts for promising kids from all the schools in the city. He was recommended by Teacher Li from the No. 2 Elementary School. At the time, we were planning to train him for track and field. The kid could run and jump, could go for miles without breaking a sweat."
