11.At that time，only Gongbu was lying quietly in bed of the ward，sleeping in a trance.Unconsciously he recalled the days when Pierre acted as the coach of the team，and reflected on the contradiction between him and Pierre，feeling deep guilty of what he had done.He yelled from his deep mind，"I shouldn't be that.Oh，no，it's my fault." The unconscious yelling caused him to come back from the faint.
12.Meanwhile，Gongbu heard the quarrel beween Haichu and Pierre.Thus he opened the door of the ward and said in a masculine tone，"Haichu，don't be in the way！He is right.It's my fault but he still comes to see me.Let him come to me." On hearing this，Haichu's pink face became grey pale and she uttered，"Darn it！！" and then turned to leave with words，"Be a man！"
13.Pierre held Gongbu's hands and went into the ward side by side.He flung the bundle of beers onto the tea table and signed to his athlete，"Please！" The two men exchanged a few words and whispered.Then they spoke up，"Ami！—— Chogbo！..." Following the words，the two tough guys embraced each other tightly.
14.Locked inside，the door of the ward was reopened after a long，long time.With the door reopened，people found that Gongbu was blind drunk，saying，"Chogbo，chogbo！" Pierre carried him toward the athlete dormitory but barely a few steps later，Gongbu dropped onto the ground.
15.After a long time，Gongbu lying in bed came to be conscious.He recalled that he seemed to be carried on Pierre's back to the men dormitory of the cycling team.At the thought of this，Gongbu，the yak-like tough man's eyes were filled with tears.

16.As the old Chinese saying goes，"No discord，no concord."Through the heart-to-heart talk，Gongbu understood Pierre's well-meaning efforts and Pierre also understood Gongbu's real honest opinion.From then on，the two men had no confrontation and misunderstanding.They became bosom friends.
17.More interestingly，after the quarrel between Haichu and Pierre，Haichu began to know about Pierre.She got to know that Pierre was not the dissolute French guy who simply know to drive around for joy-riding，have red wine and steak，always curse people and yell，"quick，quick，" but a able，thoughtful and resourceful modern youth of wisdom.Even she thought Pierre was much more brilliant than Kama and Gongbu and she aroused the favor of the French young coach.Later on，people of the training base frequently saw Haichu stay with Pierre to do morning exercises，ride in a car and exchange ideas.
18.Kama witnessed that Gongbu collapsed and sent to the medical center once again because of Pierre's severe body punishment and that Pierre drank Gongbu down and carried him back，leaving him to sleep with a trance in the dormitory.As the best friend of Gongbu，Kama couldn't bear it any more.In a hurry，he came to general coach's office.When he saw Pierre，directly he declared his intercession just for Gongbu.Pierre was a little intoxicated and said to Kama with a smile，"Intercession？A short while ago，I drank him down and I sent him back from the medical center.Now he was fine and was released from there.We are even！It's ok.Nothing wrong！..."
19.At the time，Kama shook his head and said，"I don't want to talk about this.I just want to explain the cause of the unpleasant event that occurred in the first physical training.Do you remember the first our physical training in which you had contradiction with Gongbu？Now I want to talked more about him with you and wish you to understand him."
20.Amazingly puzzled，Pierre asked，"The first physical training？Oh——yes，I got it.In the physical training，Gongbu's improper action is unrespectable for you while you come to intercede for him.It's really hard to understand it." Listening to Pierre，Kama became solemn and spoke softly to Pierre，"You don't understand，don't you？Let me tell you the fact，but to say it clear，it's a long story." Pierre was astounded and said，"How long is it？" Kama replied，"It is so long，indeed.I can't make it clear with a few words.Now let me tell it briefly.Would you like to hear it？" Pierre nodded slightly.Kama continued，"In the old days，Gongbu's grandfather was a Tibetan great chieftain，a slaver owner you might call in your culture and my grandfather was just the slave of his family.Therefore，I can understand Gongbu's behavior and I wish you to understand him." Seeing Pierre was still puzzled，Kama spoke louder，"Fifty years ago，they were lords who rode on the people but now everything has changed.You see，Gongbu also changes.Equally，he and I were members of the cycling club.We rode the bicycle together."Together"，do you understand the implication？To tell you the truth，this is also the progress of our nation.Clear？So，as a coach，you should understand him.He has changed，changed a lot，a lot！Kama was overwhelmed and talked incessantly."
21.Pierre heard the story，silently for a while，and said gently，"It is so，but I still need time to digest it." As for Pierre's reply，Kama continued to explain to him.That night they talked late into the night.
22.But from the next day，Pierre resumed Gongbu's training like before and his workout was same as others.Three months elapsed and Pierre's diabolic training enhanced the achievement of Snow Lake greatly.Unprecedently，the team gained the best performance of all the tours of Qinghai Lake.
