At present, with the increasingly turbulent wave of live streaming with goods, many retired athletes, celebrities and many Internet celebrities have joined in. But the high jump star Zhang Guowei is one of the clear streams, and his Douyin account has 23 million fans and 660 million likes in just two years. It can be said that it is a big Internet celebrity who can leisurely spend the second half of his life by relying on traffic without compromise. But he did not rely on his own traffic to make money, but actively prepared for the game to pursue his dreams.
In August 2021, Zhang Guowei, who was originally retired, announced his comeback and pointed to the Paris Olympic Games. But his move has attracted a lot of discussion. For example, some people ask him why he didn't make money by live streaming classes, but also to go out to participate in the Olympic Games, and it was good to get good results, saying that if he played abnormally, he would not be criticized. He does not feel so, thinking that running a live broadcast class is actually an irresponsibility for himself and others. This time he is going to pursue his dreams hard!
Zhang Guowei, who was once full of enthusiasm, was determined to break the yellow race high jump record held by Zhu Jianguo. However, after achieving quite excellent results, he retired for various reasons, and there was no longer an unruly teenager with white cranes and bright wings on the high jump, which caused many netizens to regret and wonder. Zhang Guowei, who retired from the army, soon became a big Internet celebrity, mainly funny, especially known for absorbing water from a first-hand dragon. Compared with his growing popularity, he has forgotten his original dream. Many athletes before retirement life in addition to training is training, after retirement, life is actually not satisfactory, some even go to the street to sell gold medals! to alleviate the huge economic pressure. In contrast, Zhang Guowei is doing well, relying on his network popularity, affectionately known as "dragon water absorption performance artist" and "mudslide in sports".
In fact, from his training videos, it can be seen that he has a kind of "not accepting defeat" and "not being afraid of suffering" momentum. When he watched the Olympic athletes at home, the blood in his body boiled again, and his dreams from many years ago were picked up again. Standing in his rented training ground, looking at the high jump pole in front of him, and then looking at the athletes on the Olympic field who were sought after by thousands of people because of their outstanding results and personality charm, he could not resist the love of sports in the depths of his soul, this love could not make him willing to be calm, he made a very challenging decision, that is, to come back and compete in the Paris Olympic Games to win glory for the country!
Although some people say that he is in pursuit of "fame" and "profit", in my opinion, what can support him all the way down and return to the top is his persistence in his dreams and the sincerity of the "proud athlete" in his heart. For him, being able to achieve excellent results on the field, win the applause of the audience and win glory for the motherland, just like his name, "the country is great" is his greatest pursuit.
