Since it was just in time for the Olympic Games, Liu Jia felt that the only thing she could do for them was to donate her most precious and reluctant "Olympic robes", and if anyone needed to bring them a little warmth, she would donate them all.

Unexpectedly, under Liu Jia's question, everyone was willing to give, including foreign athletes, and after learning that the flood in Henan had caused many people to lose their homes, everyone was willing to donate their "Olympic robes". Portugal, Spain, France, Poland... The athletes from all over the world that Liu Jia met donated themselves in the "battle robe", and she put the collected clothes into the box, and the suitcase could not be covered. Liu Jia said that the table tennis team is like a big family, although everyone fights to the death on the field, but after the game, everyone is still very united.

In this year's Tokyo Olympic table tennis competition, Liu Jia, who represented Austria, was also repeatedly injured and tortured

When Liu Jia, who was in Tokyo in the European Times, interviewed her about this, she was quite surprised to say that at that time, when she donated under the pseudonym of "Jiajia", she did not want to publicize it, and she did not expect the video to be put on the Internet.

This Internet does not matter, the overseas Chinese living in Austria recognized her for the first time - this is not our Liu Jia! But Liu Jia said lightly: "We should serve the motherland. ”

In fact, as early as the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan at the beginning of last year, Liu Jia donated a large number of masks that were very tense at that time for the motherland. It was the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year last year, when Rigina Augendorpler, assistant general manager of the Austrian Baking Colin Baking Company, came to the Vienna office of Hainan Airlines and asked HNA to ship more than ten boxes of masks they had collected from many sources to China.

Okendorpler, the founder of Baking Colin, is an old friend of Chinese people, and when he heard about the epidemic in China, he immediately said that he would donate masks and other materials to China free of charge, and raised thousands of masks in Linz, where the company is located, in one morning. He said: China is a great country, and the Chinese people are a great nation, they are strong, brave and hardworking. "I deal with them a lot and believe they'll be able to get through it smoothly. As an Austrian, I want to make them feel confident from the European continent with their actions. ”
