Taiwanese elements in the Beijing Winter Olympics
"The green mountains can't be stopped, after all, the east is going." On the one hand, the DPP authorities are deeply afraid of "offending" the Yankees behind their backings, and they follow the United States in carrying out the so-called "boycott" of the Beijing Winter Olympics; on the other hand, out of the narrow mentality of "hating the rich and hating the poor," they are sour and slippery about Beijing's achievements in becoming the first "double Olympic" city, and they suddenly have the mentality of "not helping Beijing to celebrate.", so they embrace a cold attitude and do not make any propaganda. However, in the case of compliance with the Olympic Charter, especially in the case of fear that it will lead to suspension of rights and loss of the right to host various international and intercontinental Games, the decision of its athletes not to attend the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics will have to be reversed. At the same time, the splendid scene of the fusion of science and technology and art at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics has amazed the people of Taiwan, and even the "famous chews" that usually talk nonsense to the mainland have to be praised. Public opinion in Taiwan seems to have undergone a subtle but remarkable change.
In fact, the media and people in Taiwan are still quite concerned about and concerned about the Beijing Winter Olympics. In particular, as a public television agency, it set aside channel 3 to broadcast the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics throughout the broadcast, and specially broadcast the entire schedule of the four athletes of the Chinese Taipei delegation. This shows that the relevant institutions and personnel who understand the matter cherish this opportunity. This is not only to carry forward the Olympic spirit, but also a rare opportunity for cross-strait exchanges in the field of sports, and should not be interfered with by political factors.
In fact, due to the subtropical nature of Taiwan, the low probability of snowfall all year round, and the climate and environment are not conducive to the development of winter sports, the past ten times in the name of "Chinese Taipei" in the Winter Olympic Games have not won medals. This time, four athletes will sprint, and the chances of winning medals have increased, which has aroused strong interest in the Beijing Winter Olympics by some Taiwanese people.
Huang Yuting's attention, in addition to making a "training dress storm", but in the end she became one of the flag officers of the Chinese Taipei team at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but also because she may get better results and will have the opportunity to stand on the podium. Thirty-three-year-old Huang Yuting from Kaohsiung was born into a skating family, and her parents also met and fell in love because of fancy skating. Her father, Huang Jinlong, was her initiation coach and is still in charge of her training coaching.
Huang Yuting is a past roller skater who has won gold at the Asian Games and medals at the Asian Championships, World Championships and World Games. However, skate skating was not included in the Olympic competition, so Huang Yuting switched to speed skating.
The other three Taiwanese athletes, all of whom have stepped on the Hall of the Winter Olympics for the first time, competed in skiing and bobsleigh, namely sledding women Lin Xinrong, skiers Li Weiyi and He Bingrui. Not only are taiwanese athletes qualified for skiing in the past 30 years, but it is also the first time in Taiwan's history that both male and female athletes have obtained ski tickets at the same time.
In fact, many athletes in Taiwan are training in the mainland or interact well with mainland athletes during the competition. Therefore, privately, they have different views on the CROSS-strait policy of the DPP authorities. In particular, the DPP authorities' approval of the "referendum" on the so-called "Tokyo Olympics, Taiwan's Correct Name" issue may deprive athletes from the Taiwan region of their right to participate in the competition, and they are extremely disgusted.
Lin Xinrong, a female bobsleigher of the Chinese Taipei team who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, indirectly refuted the indiscriminate rhetoric of the "independence faction" in Taiwan by virtue of her living conditions and epidemic prevention measures in the Beijing Winter Olympic Village. She pointed out to the media that the team members lived well in the Winter Olympic Village and the staff were friendly. The epidemic prevention measures in the Yanqing Winter Olympics area where she is located are very meticulous, and nucleic acid tests are carried out every day, and if there is any discomfort in the body, they will be questioned at the first time. Referring to the food in the Winter Olympic Village, Lin Xinrong laughed and said, "Eat well." She also mentioned some intimate arrangements in the Winter Olympic Village, such as worrying that foreign players are not used to eating, preparing meals such as fried eagles and pancakes, and sending special personnel to check whether the ingredients contain stimulant ingredients every day to ensure that there will be no leaks.
Not only are players from Taiwan participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, but also people from Taiwan are participating in various activities of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Five Taiwan compatriots participated in the torch relay of the Beijing Winter Olympics held from February 2 to 4, and more than 30 Taiwanese students studying in Beijing universities were successfully selected as volunteers to participate in event services, media operations, sports, transportation and other services in the olympic park public area, main media center, national stadium and other venues. Among them, Chen Wencheng, a Taiwanese citizen who teaches in the Physical Education and Research Department of Peking University, set up the Taiwan Youth Winter Olympics City Volunteer Service Team, saying that he would let compatriots on both sides of the strait move toward the future together and share the passion and glory of the Winter Olympics.
In addition, the opening song of the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Together to the Future", was exposed, bringing together 105 groups of artists from all over the taiwan strait to sing, including more than 10 Taiwanese artists such as Ouyang Nana, Shu Qi, Su Youpeng, Xiao Jingteng, Wu Kequn, Xu Ruyun, Zhang Junning and Ren Xianqi. Penny Tai, a Malaysian artist who debuted in Taiwan, is also listed. The MV also features four landmarks, including Taipei 101 Night View and Day View, and a group of Taiwanese children participating.
At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, one of the shows was "Shining Snowflakes". Through the performance of 660 children who sang and danced, they gathered into a heart shape, and the "heart" is an expression of warmth. The director specially designed the "little pigeon that fell behind", and there was a little pigeon who was left behind, who was pulled back by a slightly older child and pulled back into the heart-shaped team, forming a very warm picture. This scene was considered by mainland netizens to be a metaphor for Taiwan as a metaphor for "the little pigeon left behind", and "being brought back to the team" implied cross-strait reunification, saying that "no 'pigeon' can be less" and "no 'pigeon' can be divided." The official microblog of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League forwarded a clip of the program at the top of Weibo in the early morning of February 5, writing: "Lost children, go home early."
Although the DPP authorities have repeatedly "warned" that the Beijing Winter Olympics are a platform for the mainland to carry out a "united front" against Taiwan, there are still many people who are unmoved. Former Kuomintang Chairman Hong Xiuzhu landed again to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics and was met by Wang Yang, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to jointly reaffirm "opposing independence and promoting reunification."
This is exactly what it is: the tide of history, mighty and unstoppable.
