Yesterday, #Gu Ailing won the gold medal in the freestyle ski women's big jumping platform #was swiped!
The key third jump, Gu Ailing withstood the pressure and jumped out of a super difficult action!
This is a "difficulty that no girl in the world has ever challenged"! - Deflect the deflection axis rotor 1620 to the left.
Netizen: Gu Ailing seems to be able to fly!
After landing steadily, Gu Ailing in the camera also made an incredible reaction at the first time. IOC President Bach in the stands couldn't help but applaud her. CCTV commentary later said N "unbelievable" in succession to express his excitement and joy. The referee scored a game-high score of 94.50 for Gu Ailing. Gu Ailing was already crying with joy in the camera at this time.
In the post-game interview, the child said, "Today is my happiest day, the happiest second, the most touching second." My movements have never been completed by a girl challenge. ”
Such a girl, never seen before!
What is this human super girl?
To tell you the truth, yesterday morning, due to nervousness and excitement, Gu Ailing knelt down and cried with joy, and when I looked at it in my heart, tears were in my eyes.
Under the high strength of her opponents and the high pressure of home expectations, she actually showed super self-confidence and dared to challenge herself - and succeeded! How to get away from these ten years of efforts.
After Ailing won the championship, everyone should not read less, and the novel did not dare to write such a crazy script, that is, The real young life of Ailing. She went to board at the age of 3, entered the ski team at the age of 8, started to win the world championship at the age of 13, and now she is only 18 years old when she bites the gold medal of the Winter Olympics... "Either in the championship, or on the way to the championship" "36 days to win 6 championships", the exaggerated record is the daily life of this baby.
In addition to skiing, this kid also loves long-distance running, basketball, horseback riding, football, archery, rock climbing... Participate in cross-country racing, you can also get a Second place in San Francisco...
Like many Chinese children, Ai Ling also learned the piano, piano, vocal music, ballet... It was all very ok... The purple micro star that fell from the sky turned out not to be a legend...
Not only that, but she also graduated from high school a year earlier, and she will enter Stanford in September this year to start her college career, which is not a sports specialty, but a SAT1580 score (out of 1600 points).
Not long ago, I returned to Shanghai from Hongqiao Airport, and as soon as I came out, I was brushed by 5 big brands of Ailing endorsement (according to netizens, there are currently more than 20 commercial endorsement brands in Ailing, and the number far exceeds that of first-line stars). Ai Ling herself also said in the 16-year-old documentary, "I have lived so much in the lives of 4 people. ”
For us in the public, this talented girl fell from the sky with the attention of the Winter Olympics to the ice and snow sports. But from my intuition as a mother, the reason why Gu Ailing is Gu Ailing, there must be a powerful "genius mother" behind her.
"I'm sorry for the other mom, but my mom is better than you"
With the heart of "mom pays tribute to mom", I "deeply picked" the parenting experience of Ling Ling's mother and watched a lot of materials and documentaries.
Seeing Ai Ling hugging her mother and crying because of illness, refusing to give up the game because of her heartache for her mother's efforts...
When I proudly said "I'm sorry for other moms, but my mom is really better than you" because I was happy to win the championship, my nose was sore again and again...
(This kind of human script is really too good to shed tears, mother-daughter love is deep, touched, Love Ling This child can be treated, she knows how to be grateful)
To say that Gu Ailing's mother is really more simple than ordinary people.
# The first one is not simple #
Chicken babies are not as typical as chickens themselves
Ailing's mother, Ms. Gu Yan, graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering of Peking University, studied at Stanford, and worked Wall Street after graduation. She was a member of the Peking University Short Track Speed Skating Team and a ski instructor in the United States.
According to the data, Gu Yan did not deliberately train her daughter to ski at first, because in the snow field as a coach, the child played in the snow field when he was three months old, got on the board when he was three years old, and skated in powder snow at the age of four...
Because of the mother's platform and resources, the child will slip when he walks. No wonder Gu Yan said that if she liked golf, Gu Ailing might fall in love with golf.
In a documentary, Gu Yan said that she was originally very playful and liked skiing, but she didn't expect to play with her, and skated better than her.
In this story, we don't see the hardships of athletes throwing their lives in training in order to win the gold medal. It's easy to feel the mother and daughter's sincere love for ice and snow sports.
Teaching by example is greater than words. It was Gu's mother who summed up her own nurturing of Ai Ling.
BTW, a powerful netizen also found that Gu Mama, is a cruel person with a career and a baby double repair. Gu Yan did not completely give up her career for the sake of the champion daughter, and she is still an investment expert for an investment company in China.
Ai Ling mentioned more than once in the interview that her mother and grandmother are women who she "admires" very much. "Confident, courageous and powerful".
# The second one is not simple #
The mood of the sea god needle is stable
Ailing became famous early, and began to win gold medals in the competition of interest to career since the age of 13, so he left a lot of video materials.
As I watched these documentaries, I was deeply moved by the impatience, calmness, gentleness and firmness that emanated from Ailing's mother.
Always smiling, always giving the child a hug.
The child participated in the U-shaped track skills competition for the first time at the age of 13, fell to the ground on the first jump, and had a high fever of 42 degrees when he returned. The pain in the lungs and throat makes the child miserable, holding the mother and shouting uncomfortable. Gu Yan's gentle companionship and care, do not think about how to do the game, the child is sick like this is not chaotic, in the strange city at night to buy medicine, enlighten the child is not better than it does not matter. (Of course, to be strong, Ailing, get up the next day, and come back with the first gold medal in the whole professional competition...)
I was fascinated by the very daily conversations between the two of them. Maybe it's being a mother, bringing in the kind of heartache of a mother, who sees their child with a high fever and faces an important game of interest to career for the first time, without a little wave.
Ai Ling lay on the couch and said that her throat was very sore, "as if a child was going to be born in her throat." Mother Gu smiled and asked her how she knew how painful it was to have a baby. Ai Ling asked her mother if it was painful to have a baby. Mom said "no, it's not that bad".
As an audience member, I also laughed, yes, raising such a sensible Ai Ling, even if it is not a champion, I am very pleased. The pain of giving birth to a child, in the face of the sweetness of raising a child, counts as something.
# The third one is not simple #
Ten years of perseverance
Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Lake Tahoe is an American ski resort and host to the 1960 Winter Olympics. In the Lake Tahoe professional ski team, a number of legendary athletes have been born.
In 2011, at the age of 8, Gu Ailing joined the Lake Tahoe District's professional ski training team and began systematically learning freestyle skiing.
Every year during the American snow season, every week Gu Yan will brave the heavy snow to send Gu Ailing to Lake Tahoe. In order to ensure that she can participate in the training on time every weekend, Gu Yan has to drive her every Friday, which is an 8-hour drive. Once can be twice, but Gu's mother has been like a day for more than ten years, taking her daughter to the base for training every week. In the mother's mouth, this is a "trivial contribution" to the daughter.
*From the age of 3 to the age of 13 interviewed, driving the same road for ten snow seasons.
With the persistence and companionship of the mother, the child's interest has been greatly guaranteed, and even if it encounters the inevitable pain and frustration in competitive sports, it also has a spiritual pillar that does not move.
At the 2021 Ski World Championships, she insisted on participating in the competition when she fractured her right hand and ripped the ligament of her thumb, and won two golds and one bronze before going to the hospital for surgery. I think that this powerful will beyond the imagination of mortals has found a source of rooted life in my mother.

Clear parenting ideas and clear goals
There are resources, there is strength, there is talent, and there must be opportunities.
Gu Ailing, who was influenced by her Chinese mother since childhood, has been interested in Chinese culture since childhood. Ai Ling's mother also took advantage of the summer vacation to give the baby a Math class in Beijing, 10 days of Beijing intensive training, and could study in the United States for one year. The children skied and skated well again, and went back to school to easily kill their classmates.
After the successful bid for the Winter Olympics in Beijing, a small seed of "greeting the world with Chinese words" sprouted in Ailing's heart. Mother Gu communicated with Ailing that in order to achieve this goal, she must have excellent results and points in the world rankings to represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics.
With such goals and ideas, the mother and daughter are like a team, competing on the world ski stage. In 2018, Gu Ailing won the gold medal in Italy of the World Ski Open with an almost overwhelming advantage. It was also in this year that she scored more than a thousand points from the International Ski Federation, topping the standings.
Gu Ailing is difficult to encounter,
Good moms are worth learning.
An interviewer asked Gu Yan, "How do you teach your children so well?" ”
Gu Yan said that there is no special educational concept, if you have to say, you remember the two sentences of The teacher who entered the school when Ailing was a child:
The first is not to correct their typos and not to discourage children's creativity;
The second is to praise them less for their cleverness and more praise for their efforts.
From Mother Gu, I saw a very clear "good mother" trait:
1. Confidence. Confident mothers don't need to use their children's achievements to satisfy their vanity, and they don't have to impose pressure or demand results. Someone once interviewed Gu Ailing and asked her mother if she was a tiger mother, and she said, "Mom is a rabbit mother." It can be seen that the mother-daughter relationship is integrated rather than oppressively agitated.
2. Respect. Respect your child's choices and passions.
3. Sense of purpose and clear thinking. Know where to go, know how to go.
4. Companionship and encouragement. Ten years of sticking to the child's side, not a simple physical space together, but a full two-way interaction.
* 13-year-old Gu Ailing fell down the first jump of the first professional competition, her mother said.
5. Enlightened and cheerful, the mother's high pattern, in the parent-child life continues to love and accept the child steadily. The sober understanding that "there is no perfect man".
6. Perseverance. Strong ability to resist pressure and calm in case of trouble. When the child encounters setbacks and fears injuries in the growth, calmly waiting can give the child a needle-like dependence.
7. Trust. Whether it is successful or obscure, whether it is a high or low period, believe in the child's efforts, believe that every experience is experience, believe in the process, and believe that "their own belief" is the great power of the child.
8. Teaching by example is greater than words, preaching is the most boring, what kind of qualities you want your child to have, do it yourself first. The appearance is more convincing.
9. Give with determination without utilitarianism. I was touched by an interview with Gu Ailing, who said that she really loves skiing, not to practice skiing for the championship, but to experience happiness in skiing to continue to have motivation to practice, and it is good to get a champion by the way. Such a core idea is also seen in the mother's efforts for the love of her daughter, not for the result, respect and seriousness of the process, the result is a natural thing.
10. Persistence. Identify things, go to the end. No one is a natural champion, even if it is Gu Ailing, who is in good time and place, is also 99% of the sweat in exchange for the results, fully respect the child's talent and choice, diligent persistence, is the strength of parents.
The gentle firmness of the mother rabbit comes from herself
Before posting this article, I saw a report from 1998 that was an interview with Ms. Gu Yan, general manager of American Technology Investment Co., Ltd. and chairman of Beijing Oriental Weibo International Information Technology Co., Ltd.
In 1993, she set a precedent for the Chinese financial community to successfully conduct a $200 million commercial loan on Wall Street in the United States. In 1994, he started his own business, and co-founded the American Technology Co., Ltd. with evans, an American venture capital expert, which is also the first enterprise in China to introduce a venture capital mechanism...
At that time, she mobilized talents to return to China together to realize China's Silicon Valley dream, saying in the report that "the best way to predict the future is to create the future." When she was young, she pursued the dream of high-tech venture capital, and after having a baby, she accompanied Gu Ailing to create a new trend of skiing in China.
Parents' abilities and vision, the soil for children's growth.
So let's encourage it together.
