At noon yesterday, the Beijing Winter Olympics decided to be the champion of the freestyle ski women's big jump. In the end, Gu Ailing defeated the French star Tess with a perfect play in the third jump. When the news of Gu Ailing's victory came out, the whole network exploded. In an instant, half of the 50 hot searches were related to her.
From people's dailys to ordinary users, too many people on the Internet congratulated Gu Ailing on winning the championship. To put it bluntly, Gu Ailing enjoys treatment that no other Olympic champion can match. The project she won the championship is a veritable underdog project compared to basketball and football.
Why do the people of our whole country love Gu Ailing so much?
The author believes that there are three main reasons: First, the Olympic Games were held on our doorstep, and Gu Ailing helped us achieve a breakthrough in snow sports. Second, Gu Ailing's identity is extraordinary, she is a top athlete who voluntarily gave up her American citizenship and then joined the Chinese nationality. Third, although Gu Ailing is of mixed race, she speaks fluent Chinese, is very sympathetic to our Chinese culture, and her personality is lively and cheerful.
Such a Gu Ailing deserves the liking of each of our Chinese.
Of course, people are not much. While Gu Ailing is liked by most Chinese people, it has also aroused the disgust of a small number of people. This small group of people resents Gu Ailing for one main reason - Gu Ailing did not really love China before giving up her American citizenship to join the Chinese nationality, she did this to make money.
In fact, not only at home, but also foreign netizens have raised the same questions about her. In the face of doubt, Gu Ailing did not escape, she simply replied with a sentence - "Cry ab it." This sentence is literally translated into Chinese as "You cry!" ”
So the question is, did Gu Ailing really join China to make money?
I don't have mind-reading, so I can't know all of Gu Ailing's inner thoughts. But through some information, I dare say that Gu Ailing did not join China for the sake of making money. Next, I will share with you the information I have consulted.
First of all, Gu Ailing's ski talent is rare in a hundred years. Take the big jumping project that won the championship as an example, although Gu Ailing's victory is a very normal thing in the eyes of many people, but this is actually very rare. Gu Ailing's best project is the U-shaped pool, and her time to practice the big jump project is only 1 year.
However, in only one year, or without full dedication, she still reached the world's top level of women. This kind of talent is too rare. In contrast, France's talented teenage girl Tesna jumped for several years to become a top master, but she still lost to Gu Ailing in the final.
Such a rare talent, coupled with a good-looking appearance and a cheerful personality, even if Gu Ailing does not come back, she can still make a lot of money as an American athlete. As for commercial endorsements, it is definitely a handful.
Secondly, the difficulties faced by Gu Ailing in abandoning American citizenship to join Chinese nationality are much greater than everyone thinks. When Gu Ailing was an American citizen, she had already made a name for herself in various competitions, so her personal points were among the highest in the world. However, according to the relevant regulations, the individual points of athletes who change nationality must be cleared before they are completely zeroed. Therefore, after Gu Ailing joined China, he had to accumulate personal points little by little from 0.
The low-level competitions that those who initially participated in were too far from the top events in terms of conditions, especially safety guarantees, so Gu Ailing took a huge risk when participating in these competitions. Skiing is a high-risk sport, but participating in low-level events is even more dangerous. Once Gu Ailing suffered a major injury in a low-level event, her entire career was ruined. Under such a huge difficulty, Gu Ailing relied on hard work and courage to save up her personal points, and her world ranking returned to the top.
Finally, Gu Ailing's mother is an authentic Chinese, and she has been teaching her all kinds of Chinese aspects as she grows up. Before becoming famous, Gu Ailing spent a considerable amount of time in China every year. Therefore, before the identity is still American, Gu Ailing is a full Chinese pass.
After answering this question, I will talk about why Xiagu Ailing is highly regarded by everyone. The reason is simple, because she has experienced two different modes of life in China and the United States throughout her growth, and then she chose Chinese nationality. Ms. Gu, who was born in San Francisco, couldn't decide her original nationality, but after she had the option, she chose China. This is too critical.
In some people's stereotypes, the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China, and the development of top talents in the United States will be better than in China. Gu Ailing, she tore this stupid remark with her own actions.
When Gu Ailing makes the right choice, we must admit that there are still a certain number of elites who choose to give up Chinese citizenship and join the United States in order to pursue better development. This phenomenon is not a very rare phenomenon among Tsinghua University graduates. So after these American elites see the news about Gu Ailing, will they feel that their original choice was stupid? Will they be ashamed of themselves?
I can't possibly know what each of them thought, but I know that there is one person who has regretted it, and this person's name is Yang Shuping. After finishing high school in China, Yang Shuping chose to continue his studies at the University of Maryland. Although the University of Maryland is not part of the Ivy League, it is indeed one of the world's top institutions of learning.
After finishing college there, Yang Shuping gave a disgraceful speech on behalf of Chinese students at the graduation ceremony. In her speech, Kunming, which has four seasons of spring, has serious air pollution, and she will get sick without wearing a mask when she goes out. In the United States, she no longer had to wear a mask. The air in the United States is not only clean, but even has a sweet smell.
In the age of the Internet, information spreads very quickly. Not long after Yang Shuping's remarks were issued, our domestic people knew about it. As a result, local officials in Kunming came up with data to debunk Yang Shuping's lies - as of May 8 of that year, the proportion of days with good air quality in Kunming was as high as 100%.
Yang Shuping may not have expected that her praise of the United States so hard did not bring her welfare. Instead, she suffered retribution. If there is no such thing, with a diploma from the University of Maryland, Yang Shuping can at least find a good job. But because she said such stupid things, she was boycotted by major American companies.
After not finding a satisfactory job in the United States, Yang Shuping retreated to the second choice to seek opportunities in South Korea, but she once again ran into a wall for the same reason. After being cornered abroad, Yang Shuping returned to China, but the Internet has a memory, and she can't find a satisfactory job in China. So what is Yang Shuping's life like today? According to the latest news, she had a very average life.
Speaking of which, this article is basically over. Comparing the life experiences of Gu Ailing and Yang Shuping, it is not difficult for us to find out what is the right choice and what is the wrong choice. As an ordinary Chinese, I am proud to be Chinese. In this part of China, I believe that I can realize my Own Chinese Dream by working hard.
