She's really handsome.
Gu Ailing won the championship!!!
Unexpected, but unexpected.
Previously, I read reports that the contestants in this project are very good; there are also reports that this is not her main sport. Of course, she is happy if she can win the championship, and it is nothing if she can't win the gold medal, she is only 18 years old, and the road is long.
Sure enough, we didn't dare to think about it. There was nothing she couldn't do.
Someone posted a picture, some bloggers analyzed how strong Gu Ailing's opponents were in order to reduce expectations, and Gu Ailing also commented: Are you confident in me?
This unbridled confidence alone has surpassed most people.
She is probably the "other people's child" in the minds of all Chinese parents - good academic performance, high scores into Stanford; a wide range of hobbies, fashion, sports, art can do everything; can talk, the pattern is big, are embarrassed to criticize her not to love the quilt.
What is even more enviable is the intimate and mutually trusting relationship between her and her mother Gu Yan.
In an interview when she was a teenager, she said that my mom was the best mom in the world. He also said slightly apologetically: I'm sorry for other moms, but my mom is better than you.
There is no such perfect daughter as Gu Ailing, probably because we... Can't do gu yan such a good mother.
Looking closely, Gu Ailing is actually a super version of her mother - she has an excellent mother, and she has also achieved the transcendence of her mother.
That's bloody.
Mom is a school bully.
So is Gu Ailing.
Mother Gu Yan is also a school bully, first Peking University and then Stanford, working on Wall Street, she is not the kind of mother who "sacrificed everything for her daughter" in the traditional sense.
On the contrary, my life is very exciting.
Mom is a ski lover.
My daughter became a rising star in the ski world.
Gu Yan was a good skier when she was at Peking University, and she was still working as a ski instructor after Gu Ailing was born.
Gu Ailing began to ski at the age of two or three, and by the time he was 9 years old, he was already a small player with a great reputation in the United States.
In an interview, my mother once said that the most important thing for her daughter is to influence her and create an atmosphere for her. She also said that if she plays golf herself, maybe Gu Ailing will also like to play golf.
Mom encouraged her to try more: It's always right to try it, right?
Gu Ailing once said that her mother has always encouraged herself to try more, because after trying, she found that it didn't matter if she didn't like it, in case she liked it, she would earn it.
Nowadays, Gu Ailing's interests and hobbies are particularly extensive, and they are all done in a similar way, which is inseparable from her mother's concept.
Gu Ailing is not only good at skiing, running, piano, horseback riding, swimming can afford to put down, is a very good sports girl.
And most of the mothers around us don't like their children to try too much, afraid that their children are "not qualitative"; or trying things that are "useless", and hope to learn useful things as much as possible - in the end, interest becomes a task, and the fun is greatly reduced.
Mom can hold on.
The daughter is also tough.
Gu Ailing said her mother drove 8 hours every weekend to take her to skiing.
According to related reports, it was after Gu Ailing joined the Lake Tahoe Ski Team in the United States, because the ski resort is relatively far away, and every weekend her mother had to drive her.
As a child, she slept in the back seat and sat in the back to write her homework when she grew up.
This persistence of the mother has also been perfectly inherited here in Gu Ailing. She practiced skiing very hard and never wasted a moment; she once went to the race immediately after a high fever first aid.
There is also a small video clip of Gu Ailing, who briefly lost her memory after a fall and couldn't remember anything, and she asked her mother, "What are we doing in China?"
Every achievement is bought by hard work and sweat, especially in competitive sports, talent is very important, but if there is no persistence and hard work, there is no good result.
For a thing that is loved, this spirit of persistence is touching, it is not so bitter and bitter, but it can inspire the child's determination to insist on doing a good job from the heart.
There are many parents who are disappointed by their children's half-heartedness in the matter of hobbies and interests, but in fact, many times, it is the parents who give up first, from the heart to the spirit of abandonment, the child also gives up.
The mother respects her daughter.
The daughter also understands and understands others.
I watched a lot of interviews about Gu Ailing today, and her confident temperament is really charming. She speaks confidently, but at the same time she is very supportive and understanding of other players.
Mom was very supportive of her and at the same time had a lot of respect for her.
Including the earth-shattering third jump in the final, the sudden increase in difficulty is also Gu Ailing's own decision - after the second jump, she once talked to her mother on the phone, and her mother said that she hoped that she would jump a difficulty that was not so high and get the silver medal. But Gu Ailing's reaction was "no", and later her mother said "That's your choice... Hope you can enjoy the game".
She turned up the difficulty and eventually won the gold medal.
Even Grandma is a master of exaggeration. Gu Ailing said that from childhood to adulthood, her grandmother said that "we love Ling is the best."
It's really important to respect your child's choices and encourage your child's progress.
Family lifting.
Material conditions are of course important.
Gu Ailing's parents graduated from prestigious schools, the family is well-off, she plays a lot of things, it is indeed not ordinary children can have at once.
I have to admit that if the material foundation of the family is sufficient and the quality of the parents is high, the child will be better raised.
Just having money is not enough. The rich second generation who do not learn and have no skills abound.
But now I can really see a lot of excellent second-generation people with good births. If a child has good genes and a good birth, if he accepts the ear and is willing to work hard from an early age, there is no reason not to succeed.
They are more confident, more resilient, have a broader vision, a bigger pattern.
A child who grew up in the space of love and freedom, this is Gu Ailing.
People with such a high starting point have worked so hard, do we still have an excuse to lie flat?
Not really.
