【XiaoQiang Quick Review】Criticized by the US media for being ungrateful? Gu Ailing was arrogant and replied: they can't become Olympic champions

Unexpectedly, Gu Ailing reversed the first gold of the Winter Olympics, but some American media could not sit still, they quickly followed up the news, but the focus of the discussion was not the young youngster's wonderful last jump, but Gu Ailing's nationality issue.

In fact, the "encirclement and suppression" of Gu Ailing by western media and some American netizens began before the Winter Olympics. Before the game, the mainstream media in the United States posted that Gu Ailing "walked a tightrope" between China and the United States, and "one wrong step will fall." Conservative TV stations even directly scolded Gu Ailing, calling Gu Ailing "ungrateful" and that Americans should be "collectively disgusted" with her. Under this kind of public opinion propaganda, some extreme American netizens also ran to Gu Ailing's social account and said that she was a "traitor".

In 2019, after winning the first world championship of her career, 15-year-old Gu Ailing officially announced her naturalized Chinese nationality and will represent China at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Due to the escalation of competition between China and the United States, some Americans cannot understand why a girl born and raised in the United States "switched" to the Chinese national team.

In fact, Gu Ailing explained this very early, she believes that she is both an American and a Chinese, because in terms of cultural identity, she has an emotional bond with both countries. She was raised by Chinese mother, was close to her grandmother, could speak fluent Chinese, and spent nearly a third of the year in China. The reason why she chose to fight for China is to promote the relatively unpopular skiing in China and let more young people participate in it.

Such a gentle and pure idea, I did not expect to still be attacked by the US media. Why was Gu Ailing pushed to the cusp? In the final analysis, it is in the context of fierce competition between China and the United States that American society feels fear of China's rise, and this fear is projected onto a very powerful naturalized athlete.

Gu Ailing is a good person, she has never been afraid of these gossip, and often "recoiled" malicious comments on social networks in the United States, and some people asked "Are you going to China for money?" She expressed direct disdain: "You cry." Some media said that another naturalized figure skater was stormed by the internet, and Gu Ailing stepped forward to clarify and expressed support for the athletes. Even the night before winning the championship, she was still "on the line" with these "trolls" on the Internet, and no matter how "sour" the American media and netizens were, they could not affect Gu Ailing's mentality and could not prevent her from breaking through herself to achieve better results.

At the press conference after winning the championship, the US media once again attacked and tried to force her to "choose a side". Gu Ailing generously responded that her game had nothing to do with politics, but rather challenged human limits and connected human beings. She also humorously said, "If someone doesn't like me, then it's their loss." "The moment the snow jumped into the air, she saw the vast world, saw all people regardless of nationality, race, and all people, and the media that prided itself on its international vision only had labels, identities and disputes in her eyes, and the words of the 18-year-old girl should make them feel ashamed." We also look forward to Gu Ailing with her beautiful vision, continue to break through herself, and achieve better results. Headlines hit list
