"Full of enthusiasm, but keep calm and calm! Fight for the sense of honor tonight! This afternoon, Chinese ice hockey player Zheng Enlai wrote a battle book on Weibo.
At 21:10 Beijing time tonight, the Chinese men's ice hockey team will usher in its historic first match on the field of the Winter Olympics, against the American men's ice team.
Zheng Enlai, 24, will also put on the chinese team uniform for the first time to realize his dream of participating in the Olympic Games.
Born in Canada to a Chinese mother and a German-Canadian father, Zheng Enlai skated at the age of 3, started playing hockey at the age of 5, and played the Canadian Professional Hockey League at the age of 16.
Zheng Enlai also has a younger sister, as a naturalized athlete to represent the Chinese team at the Summer Olympics held in Tokyo last summer, she is Zheng Ninali, she won the tenth place in the women's heptathlon competition at the Tokyo Olympics.
Now, her brother is also representing the Chinese team in the Winter Olympic Games, and Zheng Ninali recalled her childhood on Weibo and encouraged her brother to win glory for the country.
Zheng Enlai and Zheng Ninali have strong genetic genes. Their mother, Duan Li, was a Chinese high jumper, their grandmother was Chinese track and field star Zheng Fengrong, and their grandfather Duan Qiyan was the men's high jump champion at the first National Games in 1959.
Zheng Fengrong successfully jumped 1.77 meters in the Beijing Athletics Competition in 1957, breaking the women's high jump world record of 1.76 meters held by American athlete McDaniel at that time, becoming the first female athlete in China to break the world record and the first athlete to break the world record in athletics.
Zheng Fengrong's idol is Premier Zhou, who has also been received. Coincidentally, the grandson's birthday and Premier Zhou's birthday are on the same day as March 5, so the grandson's Chinese name is "Zheng Enlai".
Zheng Fengrong's biggest regret that year was not being able to represent China in the Olympic Games. Last summer, granddaughter Zheng Ninali represented the Chinese team in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and now the grandson Zheng Enlai will represent the Chinese team in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Zheng Fengrong is the happiest person, fulfilling her Olympic dream.
Zheng Enlai has been waiting for this day for a long time, "I feel extremely honored to continue the tradition of the family serving the country!" It was a moment I've been dreaming of for a long time! Although the opponents are strong, we will definitely do our best! Come on! ”
