"The face is like jade, the posture is like a pine, the sky is like a surprise, and the dragon is like a dragon" "Fortunate to know the peach blossom noodles of Qingqing, from then on, there is more warm spring in Quemo"...
This is not an ancient romance novel, but a CCTV sports program commentary, and its description is not a Chinese player, but a Japanese.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying once cheered him on Twitter in Japanese.
In the online survey before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, he was ranked first in the "Most Anticipated Foreign Players List".
With the hot meme of the hit TV series "Beginning", Chinese netizens named him "Yusheng Figure Skating Apostle, Asthma Conqueror, Ice Chosen Man , Knotted String".
He is the feathered knot string known as the "prince of figure skating".
Blood Phantom
Most Chinese audiences started with the tragic accident in 2014.
On November 8th, the World Figure Skating Grand Prix China Cup was held in Shanghai.
During the pre-match warm-up session, the players need to warm up on the ice.
However, the accident suddenly happened at this time: Yusheng Yuxin collided with China's Yan Han in a high-speed taxi, and the violent impact caused both of them to lie on the ice with injuries.
The wounds on his forehead and chin left Habu instantly covered with blood, and the muscles in his legs and abdomen ached violently, even causing Habu to appear in a brief coma.
After examination, the team doctor advised him not to continue to compete, and should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
However, Yu Sheng tried to squeeze out a smile and said firmly, "It doesn't matter, I will slip even to death."
After a simple bandage and bandages, he stood on the ice again, and the music of "Phantom of the Opera" sounded, and he became the only protagonist on the stage.
With a graceful dance, smooth movements, and full of emotion, Yu Yu seems to have forgotten the previous accident and devoted himself to the performance.
However, the pain in his legs and abdomen still affected him, and he jumped and rotated several times, and his legs could not support the weight of his whole body, causing him to fall heavily on the ice.
However, without the slightest hesitation, he turned and stood up smoothly again, and immediately threw himself into the next action.
Getting up, falling, getting up again, falling down again, every movement of Yu sheng's string showed a huge sense of pain, making the people watching it can't help but take a breath of cool air.
Even though the leg injury prevented him from standing still and completing the jumping action, he still completed all other difficult moves well, and even the on-site commentator could not help but say painfully: I hope he will not force himself anymore.
With the heartache of all the audience, a dance song finally ended, and at this moment, "Phantom of the Opera" had been interpreted by him into a song "Phantom of Blood".
The performance was not perfect, but this time he eventually won the silver medal.
After enduring the pain to greet the audience, Yu sheng could hardly stand, limped to the side of the field, and was quickly taken to the hospital by wheelchair.
When I went to the hospital for examination, I found that in addition to the trauma to the forehead and chin, the abdomen was bleeding with pus and blood, and the sprain on the right ankle was also very serious. It was in this state that he still insisted on completing the game.
Not only the pain, but no difficulty will make him flinch, just like when he began to fall in love with skating as a child.
Yu Sheng's original intention has never changed.
The one who was chosen by ice
In 1994, Yusei was born into an ordinary family in Sendai, the father of a teacher and the mother of a housewife.
His father named him "Knot String", hoping that his life would be as smooth and calm as a bowstring.
However, Habu was diagnosed with asthma by the hospital at the age of 2, coughing and breathing hard every night, and in order to enhance his physical fitness, his father wanted him to participate in a sport.
When choosing the event, my mother thought that ice sports were the cleanest sport, plus there was a sister at home who was practicing figure skating.
In this way, Yusei Yushin walked onto the ice with his sister at the age of 4, opening his indissoluble relationship with ice.
At the age of 7, Yusei saw the "Ice Emperor" Pushshenko participating in the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics on TV, and his smooth, beautiful and difficult performance made the audience boil.
Since then, he has regarded Proshenko as an idol and a target in his heart, and has made up his mind about the elegant sport of figure skating.
He kept the same mushroom head as his idol, Pushshenko, and plunged into the ice rink while children of the same age were laughing and playing.
Two weeks of jumping, three weeks of jumping, four weeks of jumping... The level of Yusheng knots improves rapidly, the movements become more and more difficult, and there is only one secret to these improvements: continuous training.
The most difficult thing is to jump around, the other team members practice jumping 20 times a day, he has to practice 60 times.
Even if the body still has to endure the torment of disease, even if it is sprained many times, even if it is asthmatic, for the purpose of his heart, he has never given up.
Although he saw his efforts, fate still created a greater test for him.
In 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck northeastern Japan, and he was training in an ice rink, but his home was in ruins.
That year, when he was 16 years old, his family of four took refuge in the gymnasium, eating only cold water and half a hard rice ball per person every day.
The aftershocks continue, the ice rink has been destroyed – and even if not, he can't hope for his skating dreams at a time when the family is struggling to feed himself.
The annual training fee of 1 million yen is astronomical for this family that is only in ruins.
At that moment, all the ideals and loves bowed their heads in front of reality, and he did not seem to have the right to do anything but "give up".
But if a man has a dream, the whole world will come to help him.
Yusei's childhood coach learned of his situation and couldn't bear to stop here with such a good seedling, so he tried everything to win him the opportunity to train in Yokohama.
Seizing this rare and precious opportunity, Yusheng Yushin threw himself into training more diligently, turning the pain and despair of the past into the driving force and hope for progress.
He gradually came to prominence in big and small competitions, and after winning the bronze medal at the World Championships, he went to a foreign country to receive the guidance of the famous Canadian teacher Brian Oser, which brought him one step closer to his dream, but also paid more hardships.
Outside of training, he needed to learn the language, change his diet, adapt to loneliness, and even endure insults and curses from domestic audiences after he defeated his predecessor Daisuke Takahashi with his strength.
But in order to chase his dreams, none of this will affect his pace of progress.
Every time he thinks of his childhood idols, he is filled with power. Trained wildly and having to meet his idol in the most splendid way, he had only one thought in his mind:
"If you can't do it, you can do it until you can do it; if you can do it, you can do it until it is perfect; if you do it, you can do it perfect no matter how many times."
Finally, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, he won the gold medal again with excellent performances, becoming the only athlete in the event to win the Olympic championship in 66 years.
Even his idol, Pushshenko, cheered for him: "Maybe I used to be his idol, but now, Yusei Yushin is my idol." He's a genius! ”
It must be the most beautiful way to meet the idol in your heart, there is no one.
Grapefruit Winnie Rain
The opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is imminent, and a hot search has exploded on the Internet: "#全世界都在找羽生结弦".
Because when the Japanese delegation arrived in Beijing on February 3, Yusheng Yuxian did not arrive with them, which made chinese audience fans very anxious. Why does he have such a high popularity in China?
In addition to his efforts and achievements in the professional field mentioned earlier, Yusheng Yushin also has many ties with China.
In a reporter interview a few years ago, a reporter once asked "Do you like China?" (Do you like China?) He confessed affectionately "I love China!" (I love China!) ）”
At the 2017 Figure Skating World Championships, he saw that the flag of China's Jin Boyang was reversed, so he took the initiative to help sort it out.
He and a number of Chinese players are privately very good friends, And Liu Xinyu's princess hugging the name scene has long been talked about by netizens.
He once climbed over the ground when his teammates were interviewed by reporters in order not to block the camera.
With the rise of popularity, every time there is a game or performance in which Yu Yu appears, a very interesting picture will appear: Winnie the Pooh Rain.
Because his birthday is the same as Winnie the Pooh, he has always regarded it as his favorite lucky thing. In order to show their love, fans will throw Winnie the Pooh toys into the ice rink after his performance, which has become a beautiful landscape.
Of course, yusheng's popularity, there is another factor that can not be ignored:
In this era of looking at faces, Kiyoshi's Feather String is like the male protagonist who came out of the two-dimensional manga, dancing on the ice, like a dancing ice prince, making watching the game a beautiful enjoyment.
Because of these cute little details, Yu yu knot has a high popularity in Japan.
And because his name and the word "yuzu" in japanese pronunciation are very similar, Chinese netizens also affectionately refer to him as "little yuzu".
Today, Yusheng Yuxian walked into the men's figure skating finals hand in hand with high-level players such as Chinese jin Boyang and Chinese American Chen Wei, contributing a wonderful visual feast to audiences around the world.
Prior to this, due to the epidemic, the Winter Olympic Games did not sell tickets to overseas spectators. Japanese fans of Yu yu yu have asked Chinese audiences on social media to cheer for Yu Yu yu.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying also replied on Twitter in Japanese: "To all the fans of Yusheng Knot, I see (the Japanese people) speaking out: 'Cheers on the spot, please ask the Chinese audience'. Leave it to us! ”
At this moment, we see the Olympic spirit shared by all mankind and the great power style displayed by China.
It is true that the Olympic Games, as a competition at the international level, is based on the unit of the country, and every athlete must win glory for the country.
However, from a higher level, the Olympic Games also carry the new concept of "higher, faster, stronger and more united" and the Olympic spirit of "unity and fraternity, fair competition and mutual understanding".
For outstanding athletes who respect the project, respect the rules, and respect the opponents, even if they come from countries that are not so friendly to us, inclusive and fraternal China will also respect and bless him - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cheered for him, and CCTV explained the most beautiful words to him.
In the final, Yusuke Challenged the 4A (Axel 4 Week Jump) that he had always dreamed of.
This action requires him to jump 20 inches away from the ice surface in a lag time of 0.7 seconds and rotate around in the air, that is, 1620 degrees.
The speed in the air is equivalent to the speed of a car's wheels when driving to 50 miles, and when it lands, it will be subject to an impact force equivalent to 5 to 8 times its own weight.
This action, which has never been publicly successfully done, was once described by the "figure skating emperor" Pushchenko as "breaking through the limits of mankind" and "impossible task".
Yusei has trained for this difficult move countless times.
Before this competition, as a player who has won two consecutive championships, he has been too much expectation and attention from the world, and the media has speculated that he will save the third championship for the sake of conservation, or will he risk challenging the "impossible task"?
As a result, he chose to take the risk, even knowing that if he chose a less difficult action, he would have a good chance of winning the championship.
Although he regrettably failed to complete it successfully, his brave performance of challenging himself and climbing the peak will be unforgettable for everyone who has watched the game.
"Lifetime of suspense" - Yusei Yushin once used this word to describe the meaning of figure skating to himself, which means in Japanese: to do one thing with all your strength in your life.
It is a true portrayal of his ice sports career, which he regards as a treasure.
Thank you Habuyuki, the firm gaze that twinkles in your gentle eyes, the brightest star in the sky where the Olympic flag flutters.
