16-year-old "abandoning the United States to shoot in the middle", 3 years to realize the dream of the Winter Olympics top stream, what did her parents do?

This blonde girl's name was Gu Ailing. Who would have thought that this Chinese girl, who speaks old Beijing Mandarin, won the Beijing Winter Olympics and the free ski women's big jump championship with a super difficult ski action, creating a historic scene for Chinese skiing.

After winning the championship, Chinese netizens boiled over, and Lao Mei seemed to have eaten sour lemons and completely broke the defense. Many people are very curious, why can she be so good? Are her parents really different from ordinary parents?

With these questions in mind, this issue of Character Stories reveals the details for you.

The whole family learns to dominate genes

1600 out of 1600 Gu Ailing 1580 into Stanford

In September 2003, Gu Ailing was born in San Francisco, usa, a Sino-AMERICAN family, as soon as the child was born, she took the surname of her mother, her mother's name was Gu Yan, an optimistic and cheerful Beijing girl, or a Peking University bully.

Gu Ailing's grandmother is feng Guozhen, a well-known alumnus of Peking University. Gu Ailing's father is a high-achieving student at Harvard University.

This gene of the whole family is naturally inherited to her daughter Gu Ailing.

Like many Chinese parents, they are also crazy about the baby, and the mother likes to take pictures to record her daughter's life. Gu Ailing's father posted a photo with his daughter in his circle of friends, threatening that his daughter is a little genius! This incident was quickly reflected in Gu Ailing's test results, and he returned to the first place in the exam.

Later, he took the American Academic Ability Test, with a full score of 1600 points, and Gu Ailing scored 1580 points, and enrolled in Stanford by the way. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg in Gu'ai Ling Versailles. Gu Ailing's mother, Gu Yan's cultivation and dedication to her daughter, is another key to Gu Ailing's success.

Mothers love challenges

The story behind Gu Ailing's name is sad

Gu Ailing's personality that likes to challenge actually comes from her mother, Gu Yan. After graduating from Peking University, Gu Yan has studied in many well-known universities in the United States, although the university is biology, she likes to do challenging things, and after graduation, she engaged in investment work that is completely unrelated to the major.

At that time, the story of Gu Yan, a talented woman from Peking University, who bravely broke into Wall Street, was reported one after another in China. However, Gu Yan's career in the United States is in full swing, and an accident has made her choose between her career and her daughter's growth.

In November 2002, Gu Yan's sister Ling was killed in a car accident in the United States. At this time, Gu Ailing was born, and in a foreign country, her sister Ling was dependent on her.

Out of the thought of her sister, she named her daughter Gu Ailing.

10 days of make-up classes in Haidian, China

Top American school year

In order to better take care of her daughter, Gu Yan first gave up the high salary income of Wall Street, and then took her mother to the United States to help take care of her daughter Gu Ailing, in her view, the growth of her daughter can not be missed, as a mother, the growth and talent of her daughter is the most important "investment" in her life.

Since then, her mother, Gu Yan, has flown back to Beijing from San Francisco every summer for at least two months, letting her play with the children in the courtyard and talk about Chinese with them. This is a precious scene recorded by Gu Ailing when she was 13 years old when she came to Beijing.

When the reporter asked why Gu Ailing Chinese so fluent. Without hesitation, she replied: Shouldn't I be born? Gu Ailing blurted out, behind which was a mother, who insisted on it for more than ten years.

Although Gu Ailing was born in the United States, she grew up in San Francisco. But Gu Ailing's relationship with her mother's mother's family, China, has not been severed from beginning to end. In the United States, she called her mother's mother "Grandma", and the family spoke in easy-to-understand Beijing dialect.

At the cram school in Huangzhuang, Haidian, Beijing, Gu Ailing said that her mother told her:

Come to China for ten days of classes, and be able to top in the United States for one year.

In addition to studying, Gu Ailing is even more addicted to Beijing's cuisine, likes to eat buns in large bites, and loves Peking duck the most. It seems that Gu Ailing is a Beijing girl who grew up in the United States.

Gu Ailing's mother's approach is completely different from many people who went to the United States and forgot about China completely, even spoke ill of each other, slandered and smeared China, and she set an example for her daughter. No matter where you are, you can't forget your roots.

If at this point, you also think that Gu Ailing's mother has done a remarkable job, please reply in the comment area: remarkable, three words. Thank you for your participation!

My mother loved skiing

Daughter "Blue out of blue"

Gu Yan likes to ski, as early as during her studies at Peking University, Gu Yan was a member of the school's short track speed skating team and ski instructor. She often drives to the Lake Tahoe Ski Resort in California, and she takes Gu Ailing with her every time, and every time she skis, Gu Ailing will wear many layers of clothes, like an "Ice Dun Dun", round and rolling on the ski slope. Always wrestling.

But she rarely cried, and Gu Ailing later recalled:

While the other children were crying and complaining, I was busy on the small ramp.

In order to accompany her daughter to learn to ski, Gu Yan became a part-time coach of the ski resort, every weekend, the round trip of 8 hours, Gu Ailing's mother sent her to the team for professional training. Cold and summer, foreign countries, mother and daughter accompanied by each other, and finally Gu Ailing's talent for skiing was completely stimulated.

Since Gu Ailing was exposed to skiing, she has won many awards in American ski competitions. He joined the ski team at the age of 8, won the National Junior Championship in his first competition at the age of 9, and topped the overall standings for three consecutive years, and at the age of 13, Gu Ailing competed in the adult category.

So far, she has accumulated only 50 gold medals.

In January 2019, 16-year-old Gu Ailing won her first world championship and topped the ITF list with excellent results, and these medals have filled the whole house.

In addition to these, Gu Ailing has also embarked on the stage of fashion, in various fields, Gu Ailing has gained countless fans and become a well-known star in the United States. However, just when her career reached its peak, she made an amazing decision.

Gu Ailing "abandons the United States and throws in the middle"

China is home

Resolutely give up their American citizenship, join China, and represent Chinese skiers in the race! The peak we thought was actually the starting point of Gu Ailing's once again climbing the peak!

She hopes to drive more girls in China to fall in love with the sport of skiing and lead China's skiing to the forefront of the world, because she has never forgotten that she still has the blood of Chinese flowing on her body, it can be said that it is the words and deeds of her mother Gu Yan who teach and practice, and cultivate an excellent Chinese daughter.
