It's a race with a 28-place world ranking gap, a contest between a team debuting at the Winter Olympics and an Olympic champion. It was a game that was considered a double-digit goal gap before the game, but, in the first quarter, the Chinese team managed to drag down the opponent and trailed by only one point.
Striker Ying Ruyuan: "In fact, I know that many people may have expected this result, but I personally think that the American team may be really strong in history, but this session considers the level of our team, including the level of the other side, in fact, today's ball has something to play, and the results of the first quarter also prove this." ”
Although it was still a big score defeat in the end, the Chinese men's ice hockey team that debuted at the Olympic games has found a little direction. You know, until last November, the International Ice Hockey Federation was still dissuading the Chinese team because it thought that the difference in strength was too big and worried that the game was too ugly. This group of team members did not let anyone underestimate themselves. Yuan Junjie himself specially set up an ice shoe graffiti, covered with a five-star red flag, and four words "to win glory for the country".
Yuan Junjie: "Before the Olympic Games, I designed it myself, and then I was, that is, we feel very excited, it is a very honorable thing to represent China, so if there is a chance, I can, so, you see what I wrote on the ice is to win glory for the country, you can like it." ”

Among them, Jack Kyrios' father is a member of the North American Hockey League Hall of Fame, once won the Olympic silver medal in the United States, And Kylios also shared his Olympic experience with his family for the first time: "I called my father for the first time and told him everything about here, just like he told me about his Olympic experience, it is the same Olympic Village, the same fast food, the same volunteers, the Olympic Games is a special experience in life. When I talked about this, my mom was also very excited. ”
In the mixed interview area after the game, Chinese ice hockey players generously accepted interviews one by one, with questions and answers, even if some foreign media questions were not so friendly, but their answers were so similar, because this is the most real and reasonable feeling
Kylios: "It's a very incredible feeling, we worked very hard and there are so many passionate fans, and at such a beautiful home in our own home, it reminds me of what I felt like in my first game in New Jersey, the kind of moment that will leave a special memory in your memory. ”
Fu Jiang, who gave himself a very Chinese name, said: "My family lived here a long time ago, went out from here, and now I can come back, play here, participate in the Olympic Games, this is a very honored family thing. It's really different from what I imagined when I was a kid, and I feel lucky. ”
By the end of the game, the team had left the stadium close to 0 o'clock, and a new day awaited these Chinese players to create new history. Yuan Junjie: "We feel very excited and excited, so you see that we worked very hard in the first quarter, and it was the first time we played such a high level of ice hockey at the Olympic Games, so we will get better and better, you will see the second game against Canada, the third game against Germany, we will improve a lot." ”

The Chinese nation is striving to realize the dream of great rejuvenation, and it is ready to welcome everyone who is willing to realize the dream together. In this world, there is not only one sound, and dreams do not have only one color.
