Wen | a century-old character turn
Editor| Centennial Character Turn
"The height difference is 30 centimeters, I also tried to stand up straight, we tried our best to be in the same frame. Although there are many difficulties caused by the height difference, we would like to say that as long as you love, you can overcome all difficulties and obstacles. ”
After Wang Shiyue was interviewed by the media, she couldn't help but joke when she looked at her partner Liu Xinyu in order to take care of her height.
The two people who consider each other and rush to each other can't help but be envious.
In fact, this is not the first time that the two have sprinkled sugar to interact.
Each time before the game, the two would hold hands, as if to hand themselves over to each other.
After each competition, Liu Xinyu would hug Wang Shiyue and send her safely out of the stadium.
Whenever they were glorified, the two embraced each other warmly and buried each other's difficulties in their hearts.
Every time she lost, Wang Shiyue always threw herself into Liu Xinyu's arms for comfort for the first time.
The affectionate gaze in front of the camera, and the playfulness inadvertently displayed...
Everything seems that the two are such a heavenly pair.
In fact, to trace the relationship between the two, we must start from a very young age, a simple sentence of "green plum bamboo horse" is completely insufficient to describe the feelings of the two people.
Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu are both natives of Changchun, Jilin Province, and were born in 1994.
Compared with Wang Shiyue, who is slightly older, she was born on April 21, while Liu Xinyu was born on October 16.
Although the two have many characteristics in common, the opportunities between the two are slightly different.
Wang Shiyue has loved skating since she was a child, and under her pleading, she finally persuaded her grandmother to send her to an amateur sports school, and first learned women's figure skating.
I don't know if it is because of the limited talent, although Wang Shiyue trains very weekdays, but it has not been effective for a long time.
In contrast, Liu Xinyu did not have so much drama, but simply followed the advice of his parents to come to the amateur sports school for training, and followed the arrangement of the coach to complete the training.
It seems that because of the lack of that spirit, Liu Xinyu did not achieve too good results during the time when he was studying men's figure skating training.
At this moment, a figure of great importance to the two appeared, Huang Guiyu, a well-known ice dance coach in Jilin Province.
After Huang Guiyu saw the training of Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, he found that although the results of the two were not ideal at present, they were indeed rare and malleable talents.
Huang Guiyu found the two and persuaded them to practice figure skating and ice dance.
Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu decided to try after their own consideration, plus the results of single skating were indeed not ideal.
So in 2005, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, who were only 11 years old, formally formed a partnership and began to learn training with Coach Huang Guiyu.
But before starting training, there is one primary problem that needs to be solved by two people.
Unlike single skating, ice dancing requires the tacit understanding and trust of two athletes, which is really not brought about by daily training.
In order to better carry out the training, the two began to eat and live together, go out together, and spend the rest of the day together except for sleep.
The two cried and laughed together, shared joy together, and comforted each other.
The effect of the training is not to be said, but the relationship between the two has quickly warmed up.
When he learned that Wang Shiyue's dream was to become an excellent athlete, Liu Xinyu began to correct his attitude and train seriously.
In order to keep up with Liu Xinyu's footsteps, Wang Shiyue is also more involved in training and making progress together.
Liu Xinyu calls Wang Shiyue a motor, which seems to imply that the other party is his own motivation.
In fact, Wang Shiyue also called Liu Xinyu the engine, firmly believing that the other party was each other's motivation.
Under this bondage, the two lived together and trained for 4 years.
Finally, in 2009, 15-year-old Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu began to participate in the national competition for the first time.
At that time, the two were still just rookies in the ice dance world, and not too many people were optimistic at all, especially the height difference between the two was too large, which was not conducive to cooperation between each other.
But the two were not discouraged by this, but encouraged each other to carry out more hard training.
When the two won the title of athlete at the same time in 2011, the names of Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu frequently appeared in major figure skating competitions across the country.
In 2014, the young duo won the National Figure Skating Grand Prix and the National Figure Skating Championship for the first time.
Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, who were added to the double champion, completely began the journey of dominating China's ice dance world.
However, figure skating is not the mainland's strength after all, although the two won awards at home, but the results in the world have not been ideal.
In 2017, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu participated in the Sapporo Asian Winter Games, and this time the two were very confident and vowed to win good results.
However, the accident happened.
On the first day of the game, Wang Shiyue was accidentally injured and almost unable to stand.
But she was stunned not to say a word, gritted her teeth and persevered.
As a partner who gets along day and night, Liu Xinyu naturally sees Wang Shiyue's strange appearance, but at the same time, he knows more about what Wang Shiyue has in mind, and can only complete the game as soon as possible.
Finally, with the end of the last action, Liu Xinyu carried Wang Shiyue away from the venue for the first time after thanking the audience.
At this time, Liu Xinyu found that Wang Shiyue's calf was already full of blood.
This frightened Liu Xinyu and the coaching team, and wang Shiyue was rushed to the hospital, and several stitches were stitched in a row.
Liu Xinyu looked at Wang Shiyue painfully and wanted to persuade her to give up, but she couldn't say the words to her mouth.
Wang Shiyue also seemed to sense her partner's concerns and gently held the other's hand with her hand.
Many words do not need to be said, and many years of tacit understanding have let each other know what the other person thinks.
Keep up the game!
This is Wang Shiyue's determination, she does not want to give up the two of them for many years of common efforts because of herself.
Win the championship!
This is Liu Xinyu's guarantee, he does not want his partner's sacrifice to eventually turn into an unapologetic regret.
In this way, the two returned to the field, and the whole game was smooth and smooth, without any flaws, and there was no sign of injury.
As the music fell and the last action was done, the two embraced each other and cried.
Wang Shiyue was aggrieved like a little girl in Liu Xinyu's arms.
And Liu Xinyu hugged Wang Shiyue, his eyes were full of pampering and heartache.
In the end, not surprisingly, the two won the championship with a total score of 164.28 points.
This is also the first time that the two have won medals in international competitions, especially in such an important competition gold medal, which is more memorable.
On the podium, Wang Shiyue kissed the medal in Liu Xinyu's arms.
And Liu Xinyu just wrapped Wang Shiyue tightly in his arms, full of expectations.
This year, the two won awards at home and abroad, and were highly expected by the industry.
This year, the two won a good result in the World Figure Skating Competition.
This year, the two won the qualification for China to participate in the ice dance program at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
This year is the 12th year of the duo.
Over the years, the two have trusted and relied on each other.
Later, once Wang Shiyue's idol celebrated his birthday, in order to celebrate the idol's birthday, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu met to change the background music of the competition to the idol's song.
This is also Liu Xinyu's dream of chasing stars for Wang Shiyue.
When there is nothing to do on weekdays, Wang Shiyue will travel and play together.
The two people walking on the street look as sweet as ordinary couples.
Fast forward to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, who went out again, helped the Chinese figure skating team team competition to achieve the sixth place.
Although this is already a pretty good result, neither Wang Shiyue nor Liu Xinyu is satisfied with this performance.
In particular, after the two won the 22nd place in the ice dance competition and missed the final, a wave of unwillingness rose in each other's hearts.
In order to complete each other's dreams, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu made up their minds to set sail again.
This time, the destination is Montreal, Canada, where you can learn the most advanced technologies and concepts in the world.
After saying goodbye to their families, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu embarked on a flight to Canada, which was two years, and did not return to China until 2020.
Wang Shiyue said that in the past two years, there have been too few competitions, resulting in some ambiguity about her positioning.
I don't know how strong the other combinations in the world are, nor is it clear at what level the strength of the two is now.
But when asked if they were confident about the Beijing Winter Olympics, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu looked at each other and smiled.
Both the technology and the concept have matured over the past two years, and the mentality and experience are even more different from those of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
Most importantly, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu are still together.
As long as the other party is still around, the two have the confidence to overcome all difficulties.
Undoubtedly, they did.
In the competition on February 4, 2022, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu won 74.66, the best results since the start of the new season.
This is also the best answer sheet they have given themselves.
Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu said in an interview that rhythm dance started late in China and did not have a more mature concept and response talent.
The two chose Elvis Presley's rock music as the background for this competition, and with the tense performance, it can more reflect the performance style of the two.
When the media asked the two about the high-profile "green mountains and green water" free skating clothes on the Internet, the two showed a confident expression.
This set of clothes adopts the design scheme of the national style, which contains elements of Chinese landscape painting, which is indeed incompatible with the style of today's competition.
But this is indeed intentional by the two men.
For Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, the results of ice dance are not so important for the two.
In contrast, the two want to show themselves to the world through ice dance and show the charm of classical Chinese aesthetics.
The two want to tell the world that China not only has excellent ice dancers, but also China's traditional culture can perfectly carry any competition.
Up to now, Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu are still fighting for each other's dreams and still sprinkling sugar on social media.
It has attracted countless fans to call "marry in situ".
However, in the face of this question, the answer of the two is to focus on career.
I hope that the two can complete the ideal and achieve higher glory.
