In this Beijing Winter Olympics, we can see the ice and snow players from all over the world, who have given us wonderful performances on the field, and some athletes with relatively special identities have appeared in the field of the Winter Olympic Games.
They are said to be special because although they look like this person, they are not Chinese nationality, but Chinese identity.
Among them, The American figure skater Chen Wei is one of them.
Chen Wei was born in the United States, can be said to be a native American, although with a Chinese identity, but the education received from childhood is the education of the United States, and Gu Ailing, Gu Ailing will follow her mother back to China every year to receive the baptism of Chinese culture, and Chen Wei is completely different.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chen Wei won the figure skating men's singles championship for the American team.
However, after winning the championship, Chen Wei was not affirmed by the Americans, but the New York Times published an article clearly stating that the proportion of Asians in the American figure skating group was "significantly excessive" and "over-represented by the Americans", which caused great concern, and many people believed that it was discriminating against Chen Wei.
What is embarrassing is that not only are Americans not very interested in Chen Wei's victory, but we Chinese netizens are also not interested in Chen Wei, after all, Chen Wei has received an American education since childhood, and although she has a Chinese identity, it does not have much to do with china.
Chen Wei's encounter is also reminiscent of another Chinese athlete, and it is also not recognized.
He is the table tennis player Zhang Benzhihe.
Zhang Benzhihe is a table tennis player that everyone is familiar with, his parents are former Chinese table tennis players, his mother is even Deng Yaping's teammate, and he once participated in the team world table tennis championships with Deng Yaping!
Born in Japan, Zhang Benzhihe became a Japanese citizen at a very young age, and at the age of 13, he reached the men's singles quarterfinals of the World Table Tennis Championships.
Zhang Benzhihe won the MEN's singles championship of the ITTF year-end finals at the age of 15, and is the youngest finals winner in the history of table tennis.
But Zhang Benzhihe faced the same embarrassing situation, the Japanese are not willing to admit that Zhang Benzhihe is Japanese, although Zhang Benzhihe once defeated Ma Long in the World Cup and won the runner-up of the World Cup for them, but the Japanese fans did not appreciate it, and they were harsh on Zhang Benzhihe, zhang Benzhihe and himself were also sad to reveal: Only when he won the gold medal will Japan recognize him as Japanese.
Chinese fans are also very disgusted with Zhang Benzhihe, and even some fans think that Zhang Benzhihe betrayed China and is Hanjian and the like.
In this regard, Zhang Benzhihe is also very helpless.
In fact, for these athletes who are fighting overseas, they are also very difficult, as long as they do not do things that insult China and have not said unfavorable words to China, we can appropriately tolerate this.
Of course, I also hope that no matter what kind of achievements they achieve, they will not forget that their roots are in China!
