"Actually, I don't want to speak English, because I want to speak Chinese..."
In an interview with reporters, Zhu Yi destroyed all doubts with a Chinese that was not fluent.
Zhu Yi knew that she Chinese speak badly, but she just wanted to say that it was because Chinese was her native language.
In fact, from the moment Zhu Yi decided to return to China, the United States obstructed in every way, and was even willing to pay millions of annual salaries to retain it.
But there was still no determination to stop Zhu Yi from returning to China.
In the face of the American media, Zhu Yi responded domineeringly: I am Chinese, I only fight for China.
In 2002, Zhu Yi was born in Los Angeles, USA, and his father was Professor Zhu Songchun, an internationally renowned mathematician and artificial intelligence expert.
Her mother's name is Cui Jie, and since she had Zhu Yi, she has been at ease taking care of her children at home.
The father Zhu Songchun named his daughter Zhu Yi, which is the "Yi" of "Zhou Yi", a word that represents impermanent changes and infinite possibilities.
Zhu Songchun fixed her life earlier than she hoped that her daughter would find herself in life.
In fact, the education of Zhu Yi is indeed the same.
When he was a child, his parents did not interfere more with Zhu Yi, as long as it was not a matter of principle, basically Zhu Yi could do whatever he wanted.
Time passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yi had reached the age of seven.
On this day, my mother's friend came to the house as a guest, followed by a little girl who was about the same age as Zhu Yi.
This girl is Zhu Yi's hair is small, and the two are considered to be playing together to adulthood.
But later, because of the small hair to learn to skate, the two gradually saw each other less.
Fa Xiao told Zhu Yi that he felt very relaxed on the skating rink and shared a lot of skating routines.
This made the young Zhu Yi gradually have some yearning.
After the Fa Xiao family left, Zhu Yi told his parents that he also wanted to learn to skate.
Parents know that Zhu Yi at this time does not necessarily love skating, may just want to be a companion with friends.
Perhaps in ordinary families, they will not agree to the child's casual request.
But Zhu Songchun was different, he didn't think that if the child wanted to try, he shouldn't stop it, and nodded his head in agreement.
Soon the young Zhu Yi was sent to the skating training ground.
Even her mother, Cui Jie, got rid of one of the best local coaches to train Zhu Yi.
In this way, Zhu Yi began his skating career in a confused way.
When he was favored by the coach, he turned to practicing figure skating.
Not to mention, Zhu Yi's talent in figure skating is indeed unparalleled.
By 2018, zhu Yi, who was only 16 years old, had mastered all the three-week jumping movements and was able to use them skillfully in the competition.
In the American Figure Skating Championships, Zhu Yi won the championship with a crushing posture, widening the gap with more than 35 points from the second place.
At this time, the whole United States was shocked, and it is foreseeable that if it is properly cultivated, Zhu Yi will be a good seedling competing for the Olympic championship in time.
At this time, Chen Lu, known as the "butterfly on ice", found Zhu Yi.
At this time, Chen Lu had transformed into a coach and launched a talent training program called the "Morning Road Plan".
The program includes five well-known foreign teachers, as well as well-known sparring partners, and the establishment of three training bases in China and the United States.
In Chen Lu's plan, if excellent talents are found, they will be sent to the United States to learn international advanced skating technology, and when they have the opportunity to participate in competitions in China, in order to maintain their competitive status.
In the first list, there was Zhu Yi's name.
After Zhu Yi was invited, he himself fell into contemplation and did not answer directly.
According to her heart, she definitely wanted to participate.
With Chinese blood flowing through his body, Zhu Yi recognized himself more in his heart as a Chinese and hoped to be close to China.
In addition, this plan can indeed improve your skating skills.
The only concern now is whether parents accept their choice.
With all kinds of doubts, Zhu Yi returned home, she wanted to find out with her parents, but she didn't know how to start.
Looking at her worried look, her father Zhu Songchun naturally saw it.
However, Zhu Songchun did not ask directly, but quietly came to her daughter's side and told her daughter that no matter what decision she made, her parents would support her behind her.
Seemingly encouraged by his father's words, Zhu Yi told the whole story.
Unexpectedly, her father was very supportive of her decision.
Zhu Songchun told his daughter that he did not watch many events, and chen Lu was one of the players he liked.
Zhu Yi was able to train under the idol, which was naturally the most satisfying thing.
After receiving his father's support, Zhu Yi was more relieved and immediately contacted head coach Chen Lu.
When he arrived at the training site, Zhu Yi found that the first team members were only six people, and the women's single skater was only herself.
At this time, Zhu Yi can be described as a little green in the kaleidoscope of flowers, and he should become the darling of the training base.
Every time her mother, Cui Jie, went to visit Zhu Yi at the training base, she found that her daughter's hands were full of gifts.
There are snacks, there are dolls, and there are all kinds of souvenirs with Chinese characteristics.
Sometimes Cui Jie would deliberately quip: "Who gave all this?" ”
Whenever this happens, Zhu Yi will always be shy to answer the send from his teammates.
Watching her daughter get along so kindly with her teammates, her originally somewhat dangling heart can finally be put down.
After training in this environment for about a year, the team members also began to return to China to participate in the competition.
Naturally, this includes Zhu Yi.
When he first stepped into the land of the motherland, Zhu Yi could not express the kindness and joy in his heart.
Even though she was still unfamiliar with everything in her motherland, she decided in her heart that this was her root.
This is also the first time that Zhu Yi has the emotion of wanting to return to China.
It is not a simple return to the competition, but to return to the embrace of the motherland and participate in the competition on behalf of China as a Chinese.
After returning home, Zhu Yi immediately informed his parents of the idea of returning to Chinese nationality.
Parents agree with this with both hands.
In particular, his father, Zhu Songchun, was born in Hubei, China, since childhood, and now he is homesick in the United States for such a long time.
The reason why I still stay in the United States is because my family is here.
If the daughter Zhu Yi can smoothly return to Chinese nationality, the family can return to China for reunion.
However, when it was learned by the United States at this time, it immediately caused an uproar.
What kind of joke, skating well, can you go back to your country so easily?
Immediately sent someone to Zhu Yi's home to dissuade him.
The United States Xiaozhi was emotionally reasonable, and even offered a million annual salary to keep Zhu Yi.
But Zhu Yi is iron-hearted, and she says that she is Chinese and wants to fight for China.
Seeing that this way did not work, the US side began to threaten Zhu Yi and threaten her family.
But threats are the most useless way for Chinese.
Zhu Songchun resolutely stood behind his daughter and silently defended her daughter.
Finally, with the joint efforts of his father Zhu Songchun and coach Chen Lu, Zhu Yi finally returned to Chinese nationality in 2019.
It was also in November of that year that Zhu Yi made his debut for the Chinese team at the World Figure Skating Grand Prix.
Unlike Zhu Yi, who acted relaxed in front of the camera, coach Chen Luyin was a little worried.
During the previous training, Zhu Yi accidentally fractured his right foot, and is still in the recovery stage and has not fully recovered.
This matter is not very clear to the outside world, but Chen Lu, as Coach Zhu Yi, is very clear.
Chen Lu meant, don't give up this competition, there are still many opportunities in the future.
But Zhu Yi firmly disagreed.
She told the coach that this was the first game to represent the motherland after she returned to Chinese nationality, and she did not want to disappoint her support, but also wanted to bring glory back to the motherland.
This time, we must go all out to say anything.
In the end, Chen Lu could only agree to Zhu Yi's request.
In this game, Zhu Yiqiang endured the pain and completed one action after another, elegant and full of tension.
However, the accident happened.
When Zhu Yi tried a three-and-a-half-week move, a tingle came from his right foot as soon as he landed.
Under the pain, the whole body tilted, and for a time did not control the balance and fell to the ground.
The scene was in an uproar, and at this time, everyone did not know that Zhu Yi had already been injured.
Fortunately, Zhu Yi quickly stood up again and continued to finish the game.
In the end, because of this fatal mistake, Zhu Yi could only regret to get the 22nd place result.
After the game, Zhu Yi looked a little frustrated, and she felt that she had not been able to win a gold medal for her country.
But in reality, she's already doing a good job.
The original intention of sports competitions is not to prove who is better than whom on the field, but to constantly challenge and constantly exceed human limits.
Zhu Yi took the injury to the battle, and the whole result was already worthy of himself.
But this incident buried a mustard in Zhu Yi's heart, and she began to train frantically, wanting to prove herself in a wider range of events.
In 2020, Zhu Yi's father, Zhu Songchun, also returned to China smoothly.
He also serves as a chair professor at Tsinghua University and Peking University, two of the highest universities in China.
The family was successfully reunited in China and hoped to contribute to the construction of the Chinese motherland in different fields.
Zhu Yi broke through himself in one fall after another, successfully won the domestic championship, and won a position in the national figure skating team.
But Zhu Yi is still not reconciled, she has repeatedly revealed in front of the media that the biggest ideal is to represent the Chinese team to win a gold medal in the world.
In reality, however, gold medals are not that important.
Figure skating started late in China, has not won several medals in the history of the team, and is now in a low period.
Sometimes it's not that the audience can't accept failure, but that it's that it's because of pride and indulgence.
It's like a feathered string, falling down again and again for unprecedented difficulty, even if it misses the "triple crown" that is within reach, it still does not stop people's love.
Rise again and again in failure, climb up again and again, and achieve better results.
That's what the Olympics are all about.
Finally, I wish Zhu Yi can get the desired results.
