Welcome to pay attention to the WeChat public account "Midnight Summer Song"
Recently, the Winter Olympics are in full swing, and Gu Ailing, who is more concerned about, won the gold medal in the freestyle ski women's big jump final, which has aroused a wave of public opinion, and even some people have begun to compare her achievements with some veteran table tennis players.
Its popularity has also once climbed to the national level, and even the uncle and aunt downstairs in my community have this topic when they gossip, saying that this Ni is really energetic.
And the public opinion on the Internet is even more one-sided touting - how can there be such a perfect person in the world?
This familiar argument can't help but be frightening.
Yes, Gu Ailing has indeed made achievements that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and does not mention the parts that Gu Ailing cannot interfere with, such as good family and good looks, just say that the results are good, admitted to Stanford University in advance, and won the Olympic championship at the age of 18, the three views are still correct, this is simply scratching the tip of the hearts of various media, and can't help but start singing praises.
But this hymn is really alarming. Why, this is another god-making movement.
Everyone touted her together and sent her to the altar, while the media and various marketing numbers ate a wave. The next step is to wait for her to have a slight stain, such as improper speech, loss of the game, etc., and then it will be a more violent attack, pulling her off the altar and even devaluing her worthless.
Isn't that a fixed routine?
Far from it, just talk about Liu Xiang, which is the Asian trapeze in the minds of many people.
But as a result, so many victories and honors, so many glory for the motherland, just because of the two Olympic games in Beijing and London, they were criticized, accused, and even insulted. From the well-known "Asian Flyer" to the "Liu Run", for a time the public opinion flew all over the sky, and finally the Asian Flyer retired lonely.
And Gu Ailing, too, has come to such a level, the whole people are enthusiastic, and the support of public opinion for her is the same as that of the summer's all-red Chan.
What athletes are most afraid of is not that they cannot win the championship, but that they cannot continue their brilliant records after winning the championship, and what they are most afraid of is that their careers will begin to decline because of injuries and other reasons.
Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.
For Gu Ailing, he is both a famous general and a beauty.
In the god-making movement, the enthusiasm of ignorance raised her high on the altar, after which she could no longer be a "human", and people would always demand her to the standard of "god".
And what kind of feats "God" did seems to be understandable. But "God" cannot fail, cannot disappoint people's expectations.
Water can carry boats and can also cover boats, and it is also appropriate to use them here.
And Gu Ailing has more "black" points than the "god" Quan Hong Chan in the summer.
For example, nationality, although she has already joined the Chinese nationality on June 6, 2019, there are still many malicious comments, saying that "we collectively cheer for a person trained by an American elite education, it is stupid!" ”
He completely ignored the fact that Gu Ailing's mother was Chinese and grew up in China.
When Gu Ailing's competitive level declines and can no longer satisfy the appetite of some unscrupulous media and marketing numbers, such attacks are estimated to be magnified by more than ten times.
We often say that sports have no borders and are not political. But in fact, no sport has nothing to do with national borders. The most famous and well-known table tennis diplomacy is that sports have broken the ice, which has promoted the normal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, which is certainly a positive example. But the us-led boycott of the Winter Olympics was a typical negative case, and of course they eventually participated in the event.
Focusing on a particular athlete, the question of nationality is enough to be an important reason for him to be brought down. In particular, Gu Ailing grew up in the United States and did receive an elite education in the United States. No matter how she argues herself, she is Chinese, rooted in China, this fact cannot be hidden, and it provides a powerful weapon for those who blacken her.
Now that the confrontation between China and the United States is escalating, Gu Ailing has become the most conspicuous target sandwiched in the middle.
The Media in the United States evaluates her as a "traitor", and what is touted domestically will also involve her naturalization of wisdom, and it seems that her competitive level and her athletic talent can only be used as a scrap.
And sports can never exist alone, and its relationship with politics and people's hearts and minds can never be separated.
In addition, her endorsements are also vulnerable to blackening.
According to reports, Gu Ailing now has 22 brand endorsements, and in the past year alone, Gu Ailing's endorsement revenue may reach 40 million US dollars, which is converted into more than 200 million yuan.
That's not counting the surge in the success of the Winter Olympics. It's no surprise that her endorsement fee has now risen to multiply by ten.
And the subsequent invitations to various variety shows or some programs are bound to come in droves.
Many people in the athletes to achieve results in the few days still have a very stable mentality, cheer for it, cheer for it, but after winning the championship, endorsements gradually increased, and after the various appearances gradually increased, many people began to be unbalanced, and the attitude will also have a big turn of one hundred and eighty degrees.
They think that athletes cannot be entertained, except for the game, they should be obscure, dedicated to training, and win glory for the country.
For example, the gymnastics women's balance beam champion Guan Chenchen, because of a dancing video, was inexplicably sprayed by the keyboard man for half a day!
At that time, the Tokyo Olympics had only been a month old, and everyone's gold medals had not yet been hot, and they had already begun to spray. However, the little girl was not used to it, and the backhand was scared back.
This is also the psychological performance of many people, athletes should train well, and any entertainment should not appear in the athlete's schedule. As for the smell of copper, it should not be contaminated.
But don't forget that athletes are also people, not that they really become gods, they also need normal people's entertainment and leisure, and making money is even more deserved.
Back to reality, an athlete's career is bound to be a step towards the beginning – the pinnacle – of decline, and no one can escape the ravages of time. Therefore, the competitive level of athletes must also follow such a path.
For some high-intensity sports, the career of athletes is generally very short, and for skiers, it is generally around 30 years old, that is, for most athletes, there is only a short professional life span of more than ten years.
After that, he will choose to retire because of the decline in competitive level, occupational injuries and so on.
Therefore, there is no problem in planning for the future early, whether it is to take the endorsement route to save a sum of money, or to participate in various programs to enter the entertainment circle, this is a normal choice, beyond reproach.
At this point, I also remembered that when the Tokyo Olympics, the masses obviously did not pay so much attention to the gold medal, and we became more casual and more tolerant. We do not criticize the losers too much, and we still give flowers and applause to the victorious ones.
This shows that in fact, we have been improving, and we no longer need an Olympic gold medal to prove ourselves.
Remember the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when the pursuit of medals was really a peak moment, and if an athlete with high hopes lost, public opinion could crush him.
I also hope that we can make further progress and really enjoy the excitement and joy brought by sports, and the factors outside the field should not be involved in the sports arena.
We should also be more considerate of athletes, we should give applause and flowers for victory, and we should also give understanding and encouragement for failure.
Don't let the tragedy of Li Ning and Liu Xiang happen again.
