Today, the Chinese men's ice team is about to usher in the knockout round, and we will face the fierce opponent Canada again. In the group stage we lost 0:5, so this match was a battle of honour. Chinese male ice captain Ye Jinguang also said on social media that we still have a chance.
Bearded, full of stubble, but a pair of eyes revealed the look of a yellow descendant. He is Ye Jinguang, the Chinese male ice captain.
"I'm very proud to play for China at the Olympics and make people proud of China. We are trying to fight for our passion. ”
In this Winter Olympics, the Chinese men's and women's ice hockey teams have a group of naturalized players. A large part of them has Chinese ancestry, a Chinese face. Ye Jinguang, the captain of the Chinese men's national hockey team, has played in the NHL League as a professional player for five seasons, completed 174 games, scored 56 points, and became the best Chinese male player in the history of professional hockey in the world.
More than a hundred years ago, Ye Jinguang's great-grandfather was sold from Guangdong to North America to participate in the Construction of the Pacific Railway. The Ye family has never forgotten their motherland, and Ye Jinguang's parents have also gone to Guangdong to find their roots. Therefore, the choice to return to China and represent China stems from the inheritance of the family. Before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ye Jinguang introduced on social media that in 150 years, my ancestors were exiled to North America. But China has always been in the Ye family's tradition. When I was 18 years old, my friend joked that you would play in China in the future, but I didn't expect this to become a reality. I read a lot of Marbury's stories, and I hope that I can help Chinese ice hockey in the Olympic Games.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, although the Chinese men's ice led by Ye Jinguang lost three games, the three games were fierce, the boy was bloody, and two precious goals became the beginning of a new history of Chinese men's ice.
And when the scene of the game, those childish voices came from the stands, people shouted to cheer for them, Ye Jinguang said, "Playing here is really unbelievable, the people here give us a very warm feeling, which is very touching to me." Bringing Chinese ice hockey to the Olympic stage, I am very happy to be a part of it, nothing is impossible.
In the Chinese men's and women's ice hockey teams, everyone has different backgrounds, but they wear the same shirt and fight for China, Ye Jinguang said, I believe that many years later, I will still remember that I once fought for the five-star red flag on my chest on the ice. And Ye Jinguang hopes that through his own efforts, he can let the ice hockey sport develop here, "China as a big country, ice hockey is not very popular, I am very happy to be able to help the popular development of ice hockey here." ”
Subsequently, Ye Jinguang hoped, "If a Chinese athlete stands on the highest stage of ice hockey after 20 years, and people ask him why he practices ice hockey, he will answer 'In 2022, I watched the Chinese team's game', that is the success of our generation of Chinese men's ice." ”
