The much-watched men's singles event at the Winter Olympics is over, and Yusuke Yusuke failed to create a miracle of winning the championship three times in a row, because of the mistakes in the game, his score was not ideal, and he only finished fourth. The first place was american figure skater Chen Wei, who is an Asian face, but grew up in the United States since childhood, and this competition is also representing the United States. Although Chen Wei won the championship, the United States did not buy it and still discriminated against his identity, which made Chen Wei's situation very embarrassing.
Chen Wei won the men's singles event with a super high score, but netizens did not care about his performance, but paid more attention to Yusheng's every move. After Chen Wei won the gold medal, the US media posted that there are too many Asian faces in the US figure skating team now, and they believe that asian faces should not be allowed to represent the United States. These remarks are unfriendly to Chen Wei and a disguised discrimination against his identity, but the United States is very happy to count his gold medal in the medal table.
An athlete whose growth trajectory is very similar to Chen Wei's growth trajectory is Gu Ailing, who was already famous long before participating in the Winter Olympics, and she has achieved very good performances in major ski competitions abroad, and has also won the title of "Talented Ski Girl". Gu Ailing is also from the United States, her father is American, her mother is Chinese. But Gu Ailing chose to change her nationality to China when she was 18 years old, and represented the Chinese team in skiing, and her current popularity is not exaggerated.
The attention of Chen Wei and Gu Ailing is simply a world apart, gu Ailing's commercial value has caught up with superstars, I don't know if Chen Wei regrets the path he chose. If Chen Wei chooses to become a naturalized athlete and represent China in the Winter Olympics, I believe he will also become an idol for the whole people.
