In the women's 1000m final of speed skating on the 17th, Kim Kyung-joo and Huang Yuting appeared in the ninth group of the same group. Kim Kyung-joo skated 1:16.90 in the race and ranked 22nd. Huang Yuting finished 24th with a time of 1:17.35. After the game, the two smiled and held hands and greeted each other.
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics held at the "Bird's Nest" National Stadium on the evening of February 4 stunned the world, and many people were deeply impressed by the scene of the "little pigeons left behind" being pulled back to the team in the "Shining Snowflakes" program. Netizens were moved, and they saw a layer of "metaphor" from it. Some netizens said, "The child who got lost will definitely come back"; "All the pigeons look to the southeast, waiting for the pigeons that fell behind to return". Some netizens also said, "Come back early, it is Taiwan", "A pigeon can not be less." ”

The scene of Jin Jingzhu and Huang Yuting holding hands after the game reminded netizens of the picture of "looking for the little pigeon that fell behind" in the program, and posted relevant pictures on Weibo, with the text: "Homecoming".
Seeing this picture, some Weibo netizens left a message saying, "This picture is very warm!" "This picture is so warm!" The meaning is so good! Go home! ”
Some netizens said, "1450 (referring to the Green Camp Network Army) glass heart is about to fill the ground again." ”
At a time when the DPP authorities are constantly stirring up the feelings of the people on both sides of the strait, many netizens are warmed by the valuable scene of friendly exchanges between athletes on both sides of the strait in the photo.
Zhang Mengchong, spokesman for Taiwan's China Reunification Promotion Party, also said in a video recently that he was very excited to see photos of mainland athletes and Taiwan athletes holding hands. He believed that for Huang Yuting, who had recently been frantically attacked by pro-green and green camp people on the island, her heart must be warm at this moment. He also believed that Taiwan will certainly return to the embrace of the motherland, which is the common aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the strait.
However, some people on the island have bullied Huang Yuting because she once wore the Chinese national team uniform donated by mainland players for training, and today (19th), the DPP authorities also threatened.
Taiwan media reported that Luo Bingcheng, spokesman for Taiwan's "Executive Yuan," declared that "Chief Executive Yuan" Su Zhenchang believed that Huang Yuting's behavior was "extremely improper" and had asked the "Ministry of Education" and the "Sports Department" to investigate Huang Yuting's "inappropriate words and deeds" and make appropriate points. Taiwan's "Presidential Office" also claimed to support the "Executive Yuan" in taking necessary investigations, reviews, and punishments.
However, some netizens on the island believe that the DPP authorities' move "hits a small bird with a cannon and targets its own people"; "takes great pains to deal with a sports player"; and "political pursuit and killing".
It is worth mentioning that on the evening of the 17th, after ending all the schedules of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Huang Yuting posted on social media to thank supporters, and at the same time said that "open haters, acid people, haters messages", and choked with Internet rioters. According to the Taiwan media "Zhongshi News Network" reported on the 18th, Huang Yuting will fly directly to Salt Lake City in the United States to carry out the next stage of training, and will not return to Taiwan for the time being.
