Liu Shaoang, whose father is from Tianjin and whose mother is a Hungarian, won the gold medal in short track speed skating in the 500 meters at the Beijing Winter Olympics on behalf of Hungary.
When asked if you are Chinese or Hungarian, he said: "Since I came into this world, I have felt hungarian. He also said that he was photographed in China, and half of the Chinese came to support him, as if he had a sense of superiority.
Gu Ailing, whose mother is from Beijing and whose father is an American, won "2 gold and 1 silver" on behalf of the Chinese team at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
When asked by foreign media whether she was Chinese or American, she said: "I am very grateful to the United States and the American team, because they have always been very supportive of me." At the same time, I am also very grateful to China and the Chinese team, because I have received a lot of support and help here. I think sports can unite everyone, sports do not need to be related to nationality, all of us are here in the hope that we can continue to expand the limits of human beings. ”
"I spend almost 30 percent of my time in China every year, you see, my Chinese is also very slippery, my mother is from Beijing, my grandmother is also in Beijing. In fact, I can see my home in Beijing at the top of the big jumping platform. I especially like Chinese food, I like the dishes made by my grandmother, and I like the Chinese food in the Winter Olympic Village. I'm very comfortable when I'm in the U.S. and China. I think that sport must be used to unite human beings, not to divide us. ”
"I'm just an 18-year-old girl and I just want to enjoy my life. If someone doesn't believe that my starting point is this, then it only means that they don't have the same personal feelings, because our world is different. If someone doesn't believe or like me because of that, then it's their loss. ”
In fact, for mixed-race children, the identity problem will always exist, saying that either country will offend the other country, especially in sports that represent the country, and it is two countries that are fiercely competing internationally.
The reason why everyone does not pay much attention to Liu Shaoang's remarks is that on the one hand, the Chinese short track speed skating team is originally very strong, whether he joins or not, the Chinese people do not care much; on the other hand, Hungary has no sense of existence in China, everyone does not pay much attention, they treat him as a general overseas Chinese, nothing more.
What do you think of the identity of mixed race children? Whose answer do you agree with more, Liu Shaoang or Gu Ailing?
