Editor's Note The highlights of athletes on the field are inseparable from the guidance of parents off the field. With understanding, support and introspection, they continue to give children the motivation to move forward.
However, not only the Winter Olympic champions, but every child needs this motivation: child, if you reach the top, I rejoice for you; if not, I am proud of your efforts. 9 champions' letters, read the tears: parents, always be the one who unconditionally supports their children.
Cai Xuetong's mother never dared to watch her daughter's game.
She clearly remembers that the only time she watched Cai Xuetong's game was in the company of her sister, and she was fully prepared, telling herself that she must not run away from the TV this time.
But when Cai Xuetong walked up to the starting platform and stepped on the snowboard, Cai's mother still did not look over her face and chose not to watch that scene.
"You don't know, it's too torturous. If you were to do this sport, you would certainly not dare to look at it! "Cai's mother is talking about Cai Xuetong's snowboarding U-shaped pool that she has been engaged in for more than ten years.
In Vancouver, Cai Xuetong debuted at the Olympics as one of the youngest athletes on the ski team; in Sochi, she won the sixth place; in Pyeongchang, the most promising year, Cai Xuetong returned because of injury and illness; 4 years and 4 years, in Beijing, Cai Xuetong still did not get the podium because of a small flaw.
Cai's mother said that Tong Tong has been training outside for many years and she is very worried. Once Cai Xuetong flew to the United States, because of the jet lag, he could not answer his own phone in time, he has always been worried, and when Cai Xuetong answered the phone, he seemed to become a wronged little girl, Cai Xuetong could only comfort himself all the time.

Also worried is Ren Ziwei's mother.
Ren's mother is a teacher, who has been calm and restrained when talking about Ren Ziwei, objectively analyzing Ren Ziwei's current position and the team has given great help.
But when we asked if there was anything in my heart that parents wanted to express to their children, Ren's mother suddenly couldn't help but start to cry, she said: "Every Spring Festival, I want to have children the most, but I can't show them in front of my relatives. ”
The last time Ren Ziwei went home for the New Year, it was more than ten years ago.
Ren Ziwei's mother's family letter
Not only Ren Ziwei, almost all winter athletes can't go home for the New Year all year round, because the Spring Festival is the season of various ice and snow events, and athletes are either training outside or competing. Only in April and May can there be about 20 days of vacation, athletes can go home and stay.
In the past ten years, Wu Dajing has not been able to reunite with his family every Spring Festival. The mother said that sometimes when she sees her son, she even feels a little strange.
"Usually I send him WeChat, if he returns, it proves that he has time, and if he doesn't return, it proves that he is busy." The first few days I sent him a message at 7 o'clock, and he replied at 9 o'clock: Mom, I haven't finished training yet. ”
In her mind, her son will always be a child. At this Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing's mother did not know that her son was going to participate in several projects, and her biggest hope was that her son would be safe and secure.
Wu Dajing's mother told the story of a bowl of sweet and sour poached eggs, Wu Dajing was very busy when he was a child, Wu Dajing would have just gone to elementary school, and he couldn't bear to see his mother so hard and had no food to eat, so he ran back to his grandmother's house and cooked a sweet and sour poached egg to send to his mother.
"I was very touched, and I cried at the time."

Xu Mengtao's father also cried.
The owner of the legendary best barbecue restaurant in Anshan, when talking about Xu Mengtao, can clearly remember the specific time of all her important life nodes - what year, month and day she went to the sports school; which year and month and day changed coaches; what year and month and day she switched from gymnastics to skiing... Xu's father remembers it all.
In the heart of Xu's father, he has always been indebted to his daughter, because he has a dream of a champion, he has trained Xu Mengtao to take the road of professional sports since he was a child, until Xu Mengtao was selected by the provincial team, and he left his parents at a young age. Xu's father found that in the limited time his daughter spent with him every year, he could feel that she had grown up every time.
"Someone else's child is still lying in the arms of her parents, and she has to go around alone." "Absent from the child's growth, I don't know how she grew up."
When talking about this, Xu Mengtao's father sat alone in the car, a middle-aged man, choking and saying: "Don't hide from you, I have been wiping my tears." ”

Xu Mengtao and the father of his disciple Kong Fanyu also talked to us, and Kong's father is still working from nine to five, saying that his daughter has an unconcealable pride on her face.
Unlike other parents, Kong Fanyu and his parents had exchanged letters very early. Kong's father said that Xiao Yu went to the provincial team for training at a very young age, and there was no mobile phone at that time, and he had to go to the phone booth on the side of the road to insert cards every week.
Beyond that, it's about writing letters. Kong's father found the first letter that Kong Fanyu sent to his family and said that he wanted to read it to us, and as a result, he began to have a sour nose when he read it, and while using the unique "Oh I go" of the northeast people to hide his feelings that were about to pour out, he said: "My daughter was determined to be a champion at that time, which she wrote herself." ”

Sui Wenjing's father choked up when talking about his daughter's injury, he said that in 2016, Xiao Sui signed a surgical consent form alone, and later when he was treated, because he could not use anesthesia, Xiao Sui cried because of pain. In addition, because of ligament injuries, Sui Wenjing herself was also confused about whether she could continue to take the road of figure skating.
Sui's father said: "At that time, my heart was really hurting. "As long as she can get up and walk, I'll be satisfied."

On the day Gao Tingyu won the championship, Gao's father's WeChat avatar, which he had not changed for a long time, was replaced by a photo of his son.
The night before, he and Gao Tingyu's grandparents witnessed the moment when Gao Tingyu won the championship at home, and Gao Haiji jumped up excitedly at the moment of hitting the line.
Although his son has not accompanied himself in the New Year for more than ten years, gao dad feels that it is worth it at that moment, and his son's years of hard work have been rewarded, and his future life seems to have a new sustenance.
He said he was waiting for his son to come back and have a drink with him.
Perhaps the most distinctive of all the parents is Su Yiming's mother, who is proud or proud when she talks about Su Yiming!
She said that as long as she had the opportunity, she would say "I love you" to Su Yiming every day, and the two would hug every day as long as they were together. Su's mother is a person who really understands her children, Xiao Su loves to play, and she fully supports the child's love.
In her letter to Xiao Su, she wrote: "You rely on the sea and believe in the mountains. "The one you should be most thankful for is yourself." We may have found out where Su Yiming's calm and determined strength on the field came from.
Having such a mother is Su Yiming's luck, and it is even more fortunate that China's ice and snow are lucky.
