At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, many Chinese athletes won gold medals, the most famous of which were Hungary's short track speed skating men's 500m champion Liu Shaoang and figure skating men's free skating champion Chen Wei.
Liu Shaoang's father is a native of Tianjin and is currently a Hungarian citizen, and Liu Shaoang claims to be from the northeast because he and his brother have been training in the northeast since he was a child. Moreover, because of their Chinese ancestry and frequent returns to China, the brothers often said that they Chinese loved Beijing, and after returning to Hungary, they also let their parents wear gold medals and share the joy of the Beijing Winter Olympics with them.
Although Chen Wei is an American, his father, Chen Zhidong, was born in Binbin and Fengshan, Guangxi, and studied in the United States in 1988 as a medical doctor; his mother Wang He was born in Beijing and worked as a translator in a hospital. However, because Chen Wei's parents have long gone to the United States to develop, there is little Education for Chen Wei's Han culture, so Chen Wei will not actively embrace the motherland like Gu Ailing, let alone express his feelings for China like Liu Shaoang.
After returning to the United States, Chen Wei participated in the recording of local programs with her mother, Chen Wei said: "Winning the championship in my mother's hometown of Beijing is a very special journey for me." Chen Wei only said that Beijing is his mother's hometown, not his grandmother's family, although he thanked his mother that "without her support, I would not be able to have today", but it can also be seen that his Beijing mother in her growth path is more to help him develop his career, rather than help him learn Han culture, which is a great regret.
Even if Chen Wei won the Beijing Winter Olympics, the domestic media and netizens have instead supported Yusheng, who is willing to miss the medal for art, in addition to the latter's popularity is too high, but also because Chen Wei and domestic audiences lack a positive interaction, both sides lack a sense of mutual identity.
However, after Chen Wei won the championship, he was also questioned by the local media in the United States, who believed that the number of Asian players in the American figure skating industry was too high, and the prejudice suffered by guan Yingshan, a famous Chinese figure skater in the United States, still existed in Chen Wei's generation. Perhaps, Chen Wei should look back at the footprints of his ancestors in order to let him find a clearer self-positioning.
