One is 14 years old and one is 15 years old. A poor family from rural Guangdong province initially wanted to dive into the water because they didn't want to study and earn money to treat their mother's illness.
A gymnastics family from Shanghai, the initial wish of diving is that they are thin and weak, to strengthen their physique, to enhance their physique, so as to switch from the initial study of gymnastics to the study of diving.
Because of the common dream of diving, from the countryside of Guangdong, The 14-year-old girl Quan Hongchan and the 15-year-old girl Chen Taoxi from Shanghai met and met at the 10-meter jumping platform of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Since then, the two flower girls who are still ignorant have started their brilliant journey in their lives with dreams and beliefs and full of enthusiasm in the 10-meter diving platform of the Tokyo Olympic Games diving project.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi grew up in different families, lived in different environments, and had different initial ambitions and pursuits.
However, in the end, for a common goal and dream, they carried the earthy fragrance of the southern countryside and the modern and colorful atmosphere of the metropolis, respectively, out of the Chinese homeland, to a foreign country, on the Olympic diving 10-meter platform, to show their flower season years and diving talents.
The young Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi, accompanied by anticipation and longing, tenacious and hard work, blended their dreamy youth with the 10-meter platform.
As a result, the two brilliant lives met here, and they became famous in one fell swoop. On the 10-meter jumping platform, each turned glory and glory into the coordinates of life, thus starting their own beautiful life journey.
August 5th, an ordinary and glorious day. On this day, in the final of the women's 10-meter platform diving at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 14-year-old Quan Hongchan won the 33rd gold medal of the Olympic Games with a Chinese sports delegation of 466.20 points.
In the final, Quan Hongchan jumped out of full marks three times, and was famous in the world for a while, becoming a dazzling new star in the brilliant stars of the Chinese diving team.
On July 27, just before the 10-meter platform competition, Chen Taoxi and Zhang Jiaqi, a 17-year-old girl from Beijing, partnered to win the women's double 10-meter platform championship. Both added another gold medal to the Chinese sports delegation.
Chen Taoxi, who was still immersed in the glory of the gold medal, had not yet eased up. A week later, she went on to form a "double insurance" with teammate Quan Hongchan in the women's 10m platform final on August 5, winning the first and second place for the Chinese team, winning a silver medal with 425.40 points again and adding another silver to the medal table of the Chinese sports delegation.
One gold and one silver two medals in hand, while ensuring that the champion and runner-up of this project are won by the Chinese team, but also casting the brilliant dreams of quan hong chan and Chen Taoxi.
Looking at the two dazzling medals in his hand, one gold and one silver, 15-year-old Chen Taoxi was relieved. The two medals in his hand fulfilled Chen Taoxi's vow to "repay his parents with excellent results" and serve the country.
It was before the competition, to thank my parents for their support and care for themselves over the years.
One day, Chen Yaoxi suddenly plucked up enough courage to say a sentence that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years: Thank you very much to my parents for supporting me and caring for me for many years. In the future, I will repay you with excellent results and do my best to repay the motherland!
The women's 10m platform event is the traditional strength of the Chinese diving team. When Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi both won the Olympic gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics and became the youngest Olympic champion, the reputation of the talented girl became synonymous with them for a while. They soon became the goddesses of maidens in the minds of many.
At the age of 14, Quan Hongchan jumped to fame and became an idol chased by many people for a while.
Because of her filial piety of making money to treat her mother's illness, many people have touched her, and she has quickly become an inspirational girl used by thousands of parents to educate her children, and also became a well-known filial piety and well-behaved girl.
And Chen Taoxi, who is also an Olympic champion from Shanghai, seems to have less influence in the national public than Quan Hongchan.
In the metropolis of Shanghai, Chen Taoxi is another world-class diving champion with a certain reputation in Shanghai after Wu Minxia and Huo Liang.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, both of whom are similar in age and have different encounters, but both have climbed the podium of the Olympic champions with their own efforts and hard work.
Unlike the story of Quan Hongchan's inspirational counterattack, Chen Yaoxi was born in a gymnastics family. His grandfather was a famous gymnast in Shanghai, his father was a senior coach of gymnastics, and his mother was an associate professor at the School of Physical Education.
On the living environment and family conditions, Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi cannot be compared, nor are they on a starting line.
But because of their shared ambitions, they both shined at the same time on the Olympic field and stood on the same podium at the same time.
Based on this, the diving careers of the two are on the same running line.
In China, most of the little girls who are only fourteen or fifteen years old are still living in ignorance.
At home, many people are still under the careful protection of their parents and other elders, enjoying the juvenile time of opening their mouths and stretching out their clothes.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, on the other hand, prematurely appreciated hardships and hardships, and at a young age, they knew how to feel their parents and shouldered the responsibility of winning glory for the country and the nation.
Chen Taoxi was first taken by her parents to practice gymnastics because she was not in good health, and she hoped that gymnastics could become a good medicine that could make her strong.
At the same time, it is also the inheritance of the gymnastics family. My parents hope that in Chen Taoxi's life, they can see the continuation of the gymnastics family's career.
However, Chen Yaoxi eventually chose to dive and embarked on a career path different from that of his grandparents and parents.
Although her parents did not agree at first, due to Chen Taoxi's persistence and persistence, her parents respected Chen Taoxi's choice and fully supported her to show her talents and dreams on the ten-meter high platform.
Before practicing gymnastics, Chen Taoxi's family lived in Shanghai's Xinjiangwan City and lived a stable and comfortable life.
After Chen Taoxi fell in love with diving, in order to let her train diving in the Shanghai Swimming Hall with peace of mind and reduce the time and fatigue of running back and forth from home to the swimming gym, her parents changed houses and moved to the nearest place to live in the training gym.
The understanding and support of her parents gave Chen Taoxi infinite motivation and became a "booster" and power source for her hard training.
Although she is a young age, in her young soul, she knows the difficulty of her parents, and at the same time, she has sprouted a grateful heart for her parents in her heart: we must train hard, repay our parents with excellent results, and be grateful to our parents.
Quan Hongchan's filial piety and gratitude to her parents is to earn money to treat her mother's illness; Chen Taoxi's filial piety and gratitude to her parents is to repay her parents with excellent results. Although the pursuits of the two are not the same, the goal is the same, both because of love and filial piety.
Year after year, spring to winter, the two young girls are persevering, working hard and struggling in hardship and fighting.
Many people already know quan hongchan's struggle process, and Chen Taoxi's struggle experience is unheard of by many people.
It was the middle of winter. One day, Chen Taoshi caught a cold and fever during training. Due to the cold weather, she told her parents that she did not want to train, at which time the coach told her: Tomorrow Wu Minxia's sister and Huoliang's brother are going to come to our diving team, do you want to come?
When Chen Taoxi heard it, she was originally cold and feverish, and she came again and immediately became excited.
As a Chinese female diver, Wu Minxia was selected for the national diving team at the age of 13. He has 25 years of diving training experience and 18 years of national diving team career.
Wu Minxia has participated in the three major diving competitions in the Olympic Games, the World Cup and the World Championships for 20 consecutive times, and has won 20 world-class gold medals and 32 medals. Until decommissioning in December 2016.
Similarly, as a Chinese male diver, Huo Liang won the men's double ten-meter platform championship at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Won several gold medals at the National Diving Championships.
Wu Minxia and Huo Liang are both idols worshipped by Chen Taoxi. Hearing that Wu Minxia and Huo Liang were going to learn to dive in the swimming training gym by themselves, Chen Taoxi, who was originally having a cold and fever and was also tired, immediately told the coach: I want to go!
Since then, Chen Yaoxi has always taken Wu Minxia and Huo Liang as an example, insisted on hard training, and constantly fought tenaciously.
Some people say that as an athlete, the moment you come down from the podium, you are no longer a champion, and you have to fight again, to fight. This is a very philosophical statement.
Whether standing at the intersection of life opportunities or standing on the countertop of the 10-meter jumping platform, Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi are still just teenagers. There are still many questions they need to think about.
They are still young, and the world is still very colorful and brilliant for them.
Their life path is still very long. It will also continue to shine and shine on the long road of life.
Whether it is Quan Hongchan or Chen Yaoxi, for them, this summer's Trip to the Tokyo Olympics is a crossroads, a start, and a challenge at the same time.
Life has lit a green light for Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, but where to go, where to go, the continued glory and glory are in their hands.
Some people say that a gold medal can illuminate reality and bring a better life to the family; a champion can prove reality, firm up for his original choice, stimulate the greatest potential in his heart, and thus fight for his ideals and beliefs. Thinking about it carefully, this passage should have spoken to their hearts.
However, the reality shows them not necessarily flowers and applause, but more is still hard, hard and needs constant struggle and struggle.
Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi have played perfectly, reflecting the absolute strength and level of our Chinese diving.
With such leading figures as Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi taking the lead, everyone will continue to pass on this fighting spirit.
During the Olympic Games, after watching the competition between Quan Hongchan and Chen Taoxi, some people had a thousand emotions and sincerely expressed their expectations in their hearts.
The above remarks and this expectation should also be the ardent hopes and sustenance of many people for the two "genius girls".
I sincerely hope that Quan Hongchan and Chen Yaoxi will be able to attack and sprint towards more, better and higher sports goals in the future diving career, and win more honors for the country and the nation.
