Sister CheyangShi also said on social media: "Ten years have passed, and I have welcomed my Olympic champion in this way, and I am happy and sad after learning the news." Happy that I can be the champion in my heart, happy that I can have an Olympic gold medal, although many things have passed and will not have, but I have the medal to prove myself. The sad thing is that I have not felt the appearance of a champion, I have not won the aura of an Olympic champion, although the aura is temporary, but the aura of that moment I want to have, I did not get the self-value that I may be able to get, but the past has passed, and I am still trying to get it. Now ten years have passed, to the age of everything is looked down upon, tomorrow will still be a "new beginning, the beginning of zero", thank you for your support and blessings for me for so many years, I wish you and I are healthy, peaceful and happy.
