On May 6, Gu Ailing, who went to the United States to win the award, attended a dinner hosted by the non-profit organization Apex For Youth in New York, during which the Chinese skier received the "Next Gen Award", which is the first time that the organization has been established for 30 years.
The non-profit organization Apex For Youth said that Gu Ailing is an extraordinary girl, and he is also the only freestyle skier who has won three medals at the same Winter Olympics, and the youngest freeski Olympic gold medalist in history. At the same time, Apex For Youth also said that Gu Ailing is now a free ski ambassador in the United States, China and around the world, and it is very meaningful for Gu Ailing to inspire young people, especially girls, to build self-confidence and break their boundaries and live a happier and healthier life through sports.
Gu Ailing received the award at the scene, she was very elegant in a silver dress, and at the same time, Gu Ailing gave a speech on the spot, and the emotional intelligence was still very high. Gu Ailing said that she is only 18 years old, has not yet gone to college, and does not know what she will do in the future, but one thing that is clear at the moment is that she hopes to convey through a stage like the Olympic Games that young girls can do whatever they want: "All women from Asia, we are well educated, here, proud of their identity, speaking up for themselves, are also given the right to do." 」 ”
After that, Gu Ailing said that he would often hear the voices of those who let themselves not give up and insist on it, and the voices of the people around them were very important. Especially for Asians, sometimes they can't find their own sense of belonging, and they often hear some voices that don't understand, saying that they are American or Chinese, which will make them better appreciate the differences and diversity, the differences from friends in different places. Finally, Gu Ailing thanked the organizers for the dinner hosted by the non-profit organization Apex For Youth.
Obviously, at the dinner hosted by the non-profit organization Apex For Youth this time, Gu Ailing's speech emotional intelligence is still very high, thanks to the organizers, but also for the voice of Asian women, and expressed that Asians have the same rights, which has always been Gu Ailing's efforts to do things.
At the same time, Gu Ailing also talked about the controversy in the outside world, for example, he took the initiative to talk about the remarks of Chinese or Americans, which is why Gu Ailing rarely talks about such a topic in public. It can be seen that Gu Ailing does not contradict at all, on the contrary, she has her own point of view, and the attention of the outside world has always been something that she does not understand, but it will also make her better reflect, while appreciating more differences, diversity and differentiation, which is also very important.
I have to say that such Gu Ailing is the real idol, she not only performed well in her own field, but also used her influence outside the field to speak for Asians, full of positive energy, and associated with Gu Ailing is only 18 years old, her future is still very likely.
