"What kind of team can keep up with the mainland's endorsement itinerary, training rhythm and help me get a full score in Stanford, please recommend it as soon as possible!"
At the end of 2022, Gu Ailing posted the annual summary and let herself be scolded again, and she made the above rhetorical questions in the face of abuse.
She won 2 golds and 1 silver at the 2022 Winter Olympics and was known as a "talented girl", and in 2023 she seems to be "falling" from the altar.
Rationally speaking, whether she was "pushed onto the altar" or scolded again and again to the point where she is now teetering on the altar, she has proved with practical actions that her "core" has never changed.
In 2003, she was born in California, USA, and her mother Gu Yan is a professional elite.
In 2006, at the age of three, she fell in love with skiing under the influence of her mother's skiing hobby.
In her later words in an interview, when children her age were still crying in anger, she had already practiced on the slope on skis and fell again and again.
Serious and hard enough to get her good results in skiing.
In 2011, at the age of 8, she passed the tryouts and officially became a member of the North-South League ski team, and began professional and systematic skiing training.
At that time, she was not only the youngest on the team, but also the only girl on the team.
In 2012, at the age of 9, she was already strong in skiing and began to represent the North-South League ski team, appearing on the scene of various American junior championships.
In 2017, she won 50 gold medals, but she was only 14 years old.
With outstanding results, she successfully gained the attention of the Chinese national ski team and sent representatives to the United States to watch her competition.
After watching her excellent results on the field many times, the national team began to invite her to represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics.
The problem was that although she intended to change her nationality back to Chinese nationality at that time, she did not obtain approval from the relevant US authorities.
Changing her nationality could not be achieved, but she still resisted the huge pressure exerted by the United States and represented China as a Chinese athlete, and only then had the moment when she was pushed to the altar by the Chinese people.
In February 2022, the 24th Winter Olympics was grandly held in Beijing, and Gu Ailing won the mainland in international skiing for the first time with two gold medals and one silver medal, and became the youngest freeskier in the world record.
World War I became famous, and her name quickly swept the country.
After becoming famous, she, like most of the "teenage heroes" who came out of nowhere, had many experiences unearthed.
At that time, it was discovered that she not only achieved excellent results in skiing, but also excelled academically, but also a well-known model in the circle, and even had many advertising endorsements.
During that time, she became a student bully and a talented girl in the eyes of a large number of netizens in the mainland.
Before she became famous, few people in China paid attention to her, and after she won the championship on behalf of China, it was not only her profession but also her private life that was thrust into the spotlight.
From a wave of praise to being scolded again and again, perhaps the original sin lies in her "Chinese and beautiful" nationality.
In April 2022, after the end of the Winter Olympics, she became the target of public criticism after she posted a copy and picture of "Thank you China".
Because after the competition, she returned to Stanford University in the United States to continue her studies.
Originally, the release of the news was not only to record his own life, but also to say goodbye to fans, but unexpectedly, it became a reason to be attacked by the group.
A large number of netizens questioned why she, as a Chinese, said "China" instead of "motherland" when she posted her article.
Because in the eyes of some netizens, her expression is undoubtedly revealing that China is a place to "be a guest", and the United States is her home.
Under the excessive interpretation of some netizens, she was labeled as "admiring foreign countries" and "unpatriotic".
In the face of questioning and even abusive remarks, she did not respond, but left for the United States on time to study according to her schedule.
After that, she posted a set of photos on her way to the United States, but once again she was deeply caught in the vortex of public opinion.
Because netizens guessed through the pictures she posted that she was on a private plane, they began to make a big splash in the comment section under her news, saying that as soon as she set foot on the journey to the United States, she exposed her "capitalist face".
The comment area exploded in a short period of time, divided into two groups of opposing people, one supporting her to continue to do her own thing, and the other was insulting.
Since then, it seems that every time she posts a news, she will become the target of questioning and abuse from some netizens, and the comment section is full of unsightly comments, and it has become more and more exaggerated.
She shared that she became the image ambassador of the US Olympic bid, and was scolded as a "traitor" by some domestic netizens.
When she shared her boyfriend, some netizens dug up that her boyfriend was white, and scolded her for thinking that white people were superior, and even called her "black slavery" of herself.
When she shared that she became the annual summary of her efforts and achieved fruitful results, she once again faced face-splitting abuse.
Her sharing was not only labeled as "showing off", but also ridiculed as "not worth showing off", especially for the full score of her Stanford freshman year, many netizens launched a long denial.
To say that her full score in Stanford is not as good as the 300 points in science in the domestic college entrance examination, and it is even more amazing to say that Stanford University can enter and graduate casually if you have money.
Some netizens also said that her ability to get good results is inseparable from the operation of her elite mother and the entire team.
In response to doubts and yin and yang strange arguments, she asked what team could keep up with her schedule and training rhythm while helping her score full marks academically, and said that if such a team existed, please recommend it as soon as possible.
At the same time, she also said in her response that less than 5% of students can get full marks at Stanford University, which is not at all as easy as some people say, and ask some people not to talk nonsense about things they don't know.
In addition to sharing her life dynamics and being questioned and abused, she also causes heated discussions when relevant news reports about her.
For example, after she won the Winter Olympics and became the face of the U.S. bid, her endorsement fee rose from $1.5 million to about $2.5 million today.
There are also conservative estimates that her worth is about 275 million yuan.
When seeing her high value, a large number of netizens couldn't sit still, commenting that she was "returning to China to make money", "making money at home and spending abroad", etc.
Seeing her being scolded again and again, many people expressed regret, and even felt that 2023 would be the time for her to "fall" from the altar.
Some people also said that "falling" the altar is not necessarily a bad thing for her, because those who are pushed to the altar by the public are almost unable to end well, because no one is perfect.
Coming down from the altar, she can avoid being morally whipped by netizens at every turn, and maybe she will be able to bloom better.
No matter how bad the comments about her from the outside world are, her "core" has always been stable and has been working hard in her own way.
Just like after she was scolded by domestic netizens for "get out of China", when she was asked by the host in an interview, she did not hesitate to say: I never regret representing China in the war!
When she was interviewed after successfully becoming the image of the United States bidding for the Olympic Games, her status as an ambassador could not only represent the United States bid for the Olympic Games, but also prove the influence of the Chinese to the world, and the Chinese can also become the representative of the United States with enough strength.
She has her pride and her humility, and when she was called a "genius girl" in an interview, she said that her skiing talent is no better than ordinary people, and her success rate is even less than 0.1%.
And it takes a lot of effort to get good results, and I started skiing at the age of 3 and gradually got stronger day after day.
Freestyle skiing is not only difficult, but also dangerous, and injuries are always inevitable.
During the training, how many specific fractures she made, even she herself could not count.
One of her worst injuries was a concussion caused by hitting her head, and she also caused temporary amnesia, forgetting many of the movements of freeskiing.
During that time, her family was very worried that the game would not be able to recuperate for a long time, and she could only train with an injury.
It was his love of skiing and the support of his family that made him not give up skiing.
Her family's support for her has always been not only in words, but also in deeds.
Her mother, Gu Yan, is very supportive of her daughter's dreams, and in addition to training with her, she will also help her plan her career path.
As a career elite of a technology company, Gu Yan acted as a nanny to accompany and take care of her daughter in order to participate in and support her daughter's Winter Olympics in China.
In terms of raising children, Gu Yan is largely influenced by her mother, that is, Gu Ailing's grandmother.
Her grandmother, Feng Guozhen, is an authentic "Beijing girl" who graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Feng Guozhen is not only the first batch of "railway people" in China, but also worked hard all his life in the China Transport Bureau and reached the position of senior engineer.
And Feng Guozhen's cultivation of Gu Yan is also dedicated.
After graduating from Peking University, Gu Yan went to the United States to study and received an MBA degree from Stanford University, becoming a professional elite.
To sum up, the joint efforts of three generations have led to the "genius girl" Gu Ailing seen by the Chinese people.
With the material foundation and knowledge accumulated by her grandmother and mother, she has the opportunity to receive a better education and see the wider world.
And standing on the shoulders of her elders and growing up, she has also worked hard enough to achieve her current excellence.
The reason why the word "excellence" was used against her was because she once again performed miracles with her strength.
On May 8, 2023, the official website of the Laureus Sports Awards announced the list of "Best Extreme Athletes" in 2023, and there were only 6 global winners, and Gu Ailing was prominently listed.
She became the first skier in the world to win the "Lawrence Award".
Judging from the news released on Lawrence's official website, she will become a "Chinese athlete".
With this, she once again let the world see the strength of Chinese.
Time also used "talented girl" to evaluate her and put her name on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Ski experts say that it is difficult for athletes to surpass themselves in their own sports fields, but Gu Ailing is obviously an accident!
According to overseas network reports, she introduced herself with Chinese at the Lawrence Awards ceremony.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, when asked whether to "renew the Chinese ski team", she said that Milan is her goal, but there are nearly 1,000 days before the Milan Winter Olympics, and now making a decision seems a little far away, and what she needs to do now is to better achieve the goals set daily, weekly and monthly.

She also jokes that she is a "time management guru", advertising endorsements, ski training, Stanford studies, etc. require effort and concentration, and she is often so busy that she has to write homework on the plane.

But in the end, she said that she loves this life and rhythm, and will continue to share her life and experience with young people, encouraging more young people to find their own life goals, because doing so is also enriching and exciting their lives, and recently Gu Ailing and her boyfriend intimate photos have also been exposed.
She is busy wondering her life, many people are busy commenting on her life, we face up to the right of the public to speak and the power of public opinion, but sometimes we also have to comment objectively and rationally, not bragging and not rushing to make conclusions.
