Recently, the news of Li Meng's departure from the national team immediately caused an uproar in the outside media, and there is no doubt about Li Meng's status in the Chinese women's basketball team, and people are very shocked by such news, what is the reason?
Requires both strength and morality? Are the standards for heroes too high?
The "Li Meng leaving the team" incident caused by netizens to reflect on such things, Li Meng is a hero, there is no need to deny this, but Li Meng also made mistakes, this point, we need to face it squarely!
In the past, we revered heroes, believing that heroes should be white and flawless, sacred, and there can be no stain on them.
Therefore, it creates a situation where any stain on their bodies cannot be accepted and understood by the public, thinking that they have a stain and are no longer worthy of being their heroes, so they think about how to push them off the altar.
However, everyone forgets that they are also human beings, and it is people who put the aura of heroes on them, which is a moral requirement forcibly attached to them. If they are really saints, they will naturally not make mistakes, but beyond that layer of aura, they are also people, or ordinary people.
Li Meng, as the pillar of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese women's basketball team, is an all-round player, as long as she is there, the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team will not change much, and she is indeed worthy of the best player in the game, just like the existence of Zhu Ting of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
It is precisely because she is too important, so her departure will attract a lot of attention, because her influence on the Chinese women's basketball team is too great, if she leaves, it directly triggers a chain reaction, the entire sports world has a strong shock, first of all, next year's upcoming Olympic Games, how should it be handled?
If Li Meng leaves, resulting in a sudden decline in the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team, it will take a period of retraining, and it is necessary to find a suitable candidate to replace Li Meng. China is not short of talents, but it also takes time to cultivate talents, and it is obviously impossible to cultivate a player with the same strength as Li Meng in a year.
Li Meng's strength is here, she can win glory for the country and strive for honor for the country, from this point of view, Li Meng at least loves the motherland very much, and in the face of the country's righteousness, nothing has changed.
It is true that Li Meng does have problems in terms of private morality, but is it too hasty to give up such an excellent women's basketball player just because of private morality.
It is also the issue that many people are concerned about now, is strength important, or is private morality more important? Different netizens maintain different opinions.
Some people think that the hero should not be put too much pressure, the aura of the hero is given by the people, not forcibly claimed by Li Meng, and now because of a certain stain, he must personally push it off the altar, which is too cruel for Li Meng.
However, some people believe that if strength is greater than everything, then the mainland will once again have the point of collapse and happiness in the Spring and Autumn Warring States, strength is important, but whether others personally send it up, or they take the initiative to do it, she is a hero, which is an unchangeable fact.
As a hero, he himself pins on the public's symbol of beauty and justice, in this case, Li Meng is really not allowed to make mistakes! If you make a mistake, you must be punished!
China just has no Li Meng for a while, not that there is no Li Meng all the time, and a loss in a competition is nothing, but if because of such a thing, athletes think that as long as they have strength, they can defy morality and rules, then it is a real disaster.
Does Li Meng feel regret that he interfered in other people's marriages and ended up like this?
I'm afraid that for Li Meng, she has never thought so much, let alone wanted to carry some of the so-called heroic auras in people's mouths, Li Meng is just Li Meng.
Things also need to start from the end of the Asian Cup in April this year, Li Meng led the Chinese team to win the championship, Li Meng's current husband Zhang Long's ex-wife Zhao Lei, publicly issued an article criticizing Li Meng for meddling in other people's marriages, and at the same time mainly criticized Zhang Long's delay in paying the child support fees promised, which made many people pay attention to the marriage between Li Meng and Zhang Long.
Judging from Zhang Lei's revelations, it is indeed Li Meng who intervened in the marriage between Zhang Long and Zhao Lei, after all, there may indeed be emotional discord between Zhang Long and Zhao Lei at that time, but after all, there has been no divorce, and in a legal sense, Li Meng's behavior is indeed incorrect.
Perhaps for Li Meng, he is just pursuing his own love, and has nothing to do with other people, if this is really the case, he can only determine that Li Meng is not rational enough in love, and has not considered at all, interfering in other people's marriages on the mainland, whether from a moral or legal point of view, is simply untenable.
After all, in the mainland, meddling in other people's marriages is indeed an incorrect thing, and if it is serious, it can be regarded as a crime! And it is precisely because Li Meng is a national-level athlete that he will be paid attention to, demanded, and even refuted, in the final analysis, because of the changes brought about by fame.
If you are just an ordinary person, then no one will care about your marriage at all, at most, it will be just two discussions with people in the same village.
Of course, this is not an isolated case, in the mainland, it is the epitome of many athletes.
I don't know when the mainland began to have extraordinary moral requirements for athletes and these public figures, always hoping that others would become saints and be admired, but ignoring that they themselves are people, and some netizens called these behaviors lenient and stricter than discipline.
I don't know if any friends have noticed that at the Tokyo Olympics, athletes from other countries won silver or bronze medals, and they were greeted by the people of the whole country cheering for them, which is the cheer that athletes should get, and this is the glory that athletes should get.
Whether the athletes have won medals and rankings, it is worth saying that those who can represent their country in the Olympic Games must be the result of careful selection, they are the elite of the elite, the best of the strong.
However, in the mainland, I don't know when it starts, athletes participating in the Olympic Games will be burdened with a layer of pressure, and this layer of pressure is from the expectations of the people of the whole country, I am afraid that the athletes are not clear, when such expectations, in the end, they are almost breathless.
Chinese athletes are under far greater pressure than athletes from other countries
Going to the Olympic Games, with the expectations of the people of the whole country, this is a very proud thing in itself, itself is a recognition of the strength of athletes, a symbol of status, even if they have not won awards, but athletes can be regarded as doing their best, can only say that their skills are inferior.
Athletes have brought their strength to the extreme, encountered more powerful opponents, and can only choose to break the sand, once mainland athletes won silver medals, but stood on the podium crying to the camera, sorry country, sorry people.
Isn't that worth pondering? Why can athletes from other countries, even if it is only a bronze medal, stand happily on the podium and enjoy the cheers brought by the people after winning medals and honors, while athletes from the mainland can fail as long as they do not win the gold medal, and even apologize to the people?
Such behavior, what needs to be reflected should not only be athletes, but also the national public itself, why do we have such high requirements for others?
Athletes who win silver medals may not be as good as others, just need to continue to bury their heads in hard training, they still have a chance, but when can the people self-reflect and improve their own literacy, even if the athletes unfortunately fail, we should give encouragement and support, not rebuke.
Even complaining about why the country chooses such athletes to play, what really shames the country is not the athletes, but the people's unimproved literacy, there are more places where the skills are not as good as people, and the athletes on the mainland are not all-round superhuman existences, how can they achieve the ultimate in every medal?
For example, the former Yang Qian, she won not only a gold medal, but also the first gold medal in the entire Tokyo Olympics! The meaning of this is naturally extraordinary, at that time, she enjoyed the admiration of the Chinese people, even if she was not outstanding in appearance, she would be praised by netizens as beautiful as a fairy.
But Yang Qian is a girl in her twenties, she is also a child who has not fully grown up, and can also have her own hobbies, just because she danced a West Coast dance, she was almost attacked by the Internet.
Coincidentally, diving champion Quan Red Cicada danced rabbit dance on Douyin, was refuted by netizens for not training well, and was not eligible to participate in the Olympics in the future, and now track and field athlete Wu Yanni, just because of a tattoo on her arm, she was almost raped online.
All this is not worth national reflection? Athletes are not gods, they are also people, they also have their own preferences, moreover, they have not broken the law, even the coaches and relevant national teams have not stopped their behavior, what right do other netizens have to accuse them?
Abandoning these halos, they are also a living person, no different from everyone's preferences, why do netizens think they can do things that they can do for a long time on these athletes? Why do some netizens always try to use their own world concept to rely on the right and wrong of others.
From these perspectives, the mainland's sports community also needs to reflect, not to mention anything else, if you really want to restrict the private morality of athletes, you can establish such a concept for them and cultivate such values, rather than necessarily waiting for the athlete himself to have a problem, and choose to expel him.
Second, athletes may have made mistakes now, but people are not sages, and Confucius once said that if you know your mistakes, you can improve greatly, and you can't erase the contributions that others have made to the motherland because of a momentary mistake, so it is obviously inappropriate.
At the same time, I also hope that all netizens will show mercy and do not cause too much pressure on athletes.
