As we gathered around the TV to cheer on the nation's athletes, it seemed like everyone was looking forward to a golden moment.
Well, the gold medal is indeed shiny, but have you ever wondered what is the cultural importance and pressure behind this gold medal?
First of all, this gold medal is not only a piece of metal, but also an affirmation of a country's excellent performance.
In China, the gold medal culture is like an invisible director, silently dominating our emotions and expectations.
Athletes not only have to face opponents on the field, but also the pressure of expectation from tens of millions of spectators.
Like a star standing in the light, the light behind the gold medal makes it difficult to look at it directly.
But can you imagine how tired it must be for athletes to live under such expectations and pressures every day, and how do they find their place and maintain their mentality in this gold medal culture environment?
The story of Zhu Jianhua and Li Ning is a vivid example.
Zhu Jianhua was a star in the high jump world at that time, but at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, when he failed to win the gold medal, the public opinion on the Internet was as violent as a storm, and he was directly blown to the ground.
Li Ning is the same, although he has made a lot of achievements in the gymnastics world, but after a mistake, the whole society is like a screw out of control, and he is ruthlessly accused.
Such pressure can be described as "earth-shattering".
However, the athletes are not crushed by this pressure, they face and deal with it in their own way, and find their own rhythm in life.
Speaking of Zhu Jianhua and Li Ning, I really want to laugh, the life trajectories of these two eldest brothers are really different.
First of all, let's talk about Zhu Jianhua.
Zhu Jianhua was a star in the high jump world, do you know? At that time, he was very prosperous in the arena, and he simply jumped higher than an eagle.
However, at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, when he saw the medal that was not gold, he probably felt like he had been splashed with cold water.
This kind of loss can really be described as "miserable".
Do you still remember the public opinion on the Internet at that time? It was like a pack of hungry wolves, biting Zhu Jianhua in all directions, and it was really endless.
His mistake was like giving these people a chance to watch a good show, and as a result, they began to make a lot of nonsense, criticizing his every move and every choice.
Under this pressure, what did Zhu Jianhua choose? You may not know, he chose to end his career in this way.
Like a tired warrior, he did not choose to fight again, but chose to quit and find his own new path in life.
Speaking of which, Zhu Jianhua's story is really distressing.
He worked so hard and worked so hard, but because of a momentary mistake, he was forgotten by people.
However, his choice also shows us that athletes sometimes need to have their own choices and persistence in the face of great pressure.
Speaking of the Qingming Festival, I have to tell you first that this is a big event in Liangguang! This is not only a festival to commemorate the ancestors, but also a day that condenses the profound feelings of the people of Liangguang.
If you think about it, those bustling cities, those busy people, will return to their hometowns for this festival, worship their ancestors, and miss the past.
The Qingming Festival in Liangguang is simply a large family gathering.
People will prepare a variety of foods in advance, such as sticky rice, fragrant glutinous chicken, etc., and then sit together as a family, share the food, and reminisce about the past.
Can you imagine that kind of scene? Sitting together as a family, with the clouds in the sky and the birds singing in the trees, it's a really beautiful feeling.
And when it comes to Li Ning, you may think that he is a sports hero, the kind of big man who stands in the spotlight.
But you know what? On the day of the Qingming Festival, he became an ordinary person, just like all the people of Liangguang.
He would prepare the offerings in advance, and then take an ordinary car and quietly go up the mountain to worship his ancestors.
You see, that's the power of hometown, making people who seem different to be just like us on this day.
This kind of change, in fact, also allows us to see the other side of Li Ning.
He is not only the hero who stands on the gymnastic field, but also a person with deep hometown feelings.
His affection for his hometown is no less than his love for gymnastics.
This also reminds us that no matter where we go, no matter how successful we are, the feelings of hometown will always be the warmest existence in our hearts.
Do you know that Li Ning's feelings for his hometown are like a classic old song, echoing in his heart.
Whenever he mentions his hometown, his eyes soften, as if he is reminiscing about those good times.
Li Ning often talks about his days in his hometown of Nansi.
He would describe the landscapes, his childhood playmates, and his childhood.
It's like an old man reminiscing about his past youth, and his tone is full of nostalgia and warmth.
And for his hometown, Li Ning is not just satisfied with nostalgia.
He decided to use his own strength to give back to this land.
I heard that he plans to invest in the construction of some sports facilities in his hometown to provide better sports conditions for local children.
This is really an admirable decision, and it also shows his responsibility and commitment to his hometown.
In the future, Li Ning has more plans.
He wants to build a sports center in his hometown, not only to give children a place to exercise, but also to cultivate more sports talents and make the sports industry in his hometown more prosperous.
It sounds like this plan is really exciting, as if you see a new hope and future.
Moreover, he is not only contributing to sports, but also plans to invest in various fields such as education and culture, hoping to bring more development opportunities to his hometown.
I have mixed feelings, both a deep emotional acknowledgment of Chinese culture and society's emphasis on success and gold medals, and a deep sympathy for the enormous pressure that this emphasis places on athletes.
Although the two athletes, Zhu Jianhua and Li Ning, have faced various pressures and challenges in different times and environments, they have both shown admirable tenacity and courage.
Especially Li Ning, his low-key behavior of going home to worship his ancestors really makes people feel his deep affection for his hometown and respect for tradition.
Such an expression of emotion makes people have a deep respect and love for him.
The pursuit of gold medals and success is important, but the real value lies not only in these superficial accolades.
More importantly, personal growth, affection for hometown, and respect for traditional culture.
These are the key factors that make up a person's true worth.
Therefore, let us not forget our original intention, cherish every experience in growing up, deeply feel the feelings of our hometown, and respect and inherit our traditional culture.
Because these are the most valuable treasures in our life's journey.
