Reminiscing about the past
Time flies, and when Zhu Yi looks back on the life path she has walked, her heart is full of vicissitudes and emotion. As a talented figure skater, her life has been full of ups and downs.
Zhu Yi's father, Zhu Songchun, is a distinguished scholar with profound achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. As a young man, Zhu Songchun went to the United States to study for a doctorate, but encountered many obstacles and was unable to complete his studies before returning to his home country.
Because homesickness is like a rolling torrent, Zhu Songchun's attachment to the motherland lingers in his heart all the time. He often taught the young Zhu Yi earnestly: "We are all Chinese and should always be faithful to our motherland."
Zhu Songchun's words, full of family and country feelings, were deeply imprinted in Zhu Yi's young heart. Although he was born and raised in a foreign country, Zhu Yi has endless yearning and longing for the strange and mysterious land of the motherland.
Under the influence and encouragement of his father, Zhu Yi developed a strong interest in figure skating. At a young age, she made a firm wish: through unremitting efforts and excellent training, she would one day be able to set foot on the land of her motherland and win the glory of the ice for this beloved country.
As the years passed, this wish took root in Zhu Yi's heart and became more and more determined and persistent. She aspires to one day compete for the glory of her country as an athlete.
Looking back, Zhu Yi's eyes moistened, and she couldn't help rubbing her cheeks. Yes, in order to achieve this ideal, she has gone through too many ups and downs, and has gone through a long road full of thorns.
Exhilaration, hesitation
In 2018, Zhu Yi achieved remarkable results at the National Figure Skating Championships and won the national championship in one fell swoop!
When she learned that China would host the 2022 Winter Olympics, Zhu Yi's inner desire was ignited by the burning fire of her dreams, and she wanted to return to her homeland and sing loudly on the ice rink for her motherland.
However, Zhu Yi's wish was repeatedly blocked by the US government. They scoffed at Zhu Yi and gave Zhu Yi a heavy blow and threat: "If you return to China, all the honors and American citizenship you have won in the United States will cease to exist and will disappear."
Faced with such a predicament, Zhu Yi's heart fell into an unprecedented contradictory struggle. She understands that it is her lifelong wish to serve her country, but it is very difficult to give up all the achievements she has achieved for years in the United States.
On the one hand, her love for her homeland is deep-rooted; On the other hand, it is painful to give up everything that has been acquired in the United States. Zhu Yi was in a dilemma and had a hard choice.
Finally, under the encouragement of his family and his father's teachings, Zhu Yi bravely took a decisive step forward.
Although the road ahead was difficult and difficult, Zhu Yi resolutely embarked on the road back to China and began a magnificent journey.
The way home
Under the obstruction of the Washington government, Zhu Yi finally overcame many obstacles and returned to his homeland. The Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee took the initiative to invite her to become China's first naturalized athlete for the Winter Olympics, and Zhu Yi was deeply proud and proud, and quickly went through the Chinese nationality procedures and officially became a Chinese citizen.
"I'm back, I'm finally back home!" During the interview, Zhu Yi burst into tears, and he couldn't calm down his excitement for a long time. Being able to return to her beloved motherland, her century-old dream has finally come true.
Under the leadership of Coach Chen Lu, the leader of the national ice project, Zhu Yi quickly devoted himself to intense and hard training. However, she faced difficulties from the start.
The long long-haul flight caused a severe jet lag reaction, and Zhu Yi suffered from insomnia, anxiety, and a very poor mental state. As a naturalized athlete, she also had to adapt to a new training environment and routine, which she had never experienced before.
What's even more tricky is that in an ordinary training, Zhu Yi accidentally fell and injured himself, and the skate blade of his left foot was deeply pierced into the instep of his right foot, and the injury was shocking. After evaluation by the on-site doctors, it was determined that she would not be able to train and compete normally in the short term, which was tantamount to a slap in the face for the preparation for the Winter Olympics.
The sudden onset of injuries caused Zhu Yi to fall into a long recovery period. The hard work of the previous months was in vain, and all her hard work was wiped out, and her fitness took a heavy hit.
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow Zhu Yi has suffered since returning to China.
After four months, Zhu Yi finally returned to the ice rink. But what awaits her is a special training that is as hard as starting all over again. In the face of many difficulties, Zhu Yi never gave up, she understood that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders and must go all out to complete it.
Selection process
Just as the National Championship was approaching, fate once again played a joke on Zhu Yi. Due to the doctor's negligence during the previous operation, Zhu Yi's wound actually became infected again and worsened.
Despite the sharp pain in his body, Zhu Yi gritted his teeth and persevered. With her excellent skills, she finally won 146. 07's excellent record, all the way through the field, and finally won the fourth place! The audience all applauded Zhu Yi's tenacious struggle.
In the next few years, Zhu Yi won a series of competitions at home and abroad, which can be described as fruitful. However, the long and arduous journey between the hospital and the training facility caused the signs of her injured right foot to gradually appear, and gradually became her new heart disease.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is coming. This time, Zhu Yi has undoubtedly become the focus of attention. But at the same time, she's under intense pressure – China's figure skating event has only one quota place for the women's singles, which means she, Chen Hongyi and Lin Shan will have to go through a desperate battle.
In the end, with her outstanding strength, Zhu Yi passed all the way, defeated her opponent with an absolute advantage, and won the crown of the selection competition! As the strongest player, she won a precious opportunity to win glory for the motherland.
But just after the joy, Zhu Yi didn't expect that a bloody cyber violence was coming at her. Countless doubts and abuses rained down on her.
The dawn of a comeback
Just when the online violence was in full swing, some kind voices began to sound, seeking a chance for Zhu Yi to turn over.
First of all, Zhu Yi's teammates have stood up and vigorously maintained and supported her extraordinary strength. They did not hesitate to publicly share video footage of Zhu Yi's daily training, those wonderful and difficult movements, expensive athletic talent and solid basic skills, all of which showed her almost fanatical love and persistent pursuit of figure skating.
Subsequently, Zhu Yi's family couldn't stand it either. They dug out the video of Zhu Yi's competition that led countless people in the selection competition from the bottom of the box, and the steady, calm, and comfortable state perfectly interpreted what a "master move" is.
When the camera zooms in, you can clearly see Zhu Yi wearing an ice-blue sportssuit, spinning and jumping vigorously on the ice rink, as if an elegant butterfly wing is dancing.
In addition, Zhu Yi's mother opened the treasure chest and unreservedly disclosed the silhouettes of all the wonderful moments of her daughter from childhood to adulthood, including many precious behind-the-scenes footage.
This is undoubtedly the most powerful response and ridicule to those who wantonly slander.
Most importantly, Professor Rao Yi, the former director of the Faculty of Science of Peking University, also publicly stood up and gave an authoritative explanation of Zhu Yi's family background and upbringing. He generously stated: "It is precisely because Zhu Yi took the initiative to return to China that we invited her father, Mr. Zhu Songchun, to teach at the school.
It turned out that Zhu Yi's father's joining was not directly related to his daughter's naturalization.
Corroborated by various evidences, the truth of the incident was finally revealed to the world. People of insight have overturned the case for Zhu Yi and turned the tide. And Zhu Yi himself, through a public interview, with the help of fluent Chinese, restored the truth to the world.
It is clear from the video that she has a calm expression and loudly refutes those who fabricate rumors.
The exposure of the incident made netizens who were once in a commotion fall into self-blame and reflection. The previous wanton abuse came to life like a nightmare, and they finally realized the horror of venting their words.
