Chen Yuxi's acceptance speech caused controversy: expressing it in English was criticized by netizens

On March 4, 2024, on the field of the Montreal Diving World Cup, Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan's performance is undoubtedly a bright star. Chen Yuxi won the championship with a high score of 425.35 points, and Quan Hongchan followed by a slight margin, this contest is undoubtedly a visual feast. However, at the award ceremony after the game, Chen Yuxi's thank-you speech in English unexpectedly made waves.

On this international stage, Chen Yuxi expressed her gratitude to everyone in fluent English, which was the embodiment of her self-confidence and international vision. However, some people questioned her for "admiring foreign countries" and believed that she should use Chinese to show her Chinese style. However, we must understand that language is only a tool for communication, and it should not be a yardstick to measure whether a person is patriotic or not. Chen Yuxi's English acknowledgment does not mean that she has forgotten her roots, on the contrary, it is another way for her to show the world the demeanor of Chinese athletes.

In this controversy, we should see the efforts and dedication of the athletes. Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan are the pride of the Chinese diving team, and they have won glory for the country on the field and paid great efforts and sweat. We should respect their choices and rights, not judge them with prejudice and emotion.

At the same time, we should also reflect on whether we should pay attention to the personal growth and all-round development of athletes as well as their performance, and the improvement of language skills is an important step for them to enter the international stage, and we should be proud of their progress, not too harsh.

This turmoil has made us more aware that everyone has their own way of expressing feelings and gratitude, and we should look at it with a more open and inclusive mind. Let's applaud Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan for their outstanding performance, praise their efforts and dedication, and look forward to their achievements in the future arena!
