In 2021, at the age of 21, Yang Qian successfully won the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in the archery event at the Tokyo Olympics! However, Yang Qian is not just an excellent athlete, she is also an outstanding student of Tsinghua University, a top academic hall, with outstanding academic achievements.
In the Olympic Games, Yang Qian showed the style of an archery master who was fearless and calm, and despite the strong competition and pressure, she was still able to play steadily and hit the bull's-eye with one arrow. In Tsinghua Park, Yang Qian has become the perfect blend of her intelligence and hard work, and has always maintained a humble and knowledge-seeking attitude in the classroom, using knowledge to shape her thinking.
It's amazing how different characters coexist in the same young woman. Yang Qian is like a bright pearl inlaid with double layers of brilliance, shining in the arena of the Olympic Games and exuding a unique light of wisdom in the library of Tsinghua University.
The brilliant achievement of winning the championship this time undoubtedly made Yang Qian instantly the focus of national attention, and applause and cheers poured into her like a tide. The double aura of the Olympic champion and Tsinghua Xueba's complement each other, making her a "national goddess" in the spotlight overnight.
However, just as people are chasing this lovely girl, no one expected that behind the halo lies a relentless storm waiting to strike her hard. After applause and respect, an unforeseen frenzy of online violence is about to sweep in, adding a bit of bumps and hardships to the young girl's life path.
Yang Qian first tasted the bitter taste of online violence when she inadvertently posted a set of photos of Nike sneakers on social media in 2020. For an ordinary post-90s girl, it is normal to occasionally share trivial facts about life in the circle of friends. No one would have thought that this seemingly insignificant act would turn her life upside down.
From the moment Yang Qian won the championship and posted a selfie, it immediately aroused malicious speculation from some overly sensitive netizens, who even questioned the lack of deep love for domestic brands in this Chinese hero!
During this period of time, the Nike brand has made inappropriate remarks overseas, which has seriously damaged its reputation in China, so any topic involving the brand has become the target of criticism by netizens.
However, unexpectedly, the innocent Yang Qian became the first victim of this storm - just a immature selfie became the fuse that detonated the cyberstorm! .
The effects of the incident spread quickly, and the heat snowballed and grew. More "water army" joined this cyber war, forming an army of "keyboard snipers" who launched attacks against Yang Qian. They joined the camp of "questioning Yang Qian", which made the young girl who had just won the Olympic gold medal instantly fall into unprecedented public opinion pressure, as if the huge waves smashed her on the reef.
In the face of such a violent storm of online public opinion, Yang Qian seemed helpless, so she could only delete the controversial Weibo overnight, trying to calm the turmoil. At that time, she was still young, and she had never experienced such a fierce baptism of public opinion, and her heart was full of fear and helplessness. As an athlete who fought for the honor of the country, she should have received warm applause and high respect from the whole society. However, the cruel reality is that she was subjected to unreasonable abuse and was forced to delete her unintentional Weibo in the middle of the night, which is undoubtedly heart-wrenching.
Yang Qian originally thought that deleting that unintentional Weibo would calm the Internet turmoil, but who would have predicted that this would be the beginning of her encounter with cyberbullying? After winning the Olympic championship, she instantly became the focus of attention of the people of the whole country, and many businesses and brands took the initiative and even spared no expense to throw olive branches to her, expecting her to become the image spokesperson of their own products.
In this era of rampant materialism and the supremacy of fame and fortune, Yang Qian, as a young girl who is only 21 years old, is obviously a little powerless in the face of various temptations, and her reason is soon swallowed up by the rolling torrent of money. In just a few months, her commercial value has soared nearly tenfold, and contracts have been signed like a curse, and a large number of bills have sprung up.
Once upon a time, the world's expectations for Yang Qian were so simple, just expecting her to devote herself to archery and win more brilliant glory for the motherland.
But the reality is that she began to appear frequently on many TV shows and participated in countless commercial performances, and these "extra" exposures took up too much of her precious time, gradually depriving her of the concentration and minimalist training mode required as an elite athlete.
The majority of the audience saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts, and they strongly criticized her through various social platforms: "As an Olympic gold medalist, your behavior is really not in line with your glorious image." "It's because of the greed for comfort that your grades will decline, what face do you have to continue to play?" The doubts became higher and higher, and the abuse became more and more intense, and Yang Qian became the focus of public opinion for a while.
From the initial "please leave China", to the later "quit the sports world" and "give us back a real hero", netizens' personal attacks on her can be said to be everywhere.
They questioned whether she was just a "wandering warbler" who struggled for money, whether she had lost her initial enthusiasm for the sport of archery, whether she had been deceived by money and fame, and whether she had given up her determination to hold on to her dreams.
The online violence raging like a storm was like a wild grass growing wildly, quickly covering up Yang Qian, a hot idol, without a trace, and she became the athlete who suffered the most from online violence.
In the face of such a turbulent torrent of abuse, the young Yang Qian once again fell into unprecedented fear, and her physical and mental health and daily life were greatly impacted.
Yang Qian originally thought that as long as she showed her strength in the next important competition, she would be able to win back the applause and cheers of the public, so as to wash away the negative impact of the previous advertising endorsement. However, fate played tricks on her again and became the final blow that severely damaged her image.
The 2022 National Games are coming as scheduled, which is a great opportunity for Yang Qian to regain her strength. Many sports enthusiasts are looking forward to it, and they have a vision for the former national athlete to regain her former glory on the court.
Unfortunately, Yang Qian's performance fell far short of expectations, and she only won a paltry bronze medal, with a lackluster result.
At the subsequent 2023 National Shooting Championships, Yang Qian's performance fell to the bottom, and her overall ranking even slipped to an embarrassing 61st, far from the excellent performance of the top scorers.
The announcement of this result completely detonated a heated discussion in the Internet world, and countless netizens questioned and expressed strong dissatisfaction.
"Could it be that her previous victory was just good luck?" asked everyone in unison, "Could it be that her overzealous enthusiasm for all kinds of endorsements and advertising activities directly led to a serious decline in her competitive ability?"
In an instant, she went from being a revered national hero to a spurned "loser". All applause and cheers ceased abruptly, replaced by callous ridicule and invective.
People seem to have quickly forgotten what glorious honors she had won for her country, and also ignored the hard work and sweat she put in to overcome all the difficulties.
In the face of a flood of criticism and questioning, the 23-year-old girl is once again under unprecedented pressure. The pain in her heart outweighed the physical trauma, and she could barely breathe.
On social media, she posted a video of herself wearing layers of pants swaying to the music, trying to create an image that is chic, independent and distinctive. However, this way of showing oneself, which should have belonged to young people, has caused more controversy and accusations in Yang Qian.
"As an Olympic champion, you're acting out of your identity. Everyone accused, "You don't have the right to show off." Doubts came one after another, and the spearhead of criticism pointed directly at the depths of Yang Qian's heart, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
What one sees is only an insignificant fragment of a young girl's occasional indulgence in life. However, the fact is that this girl, who is supposed to enjoy happiness and carefree, is physically and mentally exhausted, and her psychology and life are under an unprecedented heavy burden, so that it is difficult to hide her inner tension and uneasiness in front of the public.
The once confident, easy-paced Olympic champion seems to be gone, replaced by a young woman with a worried face and a bowed head.
Her preoccupation with social scrutiny and evaluation has led us to see the gradual loss of even the emotional stability that is so important in the sport of archery.
The sound of applause and criticism filled the air, and Yang Qian seemed to be lost in this noisy world, unable to find her own peace.
She began to pay extreme attention to the eyes and evaluations of society, and even the trivial public opinion storm would make her feel uneasy.
Looking back, she should have won glory for the country, winning countless praises like a tidal wave of applause and people's eager cheers.
Now, however, despite being an over-honored champion, she bears reproach from all sides.
The huge material gains and the following of millions of die-hard fans should be something to be proud of. But the reality is that these have become her shackles and made her lose her way in the pursuit of excellence.
The temptation of fame and fortune is like a charming kraken, swallowing her from the depths of her heart.
Yang Qian began to gradually move away from the pure sport of archery, and indulged in the prosperity of the entertainment industry and couldn't extricate herself. Participating in various variety shows, becoming the darling of the brand, and running around on the stage of commercial performances, these things that once made her feel new and interesting have now become obstacles on her way forward, preventing her from returning to the top.
Standing at the crossroads of life, Yang Qian's inner confusion was churning like a stormy wind and waves.
Sometimes she is bewitched by material temptations, and sometimes she is awakened by spiritual salvation, and she is completely unable to discern which path to choose.
Under such heavy psychological pressure, the once confident and calm archery master is gone, replaced by a nervous, uncertain young girl.
She is becoming more and more sensitive to social evaluation, and even the slightest criticism can make her feel overwhelmed.
In the eyes of everyone, Yang Qian seemed to be distorted beyond recognition by the relentless pressure. She seems to have gradually lost herself, and she has lost her due firmness in her own positioning and goals. As a famous archer, stable competitive psychological quality can be called the key element of success, but it is a pity that Yang Qian is now like a thousand miles away.
In addition to the fierce competition, she tried to show her unique charm by posting wonderful short videos on various social platforms, but it backfired, and this so-called "trendy" behavior instead attracted more controversy and accusations, such as "damaging the image of athletes" and "showing off and exaggerating".
Yang Qian's proud self-confidence in the past was wiped out in the storm of online violence. She became reserved and cowering, bowing her head in public like a frightened bird, and could be frightened by the words or gazes of others.
This is just like the brave and fearless Olympic champion who once stood alone in the world!
In the face of declining grades and pressure from public opinion, Yang Qian's inner struggle is undoubtedly painful and profound.
After this difficult period of life, Yang Qian finally slowly understood and accepted the call from the depths of her heart. She began to reflect on whether she was truly passionate about the sport of archery and whether she was willing to put more effort and sweat into it.
"It took me a long time to adjust my mindset and worry that people would be disappointed in me, but in the end I understood that I had to stand up for myself. Yang Qian said frankly in an interview.
Will she continue to pursue the glory of her archery career, or will she be satisfied with short-term fame and fortune? Yang Qian finally made up her mind to embark on her own journey again. She has been in the vortex of materialism and vanity for too long, and now is the time to return to her original intention and reinvent the style of Top Gun.
This road is destined to be full of loneliness and hardship, and the haze of doubt is always there. However, Yang Qian secretly vowed in her heart to prove to the world with practical actions that she still has a fiery passion for archery and is still eager to win more honors for the motherland.
Although the road is tortuous and thorny, as long as she sticks to her faith and always keeps her original intention, she will be able to shine again in the near future.
We are full of enthusiasm to look forward to the "national goddess" who once placed high hopes on the people of the whole country to realize the gorgeous transformation and rebirth of her self-worth in the years to come, and create another brilliant chapter for the mainland's sports cause.
