[Preface]
As a Chinese, she fell in love with the country of Japan, and even wanted to join Japanese nationality and become a Japanese in the true sense of the word, which is really puzzling and shameful, not to mention that she was also the captain of the mainland gymnastics team......
He Xuemei won four individual championships and one all-around championship at the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan, and it was during this period that she fell in love with Japan, and finally chose to become a Japanese citizen and changed her name to Gaoyan Xuemei.
As a Japanese athlete, she has trained many outstanding athletes for Japan, and these disciples have even defeated our Chinese team on the field many times.
What is it about Japan that attracts Wayuki? How is her life now?
【Fall in love with Japan and become a Japanese citizen】
China is recognized as a sports power in the world, especially in table tennis, gymnastics, diving and other events, it can be said that the existence of the so-called ceiling, this dazzling achievement is ultimately due to the hard work and hard work of the athletes, as well as the country's vigorous cultivation.
But in the long history of mainland sports, there have also been more controversial figures, she abandoned her identity as a Chinese, but joined the Japanese nationality and served the Japanese, she is He Xuemei, who once served as the captain of the Chinese gymnastics team.
He Xuemei is a former member of the Chinese women's gymnastics team, born in Kunming, Yunnan Province, born on February 6, 1977, Naxi nationality, her family conditions are not very good since she was a child, but she has good sports talent, especially her physical flexibility and balance are very good.
Because of this, her family wanted her to make money through sports and change her family situation, so she was sent to a sports school to receive training since she was a child.
At the age of 15, He Xuemei was elected captain of the Chinese women's gymnastics team and achieved excellent results in international competitions.
She lived up to expectations at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, winning several individual and individual all-around titles.
She has won 5 gold medals, her performance can be described as quite outstanding, and she has also made important contributions to the cause of Chinese gymnastics.
So in 1995, she won the opportunity to study abroad for a short time in Kyushu, Japan, and obtained her degree.
During this period, he and Xuemei had a deeper understanding of Japan, and found that they gradually liked Japanese life, so they also left the idea of staying in Japan.
By chance, she met Gao Yan Chong, the head of the Japanese Athletics Club in Japan, and after a long period of contact between the two, they had a good impression of each other, and it was because of this that Xuemei later chose to join the Japanese nationality and married Gao Yan Chong, renamed Gao Yan Xuemei.
With her own strength in gymnastics, He Xuemei has become an indispensable and important figure in the Japanese gymnastics national team, and has trained many excellent gymnasts for Japan.
Many people in our country expressed their incomprehension of He Xuemei's choice, and some people even angrily scolded He Xuemei as a "traitor", who did not train athletes from his own country well, but ran to play for the Japanese.
Regardless, she thought she would be better able to showcase her talents in Japan, and at that time, she was fascinated by Japan's advanced gymnastics training facilities and environment.
Then there is the astonishing results of four individual titles and one all-around championship at the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima, which shocked Japan.
So when she visited Japan and was deeply attracted by the country, Japan also took the opportunity to throw an olive branch.
Someone else said: He Xuemei found a sense of "home" in Japan, and she thought that everything there seemed to be her dream, so she finally decided to become a Japanese citizen......
[He Xuemei trained many disciples]
In fact, to be precise, although He Xuemei began to be involved with Japan in 1995, she became a Japanese citizen in 2006 and represented the Japanese team in many competitions, contributing a decisive force to the Japanese gymnastics team.
It's just that due to the cultural differences between China and Japan, Jean and Xuemei's education methods at the beginning were not accepted by Japanese students, so she was also confused at that time, but later she successfully made Japanese students accept her through her own exploration and efforts.
But although she has a deep affection for Japan and is very comfortable living in Japan, she also said that she cannot tolerate some Japanese people denigrating China's sports training methods.
After retiring, He Xuemei worked as a gymnastics coach in Japan, where she trained many excellent athletes, and her disciples also beat our Chinese competitors in many competitions, which made her very proud......
[The performance of the Chinese gymnastics team in the international arena]
Perhaps the performance of mainland gymnastics in the international arena in the early years was a little unsatisfactory, but in recent years, the performance of our Chinese gymnastics team in the international arena can be described as very good, especially in the competitions in 2023 and 2024.
And at the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships, the Chinese gymnastics team ranked third with a record of 2 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes, and these results undoubtedly show the strong strength and competitiveness of the Chinese gymnastics team in the international arena.
Entering 2024, the Chinese gymnastics team continues to maintain excellent performance, and in the Cairo Gymnastics World Cup in February, Wenzhou players Huang Zhuofan and Luo Huan won the women's uneven bars championship and runner-up respectively, ushering in a good start for the Chinese gymnastics team.
Subsequently, in the Baku competition, the Chinese gymnastics team won two golds and three silvers, and Wang Zilu also won the gold medal in the individual stick gymnastics event in the 2024 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup Athens Station, which is the first World Cup gold medal in the history of Chinese rhythmic gymnastics.
Now it seems that our Chinese gymnastics team has shown strong strength and profound heritage in the international arena, not only achieved excellent results in traditional events, but also achieved breakthroughs in emerging events......
I don't know if He Xuemei looks at the development of Chinese sports today, does she regret going too far to Japan and being controversial?
【Conclusion】
In fact, everyone understands the principle of "people go to the top", and perhaps under that circumstances, the benefits that Japan could bring to Hexuemei were indeed more than those in our country.
But since the other party is Japan, everything that can be understood has become incomprehensible and unrecognizable......
