Lin Yuxian, the director of "Tumbling Trilogy", emotionally wrote a long text on his face the day before Li Zhikai played in the final. He wrote that in 2003, his brother Lin Yuxin said: "My biggest regret in life is that I have not been to the Olympics, and I hope that in 20 years I can take these boys to the Olympic Games." At that time, Lin Yuxian still thought to himself, "Listen to you farting!"

In 2005, Lin Yuxian asked Li Zhikai, who was still a primary school student at the time: "Do you like gymnastics?" Will you keep practicing?" He replied, "Of course! We're going to keep practicing until we go to the Olympics!" At that time, Lin Yuxian also thought to himself, "Cai Shi Zai Kai, you are so naïve!"

What Lin Yuxian did not expect was that Li Zhikai completed the agreement of that year and really stood on the Olympic stage. Although when he played in international competitions in 2016, he made mistakes because he could not withstand psychological pressure, and Lin Yuxin, the coach who had accompanied and cultivated him for many years, said something serious, but this pair of masters and apprentices still competed together in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

"Fifteen years of hard training, just for these forty-five seconds of luminescence, it is almost the last mile!!! Lin Yuxian quoted Li Zhikai's words and wrote emotionally: "We have waited for 20 years, and we are about to witness that this pair of masters and apprentices will finally step onto the stage of the Olympic final, that is, tomorrow, the moment of perfect landing, if you want to cry, cry loudly!" Men, roll over! Please enjoy this moment."
