August 24 – Fourteen years ago today, at the Athens Olympics, China's 110-meter hurdles hero Liu Xiang not only won the Olympic gold medal, but also tied the world record set by Colin Jackson in 1993 and broke the Olympic record of 12.95 seconds.
And today, fourteen years later, at this time, there is a person who, in such a humorous way, pays tribute to the Chinese sports hero Liu Xiang and says:
"Shall I take my signature and exchange it with you for Liu Xiang's signature?"
——It turned out that Angela_icoke, a well-known sports blogger, said on Weibo: "Today I am still at home to Liu Xiang's signature in 2004."
He also joked @ Shi Dongpeng said: "Pay some money and I will sell you the signature".
Therefore, this is Shi Dongpeng's joking reply - but from this joke, we can deeply appreciate: as a former teammate of the national team, Shi Dongpeng, the little disciple of Liu Xiang at that time, is still paying tribute to China's trapeze in his heart!
As Liu Xiang's national team teammate, it can be said that Shi Dongpeng is a bit out of time - he lives in the "shadow" of the "Liu Xiang era", of course, this is a great luck in the history of Chinese athletics!
In his career, Liu Xiang has won 38 championships, won Olympic championships, world championship gold medals, etc., and has broken world records peacefully - he has become the first yellow champion to break the monopoly of the black race and run at short distance speeds.
Shi Dongpeng, who is almost a contemporary of Liu Xiang, is obviously much less influential because of this – he only won a world championship in 13.42 seconds at the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, on May 8, 2010.
However, Shi Dongpeng and Liu Xiang are a pair of extremely good friends, and Liu Xiang is obviously in Shi Dongpeng's heart, and he is also a peak of admiration - so, until more than ten years later, Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng have retired for many years, recalling this glorious moment of Chinese athletics, Shi Dongpeng does not forget to use this humorous way to pay tribute to Xiangfei again!
However, if you think about the painful expression of Liu Xiang's retirement before the Olympic Games twice due to injury - and in the years since, there are still so many people who scold him as a "deserter", but after many years, on the track and field field, especially on the hurdles, when the figure of the champion is no longer Chinese, many of us have invariably said a sentence: "We owe Liu Xiang an apology!" At this time, in Shi Dongpeng's tribute, is there a meaning that makes people feel sour?
However, is such an apology too late? Or should such an apology not have happened in the first place?
A sports hero who once dedicated his youth and brought great joy and enjoyment to the Chinese, when they failed, why would so many people "turn their faces" and criticize and insult?
Wait until you know how to cherish, you will know regret! - But isn't it a little late? However, such an apology, after all, can still be late, so now, whether it is in a humorous way like Shi Dongpeng, or directly say an "apology", then remember our sports hero and pay tribute to Liu Xiang again!
