Yesterday, Li Jingliang tweeted my support and respect for him after completing a game that attracted much attention to UFC, and many friends asked me privately how two people who felt that we could not hit each other would know each other. In fact, we are still very lucky, signed the same brokerage company, very early to hear the people around us talk about each other.
The first time we met was when we both participated in a variety show together, to be honest, his first feeling to me was strong, and very fierce, plus everyone was not very familiar with the program before recording, he laughed less, and it seemed that the sense of oppression was stronger. I still remember that when the staff called him "Teacher Li", his voice was on the small side, and he was more or less afraid.
But after contact, you will feel that he looks completely different from the appearance, he is very friendly, very willing to chat with people, and talk very humorously, every time you chat with him there will be constant laughter around. When it comes to family, he will be very gentle, very serious, and even have a kind of happy shyness, which is completely different from him in the fighting arena. What surprised me the most was that this Xinjiang man actually did not drink alcohol, not because he deliberately quit drinking for the sake of the project, but because he would not drink alcohol at all.
I've been paying attention to his game, but what I care about is not the win or loss of the game, but the fact that he participated in the game itself. In fact, there are very few Chinese faces in the entire UFC field, and it is already a great thing that Li Jingliang can stand on this stage. I don't know much about the development and history of this project in China, and I don't know how many Chinese have participated before him, but in my opinion, he should belong to the ranks of The Chinese UFC Pioneers. In the traditional advantageous projects, the predecessors paved the road so well, it is not so easy for us to walk; Li Jingliang, as a person who opened the way for relatively unpopular projects in China, can imagine the difficulties, which is worthy of respect and admiration.
Although Li Jingliang lost the game, I think the significance of his game is not to win or lose, but to express an attitude, that is, for sports, the significance of participation is often greater than the result of competition. In today's promotion of national fitness, I think more people should have such an understanding, as long as they can participate in sports, as long as they make themselves healthier, more happy, more harmonious social relations, it doesn't matter what they win or lose. The idea of winning or losing as the only goal of sports is not in line with the characteristics of the times in the field of mass sports, and the role of sports should be comprehensive and extensive.
Before reading some UFC information, many legendary players were not happy in their childhood, so that many people had inferiority, loneliness, and escape. And it is precisely because of their participation in the movement of UFC that they have re-established their self-confidence, dare to face difficulties and overcome difficulties, which is the greatest wealth that UFC brings to them.
Maybe the UFC scene looks a little violent or even bloody, but sports are all-encompassing, not that only one kind of project can help everyone grow and progress. The reason for this example is that I hope that everyone can take more initiative to participate in sports, and choose suitable projects to participate in according to their hobbies and actual situations. I think that people should not only pursue the technical and tactical level, this is just a way, the ultimate goal is to let the unyielding, enterprising, tenacious and continuous improvement spirit of sports integrate into every corner of life.
