From Li Ning to Sun Yang, I don’t want my children to experience “gold medal” kidnapping again

Pang Wei didn\’t win the gold medal, and neither did Sun Yang. As a result, the whole country fell into deep sorrow again, the so-called \”unfavorable start\”. It has to be said that the results of public wisdom have been good in recent years. There have been many more rational voices on Weibo, but the voices of \”trash\” and \”garbage\” are still heard. Facing these people, this time, I really want to say, \”If you can do it, go ahead.\” Although I don\’t like Sun Yang, I know the significance of this silver medal to an athlete who insists on training with one leg despite the pain of fracture. I love watching the Olympic Games, but every time I see the Chinese team lose, it is a kind of mental torture. The foreigner who won the bronze medal next to me is overjoyed, but if I look at the Chinese athletes who won the silver medal, they must be crying and banging their heads. Buried low, after returning to China, the high reward for receiving VIPs will be wasted, and he may have to be punished. I still remember Li Ning accidentally falling from the rings at the Seoul Olympics and being desolate when he could only walk through a remote passage when he returned home. When competitive sports are firmly tied to the system, the only meaning of sports becomes winning gold medals, winning gold medals, winning gold medals. Compared with the pain, what is more difficult for a Chinese athlete to bear is the mental pressure. The media described Sun Yang\’s pre-match status like this: In the upcoming Rio Olympics, Sun Yang\’s 400-meter freestyle competition is the first event in swimming competitions to win a gold medal, and it is also the most important gold medal for the Chinese swimming team. The pressure can be imagined, and this sense of security that has no place to rest accompanied him during his trip to Australia. But at that moment, he didn\’t know what kind of ups and downs he would experience in the next six months, and he never thought that his 400-meter gold medal would be the first gold medal for the Chinese Olympic team in the Rio Olympics. Sun Yang once said that before the 400-meter final of the London Olympics, when he walked into the venue and saw his parents in the stands, he had only one thought at that time, even if he died in the water, he had to win the gold medal. (Quoting media reports) In the hearts of Chinese athletes, the originally happy sport is a matter of \”living towards death\”, mixed with all the pain and struggle. If you look at the keywords used by the media, they are all \”failure\”. There is no report that he \”won\” the silver medal, and the headline is \”lost the gold medal\”. I don\’t understand what happened to the silver medal? Is it embarrassing? Sun Yang, who won second place, burst into tears and couldn\’t even recognize himself. When will we be able to break free from the shackles of being a \”champion\” and have a peaceful mind when facing the competition? Since childhood, we have been instilled in us by adults the obsession to strive for first place in everything. Let alone one point, even half a point means second place, and second place is a shame. I remember very clearly that after an exam in the first grade of junior high school, my score was one point worse than the top spot at the time. I was afraid of being scolded when I went home, so I begged the teacher who was close to me to help me add two points, even if 1.5 points is fine. She didn\’t agree. Fortunately, she didn\’t agree. The first thing is temporary, but the memory of shame is eternal, just like athletes who are found to be doping, they will never be able to take off the label of cheating in this life. Nowadays, we, a group of children who have been deeply brainwashed by the consciousness of champions, have entered the social stage and become a new group of parents who use small whips to whip our children forward. often inIn various groups, I saw mothers asking for votes for their babies in cute baby contests, calligraphy and painting contests, and they went crazy. \”Don\’t look at it, just remember to choose No. 2!\” \”No. 2 is my child, give it to her.\” \”Vote\” and \”Please help my child get first place\”… I really want to ask them, is the meaning of participating just for an illusory first place? Once I was annoyed by a parent, so I clicked on her so-called children\’s drawing competition. Her daughter\’s ranking was indeed at the top of the list. I carefully read all the works, and then in that painting she really looked really good. A vote was cast on the picture of a child who is beautiful but has only a few votes. There are often people who rationally analyze the decline of German sports. Yes, East German sports under the national system also had its peak, even rivaling that of the United States and the Soviet Union. Countless people thought that the merger of East and West Germany would mean the arrival of a top sports power, but it did not. Germany\’s Olympic performance in recent years has been unsatisfactory. In fact, it is not a real decline, but just a few less gold medals. The Berlin Wall came down, along with the championship shackles on the East Germans. Looking back at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, the one who received the most applause was not the American team with the most gold medals, nor the Chinese team with the most gold medals, but the refugee delegation. No one cares about how much gold or silver they can get. They suffer deeply, overcome difficulties, come thousands of miles away, just to enjoy the happiness brought by sports. This is the true Olympic spirit, and this is what we love deeply about the Olympics. reason. No matter how many gold or silver medals there are, their final destination is just a corner in the cupboard. What remains in our hearts in the end is the sweat we shed, the tears we shed, and the spirit of never giving up on ourselves. Don\’t let our next generation live in the kidnapping of gold medals. Please tell them, baby, don\’t care about how many points others get or how many places they get. Those who give their best are the best people.
