In this era full of infinite opportunities and challenges, the stage of sports competition is particularly vividly illustrated by this. Every time our athletes win gold and silver in the international arena.
The whole country will be boiling, as if every citizen is like a loving parent witnessing their children to win glory for the motherland, and the sense of honor and pride is surging.
However, the glory and pressure in the arena coexist, and some athletes will fall into the whirlpool of ** once they lose.
For example, a while ago, the national table tennis player Wang Yidi caused a heated discussion due to the defeat of Japanese players has not subsided, and recently another diving star Chen Yuxi has fallen into the whirlpool of language controversy.
With her exquisite skills, Chen Yuxi has emerged in the diving world and won countless honors for our country.
But who would have thought that the award-winning diving princess would also face a non-technical test. At the 2024 Montreal Diving World Cup.
Chen Yuxi once again conquered the women's 10-meter platform with an outstanding performance and successfully defended the title, which should have been a moment of celebration for the whole people.
The interview session after the award ceremony brought unexpected waves. Facing the camera, Chen Yuxi remained polite and humble as always, her answers were clear and official, revealing her appreciation for the game.
A deep thank you to the supporters and to all of them. While there was nothing wrong with the content, the fact that she was communicating in English quickly caused an uproar in the online world.
* In the picture, Chen Yuxi is standing in the spotlight, the gold of the podium reflecting her calm and confident face, but her mouth is flowing fluent English instead of her native Chinese.
For a time, netizens expressed their incomprehension and dissatisfaction, believing that at such a moment representing the glory of the country, she should express it in Chinese, because she not only represents an individual, but also a symbol of the Chinese spirit.
While there is a clear sense of sincerity and respect in her speech and demeanor, in the eyes of some, choosing English as the language of the interviewees is in some ways a lack of attention to Chinese cultural traditions.
It may even set a negative example for other team members. However, there are also voices pointing out that given the fact that the event is held abroad.
In the face of what may be a foreign reporter's question in English, Chen Yuxi is understandable for responding in the same language with the other party out of politeness.
In any case, the language storm revealed the heightened public concern about how national team athletes present their national image on the international stage.
The Chen Yuxi incident reminds us that while pursuing competitive results, we should also properly balance cultural identity and international exchange.
Chen Yuxi's interview in English after the game sparked heated discussions on the Internet, showing diverse perspectives and positions, reflecting the differences in values of all levels of society.
However, the public's recognition of Chen's outstanding athletic achievements has not been shaken. It is understood that one focuses on competitive sports.
Athletes who pursue gold medal breakthroughs day and night may not be able to take care of every detail. We should give her more respect and tolerance.
In the tide of globalization, China, as an open and inclusive country, is actively integrating into the world and promoting various cultural exchanges and cooperation. Many Chinese people are not only proficient in Chinese, but also fluent in English.
Foreign friends are also working hard to learn Chinese and experience Chinese culture in depth. As a leader in China's diving industry, Chen Yuxi is still self-taught despite intense training.
The fluency in English for international communication not only reflects the diversified development and broad international vision of Chinese athletes, but also demonstrates the determination of China's sports industry to keep up with the pace of the country and confidently move onto the world stage.
In the interview session of a sporting event, the reporter's questions are an opportunity to convey joy and share success with the athletes. Like other athletes, Chen Yuxi enjoys the right to freedom of speech and can choose what is most comfortable for him.
The most confident language to express emotions. Whether you choose Chinese, English, or other foreign languages, it is a manifestation of the right of personal choice, and it is also a concrete practice of the law to grant citizens freedom of speech.
Looking back on the Montreal game, Chen Yuxi overwhelmed the crowd with his super strength and psychological quality. Carefully prepared before the game, full attention during the game, precise and flawless entry into the water, and smooth and free posture in the air, like an elegant swan.
Then he showed superb water pressure skills, which was breathtaking. From the first round, she led her opponents by an absolute advantage, breaking records one round after another, and in the second round, she achieved seven perfect scores of 10 points.
Coach Chen Ruolin was full of praise in the post-match interview, saying that his movements were picturesque and almost perfect. In the end, Chen Yuxi ended with 368With a high score of 82, she won the women's 10-meter platform championship and achieved her ambition of winning five consecutive championships in the event.
It fully proves that her strength is unbeatable. Therefore, no matter what language Chen Yuxi uses in the interview after the game, it cannot erase her glorious performance and unrivaled strength on the field.
That shining gold medal is not only a symbol of her personal honor, but also represents that China's diving career has once again created a miracle. Chen Yuxi, this heroine, no matter what she does, we should accept it with a broad mind.
Faced with the fact that she gave a speech in English on the podium, we should understand and appreciate it with a more open mind.
After all, the global English has become a bridge for her to show the world the style of Chinese athletes, and has set an excellent example of cross-cultural communication.
In addition, as a world-class athlete, being multilingual is a basic professional requirement.
Instead of speculating on her motives or labelling her as flattering, we should see that she is spreading the spirit of Chinese sportsmanship to the world in her own way.
