Chapter 22 talk about idols

This is life, tonight is not mine. This is a life full of hope and challenges. Everyone can make a wish to become the best person in the world; the best people in the world will one day walk down from the peak they stood on. Everyone can wear a crown, and everyone can take off a crown; but you can't wear a crown without trying; and without wearing a crown, you can talk about taking it off. when idols fall Tonight, you shed tears, your mother and I bowed our heads, and Uncle Wang and Mother Wang who came to play also left in frustration. Because Michelle Kwan, who participated in the Winter Olympics, fell down and not only lost the gold medal, but also dropped to third place all of a sudden.

In fact, a few days before the match, we were worried about Michelle Kwan, guessing how much psychological pressure she was under, fearing that she would continue to wrestle like a few years ago. I even said that I really couldn't bear the tension and didn't plan to watch the finals.Mom said with a smile, if you participated in the competition, I'm afraid I will faint on the sidelines. Isn't it? We are nervous for Michelle Kwan, and we are also nervous for her; we know that Olympic gold medal is her dream.She has already won four world skating championships, so she owes this gold medal.She also saw that she won the championship in the last Olympic Games, but Li Pingsiji jumped out and snatched the gold medal with a slight gap.

We are nervous for Michelle Kwan, but also because she is of Chinese descent. Her success is not only the success of the United States, but also proves the excellence of our Chinese people.I even guessed that many friends in mainland China and Taiwan must also be watching this game, nervous for her and wishing her well. So, tonight, when everyone in our room screamed at the moment Michelle Kwan fell, I said: "If you add up the screams of the whole world for her, even a mountain will be shaken." Isn't it? Although Michelle Kwan is of Chinese descent, in the hearts of Americans, she has transcended the boundaries of race. Just like when mentioning General Powell, no one would think that he is black.Although the American won the gold medal this time, in the bottom of the hearts of most Americans, they may all hope that Michelle Kwan will win.

Therefore, today not only Chinese people all over the world sigh for Michelle Kwan, but the American people also scream for her and feel sad for her. I don’t know if you’ve ever wondered why Americans prefer Michelle Kwan so much; why Michelle Kwan went to the White House on behalf of Pingsi Kwan last time when it was obviously Ping Siji who won the gold medal; and why Sarah Hughes, a white American, won the gold medal. White people feel like they're missing something. This is because Michelle Kwan has become a part of everyone's life.Over the past 60 years, everyone has watched her grow up, at the youngest age, defeating veterans in the ice rink, and then climbed to the top step by step.Everyone also watched her climax, sometimes flying lightly, and sometimes wrestling continuously.

It is also because we have gone through so many happy and bitter years with her, so that we can use our hearts to think about her heart, and think that what she dreams of is the Olympic gold medal. Similarly, we also bear her pressure.Because for anyone, facing the most important goal in this life, shouldering the attention of hundreds of millions, or even billions of people, would be unbearable, would be stage fright, and might make mistakes. Ice skating is really the most error-free sport in the world. In track and field, you can try your best under tension and break records.On the skating rink, you can't use half more power or less power, because that little difference will make you fall.

No wonder some commentators said that Sarah Hughes, who won the gold medal this time, won because of other people's mistakes.When Michelle Kwan and Sluzkaya made mistakes, Sarah Hughes, who was only 16 years old, made no mistakes and made a record-breaking triple-triple jump.So she jumped from the original fourth place to the first place at once. However, if you think about it from another angle, Sarah Hughes can not be abnormal when others are abnormal, isn't it the reason for her success? Maybe because she is a newborn, or because she has no psychological burden and only holds the idea of ​​gaining experience, she can have a normal heart and perform beyond the standard.

When you look back, when Michelle Kwan was also 16 years old, didn’t she beat many ice rink stars like Sarah today? She has won in the past, and won again and again, and every time she wins becomes her next psychological pressure.It is not unusual for her to win again; if she does not win, she will regress.Do the math, isn't it amazing that she can sneak up to today, at the age of 21, and still stand at the top of the world? Children! The Chinese often say that "the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead", which means that the rising star can always replace the previous generation.So when you are young, you must have the idea of ​​"whoever is Shun, whoever you are, and whoever is capable"; when one day, you become a veteran, you must accept a reality, that is, "talented people come from generation to generation". ", there will always be juniors who will surpass you.

The media is realistic. On TV today, after Michelle Kwan lost, the camera turned to Sarah Hughes, filming her waiting in the lounge, and embracing her family and coaches when she knew she had won the gold medal.The TV also broadcast her home video when she was a child. Sarah, who went to the ice rink at the age of five, actually said to the camera, "I can't wait to participate in the Olympics and win the championship." Then the TV switched to the scene again, showing the dejected scenes of Michelle Kwan's family, and Michelle Kwan forced to smile with tears in her eyes.Michelle Kwan also accepted the reporter's interview. What is admirable is that she didn't complain at all, she just swayed her shoulders lightly:

"This is life, tonight is not mine." She's right, boy, that's life! This is a life full of hope and challenges. Everyone can make a wish at a young age to become the best person in the world; the best people in the world will one day stand behind them Peak down. Everyone can wear a crown, and everyone can take off a crown; but you can't wear a crown without hard work; and you can't talk about taking off a crown without wearing a crown. My child, don't be sad for Michelle Kwan! You should be lucky for her. She is only 21 years old. As long as she is willing to fight, she can make a comeback next time, even in the next Olympics.

You should also be thankful for her, only today did not belong to her, she has had too many "her days" in the past.This setback will definitely not affect her status in people's hearts. And you, you are skating on the same ice rink as Sarah Hughes. You once heard her say that her idol since childhood was Michelle Kwan, and now she can beat her idol.Shouldn't you also set your ambitions in your heart and move forward with confidence?
