The difference between Chinese people and Chinese people is thousands of miles apart.
Chinese patriotism is natural, Chinese patriotism is easy to be questioned for show, after all, the identity is unknown, your love also has a lot of impurities.
Recently, Li Shixin was attacked by netizens.
Li Shixin is a member of the Chinese diving team, and he once represented China in the Chinese diving world championship.
However, the world champion was questioned by netizens about his patriotism.
Because he has already immigrated to Australia with his whole family, Li Shixin is already an Australian athlete at this moment, and he is an Australian Chinese.
He won a bronze medal for Australia at the 2023 Diving World Cup in Montreal, Canada, and on the podium, he was actually singing China's national anthem!
This scene seemed to stung the hearts of netizens, and netizens commented sharply
Since you are so patriotic, why did you change your nationality?
Now representing Australia in the war is singing the Chinese national anthem, which is not the same.
Why did Li Shixin change his nationality? Are all athletes who change nationalities like him with a shining Chinese heart?
Australian representative - Li Shixin
Athletes eat the rice of youth, they win the first place for the country because of the sense of patriotic honor, but regardless of these factors, every athlete who shines in the arena has a competitive heart worthy of respect.
The spirit of sportsmanship is inherently fair and just, but national events are always inseparable from the competition between countries, so fairness and justice may be broken.
Li Shixin is 35 years old this year, and his career as an athlete is about to end, but at the competition site, he and a group of post-00s young players are not afraid.
Age is an obstacle he can't overcome, and only by redoubling his training can he extend his career as long as possible.
At the Diving World Cup mixed team competition held in Montreal, Canada, Li Shixin represented the "new owner" Australia, originally a veteran of diving, and was trained by the Chinese Dream Team, he performed well at the competition site, and he won a bronze medal for Australia with a total score of 451.45 points.
In the three-meter final, Li Shixin was not old and won the runner-up with a total score of 465.25 points, and the champion of this competition was China's Wang Zongyuan, with a total score of 556.75.
In the mixed team competition, Li Shixin took the bronze medal and the Chinese team took the championship.
The 35-year-old diving veteran took two medals in this competition, which is very rare, and Li Shixin's sports fighting spirit has touched many netizens.
In the award ceremony, the Chinese national anthem sounded throughout the venue, and Li Shixin, who represented Australia, was also singing along, which also moved many netizens.
From beginning to end, Li Shixin only changed his identity, and his Chinese heart has never changed.
Why Li Shixin changed his nationality may all have something to do with his dream.
Change of nationality due to the Olympics
Li Shixin was born in 1988 in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and because his parents worked in Guangdong, he went to live with his parents.
A chance opportunity made Li Shixin start diving training, this year he is only 6 years old, maybe he likes water, maybe he likes the feeling of being free in the water, Li Shixin trains hard every day, he never feels boring and repetitive training is boring, but enjoys it very much.
When he was ten years old, because of his good conditions and excellent performance, he was selected for the provincial team, and four years later, Li Shixin was selected by the naval diving team, and he officially became a military athlete.
At the age of 16, after winning the men's all-around championship at the National Diving Championships, he was selected by the national team and officially played for the national team.
Since joining the national team, Li Shixin has begun to play for the country.
In 2005, Li Shixin's partner Xu Xiang, who participated in international competitions for the first time, won the men's double 3-meter springboard championship.
In 2006, Li Shixin won the men's single 3-meter springboard championship.
In 2009, Li Shixin's highlight year, this year he received a new title, he was the "new world difficulty king", when he was the world's first diver to complete a 109B with a difficulty coefficient of 3.9.
With a series of gorgeous and difficult moves, Li Shixin won the runner-up, and he became famous.
In 2011, Li Shixin became famous as soon as he sang, he participated in the FINA Grand Prix in Russia, Li Shixin and his teammates won the championship and runner-up, but the award ceremony was misplaced due to the mistake of the organizer, and Li Shixin sang the national anthem at the scene!
Originally because of winning the championship to add glory to the country, at this moment Li Shixin is even more patriotic feelings into the bloodline, his singing the national anthem on the podium touched countless netizens, netizens praised: This is China's athletes!
After that, Li Shixin became more and more courageous in the war.
At the 2011 FINA World Championships, he won the tournament with the highest score in the game, when he was already twenty-three years old, so he is also known as the oldest world champion of the Chinese Dream Team.
Although Li Shixin's performance has always been excellent, the competition of the Chinese dream team is extremely fierce, Li Shixin and his partner focus on the three-meter springboard, but their competitors Qin Kai and He Chong are more powerful, so Li Shixin has never participated in the three major events.
In 2012, Li Shixin wanted to compete for the opportunity to participate in the London Olympics, but unfortunately lost the competition with his teammates.
Li Shixin won a total of thirteen medals, including eight gold medals, although Li Shixin is very strong, but unfortunately his teammates are stronger, so he did not participate in the Incheon Asian Games.
Soon after, Li Shixin completely retired from the national team, until three years later, Li Shixin appeared at the Tianjin National Games, he finished fourth in the men's 3-meter springboard, and Li Shixin officially announced his retirement after this event.
He later disappeared from public view, and his name was mentioned again when he immigrated to Australia with his family.
Why did Li Shixin immigrate to Australia? Mainly to fulfill the Olympic dream.
Li Shixin is getting older and older, and the luxurious lineup of the Chinese dream team makes it impossible for him to represent China in the Olympic Games, so he can only change his nationality to fulfill his Olympic dream.
In the Tokyo Olympics, we saw Li Shixin, Li Shixin also fulfilled his Olympic dream, although the results are very average, but constantly chasing his dream He is always exuding dazzling light.
Since then, Li Shixin has participated in many international competitions as an Australian athlete, but every time he takes the stage to receive the award, as long as the champion is when the Chinese national anthem is played by Chinese athletes, Li Shixin will sing along.
In fact, it is not a rare thing for athletes to change their national flags, but there are very few people who can change their identities without changing their hearts like Li Shixin.
Although Li Shixin is no longer a Chinese athlete, he can always remember the cultivation grace of the motherland, which is much more noble than Yao Li, who claimed that he had nothing to do with China after winning the championship!
Ungrateful Yao Li
Naturalization is very common in the sports world, but naturalization cannot be a reason for you to reverse black and white, Yao Li is not only a world champion in weightlifting, but also a world champion who opens her eyes and tells nonsense.
Yao Li was born in Fuxin, Liaoning, China, and since she was a child, she has grown up to five and three years thick, and her strength is still very amazing, so her parents decided to train her to lift weights.
Yao Li, who was practicing weightlifting in junior high school, met Liaoning coach Zhu Mingwu, and the coach took a fancy to Yao Li's external conditions, so he selected her to the provincial team.
Because of the excellent hardware conditions, Yao Li was sent to Kazakhstan as a "public messenger" to help.
In those days, it was normal for athletes to send public aid to other countries.

Because of the language barrier and homesickness, Yao Li was very painful in the early days of coming to Kazakhstan, but fortunately the coach treated her very well, focusing on training and taking care of her life, and Yao Li's life, who felt warm in a foreign country, also began to get on track.
Kazakhstan wanted to keep the weightlifting talent Yao Li, so it sent someone to do her ideological work, hoping that she would join Kazakhstan.
Because Yao Li has been living in Kazakhstan for a long time, she has long been accustomed to local customs, so when Yao Li received an official olive branch from Kazakhstan, she chose to join Kazakhstan nationality without hesitation.
Yao Li's strength should not be underestimated, she could have won the 08 Beijing Olympics, but the recurrence of an old injury caused her to miss the gold medal.
Four years later, at the London Olympics, Yao Li broke the Olympic record and won the gold medal in the women's 63kg weightlifting competition with a total score of 245kg.
When Yao Li stood on the podium, the national anthem of Kazakhstan sounded at the venue, and she burst into tears.
However, she acted a little strange during the interview, especially when she was interviewed by Chinese journalists in Chinese, and she bluntly said that she did not understand.
Journalists from many countries know Yao Li's Chinese identity, but Yao Li denies it, insisting that she claimed:
She has nothing to do with China, and her weightlifting career has nothing to do with China, she only lived in China with her parents before she was 10 years old, but not Chinese.
Just won the Olympic gold medal and was eager to deny the identity of the Chinese, what is Yao Li for?
Is it possible to admit that you admitted that you used to be a Chinese, and Kazakhstan will take back your ID card?
The smug Yao Li, this time finally paid the price for her arrogance!
Soon after the Olympics, she was found to have doping in her body, so an Olympic gold medal that she had struggled for many years was also withdrawn by the organizing committee, and she was also included in the blacklist of sports events and banned forever!
Athletes will always change their nationality for various reasons, but nationality can be changed, but a patriotic heart cannot be changed.
It takes a lot of effort and money for the country to train an athlete, and it cannot erase the country's efforts just because of nationality.
Although Li Shixin's nationality is Australian, his heart is always towards China, such an athlete is worthy of our respect!
