Recently, Yang Qian, the first gold medalist of the Tokyo Olympics, officially graduated from Tsinghua University, and she shared a photo of her bachelor's uniform for the first time, with the caption: "After successfully ending the undergraduate stage, you can start your graduate life in the United States after the summer vacation." It can be seen that Yang Qian will continue to stay at Tsinghua University for further study in the future, and she will slowly say goodbye to the identity label of a shooting athlete.
As we all know, Yang Qian shined at the Tokyo Olympics 3 years ago, not only won the first gold medal for the Chinese sports delegation, but also climbed on the top podium twice in that Olympic Games, touching the feeling of "the pinnacle of life" in advance.
It can be said that Yang Qian's operation paved the way perfectly for her subsequent life, but it also caused a lot of controversy, thinking that she no longer focused on competition training and only knew how to make money.
In fact, Yang Qian has her own plans, after returning from winning gold in the Tokyo Olympics, she did gradually fade out of the shooting circle, on the one hand, because the Chinese team is full of talents in this field, and the younger generations of young players are endless, and it is true that Yang Qian cannot be forced to maintain her peak condition.
On the other hand, Yang Qian, who was born in the 00s, also has more possibilities in life, for example, she thinks that she should study and improve her cultural knowledge, so she chose to shift her focus to further study at Tsinghua University.
The Paris Olympics are about to start, Yang Qian did not enter the list of the Chinese shooting team, but for her, this is not so important, as a former Olympic champion, Yang Qian has created a peak moment, can leave more opportunities to the sisters in the team, Yang Qian, who returns to China to live a low-key life, is also more pure and happy, no longer disturbed by the outside world, and is becoming more and more beautiful.
Her grief stems from the death of her mother. It was during the Spring Festival in 2024, and her mother left her. After her mother died, Yang Qian deliberately posted a photo of yellow and white chrysanthemums, and compared her mother to a star in the accompanying text.
shocked fans, because the previous video of Shi's mother cooking food for Yang Qian made many netizens feel more cordial. Who would have thought that she would die in a hurry and not be able to accompany her daughter for a few more years.
Shortly before her death, Yang Qian celebrated her last birthday. In the photo, Shi's mother is wearing heavy pajamas with a bitter smile on her face. Next to her stood a middle-aged woman similar to her, who was supposed to be her sister.
Yang Qian brought a small double-layer cake to her mother. Mom clapped and sang a birthday song for herself. The picture is very warm, but one of the details has already foreshadowed the end of Shi's mother.
In these two photos, Yang Qian deliberately put a sticker of a birthday hat on her mother's head. It can be seen through the hair that cannot be completely covered by the sticker that Shi's mother's hair has been cut very short, almost close to the scalp, as if it is because she has undergone chemotherapy before.
Perhaps out of reluctance to show her vulnerability, Yang Qian almost never uses this to gain sympathy. She only talked about this in the 2022 issue of "Opening Remarks", mentioning that she felt deeply guilty about her mother.
Due to her busy training since childhood, she did not realize the importance of spending time with her family. By the time she finally won the medal, her mother had been suffering from illness for a long time. However, her mother is reluctant to burden her and pretends to be strong even in front of the camera.
Her daughter likes to eat braised prawns, so she often uses this dish as a reward for her daughter. It's a pity that Yang Qian will never be able to taste this delicacy in the future, and Yang Qian has not been immersed in sadness because of this. On June 15, she also shared photos of her puppy celebrating her birthday.
Yang Qian in the photo is still full of energy, like a little girl who has never experienced the sadness of parting. At the beginning, she rushed to participate in the tryouts before she could recover from her mother's grief, but her physical and mental health did not receive much attention.
epilogue
Outside the arena, Yang Qian is just a little girl who loves to pursue fashion and likes beauty. Although her results did not meet everyone's expectations, she was able to live a good life with a positive attitude, which is also a success.
