Seeing that the Paris Olympics are about to begin, Chinese athletes have gone to France one after another to strive to win glory for the country.
However, it turned out that those people had obviously accepted the country's vigorous cultivation and became world champions, but the next second they joined the nationality of other countries.
He even explained in interviews that he was "not a Chinese" and "can't speak Chinese......
Today, let's learn about the athletes in the Chinese sports world who "go to the empty building", and what "righteous indignation" things have they done?
Wang Yi: The Lost Genius of Volleyball
Wang Yi was born into a volleyball family. Her father is the famous basketball coach Wang Chongguang, and her mother is the Shanghai women's volleyball coach Yin Xiuhua. It can be said that volleyball is engraved in Wang Yi's genes.
When she was a child, Wang Yi was very naughty and always ran around at home.
Once, she accidentally broke the vase at home, and her mother was so angry that she stomped her foot. But Dad smiled and said, "This kid has athletic talent, and he will definitely be able to become a great player in the future." "
Sure enough, Wang Yi entered the Shanghai team at the age of 12 and was selected for the national team at the age of 17. In the national team, Wang Yi's performance was very good, and he soon became the main player.
Teammates all said that Wang Yi was like a nimble kitten when she played, always able to save beautiful balls at critical moments. However, as her fame grew, Wang Yi's character became more and more proud.
She started not taking her coach's words seriously, and she was always perfunctory in training. Once, when the coach criticized her for not standardizing her serve, she even said, "Isn't it the same way I can score with this serve?" "
Teammate Xiao Li recalled: "At that time, Wang Yi was really conceited, and he always felt that he was the best. We advised her to be humble, but she didn't listen. "
Finally one day, head coach Lang Ping couldn't bear it anymore and decided to teach Wang Yi a lesson. She transferred Wang Yi from the main attacker to the libero position.
This made Wang Yi angry, she felt insulted, and left the national team without saying a word and returned to the Shanghai team.
Lang Ping didn't expect Wang Yi to be so stubborn, she went to Shanghai to talk to Wang Yi in person. Lang Ping said: "Xiaoyi, you have talent, but you still need to hone it. Come back, let's work together for the Olympic title. "
Wang Yi nodded in agreement at that time, but turned around and ran to United States to become a teaching assistant. The move completely angered the Chinese Volleyball Association, who sent Ms. Wang a notice of removal, saying they would never hire her again.
Today's Wang Yi can only be a small assistant coach in the United States, watching the former teammates on TV win glory for the country, and I don't know what it's like.
Her good friend Xiao Zhang said: "Wang Yi regrets dying now, but it's too late. She always told me that if she could do it all over again, she would definitely cherish the opportunity to be in the national team. "
Zhuang Yong: The lost path of the swimming champion
Speaking of Zhuang Yong, friends born in the 80s and 90s may have an impression. She is a star in the Chinese swimming world, winning four gold medals in one go at the 1994 Asian Games, and she is in the limelight for a while.
Zhuang Yong was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, and has loved swimming since he was a child. With his outstanding talent and hard training, Zhuang Yong soon entered the national team.
In the national team, she is even more like a fish in water, and her results are climbing steadily. The 1994 Asian Games was her highlight moment, and her four gold medals made her famous overnight.
However, after becoming famous, Zhuang Yong gradually changed. She began to be dissatisfied with the way the national team trained, often arguing with the coaching staff.
Zhuang Yong's stubborn temper is notoriously good. The coaching staff talked to her many times, hoping that she would understand and cooperate with the training arrangement, but she just wouldn't listen.
Finally in 1997, Zhuang Yong made a decision that shocked the whole country: she wanted to go to Australia to develop.
Zhuang Yong's parents strongly opposed her decision. Her mother cried and said, "How good you are in China, there are so many people supporting you." When you go abroad, who will take care of you? But Zhuang Yong had already made up his mind and insisted on leaving.
However, reality gave Zhuang Yong a heavy slap in the face. In Australia, she did not achieve the desired success.
Due to the language barrier, the environment is not adaptable, and her grades are getting worse. In the end, she had to choose to retire and become an ordinary swimming coach.
Li Yangming: A young player seduced by Japan
Mingyang was born into a family of ordinary workers and loved to play basketball since he was a child. Her basketball talent was soon discovered, and she entered the provincial team at the age of 15.
In the provincial team, Li Mingyang performed well and soon became the main player. In 2018, 18-year-old Li Mingyang represented China at the World Junior Championships.
In the game, she performed exceptionally well, helping the Chinese team defeat the strong Spain team. This victory made the Chinese women's basketball team create the best result in history, and Li Mingyang became a new basketball star.
However, just when everyone thought that Li Mingyang would continue to serve the country, an accident happened. Shortly after the World Junior Championships, Li Mingyang suddenly left the team on the grounds of physical discomfort.
At first, the coach and teammates thought she just needed a break. However, when they contacted Li Mingyang again, they found that she was already in Japan.
It turned out that during the World Youth Championships, some Japan scouts noticed Li Mingyang's outstanding performance. They contacted Li Mingyang privately and described to her a bright prospect of development in Japan.
Li Mingyang was fascinated by these promises and felt that going to Japan was a rare opportunity. In this way, she quietly left China and came to Japan. In order to play in Japan, she even changed her name.
However, the reality is not as rosy as Li Mingyang imagined. In Japan, she faced many difficulties such as language barriers and cultural differences.
To make matters worse, she didn't do as well on the pitch as she used to. Japan's basketball style is different from China's, and Li Mingyang struggled to adapt for a while.
Nakamura, Lee's Japan teammate, said: "When Yamada (Lee Yangming) first arrived, everyone had high expectations for her. But she always doesn't seem to fit into the team, and her style of play is very individualistic. "
Slowly, Lee Mingyang's playing time in the Japan team became less and less. She began to regret her decision and wanted to return home.
However, when she contacted the Chinese Basketball Association, she received a reply: "You have chosen Japan nationality, and we can no longer accept you." "
Today's Li Mingyang can only struggle in Japan's second division. Her parents often called to ask when she was coming home, and she was always vague.
A weightlifting champion who denies his roots
Yao Li was born in a small village in Liaoning Province. Her parents are ordinary farmers, and the family conditions are not good. When she was a child, Yao Li was very naughty and always ran around the village.
Her primary school teacher, Ms. Wang, recalled: "Xiao Yao was so strong that she once moved a large cabinet in the classroom by herself, which scared us all. "
Yao Li's talent for weightlifting was soon discovered. At the age of 14, she was selected for the provincial team. In the provincial team, Yao Li trained hard and soon became the main player.
In 2008, Yao Li participated in a "talent exchange program" and went to Kazakhstan for a one-year training. Who knows, this trip completely changed the trajectory of her life.
In Kazakhstan, Yao Li performed very well, beating local players in competitions many times.
Kazakhstan's sports department saw Yao Li's potential and threw an olive branch to her: if she was willing to become a Kazakhstan citizen, she could get high bonuses and better treatment.
In the face of temptation, Yao Li wavered. In the end, Yao Li made a decision that shocked everyone: she became a Kazakhstan citizen and changed her name to "Haya · Maneza".
Since then, she has represented Kazakhstan in various international competitions. What is even more difficult to accept is that Yao Li seems to have completely denied her Chinese background.
In an interview, she said in fluent Russian that she grew up in Kyrgyzstan and even claimed to not understand Chinese. The remarks caused a huge controversy, with many Chinese netizens expressing anger and disappointment at her actions.
However, Yao Li's "good days" did not last long. In 2016, she was found to have dopeded in a competition and was banned for life.
Yao Li, who lost her qualification for the competition, also lost the support of Kazakhstan. Today, Yao Li can neither return to China nor continue her sports career in Kazakhstan.
epilogue
We can't simply blame these athletes, but their experiences do offer valuable lessons for future generations. As an athlete, you must know how to cherish the cultivation of the country and have a strong sense of patriotism.
At the same time, it is also necessary to learn how to correctly handle the relationship between personal interests and national interests.
As one retired athlete put it: "The feeling of winning glory for the country is incomparable to any amount of money and fame." I hope that every athlete can feel this pride and never forget their roots. "
