The voice of the US Immigration Bureau to Gu Ailing

Seeing this news, many China people's first impression may be "Isn't Gu Ailing from China? She won many honors on behalf of China in the Olympic Games. At the same time, through these fame, I also became a household name in China. How did this suddenly become the ambassador representing the United States' bid for the Olympic Games? Is she from China or an American? "

In fact, it is normal to have this idea. Honor and abuse are twins, and many times they follow one another. From the previous one-sided praise for her to the current complaints, there are two main controversies surrounding Gu Ailing:

First, her nationality.

The story about Gu Ailing's dual nationality has been raging before the Olympic Games. Later, with Gu Ailing's outstanding performance in the Olympic Games, the vigorous publicity of various media was temporarily suppressed. But with her bid for the Olympic Games on behalf of the United States, it will touch the nerves of such a group of people. They seem to have seized the evidence of Gu Ailing's nationality at once. But let's take a look at the American media's introduction to Gu Ailing's identity. In the report of Time magazine in the United States, Gu Ailing was called Eileen Gu of China, and Gu Ailing's social homepage also wrote "China Athlete", which was considered as both personal and official certification. Of course, some people are still talking about the difference between China and China.

Second, her "gold fishing" behavior.

After the Beijing Winter Olympics fire, Gu Ailing really gained a lot from her. The endorsements of more than a dozen international first-line brands, including sky-high endorsement fees, recorded hundreds of millions in an instant. We can simply define this as the gold fishing industry. Later, because Gu Ailing returned to China by charter flight, she was caught in the incident of showing off her wealth and private jet. This makes some people feel cheated, and these people call her "exquisite self-interest", "double-dealing" and so on.

But we see the secret mentality of those who laugh at her: acid, jealousy, and hatred for the rich. They ignored Gu Ailing's diligence and hard work, and the value they can bring to the country and the endorsement enterprises. They will only find that there are too many things in Gu Ailing that they don't have, and they may not be able to reach them all their lives. Since they are hopeless, they will drag you down. Their idea is simple. "Although I can't get your wealth and fame, we will make your heart miserable in our way."

Of course, it is not only some netizens in China who have this mentality, but also a large number of Americans. Fox News, a conservative media in the United States, had previously called Gu Ailing "ungrateful", and Haley, a former American ambassador to the United Nations, even publicly asked Gu Ailing to "choose one side".

Gu Ailing personally responded to the above criticism. "Some people always want to portray me as a geopolitical figure. I have not changed the power of these two countries. I am just doing what I can, and many things are out of my control. "

On the other hand, it is not without precedent for China athletes to bid for the Olympic Games on behalf of another country. For example, Ding Junhui once served as the ambassador for the Olympic bid in London, England, and Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo once served as the ambassadors for the Olympic bid in Pyeongchang, South Korea. At that time, Zhang Depei, a Chinese-American tennis player and grand slam champion, also served as the Olympic ambassador for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Gu Ailing trained in Salt Lake City and contributed her strength to a city with personal feelings, making it more human.

Just because Gu Ailing represented China in the Beijing Winter Olympics, she should not be too sensitive to the "American elements" in her body. China is a country of etiquette, which has always advocated and been tolerant of others. Why can't we treat her new identity with a normal heart?
