When Liu Xiang was young, he received high jump training and entered a sports school Later, after a skeletal test, the coach found that his adult height could not guarantee that he would become a world-class high jumper. Therefore, on the advice of the sports school coach, Liu Xiang began to switch to hurdle training in 1998. In 2002, Liu Xiang broke the 24-year-old world youth record in the 110-meter hurdles. The following year, he won a bronze medal at the World Athletics Championships and entered the ranks of the world's top hurdlers.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, although Liu Xiang was not widely expected to win the 110-meter hurdles gold medal before the game, he perfectly utilized his technical advantages in the final and crossed the finish line first with an advantage of nearly three meters. The time of 12.91 seconds tied the world record that had stood for 11 years. Liu Xiang is the first Chinese male athlete to win a gold medal in Olympic track and field events. When he won the Olympic gold medal, Liu Xiang was only 21 years old. Now he is working hard to win the gold medal again at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"Flag Throwing" Incident
In the 2007 World Athletics Championships men's 110-meter hurdles final, Chinese flying star Liu Xiang won the World Championships for the first time with a time of 12.95 seconds. However, the off-field footage had a discordant sound. A netizen named "Little Renxian" posted a post. He pointed out that Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng "threw the national flag" after the game, and criticized Liu Xiang for not respecting the national flag and not being worthy of being Chinese. This incident was also followed by many media. saute.
Liu Xiang is full of kingly aura on the 110-meter hurdles track, and this domineering power gives his opponents a strong intimidation effect. However, Liu Xiang has always been a very healthy and well-behaved person outside the game, and he has been almost insulated from negative news. Liu Xiang is accompanied by more positive images and positive news, such as donating money to charities and using his success to promote the development of Chinese track and field. In addition, there are also rumors that Liu Xiang covered his Japanese company trademarks during the competition and cleverly rebutted Japanese reporters' deliberately difficult questions.
Why would a man with so many honors and achievements want to destroy his image by disrespecting the flag in full view of the public? Is Liu Xiang stupid or crazy?
Whether Liu Xiang is patriotic does not need to be praised or fabricated. Listen to what the trapeze man said after winning the World Championships: "I just want to get back the honor lost by the Chinese men's short track. I want to defeat my opponents more times. Let your opponents witness what the real Asian speed is!” This was not made up by the reporter, it was Liu Xiang’s exact words during the interview. The strong and vocal actions of this man prove it. Is this not worthy of being a Chinese?
Netizen "Little Fairy" wrote in his post: "Although you have won glory for the country, you don't even respect the national flag. How can you be Chinese?" Let me ask, how can Liu Xiang be so successful? It’s called respecting the national flag, but how can it be called patriotism? OK, Liu Xiang's reaction that day was not patriotic, so let's make a boring inference - after the game, Liu Xiang washes his hands with disinfectant and wipes them dry with a towel (it must be a new towel soaked in disinfectant). From teammate Shi Dongpeng Respectfully take the national flag in your hand, with a solemn face and a stiff expression (because exaggerated expressions will be considered disrespectful to the national flag), first pay attention to the flag and salute for three minutes (otherwise it will be considered as ignoring the national flag), and then sing the entire song loudly The national anthem (really, how can you not sing the national anthem when you see the national flag), and then carefully put the national flag on your body, without any sweat stains (if there are no sweat stains, you may have to wipe your whole body with disinfectant first), and run while Saying "I love the motherland" with emotion, does this make you patriotic?
The above reasoning is for YY only. Closer to home, when I think back to the scene of Liu Xiang wearing the national flag and circling the stadium after winning the Olympic championship in Athens, it is still unforgettable to this day. After winning the World Athletics Championships, Liu Xiang and his teammate Shi Dongpeng walked around the field wearing a national flag to receive cheers from the audience. Does the "little fairy" think that these are all acting? Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng are both athletes, not actors!
What are the intentions of the "little fairies"? Some people speculate that they are taking the opportunity to hype up their reputation. This kind of looking for trouble for nothing, being caught and put on the line even for trivial matters, and nitpicking is disgusting. Or maybe he was originally a Xianghei, and when he saw Liu Xiang completing the Grand Slam and Liu Xiang's pride in winning the title of overlord, his own jealousy began to cause trouble.
As a media worker, in the face of doubts from netizens, you should first watch Liu Xiang’s winning video repeatedly to understand the facts. It can be seen that when Shi Dongpeng handed over the national flag, Liu Xiang’s mind was in a state of excitement about winning the game. For a moment, he probably didn't realize what Shi Dongpeng handed him. But when he slowly recovered, he realized that what he was holding was a national flag. He kept patting his chest, with a frightened expression on his face. Said: "Hey, it's the national flag." It's unreasonable for netizens to say that Liu Xiang "doesn't deserve to be Chinese" based on this. Then the media should have their own judgment. Should they follow the trend and lose their own rights? Position? Of course, in addition to the media, readers themselves must also distinguish right from wrong. After all, only what is in the heart cannot be taken away by others.
