Originally, such questions were refreshing, but Gu Ailing’s answer reflected her maturity and stability.

Gu Ailing:

First of all, thank you very much for your question. The thing is, I don’t think I want to satisfy everyone. I'm just an 18-year-old girl, I just want to enjoy my life. In fact, I don't really care if others are satisfied. Because I'm trying to be the best version of myself, and I'm enjoying the whole process. I use my voice to bring about as many positive changes as possible in areas that matter to me. I know that my heart is kind, and I also know that every decision I make is based on the interests of our fellow citizens. I think it will bring greater benefits. If someone doesn't believe that this is my original intention, then it just means they may not have enough empathy to understand the good intentions of others. Because they have different values ??than I do.

So I am not going to waste my time on people who are not educated enough. They may and will never experience the joy, gratitude, and love that I am privileged to feel every day.

If someone doesn't believe me or doesn't like me, well, that's their loss. They can't become Olympic champions either.

In an interview with the media, Gu Ailing mentioned her original intention of choosing China:

She said: "I grew up in the United States, and I have many excellent idols to learn from, but In China, there are very few people who can lead ordinary people to do better in free skiing." And Gu Ailing’s influence in China far exceeds her influence in the United States. So, she made this choice.

A few days ago, she left a confession on Instagram, once again mentioning her original intention and her life goal:

"I have always said that my goal is To spread the sport she loves to children all over the world, especially girls, I also want to change the sports culture from a winning and losing culture to a culture of pursuing what you love."

She is such a girl who calls herself a "Beijing girl", a Chinese skier who combines bravery, strength, hard work, hard work, beauty and so on. All of this seems easy, but in fact it is different. Only you know the hard work.

Finally, we send our best wishes to this 20-year-old girl, hoping that she will have smooth sailing and prosperous life.
