The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.
Hyakuta
I once heard a terrible story about a male gymnast in China.
He was a very talented gymnast who had won gold medals at the Asian Games and had been selected to compete in the Olympics.
However, he suffered a severe injury when he ruptured his Achilles tendon. When a top athlete tears his Achilles tendon, it's as if his life is over, and it's almost impossible for him to play.
Sure enough, they also judged him to be "he can't do it anymore," but at that time, what the physical training school said was scary again.
"You can't do it anymore, so you can either get 35,000 yuan (about 500,000 yen) and leave here, or you can stay at school. Well, cut off that unusable foot and take part in the Paralympics. Then you can stay in school."
Shi
I was indeed astounded!
However, it was not an implausible story.
Hyakuta
"I hate it," so he quit the school after receiving 35,000 yuan, but after that, he became like a beggar without food.
In another example, after he was expelled from the gymnastics school, an athlete made a living by standing on his head, doing backflips, and doing street performances.
There was nothing else they could do besides gymnastics, and they could not eat.
It is a glimpse into the negative side of the Chinese Olympics.
"A gold medal-winning machine."
Shi
Parents in rural areas are aware of this, but they send their children out with the faintest possibility of success.
However, 99.9% of the children never make it to the big time and are forced to leave gymnasiums, ruining the lives of many of them.
In China, there is no safety net for the excluded children. There is no sense of taking care of them at all.
They simply think, "Throw away the ones that are useless" or "There are enough alternatives to sweep and throw away."
It's extremely cruel.
Hyakuta
Furthermore, I have heard that there are cases where hormones and other drugs are given to young children as "nutritional supplements" as part of athletes' training.
For example, many Chinese gymnasts are particularly short.
Some experts suggest that they are forced to take growth inhibitors to prevent them from growing taller.
Or, if you look at female weightlifters, some of them have beards, and at first glance, they look like men.
The Chinese women's track and field athletes have been a particular topic of conversation this year. "The Chinese women's track and field athletes attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, with some people saying that their skeletons and voices made them look like men.
I saw a picture of her, but I had the impression that it was indeed ...
I couldn't help but write on Twitter, "Is This China's new mixed-gender relay?
In fact, East Germany used to administer hormone medication to its athletes frequently, which helped the East Germans mass-produce gold medals in javelin and shot put.
These women were given male hormone-based muscle-building drugs, but their coaches told them they were vitamins and made them drink them.
And look into the post-retirement lives of these women. You will find cases where the side effects of doping have eaten away at their bodies, making them unable to bear children, committing suicide, being committed to mental hospitals, or changing their sex to become men.
Shi
Communism often sacrifices people for the sake of the state.
For the sake of national prestige, they feel that they are building a "gold medal-winning machine" instead of developing athletes as human beings.
So once the "mission" of winning a medal is done, the person is no longer needed.
They think they can just mass produce another "machine" from the next generation of young people.
Treated as a traitor to the nation
Hyakuta
And even if you are selected as an Olympian, it would be disastrous if you don't win a medal.
Ishi
In China, if you don't win a medal despite being expected to do so, it would be better not to compete at all.
Hyakuta
From the perspective of the Chinese Communist Party, it's like, "How much money do you think the nation has spent to send you out as an athlete?
"Instead of contributing to the nation, you're tarnishing it! I thought.
Shi
Not only will they be considered useless, but they will be treated as traitors to the nation.
Hyakuta
If you don't win a medal, all the hard work you have done for the past 10 or 20 years will be in vain or even harmful.
If you are expected to win a gold medal, and you end up with a silver or bronze medal, people will say, "What are you doing to me? Your future is not bright anymore! And so on.
That's why Chinese athletes go to the Olympics with their whole lives on the line.
It's life or death. They are fighting under such circumstances, so they are powerful.
Shi
In Japan, they say that it is meaningful to participate, and even if they don't win a medal, they praise the athletes by saying, "Thank you for the excitement.
I think that is the Olympic spirit, but in China, that is not the case.
Behind the gold medalists
Hyakuta
Also, in China, when a sport is removed from the Olympics, it seems that they are no longer looking at that sport.
All the various organizations and projects that set up to win the gold medal are dissolved. Of course, they don't take care of the athletes at all.
"I don't know the rest" is really cruel.
Shi
So the players were bullied, and the coaches and other people involved were all left in the lurch. But the Chinese Communist Party doesn't care about that at all. They don't think of people as people.
They think of us as mere machines and parts that can be thrown away and replaced with new ones when they are no longer needed.
Behind the Chinese gold medalists on TV, thousands and thousands of boys and girls whose lives have been ruined, and many others involved.
That medal is based on those sacrifices.
It is the furthest thing from the Olympic spirit, and there is no way we can allow such a country to participate in the Olympics.
And the host country? It is no joke!
China has no right to host the Olympics because of its genocide against the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other minorities and because of its atrocities against its own people.
Hyakuta
The Olympics is just one example of how terrible communist countries are.
Among them, the cruelty of the Chinese Communist Party is unsurpassed.
