Why do China people like Fukuhara Ai so much?
After divorcing her husband Jiang, it was recently revealed by Japanese media that when she worked as a table tennis commentator for the Tokyo Olympics on Fuji TV, her salary was 1 day, 1 10,000 yen (about RMB59,000). Previously, the staff of Fuji TV also said that "considering Fukuhara Ai's popularity and table tennis experience, there is really no more suitable candidate".
Fukuhara Ai dressed in plain clothes appeared in front of the camera of Fuji TV.
Due to the rumors of marriage change that lasted for a long time before, Japanese netizens expressed their dissatisfaction and protest after seeing Fukuhara Ai's "high salary". "They changed the channel as soon as they saw her." "This makes me feel very uncomfortable. (Fukuhara Ai) has become an unwelcome person in Japan."
However, in China, netizens are very tolerant of Fukuhara Ai. In this regard, Fukuhara Ai responded with tears in a recent interview: "It is really because of the support of the people of China that we can live to this day."
China people's love and tolerance for Fukuhara Ai has a long history. Even if some people don't know her story, as long as they hear a fluent Northeast dialect in the interview and see the rich and lovely face in the competition, they will involuntarily join Fukuhara Ai's "family army".
Many people know Fukuhara Ai's training history in Northeast China and the results of her repeated defeats against China, but this little girl who loves to cry on the court also has an admirable way of fighting.
1 988165438+1October1,Fukuhara Ai was born in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. When Fukuhara Ai was born, her mother Chiyo Fukuhara Ai was 37 years old. As a mother who is keen on educating her children and devotes a lot of energy to them, Chiyo Fukuhara Ai asked her to learn the five-tone diagram when she babbled in Fukuhara Ai. At the age of two, Fukuhara Ai could read and write Japanese pseudonyms.
When Fukuhara Ai was six months old, Chiyo Fukuhara Ai and Fukuhara Ai's father, Takehiko Fukuhara, discussed developing hobbies and sent her to learn swimming first. My mother once considered letting Fukuhara Ai study dance and ballet, but her father turned her down. "Let's look at our bodies first. How can we dance ballet with short legs? " Therefore, Fukuhara Ai did not fall in love with dancing.
The parents who didn't know what to let Fukuhara Ai learn decided to spend more energy training his younger brother to play table tennis first. Two people who are willing to spend money for their children invited a table tennis coach from China to give their children one-on-one lessons several times, and the accommodation, travel expenses and training fees were all covered, so that Fukuhara Ai's brother got the ranking.
At this time, Fukuhara Ai, who watched his younger brother play ball every day, began to mutter that he wanted to play ball, and it would last for half a year. Chiyo Fukuhara Ai was worried that the three-year-old was just a whim, so he pointed out to her that table tennis training is very hard, so you should keep practicing every day. You can learn table tennis if you want, but on one condition, once you want to give up, you can't continue training. Even so, do you want to play?
To her mother's surprise, Fukuhara Ai still firmly agreed after hearing this.
If people don't know about Fukuhara Ai's family, Fukuhara Ai's mother, Chiyo Fukuhara Ai, is definitely a "tiger mother". Mother made a strict training plan for Fukuhara Ai. Every day, table tennis training lasts about 4.5 to 6.5 hours.
In training, Fukuhara Ai often cries and doesn't want to practice crying. He cried when he lost the game, even when he won the game. This emotional expression has continued to this day, and every time he brings rain in front of the camera, it will make many viewers soft-hearted.
Some people think that Fukuhara Ai's performance is because she doesn't like table tennis. In combination with all kinds of crying, she once accused her parents in the forum.
But in the documentary, Chiyo Fukuhara Ai said frankly, "Many people may think it is cruel to force such a small child to practice table tennis, but playing table tennis is always a little love for themselves." Moreover, in Fukuhara Ai's early videos, every time a child cries because he can't play well, Fukuhara Ai's mother will say, "Since Xiao Ai doesn't want to practice, her mother won't practice." . But Fukuhara Ai hugged her mother's leg and cried and begged, "Keep practicing, don't stop practicing", and insisted on the agreement with her mother-never give up halfway.
At this point, everyone knows that Fukuhara Ai just likes to cry.
Fukuhara Ai officially became a professional player at the age of ten. In order to let Fukuhara Ai see the bigger world, Chiyo Fukuhara took her to Liaoning Team in China and won only one game.
Two years later, Fukuhara Ai confronted the 36-year-old former China player He Zhili (Japanese famous Koyama Zhile) and finally suffered a fiasco. But the opponent's sentence "Everyone makes a fuss, China has 1000 players like Fukuhara Ai" stimulated Fukuhara Ai's heart, so she decided to "break through" in China alone.
Her mother, who had been with her for many years, thought it was time to let go, so she decided to let Fukuhara Ai go to China to participate in the domestic third-level league and then continue her training in the Northeast.
Wang Nan and Fukuhara Ai.
After a brief loneliness, Fukuhara Ai soon became one with everyone and even became a "collective pet". Except that you can't represent China in the competition, other benefits are basically the same as those of local athletes. Equipment, team doctors, coaches, coaches and venues can be used at will. This performance made Chiyo Fukuhara Ai feel very relieved. Even during the period when the Sino-Japanese conflict intensified, my mother made it clear that she was not worried about her daughter's safety in China.
In such an atmosphere, Fukuhara Ai's ball skills are getting better and better, and her Northeast dialect is getting better and better. In a competition, a reporter asked her what she was doing. Her words "Gahani" made many people discover this "Japanese group pet" hidden in the China team.
In 2004, Fukuhara Ai's parents announced their divorce, but neither of them gave up the cause of table tennis. Even his brother resigned to fully support his sister's career development. In this way, Fukuhara Ai set foot on The way of the Olympic Games with the expectation of the whole family, becoming the smallest Olympic female table tennis player in Japanese history.
In this way, Fukuhara Ai's special experience attracted the attention and love of the Chinese and Japanese people.
Having come to China for training many times, she is no stranger to this land in Northeast China. Not only did she become close friends with Wang Nan, the former "Great Devil", but her skillful northeast accent also made her gain a lot of contacts in the domestic "table tennis circle". Those Japanese athletes, who are called "the Great Devil" and "the Imperial Tiger" in China, seem to have hidden their fame. When they see Fukuhara Ai, they will show a coquettish smile.
For example, when Wang Nan got married, she asked Fukuhara Ai to be the maid of honor. At the press conference after a certain competition, Fukuhara Ai also prepared cookies for ZhangJike, the "royal tiger".
She also has a good relationship with Li Wujun, a famous CCTV sports reporter. At that time, Li Wujun had just started to know table tennis players, and the Fukuhara Ai she knew was only 14 years old. At first, the way she answered questions in Japanese was not bad. When they met, she always crushed Li Wujun with Northeast dialect, and every interview was an interesting talk show scene from customer to customer, fighting wits.
If Fukuhara Ai was only influential in the sports circle before, he can be called "popular" after he opened the love sauce in Weibo.
After staying in the Olympic Village, the toilet is broken. When repairing the toilet, you should send two photos with filters and selfies. At the same time, the contestants in China only took photos of repairing the shower curtain, so netizens at that time laughed and said that "love sauce leads by one point in the decoration competition of Rio Olympic Games".
Because of his strong Chinese ability, Fukuhara Ai will write a joke to amuse netizens when he has something to do, which makes people laugh.
This optimistic personality also makes Ai Sauce very popular in Japan. At the Rio Olympic Games, Fukuhara Ai lost to China, and Japanese netizens shouted: "Love sauce and compete for the championship at the level of ordinary people!" "Love sauce and don't cry, our hairstyle won!" .
It is no exaggeration to say that Fukuhara Ai is the "Chief Ambassador of China-Japan Friendship". At that time, when learning about the Wenchuan earthquake, Fukuhara Ai learned that there were only 60 Japanese volunteers, and Fukuhara Ai rarely said in a tough tone: "This is not enough. I said, why don't I go? There will be 6 1 person! " !
Not to mention her sense of existence when she participated in official exchanges between China and Japan. In 2008, then-president Hu Jintao and Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda attended the opening ceremony of the "Japan-China Youth Friendly Exchange Year" held at Waseda University in Tokyo. After the opening ceremony, Wang Nan and President Hu exchanged views on ball skills, which aroused widespread public concern in both countries.
Although I'm so cute, I'm usually loved by everyone, but on the field, China's players never let go of the water. Of course, except for those embarrassing moments when big bosses let the ball go-Zhang Yining, the "big devil", deliberately hit the ball under the table in the match with Fukuhara Ai, and was teased by netizens for his poor acting skills.
Although Fukuhara Ai often cries when she loses, she is actually a very strong person.
Fukuhara Ai as an expression pack.
After the London Olympics, Fukuhara Ai had a synovial resection of his right elbow. At that time, some media photographed Fukuhara Ai's arm wrapped in a thick ball, which greatly affected the activity of his right arm.
At that time, many media analyzed that Fukuhara Ai was badly injured this time and might miss a whole year to recover. But I didn't expect that just four months later, Fukuhara Ai was standing at the table tennis table again.
This reminds people that this tearful athlete never chose to give up under any circumstances. This persistence and determination to work hard that many people can't do conveys the unique Olympic spirit and her unique personal charm.
