My thoughts after reading "Cang Yan"
The feathers are falling endlessly, full of longing strings.

Recently I read a book, ?Cang Yan?, the autobiography of Yuzuru Hanyu, purpose It was to raise funds for his hometown Sendai, and perhaps also to commemorate his passionate youth and miraculous figure skating career.
There are many reasons to like Hanyu, but at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, host Chen Ying’s explanation of Hanyu completely made me fall for it. She said: "I'm so lucky to have met you. From now on, the streets will be filled with warm springs. His face is like jade, his figure is like a pine tree, he's as graceful as a startling giant, and he's like a swimming dragon." My love for him started with his appearance and name, and finally Character and talent. This also prompted me to want to know more about him, and I was lucky enough to find his autobiography - "Cang Yan".
Hanyu’s encounter with figure skating was an accident. When he was a child, his older sister signed up for a figure skating class, so Hanyu signed up. Who would have known that an accident would turn him into a figure skating prince? The life of a genius. Hanyu participated in large and small competitions successively, with successes and failures, laughter and tears. He thought about giving up, but in the end he gritted his teeth and persevered. I would like to use Chen Ying's words to describe him again, "Yuzuru Hanyu has stood proudly in the international arena with cherry blossom-like determination time and time again."
After reading this book, what I want to write about is by no means Hanyu’s various achievements. What shocks me even more is his inner strength.
Since childhood, Hanyu has been a child who refuses to admit defeat and is very strong. In his autobiography, the most common phrase I have seen is "must", and the most common word I have seen is "I must". From the time I chose figure skating, I was determined to be the first. Even if the road ahead was long, I would wear bright clothes and sing loudly, always believing that the road ahead would be long and bright.
Hanyu is an optimistic little angel. After the earthquake in his hometown of Sendai, the Sendai ice rink where he had been training was also suspended during the earthquake. Not only was Hanyu faced with the crisis of not having a training ground, he was also tortured both physically and mentally. He said he wanted to give up. But an invitation to participate in a charity ice show threw him from darkness to light again. He said: "I will use these ice performances as opportunities to practice, and I will also convey my feelings to everyone through figure skating." Although it is not a competition, Hanyu feels that performing in ice performances is very happy and can gain the audience's attention. It’s nice to be recognized.
Hanyu is also a humble and progressive child. He has always admired Daisuke Takahashi since he was a child, from looking up to him to coming into contact with him, until he surpassed him, and finally surpassed himself. Hanyu will constantly reflect on himself after each game, and will carefully watch other people's games to absorb the advantages, and then tell himself, "I will definitely do it next time."
Hanyu is still A polite, serious and lovely little angel. I like that he bows 90 degrees to pay tribute to the audience after each competition, I like his cute energy in shouting "ありがとう" loudly, and I also like that he takes every competition seriously, treating the figure skating competition as a dance performance, and works hard The way you convey your feelings to everyone.
"This is Yuzuru Hanyu, a player who never waits for success. He reminds me of a sentence, fate whispers to warriors: You cannot withstand the storm, warrior Answer in a low voice, I am the storm.”
