As the 2016 Rio Olympics kicked off, I was reminded of the movie "Eddie the Eagle" (Eddie the Eagle) that I watched last month~ This is a true story, telling the protagonist, Eddie, who is extremely mediocre, in my mother's With the encouragement and the guidance and help of the "old driver", but with unyielding faith, courage, spirit and optimism, and working hard to challenge myself, the dream of the Calgary Winter Olympics is realized. Although it is the last one, it is an inspirational story that has won full applause.

The Olympic slogan is "Swifter, Higher, Stronger", and the spirit is "mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair competition". It was an unparalleled Olympic Games, but modern civilization shows that the national strength is shown by the financial support of the national system and the number of gold medals, neither High nor Strong. The frugal Rio Olympics had an amazing opening, the Russian doping incident was dealt with, and yesterday's refugee delegation and South Korean women invited North Korean women to take a selfie with their mobile phones, which was very touching. Bai Yansong's commentary did not mention the Philippines, which was really stingy. I thought of He Zhili again. She was outraged by the unfairness and left Japan and changed her name to Xiaoshan Zhili to defeat Deng Yaping in the Olympic Games, while Li Na set an example of personal struggle.

I think that the meaning of life should be like Eddie the Eagle, to make unremitting efforts to pursue dreams, the result is not the first, the important thing is the process, hard without regrets and happy... If you have a dream, even if it is far away, try to pursue it, not Waste this life.

Michelle's speech, "when they go low, we go high," perfectly captures the gist of my comment - look at it the other way around.

    German ski-jumper: A push?

    Eddie Edwards: It's a lot higher than I expected.

  • Eddie Edwards: All right, coach.

    Bronson Peary: I'm not your coach, ok? Seriously, a coach teaches you how to jump properly. I'm just teaching you how to land so I can get you out of my hair as soon as possible. Got it?
