Margaret McNeil, who grew up as an adult, was trained by the Canadian state because she was very talented in swimming and often won championships in various competitions. So he represented Canada in the 20021Tokyo Olympic Games and won the 100m butterfly gold medal.
But because of his special status, many netizens don't really understand this award, because China's best achievement in this competition has always been a silver medal, and he has never won a gold medal. But because I took this gold medal away, I was concerned by many people, and there were many criticisms on the Internet.
I think when we look at this problem, we should first understand the whole picture of the matter, and then make a correct view. I think it is wrong to criticize this matter with my own subjective thoughts instead of seeing the result of this matter. We must understand from the following three aspects, and then make a correct comment.
The first aspect: growth.
Although Margaret McNeil came from China and moved to Canada as a child with Canadian citizenship, she grew up in Canada, so it is natural to represent Canada in the Olympic Games.
The second aspect: identity.
Although I originally belonged to China nationality, my true identity is still Canadian nationality, because the Canadian couple who adopted me went through legal procedures, helped themselves and changed their nationality, which was also recognized by the laws of China. I think it is reasonable to represent Canada in the Olympic Games under such circumstances.
The third aspect: keep rational.
After this incident, there was a lot of controversy on the Internet. Many people don't understand such things at all, and there are always some critical voices. But I think such a thing always has its rationality, and most people should not look at it with past thinking.
Because Margaret McNeil couldn't control her own destiny, and she was an orphan at that time, she had to follow her destiny step by step. Therefore, when we look at this matter today, we must be rational and sober enough to think calmly about the whole incident.
