On September 28th, 2023, at the Hangzhou 19 Asian Games, China won the women's 4× 200m freestyle relay, and Cheng Yujie showed off her elegance. However, after the game, Cheng Yujie said in an interview that even if he won the gold medal, it would be difficult to get a ticket to go home. It seems that "grabbing tickets is not a champion." Even the Asian Games champion can't go home and reunite with his family.
Cheng Yujie had hoped to go home immediately after winning the championship, but she lacked tickets. "It is difficult to grab tickets" plagues every athlete and becomes a stumbling block on their way home after they get good grades. In fact, the difficulty for Asian Games champions to go home can be traced back to previous Olympic Games. For example, at the Rio Olympic Games, Tian Liang, head coach of the China delegation, complained that "the competition is a small problem, but going home is a big problem". After the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, many athletes also took photos of queuing to buy tickets on social media.
This reflects the current situation that it is difficult for China athletes to return to China. At the end of each large-scale event, the winning athletes will encounter different degrees of "difficulty in grabbing tickets" and become a psychological obstacle that is difficult to cross.
