3 . As the new snow season starts, enthusiastic skiers and snowboarders can’t wait to hit the trails. Among them is 11-month-old Wang Yuji, who can barely walk. A video of the girl standing on a snowboard and sliding down a hill in Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, went viral on the Internet recently.
Fan Xueyin, Yuji’s mother, said it was her daughter’s first time to try snowboarding. She said she and her husband were both born in the 1980s, live and work in Beijing, and love outdoor sports such as cycling, camping and running. They hope Yuji will learn to share those interests.
“As China will host the Winter Olympics soon, we are really encouraged to try ice and snow sports,” Fan said. Recently, we learned to snowboard for the first time, so we also brought our child, with the mentality of trying something new.
“Our family’s philosophy has always been that we encourage our child to do whatever sports we do. We don’t choose sports that we don’t know how to do ourselves. I went snowboarding with her dad, so we got her a little snowboard too.”
They initially considered waiting until Yuji was a little older, but Fan said “she really loved it”. Fan said the family has visited Thaiwoo Ski Resort in Zhangjiakou’s Chongli district many times. “Yuji has got along very well with the staff and neighbors,” she said. “Unlike living in the city, it’s wonderful for her to be able to play outside three or four hours a day here.”

5 . This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse of their generation’s nature.
Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s free-ski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of taking heed of it, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the air—before landing. “I have never done the ‘left 16’ before. I hadn’t prepared much for it apart from two days on the air bag,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance.”
But for these young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian, the girl said bluntly she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time.” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’ m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun. After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete with his idol.
“When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”
