A Role Model for Hong Kong People
A Role Model for Hong Kong People
Jamie Wong Wan Yiu, the Hong Kong cyclist who was awarded a silver medal in the women’s cycling competition at the 2010 Asia Games is a heroine in my eyes. She is also a role model for Hong Kong people and all the athletes. I think her poignant and inspiring stories can leave us some uplifting messages.
26-year-old Jamie Wong was brought up in a single-parent family. Being taught by her mother, she is as tough-minded as her mother. In view of her interests on cycling, she becomes a full-time athlete of the Hong Kong Cycling Team in 2002. In less than a year’s training in cycling, she won a medal in the Asian Junior Cycling Championship. Also, she was the first Asian female cyclist awarded the gold medal in the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics in Denmark in 2008. It is thanks to her continuous training and her persevering disposition. She really won honor for Hong Kong and we should be proud of her.
Until 2010, Asian Games was held. During the point race, she was run over by two bicycles and suffered a fractured rib. However, she insisted on completing the race and finally received the silver medal despite the severe pain in the competition. Her willpower and perseverance showed the essence of our Hong Kong spirit. We should learn from her indomitable life force. What is more, she is definitely a good living example to all the athletes. Even though her knees were badly bruised and grazed after falling from the bicycle during the race, she didn’t give up but make every effort to complete the whole competition. Her miracle has taught us the importance of sportsmanship. No matter we win or lose, we must spare no effort to finish the competition. We should not only focus on the results but also enjoy the process. It is undoubted that we can benefit from every past experience.
Last but not least, her stories have shown us that there is no free lunch in the world. We must equip ourselves time by time
