Translation:
The name Chen Meng has recently become extremely popular, but the way it has gained attention is somewhat surprising.
Journalist He Xiaolong has been determined to push Chen Meng into the limelight over the past few days, publishing three articles in a row accusing her of disgraceful behavior and claiming she is unworthy of her championship title.
This incident has caused quite a stir online, with netizens eagerly expressing their opinions.
The question now is, where does this storm of public opinion originate? What sensitive issues did He Xiaolong's articles ignite? He boldly questioned Chen Meng's Olympic qualifications.
According to him, Wang Manyu has been on a winning streak, sweeping Japanese opponents, and seems more deserving of an Olympic spot than Chen Meng.
Furthermore, he targeted the selection rules of the Table Tennis Association, suggesting there might be hidden agendas, possibly changing the rules for undisclosed benefits.
He Xiaolong didn't stop there; he also criticized Chen Meng's remarks after a match, implying that she looked down upon her teammate Wang Manyu.
We don't know exactly what was said, but such claims naturally sparked significant controversy.
As a result, netizens' opinions on Chen Meng are polarized; some believe she speaks with substance and deserves her title, while others shake their heads, thinking she has gone too far.
Chen Meng's performance at the Olympics was indeed remarkable. She not only participated but also defeated strong opponents like Sun Yingsha, securing the championship.
Such achievements cannot be easily discredited; her strength is undeniable, silencing all doubts.
Let's talk about He Xiaolong again; his almost aggressive writing style really makes one shake their head. It's just a table tennis competition; why make it seem like war, with a writing style so intense it's as if Chen Meng had stolen his family's heirloom golden pot?
Instead of this, we should focus more on the exciting moments of the game, such as Chen Meng's agile smashes and quick footwork—these are the core elements of sports competitions.
Of course, He Xiaolong's articles also sparked discussions on journalistic ethics. Should a journalist behave this way, criticizing an athlete who brings glory to the country for the sake of traffic and attention? This behavior does make one ponder the role and responsibility of the media.
Finally, this entire event has provided us with many insights. Athletes are indeed under great pressure, facing both the challenges of competition and external criticism; the media should maintain a balanced mindset and report objectively and fairly. As ordinary viewers, we should also show more understanding and support. After all, standing at the forefront of public opinion is not just Chen Meng.
He Xiaolong's sharp writing skills are no joke; this move is both laughable and tear-jerking, with netizens' comments varied and diverse, making the situation even more lively!
One netizen commented: "What is He Xiaolong doing if not hyping things up? As a journalist, shouldn't you pursue the truth? Why does it feel like we're watching a TV drama with new plots every day, and we, the audience, are just dinner conversation topics, maybe even trending on hot search one day!"
Another netizen expressed: "Chen Meng is really unlucky; a well-deserved champion is being written about like this. Can't we just celebrate peacefully? Why must it be turned into a soap opera? Honestly, she works so hard playing, yet behind the scenes, she has to deal with these pointless criticisms."
Some netizens analyze from a neutral perspective: "Looking at this matter, it can actually be understood; everyone has their own stance. He Xiaolong may have written based on certain information or viewpoints, but the methods are indeed excessive. As an athlete, Chen Meng is also under great pressure; these criticisms must be a blow to her."
Some netizens are picky: "This is all about traffic; whether it's Chen Meng or He Xiaolong, they've found their place in this wave. One passively accepts, the other actively outputs. Everyone argues so enthusiastically; isn't it because this is interesting? If it were plain and unremarkable, who would pay attention every day!"
Let's take a deeper look; another netizen commented: "In fact, this storm is not just about one person or one article; it reflects society's attitude towards success and the excessive attention to the private lives of public figures. If Chen Meng hadn't won, perhaps there wouldn't be so much discussion. In fact, this phenomenon is not unique to the sports world. In any field, once someone breaks convention and reaches a certain height, they will attract countless gazes, including both praise and criticism. In such an environment, Chen Meng and He Xiaolong are just two representatives. Through this incident, we can see that maintaining one's image in the public eye and dealing with pressures from all sides have become challenges that modern people must face. This is not just a test for Chen Meng but for each of us."
