  "I have lived up to everyone's expectations. This gold medal is the best birthday present." As the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Paralympics, this previously unknown girl has attracted much attention.

On that day, she was the athlete who stayed in the mixed mining area for the longest time in the biathlon field. Enthusiastic media reporters surrounded her, like a birthday party.

  Guo Yujie looked very excited, she deliberately put "Xue Rongrong" between the race number bib and clothes, and placed it on her chest.

This naughty and lovely girl is reminiscent of "flowers".

Guo Yujie loves flowers, but her fate is changed by snowflakes.

  Guo Yujie, who was born in an ordinary family in Shangyi County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, is extremely gifted in sports despite a congenital disability in his left hand.

The young Guo Yujie participated in the selection of gymnastics and swimming in Hebei Province and was successfully selected, but her parents did not let her leave home considering that Guo Yujie was too young at the time.

  In July 2015, Beijing and Zhangjiakou successfully bid for the Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics, and Zhangjiakou, a mountain city outside the Great Wall, became the city of Winter Olympics.

That winter, 11-year-old Guo Yujie had the honor to participate in the selection activity of the national ski team in Chongli, Zhangjiakou.

  "The wind whistled in my ears, and I was galloping in the snow. The feeling of my heart racing is unforgettable in my life." Guo Yujie told a reporter from China News Agency that she insisted on pursuing the feeling of "accelerating heartbeat" that time, and her parents respected her choice.

On March 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics was held at the Beijing National Stadium.

  Fall hard, stand up, fall hard, stand up again.

Professional ski training is a whole new world. Guo Yujie, who has a strong personality, is like other new team members. Facing mountains and ski tracks, his legs are often weak, but he is persistent like a sunflower.

  Guo Yujie's perseverance touched the reporter of China News Agency deeply in an injury in 2016.

At that time, Guo Yujie, who suffered a broken ankle and ruptured the collateral ligament, chose to postpone the operation because he was in the critical period of preparing for the competition.

Surgery and rehabilitation will not be performed until the end of the 10th National Paralympic Games and the 7th Special Olympics in 2019.

  In this regard, Guo Yujie smiled and said that after recovering for more than half a year after the operation, his grades improved very quickly.

"I hope this gold medal can inspire more disabled people. In fact, we are not bad at all, and we can stand on the podium of the Olympic Games." With the bright sunshine of Zhangjiakou competition area, Guo Yujie's first "Winter Olympics trip" also continuing.
