[quote=GUEST1686,313832]Chinese athletes received nation-wide acclaim for their superb performance in the Olympic events. Chinese netizens showed their admiration to the Chinese gold medalists. Some popular sayings are” Zhang Xiangxiang ( Olympic champion of weight-lifting) is the right one that evey woman should marry.” “Liu Zige ( gold medalist of 200m butterfly swimming), I want to marry you.” Displaying affection to the Olympic champions is a popular way of recogonizing the athletes’ achievement.  Some sociologists said that displaying affection to Olympic champions is a manifestation of patriotism. Others questioned if displaying affection to Olympic champions equals patriotism. How about those who do not show their affection to Olympic champions? They are not patriotic? How about those who display their affection to foreign athletes? Are they quislings? Some netizens just condemned the former volleyball player Lang Ping as traitor because she coached the USA Women’s Volleyball Team and defeated Chinese women’s volleyball team on Friday’s night. Lang Ping was national icon in 1980s and 1990s China. She was the leader of Chinese Women’s Vollyball team in 1980s when the team won five consecutive champion’s titles in the world. Patriotism seems to have been misunderstood and narrowed. How do you define “ patriots” and “ traitors”?[/quote]
