Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

So I want to tell you, life is your own; don't live in the eyes of others, and don't let others define your life.

At this point, Tang Yu finished her speech, and the audience stood up and applauded. Sa Beining then walked over and spoke.

"Sister Yu is on this show today, and I think I'm going to lose my job as a host. You're not just a comedian in the tennis world, you can also blow us professionals out of the water as a host."

Tang Yu laughed after hearing this.

"The main problem is that no one discovered me to be a host back then. If I had met such a mentor back then, I would be the host of 'Let's Talk' today. You should thank me for playing tennis."

After the two finished speaking, the audience below was amused.

"Sister Yu just said that she has been walking on thin ice all her life and has been surrounded by controversy. Let's take a look at the top ten wonderful interviews summarized by our netizens."

After he finished speaking, the big screen played ten memorable moments of Tang Yu's verbal sparring with reporters over the past ten years.

There were interviews in Chinese, English, and even French. When faced with such difficult situations, Tang Yu would usually respond with a sarcastic retort.

"In these interviews, you didn't seem to be walking on thin ice; on the contrary, you were confident and assertive. It's said that a reporter cried after interviewing you."

Tang Yu nodded and smiled.

"He was a handsome young Frenchman. When I first saw him, I thought he looked quite friendly because he was good-looking. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he started to make things difficult for me and mock me. Of course, I wasn't going to hold back, so I attacked him from all sides."

These days, everyone has a mouth. Does that mean he's allowed to make things difficult for me, but I'm not allowed to mock him?

Furthermore, those people abroad don't value gentleness and politeness. When faced with difficult or controversial situations, if you avoid the topic or try to downplay the issue, they will only become more aggressive and escalate their attacks and smears against you.

With that topic settled, Sa Beining moved on to the next segment: audience questions.

"Sister Yu, you have many memorable interview moments, and you are fluent in English, French, and Spanish. I'm curious about how you learned foreign languages, considering how busy you are?"

This question prompted Sa Beining, who was standing nearby, to ask it as well.

"Are you particularly gifted in languages? After all, it seems you haven't had much time to specifically learn foreign languages ​​since you became a professional tennis player."

"I started learning English on my own after I started playing tennis, because most tennis matches are held abroad, and interviews are a regular occurrence."

If you don't know English, communication on the field is very difficult, which can also limit your career development.

As for learning other languages ​​later, because there were competitions in France and Spain, I found myself being interviewed and given difficult questions by reporters. When I responded in English, the translator couldn't accurately convey my harsh words, so I learned a few more languages, mainly for swearing.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, the audience laughed.

"Is this Tang's way of showing off? She learned multiple languages ​​just to retaliate. But Sister Yu, you still haven't answered the audience's question: how did you become so proficient in these languages?"

In response to Sa Beining's question again, Tang Yu smiled and spoke.

"If I say this, you'll probably think I'm showing off, since you're the only ones who've seen Sherlock, right?"

I'm not saying I have the ability of a memory palace, but I do have special memory methods that allow me to learn languages ​​exceptionally quickly.

Learning a few languages ​​is not difficult for me at all; it's much easier than math.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Sa Beining immediately demonstrated on the spot that he had been shot in the chest with an arrow.

"Did you hear that? Learning a few languages ​​is not difficult at all, much simpler than math."

However, Sister Yu also scored over 100 points on her math exams in middle school, so is scoring over 100 points in math the most unsuccessful experience of your life?

Tang Yu immediately laughed, feeling embarrassed.

"You can't say that, my cooking skills are pretty bad too."

"So you found a husband who's a great cook?"

Tang Yu laughed at Sa Beining's teasing.

"Being able to cook is just one of his minor advantages. If my only requirement for a husband is good cooking skills, I can just pick someone from a cooking competition."

For me, what's more precious than the warmth of everyday life is two souls who are equal and respectful, roaming side by side in the vast wilderness of the spirit.

Chapter 46 Tennis Entertainment

After answering the question, Sa Beining asked another audience member to stand up.

"Sister Yu, you have made history on the tennis court and become the best female athlete in history."

In your ten years on the field, winning has been commonplace, while losing has been a rare occurrence, so it seems that you have rarely encountered setbacks in your life.

So I'd like to ask you, before you became the strong and confident Sister Yu, did you ever have moments of inferiority and weakness? Were there ever moments when you doubted that you were on the wrong path?

After the question was asked, the audience applauded, and Tang Yu began to answer.

"To be honest, no, because when I chose to become an athlete, I thought I could win a world championship, and I started by learning badminton."

Later, when I became a tennis player, I found that I learned very quickly and was very good at participating in competitions, but at that time I didn't know what level I was at.

"It wasn't until I started playing in the Australian Open and winning the title that I realized I was truly among the world's top players, which gave me even more confidence."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Sa Beining was immediately amused, and the people below started asking questions again.

"If you had participated in the Australian Open and encountered a peerless genius with even greater talent than you, who defeated you in the first round, what would you have done?"

"I don't think I'll break down right away. Instead, I'll continue to compete and play against other players to see what ranking I can achieve in the end."

If I can reach the top ten in the world, I will continue to be a tennis player. If I can't even make it into the top ten, I will give up immediately.

For me, nothing in this world is difficult if I'm willing to give up. Tennis isn't my obsession; I don't believe I need to win a Grand Slam to feel fulfilled in my life.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Sa Beining, who was standing next to her, asked with a smile.

"So you've never had a moment of feeling inferior in your entire life?"

"No, that's true. Since I started elementary school, my grades have been very good, and my teachers and classmates all like me."

As I grew up, I discovered I was quite beautiful, athletically gifted, and quick at learning new things. I really don't know what I should be insecure about.

"So have you ever encountered people who suppress you or look down on you? These people have never affected you."

Upon hearing Sa Beining's question, Tang Yu answered without hesitation.

"Of course there are such people, there are plenty of them, but I understood when I was a child that I am not RMB, how could everyone like me? So I just consider those who hate me to be blind."

While arrogance and overconfidence are a kind of illness, I'd rather be narcissistic than feel inferior and think I don't deserve good people and things.

After that question was answered, another audience member stood up to ask a question.

"Netizens once jokingly said that your life over the past 20 years is a typical example of a beautiful, strong, and tragic life. You had an unhappy childhood and suffered a car accident after achieving success in your career. However, these hardships did not defeat you. Instead, they made you stronger."

But you never talk about these hardships in front of the media, and you always face life with a positive and optimistic attitude. I'm very curious, how did you cultivate such a strong and optimistic mindset?

Tang Yu paused for a moment, and then spoke like this.

"Part of it is my innate positivity and optimism; I've been a very strong person since I was a child. Another reason is the compulsory education."

If I hadn't gone to school, I think my life would have been a complete mess, because I wouldn't know right from wrong, and I wouldn't understand what our society is made of.

"For example, my family favored boys over girls. If I had never gone to school and studied, I would never have known the reason for this preference."

When productivity was underdeveloped, men were able to own land, a means of production, and pass it down from generation to generation, while girls could not inherit clan property or be allocated land. This was determined by the economic base.

After entering industrial society, we women were liberated. We were able to leave the home to work and also owned the means of production, so we were entitled to pursue fairness.

When you understand the truth of society, you will no longer doubt that you are disliked because you are a girl. You just live in this era, and some people have not yet kept up with the pace of development.

So sometimes I don't feel strong resentment towards these emotions; they are people who have been eliminated by the times.

I can't lead them to progress; I can only ensure that I keep up with the times.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, the audience erupted in applause, and Sa Beining asked a question from the side.

So you've let go of your resentment towards your family?

"Without hatred, there is naturally no love either. They are just a few annoying people. In fact, hating someone takes a lot of energy and emotion. Not caring is actually a relief."

After answering that question, another audience member asked a question.

"You just mentioned the preference for sons over daughters, but in today's society, we still haven't achieved true equality. Instead, people are arguing even more fiercely online. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Many years ago, no one listened to women. Many progressive ideas that were put forward at that time were considered rebellious and were then ruthlessly suppressed and obliterated."

So sometimes arguing is a right. When you can discuss with everyone on a formal media platform how women should fight for fairness, that is already a step forward.

Don't think that arguments mean a decline in our power. In fact, in a stable environment, progressive ideas, such as the workplace fairness that women pursue, are often suppressed and obliterated.

Take tennis for example. In fact, female athletes have only recently proposed equal pay for men and women. Previously, male athletes' bonuses were higher than those of female athletes.

So over the years, our female athletes have been fighting for their rights, going through countless protests and negotiations until they finally forced them to change the rules.

Isn't it surprising that equal pay for men and women in the world of tennis has only been achieved in recent years?

The audience below laughed, and Tang Yu continued speaking.

"Therefore, controversy is not terrible, and differences of opinion are normal, because one's position determines one's perspective, and a conservative environment will suppress more advanced ideas."

So the heated debate is a good thing, because everyone is fighting for their rights. Since everyone's thinking is progressing, the future will naturally be better.

However, society is in a spiral of progress, so there will be ups and downs. There is no need to be overly anxious, because we have several decades in our lives.

Just like the economic cycle, it's impossible for the economy to always be in an upward phase. The downward phase will naturally be more difficult and the struggle will be more intense, but this is a normal phenomenon.

As long as the direction is right, the future is bright.

When this episode aired, Tang Yu and Tang Jing had already arrived at the French Open as spectators.

After competing for so many years, Tang Yu really wanted to experience being a spectator.

So while she was watching the game in France, netizens had already finished watching the program and started discussing it enthusiastically.

Chapter 47 Tennis Entertainment

"After watching this episode, I immediately searched for pictures of Sister Yu on the field. She's so strong, really so strong."

No wonder Sister Yu has so many fans; you really fall in love with her after watching just a few matches!

"I don't actually know anything about tennis, but after watching this episode, I became a fan. Such a strong and confident personality is truly shining."

"Sister Yu has a lot of fans. She has won over haters into true fans many times. Over the past ten years, many reporters who were once haters have become true fans."

When Sister Yu retired last year, the group of reporters burst into tears and showered her with praise for her achievements!
