The 17-year-old Chinese diving athlete Quan Hongchan performed well in the Paris Olympics, successfully winning two gold medals in the women's 10-meter diving platform and the women's synchronized 10-meter diving platform, continuing her high popularity after the Tokyo Olympics. Many netizens affectionately called her "Chan Bao" and gave high praise and appreciation to her performance.

After the Paris Olympics, Quan Hongchan returned to Guangzhou to attend the 33rd Summer Olympics Guangdong Province Summary and Commendation Conference. In Guangzhou, she was photographed buying an iPhone 15 Pro Max at an Apple store to give to her mother.

On August 22, an employee of the Apple Store (Panyu Wanda Store) responded that Quan Hongchan did come to the store on the 21st to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max mobile phone. The official website price of this phone is 9999-13999 yuan.

The clerk replied to the netizen in the comment area: Quan Hongchan said she wanted to get a large memory card for her mother, and asked what was the best card when she came in. She looked familiar at first, and I knew who she was as soon as she spoke.

At the same time, the related topic quickly became the number one hot search on Weibo, sparking widespread discussion.

Although many people praised Quan Hongchan's filial piety and believed that her efforts to buy a high-end mobile phone for her mother were commendable, it also attracted a lot of controversy.

Some commentators believe that as a public figure, Quan Hongchan should support domestic brand Huawei instead of buying an Apple phone. Some netizens even criticized her for being "unpatriotic" and believed that her consumption choices were not in the interests of the country.

Regarding these controversies, some commentators pointed out that this is personal consumption freedom and outsiders should not interfere excessively. Some netizens said, "It's really hard to be an athlete. There are so many people watching when you buy a mobile phone." "It's too much. This is someone's freedom." On social media, discussions between the pros and cons frequently clashed.

On the eve of the Paris Olympics, Quan Hongchan's mother revealed in an interview that she was in poor health and regretted never being able to watch her daughter's competition in person, but was deeply pleased with her daughter's maturity and filial piety.

Quan Hongchan once said that the close attention and comments from the society made her feel very distressed. This pressure not only affected her life, but also may have a negative impact on her career.

Not long ago, Quan Hongchan was carrying a brown leather bag with a turtle parts bag hanging on it. Later, netizens found out that the bag was a Miumiu worth 26,400 yuan, and the turtle coin purse was a LV worth 7,400 yuan.

It can be said that her "net worth has skyrocketed", which has also caused many netizens to complain, thinking that she is no longer simple and has changed.

In fact, in the entire sports circle, wearing luxury goods is not uncommon. Wang Chuqin was also photographed wearing the same turtle pendant, but it did not attract much attention. Moreover, this small pendant is not very eye-catching when he is wearing luxury brands.

Moreover, Quan Hongchan is not the only one wearing luxury brands. When she went shopping with her teammates, she wore a 150-yuan Li-Ning T-shirt of the National Diving Team and a shopping bag with domestic prints on her shoulders.

In addition, he single-handedly made the "turtle duel" popular...

An authoritative media once published a commentary saying that, admittedly, as a public figure, Quan Hongchan's every move may be magnified and interpreted, but this does not mean that her personal choices should be morally kidnapped.

As far as consumer choices are concerned, which brand of mobile phone to buy is a personal free choice. It should be pointed out that excessive attention to the personal privacy of athletes and moral kidnapping will not only cause psychological pressure on them, but may also cause broader social problems.

Away from the field, athletes are ordinary people. Given such conditions, it is normal to wear whatever clothes they like. There is no rule or requirement that national team athletes can only wear cheap clothes;

After all, leaving the sports field, Quan Hongchan is just an ordinary 17-year-old girl.
