xinhua news agency, shanghai, september 12 (reporter xu dongyuan wu zhendong) chen yuxi, the gold medalist in the women's 10-meter platform diving at the paris olympics, returned to her alma mater, guangqi primary school in xuhui district, shanghai, on the 12th. in an interview with reporters, chen yuxi said: "there is no prescribed route or 'prescribed action' in life. everyone has to make their own way in life. if you have a dream, you should chase it yourself."

the campus event also invited olympic champions, guangqi primary school alumni wu minxia and huo liang, as well as 14 athletes. at the event, chen yuxi shared three key words with her juniors: dream, persistence and passion. "i remember when i was a kid, when sister wu minxia came back to school, i sat down and looked at her with envy, 'i want to be a champion, too.' the first step to a dream is to dare to think and not set limits for yourself."

facing the challenge, chen yuxi gave her own answer: "the diving process is boring and repetitive. standing on the 10-meter diving platform, it is so quiet that only your heartbeat remains. slight changes in movements and fluctuations in mentality will produce different results. there will be failures when there is success. only by going all out with passion, focusing on every moment of the present, and constantly surpassing yourself can you achieve success."

"diving is shanghai's advantage. as the eldest sister, i need to continue to work hard, just like wu minxia inspired me to pursue my dreams. younger team members must also shoulder their responsibilities and fulfill their missions." chen yuxi said, "shanghai diving can continue to produce talents because shanghai has a good sports talent training system and living security. even when participating in high-intensity training, shanghai athletes have not fallen behind in cultural learning, and the integration of sports and education has been great."
