Cui Chenxi, 14, finished the Women's Skateboarding Street Final(滑板女子街式决赛) in fourth place at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics on July 28th. The sport was first played three years ago in Tokyo. And it is China's best result of this sport.
Cui comes from Jinan, Shandong Province. She has talent in sports. She once tried her hand at different sports: football, basketball, and table tennis. But finally it was skateboarding that won her heart.
Cui only began skateboarding in 2020. Her father let her try skateboarding. Then she fell in love with it. Within a year, she began winning at professional-level(专业级) events. In 2022, she won third place in the women's street event at the Shandong provincial games. She was soon on the provincial skateboarding team. In 2023, she made history by becoming China's youngest-ever Asian Games medalist(奖牌获得者) after winning gold(金牌) in the street skateboarding event in Hangzhou.

C
One lazy afternoon in a library, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing by the US writer Michael Meyer. The book caught my eye and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past.
Meyer's writing takes us back to Beijing about 20 years ago, In 2005, Meyer moved into Dashilan, one of Beijing's oldest neighbourhoods, on one of its hutongs. There he taught English at a local(当地的) school and lived with local people. This helped him to get close to the local culture. In the book, he describes the hutongs and the shouts of street sellers.
Meyer saw some of the great changes in this neighbourhood. The old houses made way for tall buildings, supermarkets and other modern(现代的) buildings. However, some parts of old Beijing's culture stay strong in the face of fast change. People still keep traditional activities like putting up Spring Festival couplets(对联) and eating traditional food on special days.
I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city's modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city. The life in the old neighbourhoods touched my heart. It made me think about how we can keep our traditional activities while also moving forward with changes.
