Inteviewer: What was it like to find yourself in the center of all this political discourse?
Liu: Ooh, am I?
Interviewer: I don't know if you feel you are, but there is all of this discourse around you and Eileen Gu. China and America are viewing you as like a liability or a hero.
Liu: Yes, I've seen that. I've known Eileen since I was 13 or something. We're from the Bay Area. She's super nice, and her mom is from China. I think people are hypocritical for shaming her for representing China. So in my head it's a bit hypocritical, because her mom is an immigrant. Y'all would have told her to go back to China. Now that they're back in China, you're mad. [Laughs] And it's sport, it doesn't matter what country we represent. Sport is sport, and she has a love for competition, she has love for the game. I think that's all that matters. There's no shame in going to where opportunity is.
One of my parents had all their properties and businesses confiscated when the communist party took control of the country when they were a child, and my other parent sold things off a cart on the streets to tourists as a kid
Both immigrated to UK with nothing. I was the first one in my family to graduate from highschool
I've been paying my own tuition and rent since I was 19 years old because my parents had 0 savings their entire lives paying off a 5% down payment mortgage working factory jobs
Moved to the US after graduation because UK wages are dirt
What about it
Good
