Six years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At the year of 2018’s Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.

On Feb 22th,2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.

“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.

But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres,3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.

Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

Because I'm a writer and book lover, others would naturally think that I started to like literature (文学) from an early age. Actually, I once saw reading as a frightening thing that would always be difficult. Then I discovered books that caught my imagination-stories like The Little House Series and A Little Princess. Can you imagine how a reluctant (不情愿的) reader became a book lover and later an author?

This row of books that changed my life now decorates my desk. These stories are so dear that they feel like part of me.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett—I began to think that if I looked carefully enough, I would find a secret garden in my backyard and bring it back to life.

A Friend in the Storm by Cheryl Ricker—This book of poetry got me through some of life's most difficult times.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl—This is the book that made me want to be a writer someday.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo—Inspired (鼓舞) by it, I wrote a three- part blog post for books, started giving it to kids as gifts, and still listed it as one of my favorite stories.

Every book in the row inspired, comforted, or challenged me. I know today that, while many are well-known titles and a few were written by not-so-famous authors, they all remind me that we can never know what we will do with our talents. What can we do? Just follow our hearts.

“How much does it cost to have my shoes shined?” A man in black stood in front of me and asked. Before I could answer, I had started brushing away on his shoes.

“How much do you make a week, boy?” he asked me again. I knew he was laughing at me. All the time I was wondering where I had seen the man. Suddenly I knew I had seen his picture in the post office many times. He was a big swindler—one who cheated money out of others, wanted by the police in many states.

“You know,” he was saying, “it’s imagination people lack. You’ll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy. Along with imagination, it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. When I was sixteen, I had made $2,500 of my own,” he kept talking away.

That’s when something reminded me. Was it $2,500 or $5,000 or $25,000? I wasn’t sure. I knew a big reward was offered for him.

But what could I do about it? Hit him with a can of shoe polish? A man his size could put me under his power easily.

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey coming across street. Then, very fast, I began to tie the man’s shoelaces together. The man was watching the officer. “That’s enough, boy!” he said, “I got to be going.”

The policeman was at the window when I shouted, “Officer Dailey, help! This man is a cheat.”

“Shut up,” the man said angrily. I saw a gun in his hand. He was starting to run away when he fell on his face and knocked himself out.

There was a reward of $7,500 for the man,” the officer said. “That’s clever of you.”

“Well, it really wasn’t my idea,” I said. “It was his …
