The Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui, known in the country for the "walking expression package", appeared at CCTV's annual Spring Festival Gala, the
Most watched television program in China.
Fu Yuanhui is a China's swimmer. She came third in Women's 100-meter backstroke(仰泳) finals at Rio Olympics in 2016. People became crazy about the 1996-borm girl, not because of her performance or her achievement, but because of her cheerful answers.
Finishing the 100- meter backstroke with 58. 95 seconds, Fu thought it was 59 seconds, and she was quite surprised with the result. This was the first moment when she impressed Chinese audience(观众) with her surprising look and body language in front of the camera. The second time was her honest and direct answer to the question: "We know that your body condition was not that good in the past year and it's not easy to have such a result. Do you think you are now as good as before?" "It is my best score ever. I have worked for three months on the recovery(康复). Only the ghost knows, what I have come through," said Fu. "It was so painstaking that sometimes I felt like I was going to die."
In the interview, Fu used a phrase "Hong Huang Zhi Li" to describe the great efforts she had made. The word soon became a popular word on the Internet.
