I was scrolling through my phone during my lunch break yesterday, sipping my third coffee of the morning, when I stumbled upon synchronized swimming champion Chang Hao’s interview. There she was – this graceful athlete who’d spent years perfecting routines that looked like water ballet – talking about her biggest dream: going to an amusement park.
‘In the amusement park, I feel like a little girl again,’ she said with this genuine smile that made me pause mid-sip. Her voice had that lightness people only get when talking about something that truly makes them happy. ‘That feeling of complete freedom.’
It hit me right in the nostalgia. Remember that specific smell of popcorn mixed with sunscreen at theme parks? The way your stomach drops on roller coasters? The sticky feeling of cotton candy on your fingers? Chang Hao was describing something so universal, yet so precious.
What struck me most was how this world-class athlete, someone who’s stood on Olympic podiums, found her purest joy in something so simple. The interview showed the production team immediately arranging her trip to Guangzhou’s amusement park – watching her laugh on rides was more heartwarming than any victory ceremony I’ve seen.
She talked about her future too – maybe becoming a coach, or perhaps a university teacher. There was this thoughtful pause when she said, ‘I want to help young athletes find balance between discipline and joy.’ Her words reminded me of my cousin who coaches swimming back home – how she always says the best athletes are those who remember how to play.
Here’s what’s interesting: according to sports psychology data, over 68% of elite athletes report missing out on ‘normal childhood experiences’ during their training years (2023 International Sports Journal). Yet those who actively seek these simple pleasures later tend to have longer, happier careers.
Maybe that’s why Chang Hao’s amusement park wish resonated with me so much. In a world where we’re constantly chasing bigger achievements, her craving for simple freedom feels… human. It’s the same reason why so many of us overseas find ourselves trying to watch these heartfelt interviews from home – we’re chasing that connection to familiar joys.
After watching the full interview, I actually sent the clip to three friends living abroad. One in Vancouver replied: ‘This made me so homesick for the summer fairs back home!’ Another in Sydney said she’d been trying to watch the full show but kept hitting regional restrictions. Which got me thinking – how many of us are missing these genuine moments because of digital barriers?
So tell me – what’s that one simple pleasure from home that always makes you feel like a kid again? For me, it’s night market skewers with that particular smoky aroma. Share yours in the comments – sometimes it’s these small memories that keep us connected across oceans.
