Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting

The missing place--family

Their parents worked in a factory, so the whole family led a simple life. They lived in a house smaller than 30 square meters for many decades. Recently, their lives have improved with the help of the girls.

The two girls are filial to their parents. They always buy them gifts when competing abroad. In Doha, Wen brought a tie for her father and Ting chose high-quality cosmetics for her mother. When talking about their family, the sisters felt a little sad because they have not spent a Spring Festival Holiday with their parents in four years. They have a deep affection for their family. "I called my mother as soon as I came back from Doha. When hearing her voice, I was so homesick that I could not hold back my tears," Wen told us emotionally.

This year, they will not have the chance to spend the Spring Festival Holiday with their parents again. To prepare for the World Swim Championship next year, they have to immerse themselves in intense training.

For them, family has gradually become a concept, a direction, a dish or a gust of wind. When talking about their family, they suddenly became silent and thought for a while. Their eyes told us how much they missed their parents.
