[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Nagoya Report] High jumper Fu Zhaoxuan jumped 2.25 meters to tie his personal best of the season in the Nagoya Asian Games final today, winning Taiwan's men's track and field gold medal in the Asian Games for the first time in 60 years, and earning a bonus of 4.5 million yuan. , plus the gold medal bonus of US$2,000 (approximately NT$63,000) given by the Chinese Olympic Games Chairman Cai Jiafu, and the 300,000 yuan specially awarded by Chairman Ye Zhengyan of the Athletics Association. He also expects to use this bonus as a filial piety payment to thank his family for their support all the way.
Asian Games gold medals can earn NT$3 million in national bonuses, and track and field, swimming, and gymnastics events will receive an additional 0.5 times bonus. Therefore, Fu Zhaoxuan's team's first Asian Games high jump gold medal can earn NT$4.5 million in bonuses. If the bonus is included, it will be close to NT$5 million. He said that he has not yet figured out how to use it, but most of it will be used as filial piety expenses. "I want to share the bonus with my family to see how we can improve our lives, and then I will be happier like this."
In the past, when I competed in Taiwan, my family would take time to attend the competition to support me. This time I also went to Nagoya to watch the competition. Fu Zhaoxuan said: "I have found that in these competitions where my mother and others came, I would dance better. It just happened that they came today so that I could win the gold medal. This is the first time that my mother came to see me in an international competition. Fortunately, she showed some strength."
