Recently, a photo of calloused (有茧子的) and blistered (起水疱的) hands is popular on the Internet. The photo left everyone in respect of the hard work a sportswoman put into her championship (冠军) win. Whose hands are in the photo? The owner of the hands is Zou Jiaqi. She and Qiu Xiuping won the first gold of the Hangzhou Asian Games on Sunday. 

Born in 2001, Zou Jiaqi was chosen by a Hangzhou City team coach in the fourth grade, starting her rowing journey. Just two years later, she won her first gold medal at the Hangzhou City Games. Rowing rules forbid the use of gloves. Her hands experienced long-term friction (摩擦) against the oars (桨), leading to blisters, bleeding, and finally calluses over time. Sometimes, with blistered hands, she had to continue training the next day. In this manner, Zou Jiaqi went to the Zhejiang province women’s lightweight rowing team, and then she successfully became a member of the national team.

Zou has won lots of national gold medals: in 2020, as part of the provincial team, she won the women’s lightweight 2,000 meters at the National Rowing Championships, and in 2021, she won the gold in the same category at the National Spring Rowing Championships. Then, she continued to win several more championships.

Zou Jiaqi and Qiu Xiuping are working hard to win the gold medal at next summer’s Paris Olympics.
