Decades later, his daughter, Alyssa Liu, became the face of Team USA.
But the CCP didn't forget.
Before the 2020 Beijing Olympics, the FBI uncovered a brazen spying operation.
The target?
Alyssa and her father.
The Chinese government tried to stalk them on U.S.
soil, intimidate her into silence, pressure her to turn her back on the country that gave her family refuge.
The FBI had to give them 24-7 security just so she could compete.
Isn't that amazing?
She faced intimidation.
She refused to be a pawn.
She walked away from the sport for two years to find her soul again.
And then she came back with a vengeance.
Today, the story is complete.
In a flawless performance to Donna Summer's MacArthur Park, Alyssa Liu just did the impossible.
Olympic gold.
The first American woman to win individual gold in 24 years.
She didn't just skate for a medal.
She skated for the freedom her father risked everything for.
She didn't just win for herself.
