I was scrolling through my phone during my morning coffee break when I came across this video - Zhang Boheng, the world champion gymnast, demonstrating eye exercises at the airport before heading to the World Championships. The way he seriously went through those familiar motions while waiting for his flight suddenly took me back to my middle school classroom.
Remember those mandatory eye exercise sessions between classes? The school bell would ring, and we'd all groan while pressing those acupuncture points around our eyes. Zhang's demonstration felt so authentic - his fingers pressing precisely at the temples, the serious expression on his face contrasting with the playful context. It's funny how something so mundane from our childhood can appear so heartwarming when performed by a world-class athlete.
What struck me most was the contrast - here's an athlete about to compete on the world stage, yet he's connecting with millions through this simple, universally understood gesture from our school days. The video comments were flooded with people sharing their own memories: 'This takes me back to when my desk mate would peek during exercises,' or 'My teacher used to walk around making sure we did it properly.'
Zhang is heading to his third World Championships, and he mentioned wanting to test new moves and difficulty levels. But watching him do those eye exercises, I couldn't help but think about the pressure these athletes carry. The casual airport moment somehow made him more relatable - beneath the champion exterior is someone who probably struggled through the same school routines we all did.
My cousin, who used to do competitive gymnastics before switching to coaching, told me once that these little moments of normalcy matter most before big competitions. 'The training is intense, the expectations are high, but it's these human moments that keep you grounded,' she said. Watching Zhang's video, I finally understood what she meant.
The video has been shared over 50,000 times already, with people from different countries commenting how they had similar eye protection routines in their schools. It's amazing how a simple act can bridge cultures and generations. Who would have thought that eye exercises - something we mostly complained about as kids - would become such a powerful nostalgic trigger?
As I finish writing this, I find myself unconsciously massaging my own eye sockets. Some habits really do stay with you for life. What about you? Did your school have mandatory eye exercises? And did you actually do them properly, or just go through the motions like most of us? Share your most memorable school routine story in the comments!
