CRI听力:Fu Yuanhui: a walking emoji by the swimming pool in Rio

Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui hoped she'd wow the world with her backstroke. Instead she is blowing up the Chinese internet with her hilarious post-swim interviews, which have made her a viral superstar with millions of new fans in just two days.

Fu Yuanhui clocked 58.95 seconds in the women's 100 meter backstroke semi-finals. During the interview right afterwards, Fu herself could not believe how well she did, and expressed it with her totally unique style.

"Whoooaah! I was so fast!"

"I am very satisfied!!!"

"I didn't hold back! I used all of my force; I have absolutely given it my all!!!"

"That was my personal best! I spent three months trying to get back to my top form, and the devil knows what I went through. It was soooooo tiring. Sometimes I really felt like I was about to die. And honestly, when I was training in Australia, I might as well be dead. But with today's result, it's all worth it. I'm happy and content."

That clip quickly went viral on social media platform inside China and around the world. Her fans have since been creating emojis, videos and cartoons in her likeness. Her followers on Weibo, China's twitter-like social media platform, have climbed from about half million before the Rio Olympics to nearly 4.2 million 2 days later.

Some say everyone falls in love with her after seeing the interview.

Many celebrities including actor Jia Nailiang even produced imitations of Fu's interview.

On the next day, Fu earned a medal in the backstroke, tied in third place with a Canadian swimmer.

After the race, the 20-year-old seemed a little bit disappointed.

"I used all my force yesterday."

"The feeling I would like to share is, though I haven't got a medal, but…"

After being told she got a medal, a bronze, Fu returned to life again:

"What?! I came in third? I didn't know!"

"Oh, that is not bad! Ahhh, if so, I want to speak to the previous self who had struggled at the edge of desperation that all the persistence and hard work was not in vain. Though I am not the champion, I have exceeded myself time and time again. Well, though I'm having a cramp in the leg...I … feel … pretty…good…"

Fu's swimming career has had its ups and downs. She finished 8th in women's 100 meter backstroke at the London Olympics in 2012. But this year, she won women's 50 meter backstroke at the world swimming championships in Russia.

After being told she was just 0.01 second slower than the silver medal winner, Fu had a explanation ready:

"That was probably because my fingers are too short."

Just as Maxwell Strachan, Senior Editor of The Huffington Post said, no one is having a better time than this girl . And we can all now agree: This is Fu Yuanhui's Olympics. We're just watching it.

Fu Yuanhui, may force be with you, always.

For Cri, I am Chi Huiguang.
