For Taiwanese weightlifter Kuo Hsing-chun (郭婞淳), winning a gold medal at the #TokyoOlympics on Tuesday should have been the pinnacle of a storied career, and yet she felt a mixed bag of emotions.

It is an Old Story, that happened by chance.
Along a narrow alleyway, in the most ancient district of Tainan City, is an old blue building called Chi Kan West House. It is a fusion of classic Taiwanese and Western styles, having traditional octagonal windows embellished with silver frames and ironwork.
Chi Kan West House is not just the resurrection of an old building back to its heyday, but more the voice of an opera,singer vocalizing a 94-year-old song of Tainan and the inheritance of a culture.
Chi Kan West House is a four and a half-storied blue building hidden in a narrow alleyway of the prefectural city of Tainan. It is a blend of Taiwanese and Western architecture. When stage one was constructed in 1924 it was one story tall but in 1953 stories were added to become the second tallest building in the city, Hayashi Department Store being the first.
The building’s renovation into a four-story building was because of the filial piety of the Hong Family brothers for their mother. She was not only elderly, but also had bound feet, and the location and height of Chikan enabled her to watch the Taiwanese Operas performed on stage at Fort Provintia.
However, time goes by, and all good shows must end. Eventually, this old house became a long-neglected building with its elegance fading away.
It was not until 2014, under strange and unimaginable circumstances that a married couple bought the old house. With a large investment, exceeding their budget, they insisted on refurbishing instead of demolishing it. To preserve it, they had to recruit local elderly masters whose carpentry skills will soon to be lost. It was finally restored into a historical site, embellishing again the glory of its original appearance. Now Chi Kan West House is again unique among its contemporaries not only reborn, but also revitalizing its neighborhood.

In the 2000-01 season, Allen Iverson won the lone MVP of his storied career.

When it was all said and done for Allen Iverson's NBA career, he amassed quite the list of accomplishments. From scoring (24,368 points, 25th all-time) to his place in Philadelphia 76ers lore (where he is among the all-time leader in several categories) to playoff runs (guiding the Sixers to a 2001 Finals berth) and more, Iverson left a legacy in crafting his Hall of Fame career.

As he traveled his NBA path, though, perhaps no season was more emblematic of Iverson's ways than the 2000-01 campaign. On May 15, 2001, Allen Iverson became the first 76ers player to win MVP honors since Moses Malone in 1983. Iverson totaled 1,121 points and received 93 of a possible 124 first-place votes. Tim Duncan of the Spurs (706 points, 18 first-place votes) and Shaquille O’Neal of the Lakers (578 votes, five first-place votes) trailed him in the final voting.

Listed at 6 feet and 165 pounds, Iverson is one of the smallest players to ever win MVP honors. During that 2000-01 season, Iverson led the NBA in scoring (31.1 ppg) while helping Philadelphia to an Eastern Conference-best 56 victories, the most for the franchise since 1985, and their first Atlantic Division title since 1990.

He lead the NBA in steals (2.51 a game) and minutes played (42.0 a game), becoming the first player since Michael Jordan in 1992-93 to lead the league in points and steals per game.

“I had no space for error. But I never stopped and worked on all the things people said I couldn't do and now I'm the MVP of the league. It's something I always wanted," Iverson said after receiving the award.
