When My Sister Asked What I Admire About Her, My Mind Went Blank – And It Made Me Think of Every Sibling Rivalry

I was scrolling through my phone during my morning coffee break when I stumbled upon this interview clip – two sisters, both professional basketball players, sitting across from each other. The interviewer asks Yang Shuyu what she admires most about her older sister Yang Liwei, and without missing a beat, she says ‘resilience.’

When My Sister Asked What I Admire About Her, My Mind Went Blank - And It Made Me Think of Every Sibling Rivalry

Then comes the older sister’s turn. The camera pans to Yang Liwei, and there’s this beautiful, awkward pause. You can practically see the gears turning in her head. She finally breaks the silence with ‘Maybe I’m just not cultured enough, but I can’t think of anything.’

What happens next is pure sibling gold. The younger sister immediately calls her out: ‘She just doesn’t have anything to admire about me.’ The older sister raises her hand like she’s in classroom, promising to think about it properly for next time.

Watching this, I nearly spilled my coffee laughing. It took me right back to last Thanksgiving when my own younger sister asked me what I appreciated about her, and I drew a complete blank for a solid thirty seconds. There’s something about family that makes the simplest questions the hardest to answer.

The way Yang Liwei’s eyes darted around the room, the slight smile playing on her lips even as she struggled for words – it felt so familiar. It’s not that she doesn’t admire her sister; it’s that when you’ve known someone your entire life, their qualities become as natural as breathing. How do you pick just one thing?

I remember reading somewhere that sibling relationships are the longest relationships most people have in their lives. These two have probably been competing and supporting each other since they could walk. The younger sister’s immediate answer shows she’s probably thought about this before, while the older sister’s hesitation feels so genuine.

What struck me most was the complete lack of pretense. In an era where everyone’s carefully curating their social media image, here were two professional athletes being completely real about their relationship. No forced compliments, no rehearsed answers – just the messy, honest truth of sibling dynamics.

After sharing this clip with my friends group chat, my friend Lisa from Vancouver immediately responded: ‘This is exactly how my brother and I are! We’ll defend each other to the death against outsiders, but between us? Pure chaos and brutal honesty.’

Maybe that’s the beauty of it – the people who know us best don’t need us to articulate our admiration. It’s in the way Yang Liwei probably passes the ball to her sister during games, or how they’ve navigated the pressure of both being professional athletes. The unspoken understanding matters more than the perfect answer.

So to Yang Liwei – I feel you. Sometimes the people closest to us are the hardest to describe. And to everyone who’s ever struggled to answer a simple question about their siblings: you’re not alone. What’s your favorite sibling moment that’s both hilarious and heartwarming? Share your stories below!
