In 2010, the 43-year-old basketball "female giant" Zheng Haixia and Xu Qinghua held a wedding and entered the palace of marriage.
For the 2-meter-06 women's basketball celebrity born in 1967 in Renzhuang Village, Zhecheng County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, this love is indeed not easy to come by.
Zheng Haixia said: "Although my feet are bigger and my voice is thicker, no matter how tall I am, I am also a woman." "Like many girls who love to be pretty, she also loves to wear small ornaments, jade, red ribbons, gold chains... Both wrists are covered with trinkets. She also loves beautiful clothes and high-end cosmetics, and when she can't buy clothes of the right size, she goes to make them. Zheng Haixia on the field is a legend; however, like all the girls under the sky, she also longs for a love of her own after the success of her career.
On December 15, 1992, China Sports News published a large photograph on one page titled "Visiting Relatives", with Zheng Haixia on the right and a young man on the left. The photo is also accompanied by an explanatory text: "Women's basketball center Zheng Haixia recently returned to China University of Science and Technology to 'visit relatives', and was warmly admired by teachers and students." Hai Fan talked and laughed, but her boyfriend, Wang Chuanwen, a student of the school's economics department, was a little shy. This is the first time that the outside world has disclosed that Zheng Haixia has a "crush", and this news has also made countless people who care about the Chinese women's basketball team and Zheng Haixia fall to the ground.
Wang Chuanwen was Zheng Haixia's first "yiren". The boy, who was the same age as her and was also born in the countryside, dropped out of school and went to the factory after graduating from elementary school.
In 1987, Zhou Mingyou, the coach of the basketball team of the Xiangyang County Taxation Bureau, met Wang Chuanwen, who was playing "wild ball", and was attracted by this well-proportioned and responsive young man. Although Wang Chuanwen, who was 19 years old at the time, was not very tall, he had a pair of large hands like a fan, and the ball sense was excellent. This discerning grassroots coach believes that Wang Chuanwen is a good seedling. Since then, Wang Chuanwen has become a disciple of Coach Zhou and began arduous training.
Wang Chuanwen did not live up to Zhou Mingyou's painstaking heart. A year later, he entered the Hubei youth basketball team. However, Wang Chuanwen did not expect that he would have a relationship with Zheng Haixia, who had already emerged on the basketball court, next.
The Hubei Provincial Sports Committee has a retired women's basketball team member, who is also Zheng Haixia's teammate Xu Chunmei. Although Xu Chunmei retired, her heart is still worried about the national women's basketball team and her former teammates. Especially her good friend, Zheng Haixia, who is still in the boudoir.
In 1990, Xu Chunmei watched a training session of the Hubei Youth Team, and Wang Chuanwen's hard work style and simple character attracted Xu Chunmei's attention. Xu Chunmei secretly conducted an "investigation" of Wang Chuanwen and found that this 2.07-meter young man loved basketball, was honest and trained hard, so he had the idea of matching Zheng Haixia.
In 1991, in preparation for the Fourth National University of Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology specially recruited Wang Chuanwen to Huazhong University of Science and Technology and became a student of this famous school now called "Huazhong University of Science and Technology".
Coincidentally, Xu Chunmei's brother-in-law, Liu Zhenping, was working on the basketball team of Huazhong University of Science and Technology at the time. With the help of Liu Zhenping, Xu Chunmei revealed to Wang Chuanwen the idea of introducing him to Zheng Haixia. Wang Chuanwen did not believe it at first, and only agreed after several confirmations - because he has always been a fan of Haixia and is full of admiration for the first center of the women's basketball team.
After Xu Chunmei's two sides of the matchmaking, Zheng Haixia and Wang Chuanwen had a certain understanding. On This year's National Day, Xu Chunmei said to Wang Chuanwen: "Don't you still write a letter to Haixia?" The next day, Wang Chuanwen plucked up his courage and wrote a love letter to the Eight-One Workers Brigade, shooting Cupid's arrow at Haixia.
Soon, Wang Chuanwen received a reply from Haixia, and from then on, the two began to pass on the book and began their romance.
Don't look at Zheng Haixia's earth field to kill four parties, but the field is a careful girl. She had been communicating with Wang Chuanwen for several months, but because she was too busy with her training competition, she had not yet met Wang Chuanwen. So when she returned from the Barcelona Olympics, she invited Wang Chuanwen to beijing to meet, and the two could spend a few days face to face to see if it was appropriate.
After Wang Chuanwen arrived in Beijing, Haixia pushed away all socializing and accompanied Wang Chuanwen for 13 days, until the "Bayi" women's basketball team trained again, which sent Wang Chuanwen back to Hubei.
For more than a year after that, Haixia would come to Wuhan to visit Wang Chuanwen whenever she had time. Once a reporter took a photo of them together, Wang Chuanwen and Zheng Haixia's love affair was exposed, and Wang Chuanwen also became a "celebrity".
In the Hubei Provincial Men's Basketball Competition in April 1993, Wang Chuanwen did not perform well. Haixia "hates iron not steel" and couldn't help but complain a few words on the phone. This made Wang Chuanwen feel particularly stressed. At that time, Wang Chuanwen was also a "celebrity", he was bent on proving himself in front of Haixia, but the more this mentality, the more he played the game, the more he suffered from gains and losses, and his performance was naturally not very ideal. Whenever Haixia gave him advice, perhaps out of the man's face, Wang Chuanwen could not fully accept it, and the two also broke out several times.
Maybe because Zheng Haixia is too outstanding, this love still has not come to the end. It was Wang Chuanwen who took the initiative to break up, and he wrote the last letter to Haixia. In the letter he painted a painting: a large tree with a small grass under it. Haixia understood him very well, and he had been under great pressure since he had fallen in love with himself; perhaps all he wanted was a simple love. As a man, you definitely don't want to live in the shadow of a woman.
This failed feeling made Haixia hide in her own "shell", and for a long time, she did not recover. Although there was a German young man who always followed the footsteps of the Chinese women's basketball team during the period, as long as there was Haixia's game to watch, after watching the game, they would also hold up a sign outside the gymnasium with a "Zheng Haixia, I love you" and waited bitterly, but Haixia believed that the cultural background of the two had a big difference, coupled with the language barrier, or rejected the young man.
In 1998, after retiring from joining the Los Angeles Sparks, Zheng Made a home in Beijing. She brought her family to Beijing, and her loneliness was much lessened.
Although Haixia is tall and tall, she is a girl with a skillful mind. She decorated her home in Beijing very warmly and learned to knit sweaters and cross stitches. She had pierced her ears, tattooed eyeliner, and always liked to wear floral skirts when she wasn't training. She said in the program "Lu Yu Has a Date": "A woman, financially independent, in good spirits, and some fans, can laugh out loud in dreams." Although I am not married, I will still live carefully and meticulously, waiting for the favor of love. ”
Haixia did not know at this time, just as she said these words to Lu Yu, in distant Shenzhen, there was a man in front of the TV, looking at her without blinking.
The man, Xu Qinghua, was 46 years old at the time, 1.90 meters tall, born in Harbin, was a former basketball player of Henan Pingdingshan Sports School, and Zheng Haixia was half a fellow villager, who was working in the Henan Provincial Government Office in Shenzhen at the time.
Xu Qinghua is serious about love and righteousness, frank and simple, but because the family conditions are not very good, he has not found the object of his choice. Although his family and friends did not introduce him less, he always felt nothing.
Until this day, Xu Qinghua saw a different Zheng Haixia on TV, he woke up like a dream, it turned out that his crush was this women's basketball overlord!
Xu Qinghua already knew Zheng Haixia and liked Zheng Haixia, and even he had done some homework in Haixia. All this is due to an old man named Guo Shaowen in Harbin.
In August 1995, Zheng Haixia, who disappeared from the basketball court for more than half a year due to injury, reappeared on the court of the 16th Asian Women's Basketball Championship, and the world was shocked. Haixia was able to come out so quickly, in the interest of Guo Shaowen, a distant relative of Xu Qinghua's family.
In February 1995, Haixia suffered a waist injury during sports and had the idea of retiring. Guo Shaowen, who read this report, remembered his family's ancestral secret recipe for treating bruises.
The Guo family has been practicing medicine for generations and has a secret recipe for treating bruises. Guo Shaowen, who loves women's basketball and also likes Haixia, saw this news and thought that it is not easy for the country to cultivate Haixia, and he wonders if this secret recipe of his family can treat her?
Guo Shaowen told his wife about his thoughts. The wife was a little worried and said: "Zheng Haixia is a celebrity, can people believe you?" What if it doesn't work out?" Guo Shaowen then wrote a letter to Haixia. Zheng Haixia, who received the letter, was touched by this unknown old man, and she immediately wrote a reply to Guo Shaowen: her waist injury was serious, and the doctor suggested that she have surgery, but she was worried that the operation would adversely affect her basketball career. Haixia said that she believed the old man and hoped that he would send medicine as soon as possible.
After receiving Haixia's reply, Guo Shaowen immediately prepared the medicine and handed it to Zheng Haixia with an express mail to send it. After taking it for two weeks, Haixia felt that the pain and numbness had improved significantly, and immediately wrote to Guo Shaowen that she was full of confidence in returning to the field and hoped that the old man would send her some medicine. Guo Shaowen was overjoyed and sent 30 packs of Chinese medicine to Beijing.
After taking these medicines, Haixia's illness miraculously improved. She had promised the old man in the letter that she would definitely go to Harbin to visit Guo Shaowen, but she was too busy to invite Guo Shaowen to beijing to meet and thank him in person.
After Guo Shaowen received the letter, he took his wife and also brought his hometown specialty Qiulin bread and red sausage to Haixia's residence. Haixia tightly held the old man's hands and cried out one by one, like a father and daughter.
After staying for two days, the old man was leaving. Haixia prepared many Beijing specialties for the old man and gave him a signed basketball of his own as a souvenir. This brand-new basketball reads: "Give Guo Shaowen's father, the kindness is unforgettable, and the friendship lasts forever." Love daughter Haixia. ”
After returning to Harbin, the old man was very proud and told this story of him and Haixia. Of course, he also told this story to Xu Qinghua, who was related.
At that time, Xu Qinghua was deeply attracted to Zheng Haixia, liked Zheng Haixia's excellent skills, and liked her trademark smile even more. After learning this story of Guo Shaowen and Haixia, he felt that the opportunity had come.
Sure enough, with the help of Guo Shaowen, Xu Qinghua plucked up the courage to write a long letter to Zheng Haixia and expressed his heart. Subsequently, the two contacted each other every day through letters and the Internet, and gradually established a relationship.
Although there are more than 2,000 kilometers from Shenzhen to Beijing, every month, Xu Qinghua will go to Beijing once to express his love to Zheng Haixia, and the two enjoy the romantic world of two.
In October 2009, Xu Qinghua took a one-carat diamond ring and invited Haixia to a romantic golf restaurant. The grass outside the window is green, and in the soft song surround sound, Xu Qinghua takes out a diamond ring and proposes to Haixia. Haixia accepted the diamond ring with a red face.
At the end of January 2010, the two officially entered the palace of marriage. At the wedding scene, Zheng Haixia and the groom Xu Qinghua kissed happily, and Xu Qinghua said with emotion: "Haixia and I have jointly formed a home, which makes us feel unprecedented happiness and stability." Haixia and I will work hard for our family, and happiness is in our own hands. ”
After marriage, Haixia will always be the protagonist of the family, Xu Qinghua is willing to be her supporting role, and does not feel any discomfort because of the yin and yang. He said that he liked his current role, had been mentally prepared, and was willing to be Haixia's "green leaf" for a lifetime.
Haixia is also very careful and knows that Xu Qinghua is thinking about everywhere. Once, in an interview, the host asked her: "Who in charge of money in your family?" Haixia smiled and said, "He manages all the money in the family." ”
Although the status of the two people is somewhat different, Haixia said that she is no different from other families, she only wants to live her own small life, and does not want to be disturbed too much by the outside world.
Finally, it is said that Haixia and Xu Qinghua will also have a small friction, whenever this happens, Haixia will always say to her husband: "Your feet are so much smaller than mine, can't you listen to me?" Whenever this happened, Xu Qinghua always shook his head helplessly - who made his wife's feet bigger than his own?
