There are beautiful people in the generation, scattered in the grass and trees, but when they see the new people laughing, they smell the old people crying. Women's table tennis has Liu Shiwen, female feathers have Wang Shixian, the same fate, different life. The reason why he retired at the beginning, Wang Shixian explained, was mainly due to two reasons, one was that he was physically injured, and the other was that he felt that he was older.
Retirement at peak age
In 2010, the 20-year-old Wang Shixian reached the asian games women's singles final and successfully won the championship, becoming the hope star of the national feather. In 2011, Wang Shixian helped Guoyu win the Uber Cup and became a world champion.
In 2012, Wang Shixian, who was in the ascendancy, was very eager to stand on the field of the London Olympic Games. At the 2012 London Olympics points event, an association could have up to three places in the women's singles event, provided it was in the top four in the world. At the end of the points race, Wang Yihan, Wang Xin, Wang Shixian and Li Xuerui were in the top four. In the end, Wang Shixian, who ranked third, was replaced by Li Xuerui because of poor foreign competition results, and missed the Olympic Games for the first time.
At the Rio Olympics, the BWF adjusts the number of individual Olympic entries, and the top eight of each association can have a full quota of two people. At the end of the points race, Li Xuerui, Wang Yihan and Wang Shixian ranked in the top eight, and Wang Shixian ranked last of the three, once again passing by the Olympic Games.
After the Rio Olympics, Wang Shixian chose to retire from the national team, when she was only 26 years old and at the peak of her career. After the 2017 National Games, Wang Shixian officially retired from the army and completely returned to family life.
It's a joy to marry a teammate
Due to missing the Olympic Games many times, Wang Shixian was discouraged and retired to marry. On November 27, 2017, after participating in the Hong Kong Open and finishing second in the men's singles, Chen Long did not return to Beijing, but went to Xiamen.
This was because Chen Long wanted to propose to Wang Shixian in Xiamen, and Wang Shixian was completely unaware, when Chen Long was in a Western restaurant in Xiamen, many friends knelt down on one knee to propose in full view, Wang Shixian was suddenly frightened and did not expect it at all. She shed tears of excitement and kissed Chen Long passionately, and for this day, she waited for 10 years. After getting married, Wang Shixian gave birth to her son "Little Coffee" on June 22, 2019, and Chen Long and Wang Shixian were officially promoted to parents.
The woman behind the husband
At the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Long won the silver medal in the men's singles, and After the match, Wang Shixian also left the country when he connected to the domestic live interview. The reporter asked the two about the second and third children's ideas, and whether Chen Long would continue to insist, although the two did not give a clear reply, but depending on the situation, Chen Long will at least participate in the next National Games.
In fact, the reason why Chen Long can prepare for the game without scruples is because Wang Shixian supports him behind his back, handles family affairs for her, and takes care of her son. Therefore, although Wang Shixian did not have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games in her career, Chen Long's Olympic medal definitely has a credit to Wang Shixian!
