In the Chinese sports world, there has never been a shortage of brave women.
I saw an interview two days ago, interviewed by Wang Qiang, a famous Chinese tennis player.
If you are not familiar with this name, then you should have heard of "beautiful rose", "tennis beautiful girl" and other titles.
I remember her saying in an interview: "Nothing will easily succeed, it needs to be firm, and it needs to be hard work."
Yes, it needs to be firm, it needs to work hard, and this sentence also applies to Liu Hong.
Wang Qiang is after 90, and Liu Hong is after 80.
Liu Hong, everyone may be more familiar with it, the athletes of the mother's generation, looking at the sports world, there are very few like her.
At that time, the sisters around her retired one by one, but she did not leave.
It is understood that she entered the provincial team at the age of 15, entered the national team at the age of 18, followed by the participation in the gold medal, entered the Olympic arena, although initially only the fourth place, but she has great potential, and it is sooner or later to win the championship.
Finally, in 2016, she played steadily and won the championship in the Olympic arena.
For yourself, the goal is completed, and it is normal to choose to retire, after all, there are still many things to do in life.
However, just after Liu Hong had a child, she suddenly had a new goal.
Once, Liu Hong took her daughter to see the game, for a moment, she felt that it was very meaningful to return to the field again, and she had not yet given birth to a child and then returned to the field, which may have an unexpected effect, at least it can be an example.
After consulting with her husband, she decided to return to the field, when her daughter was just half a year old.
It is understood that at that time, she wanted to return to the arena with many people who did not agree, including her parents, after all, there was a risk, a risk of falling.
But in her heart, she felt that this was more valuable, more meaningful, and of course, this was also her passion.
Retiring, returning to the field after giving birth, and being a good mother at the same time, it is very difficult, Liu Hong chose to start with the smallest game in order to balance.
In order to take care of the children, she will even take the children to participate in some competitions.
Soon, she not only won the gold medal again, but also broke the world record.
Professional athletes are different from ordinary people, and if they want to return to the field, they will invest faster and adapt faster.
At that time, there were still many doubts in the outside world, but these doubts quickly disappeared, and the action said it all.
In 2020, the national championship of 20 events, she played steadily, successfully won the championship.
In 2021, at the age of 34, she performed well in the qualification rounds of the National Games and won the championship again.
In the same year, at the Tokyo Olympics, she played a brilliant role, although she only won the bronze medal, but it was enough, and now it is different from the past.
In September, after participating in the Shaanxi Provincial Games, she said that she would not continue to compete, and it was time to devote herself to her family and take care of her family.
I remember she once said that in sports, childbearing is not a dividing line, even if you have a family, children, you can still love sports and bloom.
Nowadays, she has unloaded her desire to win on the field and enjoyed the charm of sports more.
In fact, no matter what career, children and families should not be stumbling blocks, I think the opposite, with a family and children, you will be more motivated, in order to go higher, fly farther, after all, there are people behind you, there is a bottom in your heart.
People like Liu Hong are really worthy of admiration and even more worthy of learning.
With such a mother, the child will certainly not be bad.
