On July 23, 2021, a topic about "live selling masks after the Olympic champions retired" rushed to the hot search.
In everyone's impression, the Olympic champion after retirement is either entering the entertainment circle or becoming a professional coach, and it is rare to associate the "Olympic champion" with "live streaming with goods".
Doubtful netizens also began to dig out who he really was, and soon the Olympic champion was found. Xing Aowei is a Chinese gymnast, world champion and Olympic champion.
In 2000, at the age of 18, Xing Aowei participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, scoring super high scores on parallel bars and horizontal bars in the men's team final, defeating the Russian team and helping the Chinese team win the championship, which was also the first Olympic men's team gold medal for the Chinese team.
He was the youngest member of the group at the time. Everyone wondered: "Why did he become famous at a young age and become reduced to selling masks live?"
Xing Aowei was born on February 15, 1982 in a small hutong in Yantai, Shandong Province. And Xing Aowei's mother, Zhang Yuping, once participated in the Olympic torchbearer selection activities in Yantai, perhaps under the influence of his mother, Xing Aowei has loved sports since childhood.
Especially extremely talented in gymnastics, he began practicing gymnastics at the age of five, and the enlightenment coach at that time was Wang Yufu.
In 1990, 8-year-old Xing Aowei was selected for the Shandong team, and he soared all the way to the national team at the age of 12. Xing Aowei, who entered the national team, received more rigorous and professional training.
After four years of hard training, he began his journey to victory. He won the first place in the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok and third on horizontal bars.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Xing Aowei scored 9.7 on parallel bars and 9.737 on horizontal bars in the men's team final, and won the championship in the gymnastics men's team with Yang Wei, Li Xiaopeng, Huang Xu and others.
Participating in the Olympic Games for the first time, they played very steadily, winning the first Olympic men's team gold medal for China, which not only filled the gap of zero Olympic champions in Chinese gymnastics teams, but also achieved a breakthrough of zero Olympic gold medals in Shandong.
This year was the year of Xing Aowei's fame in one fell swoop, and it was also the peak of his sports career. In May 2001, Xing won the East Asian Games Team, Vault, Horizontal Bar Champion and National Championship Horizontal Bar Champion.
In September 2002, Xing Aowei participated in the 14th Busan Asian Games, and he represented the Chinese team to win the gymnastics men's team championship with 228.825 points; in 2005, Xing Aowei officially announced his retirement after participating in the 10th National Games.
He began to be exposed to gymnastics at the age of 5 and ended his career as a professional athlete at the age of 23, and in these 18 years, Xing Aowei completed the goals that all athletes strive for in their lives, winning national championships, world championships, and Olympic champions.
After retiring from the army, Xing Aowei was still reluctant to play sports, so he decided to serve as the coach of the Chinese junior gymnastics team, and was also the youngest coach of the Chinese gymnastics team at that time
The same venue, different positions, now he can coach others off the field, which also gives him a new experience.
After retiring from the army, Xing Aowei, without day and night training, has time to grope forward on the road of love. At a gymnastics event, Xing Aowei met Zhu Yingying by chance, and the drama of love at first sight was staged.
At that time, Xing Aowei had a successful career, facing Zhu Yingying, who was full of youthful atmosphere, as if he was in love and could not extricate himself, he was deeply attracted to Zhu Yingying, and he began to pursue his wife.
Zhu Yingying, a former gymnast, announced her retirement due to injury at the 1997 Eighth Games, after which she became a coach for eight years.
Xing Aowei and Zhu Yingying had similar experiences and the same topics, and soon the two were attracted to each other and naturally got together.
After they were together, they were very affectionate, although the two were in a long-distance relationship, but one in the north and one in the south could not withstand the thought of love.
Zhu Yingying gave up her coaching career in order to be closer to Xing Aowei. Went to Beijing to work for a sporting goods company.
Xing Aowei, who is an acute son, is also a wind and fire, and soon after the two fell in love, Xing Aowei decided that Zhu Yingying was the other half of his destiny, so he wanted to give Zhu Yingying a positive name and proposed marriage.
On October 5, 2008, the two entered the hall of marriage.
At this time, Xing Aowei can be described as a double harvest of love career, on the one hand, he has a happy and happy family, on the other hand, he is an achievement in the coaching career, he was once an Olympic champion, and now he has also cultivated a national champion and a world champion.
In 2009, Xing Resigned as coach and left the national team. The reason is also very simple, after marriage, there is a family bondage, and it is no longer always busy with work.
As a result, life has become particularly monotonous and tedious, and Xing Aowei, who does not want to live in one place, has also begun his cross-border career, and his hobbies are also widely involved, football, skiing, and golf have not fallen.
On March 5, 2010, Xing Aowei also ushered in the love crystallization of the two, and the daughter was born with the love of her parents and named Xing Qianjin.
The joy of welcoming their daughter made Xing Aowei and Zhu Yingying even happier, but this sweet life did not last long.
In January 2013, Xing Aowei felt that the marriage had come to an end and that the relationship between the two could not be reconciled as before, so he sued the court for divorce and divided the couple's property according to law.
After getting married, he gradually found that the two were particularly different in terms of hobbies and personalities, and sometimes there were physical conflicts.
In April 2013, the court of first instance dismissed Xing Aowei's lawsuit, and his wife, Zhu Yingying, said that the relationship between the two had not yet broken down, and Zhu Yingying, who wanted to save the marriage, did not agree, but Xing Aowei did not think so.
In November 2013, Xing Aowei sued again for divorce, at which point the court determined that the relationship between the two had broken down and granted the divorce.
On June 14, 2014, the court ruled that the two divorced and gave custody of their daughter to Zhu Yingying. After the divorce, Xing Aowei and his ex-wife are still friends, in order to give the children a good growth environment, he will also travel with his ex-wife with children every weekend.
Xing Aowei gradually focused on his career after the divorce, and at the same time also began his cross-border development. The courage and perseverance cultivated during the athlete period also played an indelible role in his future career.
In 2015, Xing Aowei and his friends jointly established the Sports Investment Fund, and since then they have stepped into the sports capital industry to transform into angel investors.
In addition, Xing Aowei has opened a star gym, worked as a fitness coach, and participated in summits and forums in the venture capital circle as an investor.
He even entered the entertainment industry, participating in major variety shows, TV series and movies as a sports star. Despite the crazy crossover, he always maintains an optimistic and firm mentality to break into his own career.
After 16 years of retirement, Xing Aowei was on the hot search topic with "the Olympic champion fell to the live broadcast room to buy a mask".
In the face of this hot search, he himself also responded, he said: "First of all, thank you for your attention, I hope that everyone can dare to try in their own lives, no matter what the situation, do not give up the courage to break through, to feel the power of life." ”
In addition, Xing Aowei does not feel that for him, buying a mask for live broadcast is a difficult thing to talk about.
For most people, live broadcasting is a way to make ends meet, while for Xing Aowei, live broadcasting is just a new challenge, a breakthrough for himself, and he enjoys the process.
In addition, he does not sell everything like other anchors with goods, neither loses the so-called conscience, nor does he leave any bad impression on everyone.
In the past, Xing Aowei was faced with flowers and applause, but now his face is replaced by masks and nutritional products, and everyone thinks that he, who was once an Olympic champion, will have a sense of gap.
But Xing Aowei himself did not feel it, he said: "There is no sense of gap, this is life, your life is what time period, what kind of things to do."
Xing Aowei, who has been retired for 16 years, still has the physical qualities of gymnasts, and the living habits of the athlete period are still continuing to this day.
He gets up around 6 o'clock, no matter how busy he is every day, he will find time to go to the gym to exercise, and "brushing at least 10 kilometers a week" is his goal.
In recent months, Xing Aowei's itinerary has been full, not only to Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places to do public welfare for remote children, but also to follow the program team to shoot a variety show.
However, in this busy time, the Tokyo Olympic Games were also ushered in, and Xing Aowei freed up time for the Olympic Games and became a commentator, and when he faced the camera, he was also full of thoughts.
Thinking back on his sports career, he said: "We are engaged in competitive sports, step by step to the Olympic field, the process is very hard, athletes will always face physical and psychological pressure, only the word 'persistence'. ”
Whenever there are Chinese gymnasts on the field, Xing Aowei pays special attention. In the gymnastics men's individual all-around, Xiao Ruoteng won the second place, and Xing Aowei also encouraged him at the first time.
Every day, Xing Aowei will sigh a few words on his social platform, but also want more people to understand gymnastics, and even feel the beauty of gymnastics.
Life is unlimited, cross-border non-stop. In the 16 years since his retirement, Xing Aowei has done many things, such as coaching, opening a gym, devoting himself to public welfare undertakings, entering the entertainment industry, and even live streaming with goods.
Xing Aowei said that if he had not had the experience of an athlete, he might not have the courage and perseverance to carry these things forward, nor did he have a good mentality and state to treat life.
Everyone says that gymnastics is the source of sports, but Xing Aowei feels that sports is one of the foundations of all careers.
At the same time, I also hope that everyone can find a favorite sports and stick to it, which will make you relax physically and mentally.
