There is a kind of man called Jiang Shan. At the age of 22, For the sake of his beloved, Jiang Shan, who was already a tennis champion at the National Games, gave up his career and chose to retire and enter the journalism department of East China University of Science and Technology with Li Na;
During Li Na's participation in the Tour and Grand Slam, Jiang Shan was Li Na's coach, sparring partner and nanny, and also Li Na's punching bag on the field, Li Na once said in her autobiography that Jiang Shan's love is like a father and the sea, mature, inclusive, calm and generous.
He not only silently accompanied Li Na at her peak, but also chose to be righteous when Li Na had nothing, and then more than twenty years later, he was still the most trustworthy man behind Li Na.
First, 28 years of companionship, Jiang Shan said that loving Li Na is the craziest thing
Time flies so fast that it's a little surprising to see the numbers. Jiang Shan and Li Na first met each other 28 years ago. The two met in the Hubei tennis provincial team, Jiang Shan Da Li Na is 2 years old, is the master brother of the team, and is also the main force of the Chinese tennis youth team.
On Valentine's Day in 1998, 16-year-old Li Na officially expressed her heart to master Brother Jiang Shan through a box of chocolates. Of the two, Li Na was the one who took the initiative. In the self-description "Playing Alone", Li Na said that Jiang Shan is a reliable person, she does not like boys who can especially speak the Tao, and the expectation for the other half is: mature, tolerant, calm, like the sea, and Jiang Shan just happens to be such a person.
2 years before the confession, Li Na's family changed, her father died, and her mother and another uncle formed a family, which had a great impact on Li Na at that time, although she approved of her mother's approach, but her heart instinctively rejected the new family that was formed later. During this period, Jiang Shan became her dependent.
In 2002, Jiang Shan and Li Na chose to retire from the provincial team together and enter the Department of Journalism of East China University of Science and Technology together. In the 2019 variety show, Jiang Shan reviewed the choice at that time, he said: It is to give up his future, fully support a woman, and he is not sure what he will return, the only reward is that two people will be together.
You know, at that time, Jiang Shan was only 22 years old. Jiang Shan said that being with Li Na was the craziest thing he had ever done, and it was really not an exaggeration at all. Li Na said that she had no idea what to do after retiring at that time, "I will do whatever Jiang Shan does anyway." ”
In these crazy days, Jiang Shan first persuaded Li Na to come back, and then worked as a coach, sparring partner, psychological counselor, physical teacher, assistant, and chef in the tour.
In professional tennis, the athlete is the equivalent of the boss, while the coach is more of a hired role and status. How to help Li Na cope with the huge pressure in the tour and training, while maintaining a good husband and wife relationship, during the period of many times in the role of coach was "fired" by Li Na, Jiang Shan did as he said, let himself become the man behind Li Na, is to become her dependence, even if fired. This is love without scruples.
In the coaching position, Jiang Shan accompanied Li Na from the ITF, step by step to get the WTA championship, step by step to get the Grand Slam sixteen, eight, four, champion, in the face of the Australian Open was roared at the famous scene, Jiang Shan understood Li Na's pressure, I think maybe only by paying full attention, will really not mind not to be wronged, men's bosom and love, this is the most vivid.
Second, in the blink of an eye, he is a middle-aged man
After Li Na retired from the army in 2014, Jiang Shan also became a father of 2 children, and the two focused more on the family, and sometimes went out to work, such as shooting variety shows and commercial activities.
The two often quarrel in variety shows, Li Na will say that when she was young and ignorant, she was fascinated by Jiang Shan, when she did not wake up, her eyes were not washed, and Jiang Shan sometimes reflected the characteristics of iron and humility.
Netizens were surprised to say that this is a plastic marriage, which looks like two people without feelings, and the marriage is at risk of breaking down at any time.
But the seemingly incompatible two people, one warm, one gentle, happen to be a complementary. Jiang Shan knew that although the girl in front of her was already a world superstar, she was an insecure hedgehog who longed for warmth and needed a sense of security.
28 years of companionship, willing to be the man behind Li Na, Jiang Shan did not give up his career, behind the love, is his and Li Na's mutual understanding, he understands Li Na's temper, more understand Li Na's ideals.
After Li Na retired, Jiang Shan once said that to be great, Li Na is the benchmark and banner figure of young people, and the two of them let everyone see how an ordinary person can do what 90% of people can't do through his own efforts.
Jiang Shan said that he engaged in tennis because of his parents' choice, so for himself, he could only do this thing in this life, only this thing was the most suitable for himself, and other roads had not been tried. In the past 28 years, Jiang Shan has done the ultimate in this road, he is a national champion, and after retiring, he is also one of the best and most successful tennis coaches in the world, and the best professional tennis manager.
He said that Li Na is the chairman, and he is the CEO, the CEO, and at every stage of Li Na's career, he is not just a man behind him. Give Li Na direction when she is confused, give strength when she is lost, and give her confidence in the initial stage of solo flight, "If you can't play, you just spend your savings to go out and play, and it's a big deal to come back and earn money." ”
Therefore, Jiang Shan is very great, many people talk about them will say "strong women and weak men" and "Li Na dominates this relationship, Jiang Shan's status is low", that is, we really don't understand him. Give up the career of the national champion when your girlfriend has nothing, turn to be a coach after your girlfriend's comeback, start becoming a full-time manager and coach sparring partner after marriage, accompany Li Na to get 2 Grand Slam championships to become the first person in Asia, and show teenagers how to achieve their dreams through hard work, for love, set a goal two people to work together to achieve, isn't this a great man? Isn't that the best way for a couple to look?
