A few days ago, The Chinese athletics legend Liu Xiang successfully attracted the attention of the outside world, because of a conversation between him and the children, which made many netizens sigh with emotion and instantly broke the defense.
Since retiring from the army, Liu Xiang has rarely entered the public eye, and the only few appearances he has made are also activities to promote athletics. In a recent program, the friendly Liu Xiang and the children quickly mingled and had a lot of fun. When a child asks, "Are you still the world champion?" Liu Xiang replied: "I am not now, now retired"! Interestingly, the children were also very curious to ask About Liu Xiang's leg injury, and the Hurdles Olympic champion patiently told him about it.
Some netizens said that in front of many children, Liu Xiang transformed into a gentle and considerate big brother and told them his own stories. As a phenomenon-level figure in the domestic sports world, Liu Xiang has been interviewed by countless media, but perhaps only in front of innocent and cute children, this Chinese athletics steel warrior will be able to express his truest self. The children all know that the brother in front of them is a sports star and a role model for everyone. In addition to asking about Liu Xiang's sports career, some children were also very concerned about Liu Xiang's years of struggling with injuries.
Someone asked Liu Xiang if it hurt or not, and Liu Xiang replied repeatedly, "Pain, real pain!" This sentence made many netizens break the defense instantly, and some people said that the previous interviews, even in front of the senior and close sports reporters, rarely saw Liu Xiang shouting pain. For Liu Xiang, everyone agreed that he, together with Yao Ming and Li Na, had become the three banners of Chinese sports. Yao Ming is the pride of Chinese basketball, Li Na is a legend of Chinese tennis, and Liu Xiang is an indelible mark of Chinese athletics.
The outside world has given Liu Xiang a high evaluation, thinking that he is a once-in-a-century wizard in Chinese and even Asian athletics, which is actually not an exaggeration. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang won the championship with an absolute advantage in the final of the men's 110-meter hurdles. Not only did he win the first Olympic gold medal of his career, but he also wrote a new history for Chinese athletics and even asian athletics hurdles. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Liu Xiang chose to retire due to injury, and at that time, the outside public opinion overwhelmed Liu Xiang.
His supervisor, Sun Haiping, was even more white-headed, worried about what happened to his disciples. Originally, everyone expected Liu Xiang to make a comeback at the London Olympic Games, but history repeated itself, and Liu Xiang fell on the starting line again. Under the torment of injury and illness, Liu Xiang had to be forced to bid farewell to his sports career in advance. But it is undeniable that he has always been a monument to Chinese sports, and in 48 international competitions, Liu Xiang has won a total of 36 gold medals. In the athletics field dominated by European and American athletes, this result is already a miracle!
