Before 1998, when ma Jiajun was mentioned in the Field of Athletics in China, everyone probably knew it!
Ma Jiajun has created a miracle in the history of Chinese athletics, and has cultivated a number of world track and field champions such as Wang Junxia and Qu Yunxia, and coach Ma Junren can be said to be the greatest.
However, in 1998, a book called "Ma Jiajun Investigation" came out, which revealed that Ma Junren forced athletes to take a large number of doping and other incidents, and Ma Jiajun was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and the entire Chinese sports industry also opened a wave of anti-doping.
Ma Jiajun fell from the altar, and the departure of some well-known athletes such as Wang Junxia had already brought heavy damage to Ma Jiajun, and as soon as the doping incident came out, Ma Jiajun became the target of everyone.
Ma Junren's newly formed Ma Jiajun never created its former glory, and gradually Ma Jiajun disappeared from people's vision.
So, did Ma Jiajun really force the sports to take a large number of stimulants as written in the book? Years have passed, what kind of life are the members of the Ma family army living now?
First, from the legend of athletics to the end of the curtain
Ma Jiajun's glory can be said to have begun in 1993, when Ma Junren and his members won three gold medals in Stuttgart, Germany, and broke two world records at the World Championships, making Ma Jiajun's name resound throughout the country.
Then, after returning from the German race, Ma Jiajun once again wrote a brilliant chapter in Spain, winning a number of women's individual championships and team championships.
Ma Junren, the coach at the time, said that "if you break any record, you will break any record, and if you say whoever wins the championship, you will let whoever wins the championship!" ”

However, the good times did not last long, and things changed significantly in 1994.
Ma Junren's beloved general Wang Junxia suddenly led more than a dozen members of the team to leave! This gave Ma Junren a huge blow. At that time, Wang Junxia did not explain the specific reason for his departure, so there was a lot of speculation about this matter.
However, Ma Junren immediately formed a new team, and in 1995 led the team to the National City Games in Nanjing, where Jiang Bo won the 5,000m championship and set a new Asian record.
In November 1995, Ma Junren led Ma Jiajun to win the men's and women's championships in the Dalian International Marathon. Just when the outside world thought that Ma Junren had once again brought out a legendary team, Ma Jiajun suffered a total defeat at the 1996 Nanjing Games.
After the Nanjing Games, the domestic media published various articles predicting that the Ma family army would not be able to continue its glory and would disappear from the horizon.
Wave after wave, wave after wave. Two months later, Wang Junxia, who ran away from the team, won her country's first Olympic gold medal in the middle and long distance running at the Atlanta Olympics.
Wang Junxia
This makes people think that even without Ma Junren, Wang Junxia is still a well-deserved oriental sacred deer! Ma Junren began to train his Ma Jiajun more harshly and used more crazy and even cruel methods.
He was very strict with the athletes at that time, and once someone did not meet his requirements, he would be beaten and scolded by Ma Junren. Under Ma Junren's extraordinary means, in 1997, Ma Junren's disciples Jiang Bo and Dong Yanmei finally achieved good results, and the world record set by the two that year is still no one can break.
Ma Jiajun under the leadership of Ma Junren has brought hope and glory to China's athletics field, created a major miracle in the history of Chinese athletics, and won glory for the motherland!
However, in 1998, a writer named Zhao Yu published a book called "Ma Jiajun Investigation", which immediately pushed Ma Junren and his Ma Jiajun to the forefront.
In the book, Zhao Yu revealed that in order to win the competition, Ma Junren forced athletes to take or inject a large number of stimulants and male hormones. This has led to many female athletes having physical and psychological lesions. Some female athletes have menopause at a young age, and even their voices have become thicker and thicker.
Wang Junxia, who left Ma Jiajun that year, also revealed that she left because she could not stand Ma Junren forcing herself to take stimulants.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a wave of anti-doping was set off in the Chinese sports industry. In the 2000 competition, many members of Ma Jiajun were found to be doping and banned for two years by the China Athletics Management Center, resulting in the failure of all members of Ma Jiajun to participate in the Olympic Games that year.
This plunged Ma Jiajun into a historical trough, and Ma Junren forced athletes to use doping became a fact, and for a time the crowd was indignant, people said that Chinese longed for the championship, but more eager to win the championship cleanly.
Later, Ma Junren trained a third batch of team members, but basically did not make too much splash. People's attention to Ma Jiajun has also slowly decreased, and I don't know when Ma Jiajun, who was extremely popular, has quietly disappeared from the sight of the Chinese people.
Now that many years have passed, what kind of life are the members of the team who have made great contributions to the Ma Family Army?
Second, Wang Junxia quietly retired, and the road to marriage was bumpy
I think people are most concerned about Wang Junxia, who is known as the sacred deer of the East.
Wang Junxia
In 1996, Wang Junxia won the first gold medal in the middle and long-distance running in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games, and the scenery was unique for a while.
However, when she returned to China with honor, what awaited him was not the appreciation and welcome of the people, but the news that coach Mao Dezhen was forced to retire, and Wang Junxia was also ostracized and snubbed by everyone.
The players who had fought alongside her began to avoid her, there were important games, the coach did not give her the opportunity to participate, and after being hidden in the snow for a year, Wang Junxia silently retired.
After retiring from the army, Wang Junxia also left a serious psychological shadow, and she suffered from the disease of neurotic vomiting. At this time, Ma Junren had a strong influence in China's athletics industry, so public opinion outside the world was denouncing Wang Junxia for being ungrateful and betraying her mentor.
In desperation, Wang Junxia had to leave for the United States. After a few years in the United States, Wang Junxia returned to China and married the famous football player Zhan Yu in a high profile.
This is a wedding of the century that sensationalizes the country! At that time, it was Zhao Benshan, the king of comedy, who officiated the wedding for Wang Junxia and Zhan Yu. However, three years later, the high-profile celebrity couple broke the news of the marriage change.
The two also staged a divorce war for the custody of the child, and in the end, Wang Junxia won the lawsuit at the cost of getting the custody of the child.
In order to heal this love injury, Wang Junxia once again went abroad for further study, and met her second husband Huang Tiantian during her further studies in the United States. Huang Tiantian is a musical talent, and graduated from a famous school, very romantic, and very gentle with Wang Junxia.
This made Wang Junxia think that she had finally met true love, so she and Huang Tiantian entered into marriage. But after marriage, Wang Junxia learned that Huang Tiantian had an almost perverted desire to control, and he only gave Wang Junxia and his children 1200 yuan a month for living expenses, and did not allow Wang Junxia to have any contact with the outside world.
Not only that, without Wang Junxia's permission, he wrote and published a book called "Oriental Sacred Deer - My Wife Wang Junxia", in order to attract people's attention, Huang Tiantian also made up Ma Junren's false remarks about sexually assaulting Wang Junxia.
When Wang Junxia learned of this, she immediately came forward to deny it, and the two sides tore their faces. In the end, Wang Junxia once again escaped from Huang Tiantian with her child in the form of a clean house.
The two failed marriages did not make Wang Junxia depressed, on the contrary, she still embraced life with full enthusiasm and met her current husband Li Huiyang.
Li Huiyang is very tolerant of Wang Junxia and also very fond of Wang Junxia's children. The husband and wife have been involved in public welfare undertakings, and now Wang Junxia is not only the chairman of the Dalian Athletics Association, but also the ambassador of the Guangzhou Marathon and other positions.
For her former mentor Ma Junren, Wang Junxia has long since let go of her resentment towards Ma Junren, saying that although Ma Junren has done many things wrong, she has to admit that without Ma Junren, there is no Oriental Sacred Deer, and she may still farm in the countryside. Ma Junren has always been her mentor!
Third, Liu Li, who can't find a job
When people think of Ma Jiajun, they think of Wang Junxia, Qu Yunxia and others, but people seem to forget that the person who opened the glorious chapter of Ma Jiajun is Liu Li.
In 1990, Liu Li won the first world-class gold medal for Ma Jiajun and broke the stereotype that the world's yellow race could not win the middle-distance running championship.
It can be said that Liu Li's gold medal has historical significance for the entire Asian people. However, Ma Junren did not continue to let Liu Li create good results, on the contrary, he let Liu Li play an auxiliary role.
With the cooperation of Liu Li, Qu Yunxia won the gold medal in the 3000 meters. Subsequently, in the subsequent races, Ma Junren always let Liu Li take charge of leading the race. Leading the way is a thankless job, so to speak, making a wedding dress for others.
However, Liu Li has always been obedient to Ma Junren's words, just like that, she has not won a gold medal since then, but almost every gold medal is inseparable from Liu Li's cooperation and sacrifice.
However, Liu Li's spirit of sacrifice did not bring herself the slightest benefit. At the time of her retirement, because she had not won a world-class championship, she only received 100,000 yuan in team fees, which was lower than many ordinary players in the team.
After retiring from the army, Liu Li chose to go to college and married a member of the Liaoning athletics team during her schooling, and Liu Li used her team fee to buy a house in Yingkou.
I thought I would be assigned a stable job after graduation. However, in 1999, the national policy changed, and after graduating from college, there was no longer a package for distribution, and Liu Li had to find a job on her own.
However, he didn't have anything he was good at except for long-distance running, so he kept doing odd jobs.
Because her husband had been injured, he could not do heavy work and could only open a stationery store to make money. However, because of poor management, it eventually closed its doors. The burden of life is all on Liu Li's body.
A few years later, after his father was laid off, the factory took back the originally allocated house, so he thought of asking Liu Li to borrow money to buy a house, but Liu Li helplessly said that she could not come up with the money.
After saying that, Liu Li finally couldn't help but shed tears, and the old father also sighed and said, "I knew this earlier, and I said that I wouldn't let you go running and suffer at the beginning." ”
Later, in order to earn more money, Liu Li took her husband to Shenyang. Their lives have not improved much. Liu Li, who had once been grinning, became more calculating, and she was no longer willing to contact her former teammates, and even the memories of Ma Jiajun were unwilling to mention them again.
When the book "Ma Jiajun Investigation" was published, someone gave her a copy, and she threw it in the cupboard without even reading it. She said her wish at this time was to be able to find a good job, and she didn't care about anything else.
Ma Junren, the former champion coach, raised a dog
In addition to Wang Junxia and Liu Li, the other members of Ma Jiajun's team had different circumstances.
The first captain, Li Ying, was deeply injured and collapsed, and finally chose to end his young life by suicide.
Champion Liu Dong once went hand in hand with Wang Junxia, and after retiring from the army, he worked as a coach in Ma Jiajun, although he had different opinions with Ma Junren in many aspects, and even had a stalemate with Ma Junren, but when Ma Junren was deeply involved in the doping incident, the hot-tempered Northeast girl did not join the team of condemnation.
Because, in Liu Dong's heart, ma Junren always has a deep mentor-apprentice feeling.
Later, Liu Dong married Luis, vice chairman of the Spanish Athletics Association, and went to live abroad with her husband, which can be regarded as one of the better-off members of the Ma family army.
Many people wonder, where did Ma Junren go? In fact, Ma Junren's life was not affected by the doping incident. After retirement, Ma Junren raised Tibetan mastiffs.
He bought a piece of land in Hanyuanzi Village, Daxing Huangcun Town, Beijing, built a Tibetan Mastiff Breeding Center, and established a Tibetan Mastiff Club.
He said he loved Tibetan mastiffs. However, at present, the Chinese purebred Tibetan mastiff is on the verge of extinction, and he hopes to use his own strength to promote the protection of the Chinese purebred Tibetan mastiff and promote the breeding of the Tibetan mastiff.
When the reporter interviewed him, he said with an anxious face, "China is not yet a member of the International Kennel Federation, and I must breed the purest breed of Chinese Tibetan mastiffs to win glory for the country and strive to make China a member of the International Kennel Federation as soon as possible." ”
Shortly after the interview, Ma Junren appeared in good spirits at the first Tibetan Mastiff Exhibition in Langfang.
Ma Junren still looked very energetic, combing his big back, very devoted to talking with the people who came to the meeting about the experience of raising Tibetan mastiffs, and that look was as proud as the Ma Jiajun who looked at himself.
brief summary:
Although the legendary story of Ma Jiajun has long ended, the members of the team who once won glory for the country have also run their own things, interpreting their own stories in ordinary life, perhaps the circumstances are good or bad, and even some are not satisfactory.
However, the glory of Ma Jiajun is still remembered by the Chinese people, and the honor they have earned for the motherland will never be forgotten!
