Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui are very well-known Gemini stars in the Chinese table tennis team, and over the years, their relationship has long developed from teammates to brothers, and the story of Gemini encouraging each other to share the prize money equally is still well known. However, what we are talking about today is Liu Guoliang's love story, and there is no good brother Kong Linghui or anything, and then we will talk about Kong Linghui later.
If kong Linghui and Ma Su's failed love marathon is a big tragedy, the love of Liu Guoliang, another gemini star, who is jokingly called "the fat man who doesn't know the ball" by Japanese fans, is particularly touching and perfect, and today we will briefly review the earth-shattering magical love.
Born in 1976 in a county below Xinxiang, Henan, Liu Guoliang began practicing table tennis at the age of 6, entered the national youth team at the age of 13, and entered the national team at the age of 15. Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui became the most powerful table tennis players of the era, and they were also the second and third Chinese table tennis players to win a grand slam respectively, and the first grand slam was Deng Yaping. We will not say much about the honor of Liu Guoliang's table tennis, it is estimated that many fans are more familiar than me, today to talk about his love with Wang Jin.
In 1991 and 1992, Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin entered the national youth team training on the front and back feet, and it is said that On the first day of entering the team, Wang Jin was deeply impressed with Liu Guoliang and quickly became good friends, and then naturally the two fell in love early, and they were only 16 years old that year.
Everyone should know that the national team at that time was forbidden to have romance in the team, and the punishment was also very severe, once found, it would be forced to break up, either to dismiss one, or to return to the provincial team, or to leave the national team.
Despite this, the two youngsters began to "date" under the cover of their teammates. As the relationship between the two heats up, Liu Guoliang's results are getting better and better, but the iron law of forbidding love in the team is like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, and it is in danger of being cut down at any time.
What many people don't know is that although Wang Jin's results are not as good as Liu Guoliang's, her family is a table tennis family and has a good relationship with the national team, and once the relationship is exposed, Liu Guoliang is more likely to be punished. So in 1995, Wang Jin made a decision that shocked everyone and left the national team to play in Japan. This also means that Wang Jin will lose the opportunity to win the world championship and the Olympic champion, there are many people who do not understand her such bold and adventurous behavior, for Liu Guoliang this sacrifice is too much, and at that time she and Liu Guoliang were only boyfriend and girlfriend, not to the point of talking about marriage, this matter will cause a sensation as it is now, people will definitely ask, is Wang Jin so worthy of sacrifice? Is Liu Guoliang a reliable man? What kind of reward will he give Wang Jin?
Many years later, when Wang Jin was asked about this again, she laughed and said: "It is enough for our family to have an Olympic champion." In a simple sentence, it shows unlimited trust and expectation for the boy.
Wang Jin is not so smooth in Playing in Japan, although the level is very high, but the language barrier, living habits are not the same, life is very difficult, more interesting is that the money earned by hard work is sent to the telecommunications company, what is going on? It turned out that they were in a period of hot love, at that time communication was not developed, making transoceanic calls was very expensive, in order to let Liu Guoliang save some money, every time Wang Jin called, according to her own later, the money for playing ball was basically spent on the porridge on the phone.
I believe that many people know the glorious record behind Liu Guoliang, who soon became China's first men's grand slam, and the love career double harvest.
In 2006, two people who had experienced 14 years of love run entered the palace of marriage, and the best man was Kong Linghui, and from the photos at the scene, Kong Linghui looked happier than Liu Guoliang. After retiring from the country, Liu Guoliang did not leave table tennis, and after becoming the head coach of the national team, the national table tennis quickly became an invincible dream team, and now he has become the chairman of the Table Tennis Association and continues to steer Chinese table tennis.
After getting married, Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin had twin daughters, and one daughter played golf particularly well and has won the world championship.
This year is the 16th year of their marriage, bless them.
