As a well-known representative of the Chinese table tennis world in the 1980s, Jiang Jialiang, who is handsome and heroic, is the male god of many table tennis fans. He became famous at a young age, winning men's singles and team titles at the Table Tennis World Cup, and his straight-line fast attack skills and sharp style of play also deterred many opponents. At the age of 25, Jiang Jialiang, who was at the peak of his career, chose to retire and married Wu Yufang, the queen of the Hundred Flowers and Shadows, what kind of story does he have?
Jiang Jialiang, a leading figure in China's table tennis generation, was born in 1964 to an ordinary working-class family in Guangdong. Influenced by his father's love for table tennis, Jiang Jialiang came to the sports school for table tennis training at the age of seven or eight. In 1979, at the age of 15, Jiang Jialiang joined the national team and has since begun to emerge in international competitions. At the 1983 World Table Tennis Championships, he won the men's team competition for The Chinese team. In 1984, Jiang Jialiang won the fifth World Cup table tennis singles championship, which was the first world singles championship in his career, and it was with this gold medal that Jiang Jialiang became an extremely dazzling new star in the world table tennis world at that time.
At the 38th World Table Tennis Championships in 1985, Jiang Jialiang broke out of strength and led the Chinese table tennis team to win the men's team championship, and he himself won the men's singles gold medal. That year, Jiang Jialiang was only in his early 20s, and in the hearts of many people, Jiang Jialiang, who stood on the podium of the world-class competition champion, was the hope for the future of the mainland table tennis industry and an indispensable and excellent figure in the table tennis world. Later, in the 39th World Table Tennis Championships in 1987, Jiang Jialiang overcame many difficulties and successfully defended the men's team and singles champions, leaving a strong mark in the history of Chinese table tennis.
Jiang Jialiang was twice named one of the top ten athletes in the country in 1985 and 1987, and in the Chinese table tennis arena at that time, Jiang Jialiang was the hottest athlete, and he also carried the expectations of the people of the whole country. This expectation is both pressure and motivation, for Jiang Jialiang, it is an unshirkable mission to win a gold medal for the country, and he has always firmly believed in this belief and has never relaxed.
1988 can be said to be a turning point in Jiang Jialiang's sports career, and his life has also undergone great changes in that year. This year, Jiang Jialiang participated in the Seoul Olympic Games, but unexpectedly lost in the men's singles quarters final, and missed the championship and only finished fifth. After the game, Jiang Jialiang's face was unconcealed loss, and he understood that his state was already a big gap from before. However, although the sports career suffered setbacks, Jiang Jialiang completed his life events in this year, marrying Wu Yufang, the queen of the Hundred Flowers, back home.
Wu Yufang is a famous actor in the mainland, who quickly became popular in the show business circle at the age of 21 with a "Life", and won the title of Queen of the Hundred Flowers Award. Jiang Jialiang and Wu Yufang met in a cultural and sports fraternity in 1986, when Jiang Jialiang was in the limelight, and he often appeared at some formal gatherings. Since meeting Wu Yufang for the first time at a party, Jiang Jialiang has been attracted by her unique and outstanding temperament, and fell in love with this young girl who coexisted with strength and appearance at first sight.
One is a handsome and handsome ping-pong prince, who still has the title of world champion on his head, and the other is a gentle goddess in the acting industry, although he is young, he has become a film queen, and the two people who are matched in all aspects of the conditions have fallen in love shortly after they know each other, and often show their love in a high profile, which is very envious of everyone. In 1988, Jiang Jialiang and Wu Yufang decided to get married and entered into marriage hand in hand, and also received blessings from all over.
After getting married, they are still working hard for their respective careers and dreams, at this time Wu Yufang is in the golden period of her acting career, but Jiang Jialiang has been hit hard. In 1989, Jiang Jialiang stood in front of the table of the World Table Tennis Championships and lost again. After the end of the game, Jiang Jialiang inevitably fell lonely, and in the same year, he made the decision to retire.
Wu Yufang understood her husband's mood very well, and she had always accompanied Him and comforted him by Jiang Jialiang's side. After Jiang Jialiang retired from the army, he received an invitation from the Singapore table tennis world and wanted to hire him as a coach. For the sake of her husband Wu Yufang, she decisively gave up her great career and went to Singapore with Jiang Jialiang. Since then, they have given birth to two lovely children, and the family's life is complete and happy, and there has never been a messy scandal.
Jiang Jialiang has always known how much his wife has given for herself, and she is also grateful for Wu Yufang's deep love and unconditional support. After the birth of the child, they chose to return to the motherland, Wu Yufang returned with the support of her family to continue filming, and Jiang Jialiang founded a table tennis school in Shanghai to lead a new generation of table tennis enthusiasts to complete their dreams, and also contributed to the development of China's table tennis cause.
Looking back at Jiang Jialiang's sports career, although he finally retired due to the decline in strength, he, like many other great athletes, also left his own legend in the history of Chinese sports. The glory of the game or the failure of the game has drifted away with the wind, and for Jiang Jialiang today, the career he loves and the happy family are the happiness he wants to cherish most.
