In May 1990, at the Friendship Games in Seattle, USA, a Chinese girl under the age of 12 won the diving competition. The media all over the world have come to know a rising Chinese sports superstar- Fu Mingxia.
Two years later, at the 25th Olympic Games, Fu Mingxia, who was under 14 years old, won the Olympic championship and became the youngest champion in the history of the Olympic Games.
From her early 1990s to the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Fu Mingxia ushered in an era of diving that belonged to her.
After the Sydney Olympics, Fu Mingxia, who was originally thought to quit the game, will gradually be forgotten by people. But unexpectedly, in 2002, Fu Mingxia's marriage to Liang Jinsong once again made the former sports diva the focus of the public.
One is a sports diva, and the other is Hong Kong's financial giant and political rookie. What will the love between the two of them look like?
The wonderful fate of the "Diving Queen" and the "Financial Giant"
Back to the first time Fu Mingxia was interviewed, it was after seattle won the championship in 1990. At that time, Fu Mingxia was as green as a white lotus flower.
When dealing with journalists' crushing questions such as "Do you have a hard time training", "Do you want to think of your parents and mothers", and "How old is this year", Fu Mingxia's standard answer is always the three words "I don't know".
So much so that a media reporter at the time simply took the headline in the report as "A Chinese girl who only says "I don't know" won the world championship."
Ten years later, at the Sydney Olympics, Fu Mingxia, who has won the Olympic championship three times, still does not know how to deal with it when facing reporters.
But at this time, compared with ten years ago, Fu Mingxia has undoubtedly got rid of the childishness of that year, and is full of the confidence of the champion and the smile of an angel.
At this time, in distant Hong Kong, Leung Kam-sung, a Hong Kong financial giant who left his position as an executive at Citibank that year, became JPMorgan's Chairman of the Asia-Pacific region.
Liang Jinsong and Fu Mingxia, who had embarked on a new career journey, could never have imagined that two people who had no connection with each other would wait for each other to appear at some point shortly thereafter.
In 2001, Leung Kam-song, who was about to assume the post of Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, was a bit of a celebrity.
Hong Kong, which has just experienced the Asian financial turmoil, is in ruins. There is an urgent need for a leader who can lead Hong Kong's financial circle out of the haze. And Liang Jinsong is naturally the best candidate.
Many executives in Hong Kong's banking circles said: "Leung Kam-song is the best candidate to take over as 'Treasurer', he is familiar with Hong Kong's financial market, has rich financial knowledge and administrative experience, has deep feelings for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the whole country, and has a strong personality, persistence, and does not easily change his position for outside opinions." ”
Liang Jinsong, who is about to become the "rich master", naturally attends various activities every day. At the annual Hong Kong "Outstanding Leader" Awards Ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Hotel in March of that year, Leung kam-song saw Fu Mingxia, who was present as the guest of honor.
This giant with a very high status in both the political and business circles in Hong Kong was immediately attracted by the charm of this young woman after seeing Fu Mingxia. To know the status of the "Chinese Diving Dream Team" in the hearts of the Chinese people, even if it comes to Liang Jinsong, it is a respected existence.
Leung Kam-song was moved at that time, so in the interval between the awards ceremony, the giant who had been in Hong Kong's political and business circles for many years took the initiative to get close to Fu Mingxia.
Recalling the scene of meeting With Liang Jinsong at that time, Fu Mingxia said: "Liang Jinsong sat next to me, and may have seen me sitting and bored, so he took out an electronic notepad and played those built-in games with me very kindly."
Maybe I'm stupid, I can't learn it, and I die in the first round... I think he's an interesting guy because he knows how to tease me and he's friendly..."
Perhaps it was the relief of fate, the two fell in love shortly after they met.
Ordinary life is marriage
Just a year after meeting Leung Kam-song, Fu Mingxia married the titan of Hong Kong's political and business circles. And a warm and romantic wedding was held in Hawaii.
Although many people at that time were not optimistic about the love between Fu Mingxia and Liang Jinsong, they thought that Fu Mingxia would encounter various troubles after marrying into the rich, especially the generation gap between the two people by 26 years.
However, for these questions, the couple finally responded with facts.
Once invited for an interview, Liang Jinsong was asked about the age gap with Fu Mingxia, saying: "There is a gap in the age of Ah Xia and me, and it has become the focus of everyone's discussion for a while. I was also worried about this problem, and I talked to Ah Xia. But Ah Xia said that age is not a gap, love is beautiful. ”
When the same question was asked of Fu Mingxia, Fu Mingxia also said: "I like to be more mature, because I belong to the kind of people who don't worry about it, and I don't want things that are so far away, I just want what I have now!" With her, it was him, coming to the butler, I could have eased it. ”
Although the words are relaxed, Fu Mingxia's life after marriage is not so easy. Because every happy family is not a person who can pay. After marriage, Fu Mingxia gradually used all her energy on her husband and family, and chose to become her husband's helper.
After marriage, Fu Mingxia continued to complete her studies and received a bachelor's degree in business administration from the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University in July 2004. At this time, Fu Mingxia's eldest daughter was already one and a half years old, and she was still nearly 3 months pregnant.
It may be because of the excessive attention of the media, so that Fu Mingxia and her husband began to gradually fade out of people's vision.
In 2004, after giving birth to a second child for Liang Jinsong, Fu Mingxia lived with her husband in a semi-reclusive state in a villa apartment in the middle of Repulse Bay.
It is not easy to find such a place in Hong Kong that is surrounded by mountains and rivers, far from the downtown, and not far from the villa where Leung Kam-sung and Fu Mingxia live is the private residence of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong.
In the years since, this villa in the middle of Repulse Bay has become a barrier for Fu Mingxia to escape from the world. Unlike most people imagine, many people think that Fu Mingxia married into the rich family to enter the "aristocratic" life circle, but in fact, after marrying Liang Jinsong, Fu Mingxia really became an "ordinary person".
Every day is a series of family, children, and husbands. It's just that this is the life of an ordinary family woman, and Fu Mingxia is also happy about it.
After Fu Mingxia gave birth to her second child in 2004, she was accidentally photographed by a reporter visiting a supermarket in Central with her husband, Leung Kam-sung. After buying a large bag of chicken wings and pork, the reporter saw the couple come to the organic shelves to buy.
Due to the inconvenience of Fu Mingxia after childbirth, Liang Jinsong was doing the work of taking the goods. Liang Jinsong squatted on the ground for half a day and selected a package of Japanese organic noodles and a box of wafer biscuits for Fu Mingxia.
In fact, this is not surprising at all. Although the two have a lot of money, and they also have servants to take care of them. But the life of the rich fan is still an indispensable part of the life of the two people.
After marriage, Fu Mingxia also carefully studied cooking, whether it is Hubei cuisine or Cantonese cuisine, she is very proficient.
This shocked Fu Mingxia's former coach Yu Fendu. It turns out that a sports woman who is in the limelight can also put down everything and return to the ordinary life of "rich rice oil and salt".
Say goodbye to the glory of the past and return to family life
In addition to studying at Tsinghua University, Fu Mingxia also tried her best to make up for her lack of culture and life skills. In an interview in 2008, Fu Mingxia said: "My child is now learning painting and piano, which are things that I did not touch when I was a child. I myself am learning the piano. ”
At that time, Fu Mingxia's third child was also nearing the basin. Many people are very concerned about how the two children of the Fu Mingxia family will be arranged in the future. As a mother, Fu Mingxia has already made corresponding plans for the lives of her two children who have been born and the three sons in her belly.
Regarding the children, Fu Mingxia's answer is "I only care about their healthy growth, and I don't envision their future careers." For her husband at this time, Fu Mingxia only said in a flash: "He is in Beijing, he is very busy." ”
Obviously, at this time, Fu Mingxia had already learned how to deal with the reporter's answer in the few years of marrying Liang Jinsong. Every sentence is carefully taken care of family privacy and the confidentiality of the husband's current work.
For the sake of the child, Fu Mingxia can be said to have used up all her energy.
A woman who once lived in the whole world of diving has become a stay-at-home mother who is proficient in everything except diving. The hardships endured in this are really not easy.
Since the birth of the child, Fu Mingxia is not to say a springboard, and even the swimming pool she rarely has the opportunity to approach. For Fu Mingxia, this may be a gesture of returning to life.
But for such a former world champion, is life really so satisfactory after marriage? Apparently not. Perhaps the biggest regret is the lack of friends.
Living in Hong Kong, Fu Mingxia's heart only pays attention to her family, but she has no heart to be with the prosperity of Hong Kong. In contrast, Fu Mingxia's world is more of a series of spiritual sustenance such as competitions and diving.
Because Liang Jinsong has a lot of financial business in the mainland, the couple often has the opportunity to go to Beijing. But every time Fu Mingxia went to Beijing, all she could see was her mentor Yu Fen, and Fu Mingxia, the team member, had never seen it.
In fu mingxia's words: "08 Olympics, they (diving team) must be under a lot of pressure, I dare to bother." ”
But the real reason is more unbearable! I couldn't bear to see the place that carried all my life. I can't bear to let myself become a "bump" for my brothers and sisters on the road to advancement.
Needless to say about the feelings of The Mentor Yu Fen, in addition to the awe between the master and the disciple, there is also a family relationship between mother and daughter. Fu Mingxia, who was brushed off the gymnastics team that year, originally had no chance to enter the diving team.
Fu Mingxia, who has thick joints and unsatisfactory length of her feet, is not particularly dominant from the congenital. However, Yu Fen saw Fu Mingxia's understanding and insisted on recruiting Fu Mingxia to join the team, which led to the "Diving Queen" in the back.
But as athletes, fierce competition has long been a part of their lives. Between them and their teammates, in addition to the friendship of The Same Ze, all that remains is the cruel survival of the fittest.
This is no exaggeration, the competition of the national team is far more cruel than the competition that ordinary people can contact. As far as the 2000 Sydney Olympics is concerned, the most direct result of Fu Mingxia's return and victory is that Guo Jingjing's Olympic gold medal is missing. So there are hardly any real friends on the diving team.
When she was a teenager, because of swimming, Fu Mingxia gained honors and statuses that her peers could not imagine. But the price paid is the lack of affection between childhood and family. Fu Mingxia, who rarely returns home to accompany her parents, may have used all the regrets she had for her family to accompany her children.
For a woman who has once reached the peak, the road back to ordinary life is not easy, but people can see a person who works harder than on the field in the past.
The spoiled wife demon angrily rebuked tens of billions of people to buy a hospital to prepare for his wife to give birth to four children
In 2008, Fu Mingxia gave birth to a son for Liang Jinsong again. As a mother of three children, Fu Mingxia also shifted all her focus to her children later in life.
Especially after her daughter went to kindergarten, fu Mingxia's desk was only placed on various "parenting classics".
Fast forward to another ten years, Fu Mingxia seems to have adapted to the life of a full-time wife. In the past ten years, the outside world has repeatedly rumored that the couple has changed their marriage, but in the end, the husband and wife have broken the rumors in their own way.
In 2019, Fu Mingxia went to United Family Hospital for treatment because of a cold. During the period, Fu Mingxia said: "The service of this hospital is really good." Fu Mingxia's inadvertent words made Liang Jinsong hang on his heart.
So Liang Jinsong spent 10 billion yuan to buy the most luxurious hospital in Asia.
The outside world has always believed that Liang Jinsong bought the United Family in order to let Fu Mingxia have four children with peace of mind, so Fu Mingxia was also quite moved. Because I bought a hospital in one sentence, the only one who spoiled his wife was Liang Jinsong!
Now that three years have passed, Fu Mingxia's fourth child has still not moved, but the love between the two is still sweet. Liang Jinsong's career continues, and now Liang Jinsong has become an independent director of China Construction Bank. In terms of its financial strength and status, it can be said that it is not much in the rich circle of all Of China.
But even if Liang Jinsong's status is high, Fu Mingxia is also his pride in his heart. Being able to marry the diving queen of the "Chinese Diving Dream Team" home may be the luckiest thing that Liang Jinsong feels.
As long as there is a public occasion with Fu Mingxia, when Liang Jinsong introduces himself again, he will proudly say "I am Fu Mingxia's husband."
Among the famous people in history, there are not a few men who have children at the age of 70. If the time is lucky, it may not be long before you will see the news that Fu Mingxia's four children are on the hot search.
Whether it is Liang Jinsong or Fu Mingxia, both of them were once the characters of "a thousand sails over" and "looking at the Wushan Mountain", perhaps in their eyes, there is really the true meaning of life that we ordinary people cannot touch. May the two of them continue to be happy and happy in their lives thereafter.
