There was once a popular saying in the Chinese table tennis world: "Marry Liu Guozheng when you marry someone", and you can imagine the popularity of Liu Guozheng in the Chinese table tennis team. Liu Guozheng, who became famous at a young age, can stand out among the many talented players in national table tennis and be remembered by everyone, there must be his superiority, and in addition to making some achievements in the table tennis career, the marriage of Liu Guozheng and his wife Lu Lu has also become a love story in the public's mouth.
Liu Guozheng is from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, because his father likes table tennis, when he was young, he often went with his father to watch others play ball, and it was most of the day. After a long time, Liu Guozheng became curious about the sport of table tennis. Later, he began to try to play table tennis on his own, and his father saw that he liked it and played very well, so he decided to send him to the sports school for professional training.
It turns out that his father's decision was very correct for Liu Guozheng. The talent that Liu Guozheng showed in table tennis made the coach of the sports school praise, coupled with Liu Guozheng's modesty and hard work, so he became the leader of the sports school table tennis team in a very short period of time. The coach feels that Liu Guozheng is not a thing in the pool, and also hopes that he can enter the national team in the future and stand on a broader stage to win glory for the country.
Liu Guozheng, who has been associated with table tennis since he was a child, has played all the way from sports school to the provincial team, and from the provincial team to the national team. In 1994, Liu Guozheng entered the national second team, when he was only 14 years old. Although Liu Guozheng, who first arrived at the national second team, saw more intense training and felt unprecedented pressure, he was more excited than ever, and he plunged into the training hall to continue to fight, and his next goal was to be promoted to the national first team.
In 1995, the 15-year-old Liu Guozheng achieved a small goal on the road to chasing his dreams, successfully selected into the national first team, and became teammates with Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui. Being able to advance into the national team not only represents that Liu Guozheng's strength has been recognized, but also means that Liu Guozheng will shoulder more arduous responsibilities from now on. Liu Guozheng did not live up to everyone's expectations of him, and after entering the team, he followed the Chinese table tennis team to participate in a number of competitions, and won the national men's singles championship and the men's team championship of the Asian Championships.
The 2001 World Table Tennis Championships can be said to be the peak of Liu Guozheng's sports career. At that time, Liu Guozheng reached the semifinals with Ma Lin and Kong Linghui. After that, the Chinese team and the South Korean team played a 2-2 draw, which also made the next game more exciting. The fifth set was Liu Guozheng and the South Korean team Kim Taek-so against each other, at the beginning Liu Guozheng was not in good shape, and also lost a point first, when everyone pinched a sweat, if Liu Guozheng lost another point, the Chinese team would not qualify for the final of the World Table Tennis Championships.
Fortunately, Liu Guozheng quickly adjusted his state, and in the next game, with a mentality of not being in danger and solid skills, he saved 7 match points in succession, successfully won that game, and also let the Chinese team enter the final final. Liu Guozheng has since become famous, and more fans have begun to pay attention to the young youngster. However, unfortunately, although Liu Guozheng has also achieved good results since then, he has fallen into a trough due to the adjustment of international competition rules and other reasons. In 2008, Liu Guozheng officially retired due to injury.
After retiring from the army, Liu Guozheng did not choose to transform, but stayed in the national team and became a trainee coach. At the same time, it was this choice that allowed him to meet his wife Lu Lu, who had been with him all his life. Lu Lu is a member of the Beijing women's table tennis team, nearly ten years younger than Liu Guozheng. The two met at Beijing Sport University, and after a period of getting along, Lu Lu felt that Liu Guozheng was mature and stable, humble and had a very good personality, so she established a relationship with him.
Although the two did not have any vigorous experience after they were together, the warmth of the long stream of thin water was enough to support them into the palace of marriage. In April 2010, after spending nearly two years in love, Liu Guozheng finally married Lu Lu back home, and the enviable fairy couple also ushered in a happy ending.
After marriage, Liu Guozheng and Lu Lu were still busy with their respective careers, Liu Guozheng continued to serve as an assistant coach in the national team, and Lu Lu became the coach of the second team of table tennis, but later Lu Lu put more emphasis on his family and willingly became the woman behind Liu Guozheng. In their marriage, Liu Guo is the one who decides on the major affairs of the family and is in charge of the financial power, while Lu Lu, as a good wife and mother, is responsible for taking care of the small family of the two, the husband and wife have a clear division of labor, there is almost no dispute, and the life after marriage is happy and sweet.
Because he has his wife as his solid backing and pays without complaint or regret, Liu Guozheng has never worried about trivial matters at home, which also allows him to have more time to focus on his career. Liu Guo will inevitably encounter ups and downs in his work, but Lu Lu, who is also a table tennis player, can always comfort him and enlighten him at the first time, and he has also risen from assistant coach all the way to the head coach of the men's table tennis national second team. However, Liu Guozheng, who is running around the work, has not forgotten his small family, as long as he is not busy with training, he will rush home for the first time to accompany his wife and daughter and enjoy a warm family time.
After that, Liu Guozheng joined the national table tennis head coaching team, served as the head of the coaching team, and also became the head coach of the national table tennis player Wang Chuqin, continuing to lead the Chinese table tennis team to create brilliance. However, recently it was reported that Liu Guozheng has submitted his resignation and is ready to leave the national team and go to Tsinghua University to coach. This news shocked many fans. However, since Liu Guozheng can make this decision, his wife Lu Lu must support him, and we also believe that in the future days, no matter what position he holds, Liu Guozheng will continue to carry forward the cause of table tennis!
