Hong Kong media "Dagong Net" once reported such a "rumor" that gold medal coach Jin Wei and his proud female disciple Liu Zige registered for marriage.
When Jin Wei learned of this news, he jumped to his feet, claiming that the media was too ridiculous, such a false thing could be made up, and people saw that Jin Wei reacted so violently, and it was also the so-called "lace news" that came out of the media.
However, it wasn't long before the two did announce their marriage, and the publicity of the 23-year-old master-apprentice couple was really surprising.
Jin Wei Liu Zige from acquaintance to marriage
Gold medal coach Jin Wei was once a member of the national swimming team, and after retiring from retirement, he went to the MML club in Australia as a swimming coach until a few years later, when Jin Wei returned to China to develop, and it was this decision that allowed him to discover Liu Zige.
Since the age of 15, Liu Zige was discovered by Jin Wei for swimming talent and was brought to Shanghai for training. Because Liu Zige was still young at that time, Jin Wei was not only very helpful to Liu Zige in training, but also took good care of her in her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The talented Liu Zige successfully entered the national swimming team and won the gold medal at the Olympic Games. Since then, Liu Zige is no longer the girl who is very good at swimming, but has become the world champion in people's mouths, and Jin Wei is also known as the "gold medal coach".
Liu Zige felt that if there was no excavation of Jin Wei at the beginning, it would not be possible to have her current achievements. In order to thank Jin Wei for his efforts and cultivation over the past ten years, Liu Zige took out his own bonus and savings to buy a car of more than 1.7 million yuan for Jin Wei in return.
The media saw that the two were so close, so they became more and more interested in the real relationship between Jin Wei and Liu Zige. Later, there were also media reports that the two were ostensibly in a mentor-apprentice relationship, but in fact they had been licensed to marry.
Jin Wei was furious after learning of such rumors in the media, claiming not to spread false information blindly, even if the lace news was over, even if he got married, he dared to spread it casually. People see that Jin Wei's attitude is so tough, it is only a unilateral rumor in the media.
Who knows how long it was before the two really made the news of their marriage public. The age difference between the two masters and apprentices was as high as 23 years old, which was once unacceptable to people.
The storm is continuous, and it is banned by the industry due to scandals
Since the love affair between Jin Wei and Liu Zige was exposed, the attention of the media and the public to the two has continued to rise. Some media have pulled out that Jin Wei had married two wives before marrying Liu Zige, both of whom were his female disciples, but the relationship also ended in failure.
Such precedents have given people a different view of Jin Wei's personality, but Liu Zige does not seem to be affected by Jin Wei's two pasts, and even has a good relationship with the daughter born to Jin Wei's ex-wife. The 23-year-old age difference did not stop her marriage to Jin Wei.
The two people who were at the center of the public opinion storm slowly stopped paying much attention with the passage of time, but one thing completely made Jin Wei banned by the swimming industry.
In the Rio Olympics, another of Jin Wei's apprentices, Chen Xinyi, won the fourth place, but not long after the competition, Chen Xinyi was revealed to be taking banned drugs during the competition, which was contrary to the spirit of the competition.
For a time, Chen Xinyi became the target of public criticism, she could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, and frankly said that Jin Wei forced her to take the forbidden drug for the glory and honor of her career.
As soon as this remark came out, Jin Wei was suddenly pushed to the cusp of the storm, marrying his female disciple three times and forcing the apprentice to compete to take forbidden drugs, and the reputation of the "gold medal coach" became particularly ironic at this moment.
And it was Jin Wei's absurd behavior that made him banned by the swimming industry and was no longer allowed to engage in this industry for life.
Escape abroad to start a new life
Unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion and employment, Jin Wei fled to Australia with his wife Liu Zige and began to live an emigration. And Liu Zige's swimming achievements after marriage were difficult to break through for a long time, and Jin Wei was banned by the industry, so she had to give up her swimming dream.
Years have passed, and the matter of Jin Wei and Liu Zige has slowly faded out of people's sight. The once talented butterfly world champion Liu Zige and gold medal coach Jin Wei seemed like just a dream.
The two who chose to emigrate abroad to start a new life also gave birth to a small baby, and the family of three lived a dull life.
Perhaps they will also miss the glory of the field, or perhaps people will inadvertently mention the dazzling two in the past, but life is like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge.
Whether it was a better life or a dull life of giving up their careers is happier now, only they know.
People may feel that the marriage of the two is ridiculous, and may also regret the honor and glory of the two, if they come again, they may also make different choices, but the current ordinary life is not a kind of happiness for them?
