At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, a 13-year-old girl from China won the 10-meter platform championship, becoming the youngest gold medalist in Olympic history and becoming the focus of the world's attention.
This genius girl who came out of thin air was Fu Mingxia.
However, in addition to attracting attention to Fu Mingxia's achievements, her love life is also quite exciting, at that time, her relationship with Hong Kong rich people can be described as a sensation and has become the object of heated discussion.
01 Diving Queen
Fu Mingxia was born in an ordinary family of electric power workers, because her father loved sports, so he sent Fu Mingxia's sister Fu Mingyan to a sports school for gymnastics training.
Seeing this, Fu Mingyan, who was only 5 years old at the time, insisted on staying with her sister and did not want to leave, so in this way, Fu Mingxia studied gymnastics with her sister, and was selected for the provincial gymnastics team two years later.
But soon, Fu Mingxia's coach recommended her to go to the diving team, at this time Fu Mingxia could not even swim, but the diving coach Hu Demei was very busy, bringing several team members at the same time, so she didn't have much energy to take care of Fu Mingxia.
Therefore, Fu Mingxia's father personally came to the pool to teach her to swim, and her father's method was also simple and rude, directly tying a rope to Fu Mingxia's waist to help Fu Mingxia train.
Soon after entering the team, the coach arranged for Fu Mingxia to participate in the national junior diving competition held in Yingshan, Hubei Province, where Fu Mingxia achieved the penultimate result.
Even so, his father did not lose heart, but saw hope through Fu Mingxia's sophisticated and unhurried mentality during the competition, and Fu Mingxia, who was very calm, although her results were not good, she had the psychological qualities that an athlete should have.
Therefore, Fu Mingxia's father continued to support his daughter to stay on the diving team.
Later, the national team coach Yu Fen came to Fu Mingxia's team to select team members, and took a glimpse of Fu Mingxia, and since then, Fu Mingxia has followed Yu Fen to practice hard for ten years.
During this period, Fu Mingxia transformed from a rookie standing on the stage and not making any movements to a difficult diver who can accurately master difficult divers.
In 1990, Fu Mingxia participated in the International Open Diving Championship held in Florida, USA, and won the first place with a score of 436.98, which also made Fu Mingxia officially start her championship career.
In 1992, Fu Mingxia won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter platform at the 25th Olympic Games, and was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest athlete in Olympic history.
She went on to win the 7th World Aquatics Championships in 1994, the 9th World Cup Diving Championships in 1995, and the Olympic Games in 1996.
At this point, Fu Mingxia also achieved the "Grand Slam" of Olympic women's diving, and chose to retire in the same year.
In 1998, Fu Mingxia made a comeback and won her fourth Olympic gold medal at the 2000 Olympic Games with an overwhelming advantage.
Since then, Fu Mingxia has chosen to retire again and gradually faded out of people's vision.
Until her relationship with Hong Kong Financial Secretary Leung Kam-song was exposed, Fu Mingxia once again became the object of heated discussion. How did the two meet?
02 The special identity of the two
The two first met in March 2001, when Fu Mingxia appeared as the guest of honor at the "Hong Kong Outstanding Leaders" award ceremony at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, and Leung Kam-song also attended the ceremony as the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong.
Perhaps it was under the arrangement of fate that Fu Mingxia's seat was arranged next to Liang Jinsong, and Liang Jinsong naturally noticed Fu Mingxia.
During the banquet, after seeing Fu Mingxia's brows furrowed in a daze, Liang Jinsong wittily took out a "mine removal" game in an electronic notepad from his pocket to help Fu Mingxia relieve her boredom.
Fu Mingxia had never played this game, so Liang Jinsong naturally became Fu Mingxia's instructor and taught Fu Mingxia to play hand in hand.
Even though during this period, Fu Mingxia started very slowly, Liang Jinsong always patiently guided on the side, very cordial, so that Fu Mingxia had a good impression of Liang Jinsong.
At this time, Fu Mingxia did not know Liang Jinsong's identity, and since then, the two have been in contact.
Although Liang Jinsong is busy with official business, he still makes time to visit Fu Mingxia and often accompanies Fu Mingxia by his side, and over time, the two have developed feelings for each other.
In view of Fu Mingxia's identity, soon, the relationship between the two of them was exposed, and as a result, Fu Mingxia once again became the focus of people's attention.
Although Fu Mingxia is a diving queen, this Liang Jinsong's identity is not ordinary, and she has made great contributions to Hong Kong's economy.
Leung Kam-song came from an ordinary family, but in the future, he was admitted to the University of Hong Kong, the highest university in Hong Kong, with his hard study.
After graduating from HKU, Leung went to the United States twice for further study, and completed the Harvard Business School Management Development Program and the Advanced Management Program, laying a solid foundation for his future career in the financial industry.
During the entire period of study, Liang Jinsong has actually begun to emerge in the financial world.
After graduating from HKU, Leung went to Citibank Hong Kong, and two years later, he was appointed by the company to the Philippines for training, becoming the first generation of masters in foreign exchange trading in Hong Kong.
During his tenure, Liang Jinsong created a lot of profits for Citibank and became a key training object of Citibank.
Then, in 1982, he was "sent by the government" to the United States to continue his studies.
After Leung completed his studies in the United States, he was sent by Citibank to New York, Singapore and other places, holding several important positions.
In 1992, Leung became president of Citibank Hong Kong, and four years later, Citibank offered him to serve as vice chairman of Citibank's head office, on the condition that Leung must immigrate to the United States.
In this regard, Liang Jinsong resolutely refused, and left Citibank to find another way.
For a talent like Leung Kam Song, Hong Kong's major banks naturally sent invitations to him, and in the end, Leung Kam Song chose Chase Bank of the United States.
And Leung Kam Song not only has high achievements in the banking industry, but also in social services, he has also done an excellent job.
He holds the title of Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and is the "treasurer" of Hong Kong, who has made a lot of contributions to Hong Kong's economic development.
03Step into the marriage hall
It is precisely because Liang Jinsong and Fu Mingxia have special identities that the relationship between the two has attracted much attention, not to mention, the two are 26 years apart, and people talk about their relationship, but Fu Mingxia and Liang Jinsong did not take this issue to heart.
They share the same values and believe that age cannot be a relationship between the two, as long as they truly love each other, these will not be a problem.
But Fu Mingxia's family is not optimistic about the relationship between the two.
As early as August 2001, Fu Mingyan learned about her sister's relationship with Liang Jinsong, and repeatedly advised Fu Mingxia to polish her eyes and not be deceived when interacting with Liang Jinsong.
In addition, Fu Mingxia's mother-in-law also has opinions and is very dismissive of Liang Jinsong, as Fu Mingxia's family, her mother-in-law does not care about Liang Jinsong's status, but is worried that outsiders will say anything about Fu Mingxia.
But the concerns of Fu Mingxia's family gradually disappeared with the performance given by Liang Jinsong in the future.
During the period when the two were in love, because Fu Mingxia was busy with her studies at Tsinghua University, she needed to stay in Beijing for a long time, while Liang Jinsong needed to handle affairs in Hong Kong, so the two often lived apart.
In order to fully support her boyfriend's career, Fu Mingxia had the idea of settling in Hong Kong.
Knowing that his girlfriend was so considerate, Leung Kam Song was very moved, and then generously admitted the fact of their love in front of the Hong Kong media, and hoped that the public could give them a certain amount of personal space.
In this way, the relationship between the two gradually stabilized, and after a year of dating, the marriage event was determined.
At this time, Fu Mingxia's course at Tsinghua University had not yet ended, and the two originally agreed to register their marriage after Fu Mingxia's studies were completed, and then announce the marriage to the public.
But unexpectedly, soon the news of the marriage of the two spread out, and in desperation, the two had to advance the marriage date.
However, Tsinghua University has relevant regulations for students to get married, and according to the Administrative Measures for Undergraduate Marriage Registration, the principle is that they are not allowed to get married, unless there are special circumstances, they need to apply to the university.
Therefore, Fu Mingxia explained the situation to the school, and after discussion, the school believed that although Fu Mingxia was only 25 years old, Liang Jinsong at this time was already over 50 years old and reached the age of late marriage.
In addition, the two parties have special status, and soon, their application was approved, and soon after, the two held a wedding.
After marriage, Fu Mingxia gave birth to three children successively, a husband and godson, and almost did not appear in the public's field of vision again, becoming Liang Jinsong's virtuous inner helper.
During this period, her relationship with Liang Jinsong was also very stable and lived happily.
Now, more than 20 years have passed, Fu Mingxia is 44 years old, and Liang Jinsong is 70 years old, but judging from the photos of the two attending recent events, they are both healthy and their faces are full of happiness.
Not only that, their eldest daughter is now over 19 years old, in order to congratulate, Liang Jinsong spent 80 million yuan to buy a mansion for his daughter, which shows how strong their family's economic strength is and how much Liang Jinsong loves his daughter.
Epilogue:
At first, most people were not optimistic about the relationship between Fu Mingxia and Liang Jinsong, but now decades have passed, and they have proved to us with practical actions that age is just a number, and in a relationship, what really stands between the two is not the generation gap between the two, but the gap in thought and cognition!
