Before Wu Minxia became the "diving queen", she was commented on more than once that she had "no talent" and may never become the world's top diver, but she proved herself with countless medals and honors in her career, becoming a world champion as well-known as her senior sister Guo Jingjing, and even being called the "diving queen".
Behind her brilliant results, she has overdrawn her body training countless times, and under high-intensity self-training, she insisted on retiring from the 2016 Rio Olympics before returning to her family, and married her lover Zhang Xiaocheng, who has been by her side for many years. After working hard for her career for many years, it is difficult to hide her happiness from the second child parenting life she recently shared on social platforms.
Wu Minxia was born in a poor family, she is the hope of the whole family, since she has the impression, her mother has been taking injections and medicine, her physical condition is repeated, and the family's expenses can only fall on her father, who is working.
Although the economic situation is not good, the family loves each other, which can be regarded as a joy in hardship. Later, in time for the children's sports school to select the athlete seedling, Wu Minxia stood out among the children with poor discipline and endurance.
In this way, at the age of six, she had already decided on the road she wanted to take in the future - diving. It's just that when she came to the sports school where the candidates were carefully selected, she was not the most talented child, and even the progress was much behind others at the beginning.
In order to catch up with the progress and not waste her parents' expectations and efforts, she knew how to "make up for shortcomings with diligence" at a young age, and later she was even a good seedling with excellent comprehensive quality in the team.
At the age of sixteen, she was successfully selected by the Beijing team and began to participate in the National Games, so far, this child, who has been commented by various authoritative coaches more than once as "not very talented", began to emerge.
In fact, for athletes whose real physical conditions are suitable for diving, Wu Minxia's bone density and hemoglobin are not high enough, and the training intensity after coming to the national team is not to mention, which is almost not what she can bear.
Since 1995, the voice of "she can't become a top diver" has been ringing in my ears. But give up? Wu Minxia has always been unsteady in her heart, she chose to leave all the voices behind, focus on training again and again, and find confidence from the "leap of faith" on the diving platform again and again.
All possibilities are created from the seemingly impossible. Finally, in 2001, she got the opportunity to share the three-meter springboard double jump with Guo Jingjing, and lived up to expectations and won the gold medal with her senior sister. This is the best reward for her not giving up for so many years, and she has finally proven herself in a world-class event.
If this time is thick and thin, then in 2004 she and Guo Jingjing again won the double three-meter springboard gold medal and the single runner-up, which is to prove that she is not lucky but really strong.
Almost desperate training, in addition to bringing recognition, there is also a body of pain, professional athletes, especially the "main force" in world-class competitions always have different physical "wear and tear", Wu Minxia waist, hips and legs have different degrees of injuries.
Many people think that she is completely overdrawing her body in this state and can't last long, but she persevered until 2016, when she was thirty-one years old, and the awards she won even surpassed Guo Jingjing, and she became the "queen" of the national diving industry.
Just after she retired in 2016, her boyfriend Zhang Xiaocheng officially proposed to her the following year. Her career as an athlete is over, and her life really begins.
Zhang Xiaocheng, a sports broadcaster who met Wu Minxia at the Beijing Olympics, graduated from the Communication University of China and was a commentator on the diving session that year because of his high level of English. For many years after the two met, it was Zhang Xiaocheng who silently supported Wu Minxia through difficult training again and again.
The relationship between the two was officially made public in 2014, and since then Wu Minxia has had Zhang Xiaocheng on the scene in every game. In fact, as a national team athlete, Wu Minxia is usually busy with training, and there is no time to fall in love, and the two may only meet once a month or two, which is such a "platonic" love run, and she is lucky to the end.
In 2017, the two proposed marriage in one go. At the end of the year after they got married, they had a child and their favorite daughter. After leaving the national team, Wu Minxia's life visibly relaxed, and she began to have more time to share her life on short videos and social platforms, and it is no exaggeration to say that her pregnancy was spent under the witness of netizens.
After having a daughter, she became a "dazzling female crazy demon", and also shared an experience of a child fever and her husband's trouble. Because the cause was not found in time, the child once burned to the extent of vomiting and diarrhea, and even convulsions, and later did four waist punctures to gradually find the cause and control it, and since then the couple has been more experienced and cautious as parents.
Just in February this year, the two once again revealed the good news that they will have a second child, and with the experience of taking care of their daughter, the couple will be more handy than before for the birth and care of their son. After officially upgrading the family of four, their state also looks very happy, even if they said that they were unprepared for the arrival of the second child at first, but they still felt the impact of unexpected joy.
Wu Minxia's current life looks no different from any ordinary and happy ordinary family, but it is not easy for her to obtain today's "ordinary happiness", and it can even be said that it is a life of "turning over against the wind", coming out of a poor family, with great courage and firm faith, itself surpasses many people.
There is also a little luck behind the effort, Zhang Xiaocheng's love for her is also visible to the naked eye, he has done his best to take care of his wife throughout the pregnancy, understanding her difficulty in giving birth, and will massage his wife every day. I hope that in the future, this family of four can still maintain today's happy state!
