In 2002, 21-year-old Zhang Yining won her first World Cup women's singles championship.
Succeeded Wang Nan, won 19 world championships, surpassed her predecessor Deng Yaping, and became the leader of a new generation of Chinese women's table tennis.
However, at the peak of his career, Zhang Yining reported the news of retirement and marriage.
A gorgeous girl with no emotional experience, married to a financial rich man who has been entangled with female stars for 12 years and is 20 years older than herself?
Is their union because of love, or because of money?
01 My surname is Zhang, arrogant Zhang
"Girls can only be female soldiers, what kind of male soldiers"
When she was a child, playing table tennis was not Zhang Yining's first choice, on the contrary, her biggest dream was to become a male soldier, but her mother's words dispelled all her thoughts, and "her heart was like a dead ash" at the mercy of her parents.
Learning to sing and dance, Dad and Mom strive to make Zhang Yining, who is masculine in appearance and personality, into an elegant and versatile lady.
In this regard, she dismissed it, but made an obedient appearance compared to the gourd painting scoop, until she was 5 years old, when the appearance of her uncle rescued her from the "sea of fire".
In four years, Zhang Yining, who was sent to the table tennis team by her uncle, has made great progress, but her mentality has become her fatal injury.
At the age of 9, although she won her first championship, the glued battle situation and the pressure of her opponents made her cry.
As he grew older, after joining the national team, Zhang Yining, because he was quietly strong in his heart because of losing and winning, was given the nickname of "old cadre" by Li Falcon.
The biggest factor that made her become like this was feeling the sinister from society.
"I win you once, you scold me, I win you twice, you talk about me, I win you three times, you are honest"
At that time, the national team was divided into veterans and recruits, and sometimes the newcomers came out too quickly, and the veterans would come forward to "scare", although Zhang Yining was small but a stubborn temper.
When the Athens Olympics were approaching, Zhang Yining, who had an emotional breakdown, did not hesitate to prick his thigh with an awl in order to stimulate himself.
After losing many times and leaving a wound, she took over the gold medal from the second Grand Slam winner, Wang Nan.
In the Olympic Games, championships, and Asian Games, Zhang Yining's super high appearance rate and win rate made the Chinese national flag raise again and again in the arena.
The world ranking also rose to the first place, surpassing senior sister Wang Nan.
"It's nothing to defeat once, I still have to learn from Wang Nan, I'm so young, there is still a long way to go"
In the face of the reporter's interview, there is no longer the arrogance on the field.
In 2011, Zhang Yining, the "big devil" who won all the championships and could not find an opponent, officially announced his retirement.
And this title, on the one hand, is because of her glorious achievements, on the other hand, because of her whole style and aura.
"Sometimes as soon as you shake hands with the other person, that person feels like they have lost"
The style of the ball is good to say, that is, the ball is fast and fierce, and it is difficult for the opponent to break through her all-round defense while being caught off guard.
As for the aura, Zhang Yining's Versailles was confirmed in Ai Fukuhara.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the big demon king Zhang Yining met the little crying bag Fukuhara Ai.
Because there is a rule in the team that is not a rule, you cannot play the opponent 11-0, so there is this negative teaching material that is still talked about after many years.
There are many ways to get the ball, but she chose the most straightforward: suicide throwing the ball.
10 points of ball skills, 1 point of acting skills, let netizens laugh more than once: Ai Fukuhara was not beaten to cry, but was "humiliated" by your action and cried.
"You can't send it to the sky, you can only send it under the stage!"
Zhang Yining didn't notice it himself, and whenever he recalled this very good handicap, he always justifiably contradicted everyone.
Her excellent ball skills and hearty personality have made her have many fans and people who like her.
02 Is it true love or ulterior motives?
It stands to reason that his career is so successful, his appearance is not bad, and there are countless fans, and there should be no shortage of suitors behind Zhang Yining.
But she did not have a relationship until she was 27 years old, which made her parents very worried that her daughter would become a "leftover girl" and what if she couldn't get married?
When she learned that someone had introduced her daughter to someone, Zhang's mother agreed without thinking.
After the meeting, Xu Wei took the initiative to break the silence and talked about the table tennis that Zhang Yining was good at and liked himself.
A happy meal is spent in the caring care of men.
At first, the parents of the Zhang family were worried that Xu Wei was old, whether his daughter would be deceived, and whether she would have a bad life after marriage.
But Xu Wei's progress and retreat between his manners and the elegant gentleman between his words made the old couple more and more satisfied, but Zhang Yining's heart was a little awkward.
Busy with training all day and having never been in love, she hopes that her future husband can make her experience a vigorous love.
And Xu Wei, who has been entangled with his ex-girlfriend, Yuan Lifen, for 12 years and has a 20-year-old age difference, is obviously not the person she is looking for.
Perhaps knowing her daughter's thoughts, Mother Zhang secretly became a military master for her future son-in-law.
Climbing mountains, doubles and sparring at the table, Xu Wei planned just right again and again, and hit her heart without a point.
Although the result was that she won, the back of him silently picking up the ball over and over again moved her a little.
At this time, she knew that this was the taste of being pampered, and she slowly let go of the mustard in her heart.
On October 18, 2009, the rich, big coffee, and national table tennis athletes in the Grand Hyatt Hotel gathered together, and Zhang Yining and Xu Wei, who have been in love for a long time, will get married today.
Because the security personnel and celebrants involved in the wedding signed a confidentiality agreement long before the wedding, the wedding was basically relatives and friends of both parties.
If Zhang Yining, who plays with a smile, makes people's hearts bristle.
Then her smile at the wedding is particularly gentle and brilliant.
And Li Falcon also had the mood of marrying her daughter, and told the groom over and over again: I hope you can give her the happiness that a woman should have after marriage.
But even if there were no reporters at the wedding scene and no relevant reports, the news that the Olympic champion Zhang Yining married an old man 20 years older still spread, and in an instant, the combination of the two became the focus of everyone's discussion.
Some people wish that the "Great Devil" has finally found true love, but more often it is a voice of doubt and incomprehension.
You say that you are a top athlete in the table tennis industry, and there are no excellent young men among your peers? Do you have to marry an "old man"?
"We have a lot of common hobbies and topics, the three views are similar, and the most important thing is that he is very good at hurting people"
Whenever a reporter asked this question, she would always say it sincerely and calmly, and he did not live up to her praise.
03 The best choice
After getting married, Zhang Yining is still in the rising stage of his career and is still young, and it is not impossible to continue to fight and create history.
But she quickly calmed down from the flowers and applause and entered Beijing Sport University for graduate studies.
At this time, netizens who do not know why are also confused, is this not a precursor to the retirement of athletes?
Sure enough, a year later, Zhang Yining officially announced his retirement, thinking that he would finally be able to reunite with her husband who lived apart, but who knew that his body issued an emergency warning.
The high-intensity training in the early years made her uncomfortable when she suddenly stopped training.
As soon as Xu Wei heard this, he immediately hung up the expert number, found the best doctor, personally drove his wife to the hospital every week for rehabilitation, and often helped her Tuina at home.
His kindness to her made her feel guilty.
According to his life plan, he will study abroad and further his studies next, and he does not want to be held back by his family.
At the same time, she also understood that Xu Wei wanted a child when she was old and sought stability, and the guilt in her heart made her temporarily put aside her future.
In 2012, the long-awaited wish of the two finally came true and gave birth to their daughter in Hong Kong - Pretty Beautiful.
Xu Wei, who is a new father, is not only happy in his heart, but also distressed.
In the face of this wife who silently endured the pain of childbirth and forced not to shout a word "pain", he couldn't wait to accompany her twenty-four hours a day to take care of her.
But he couldn't do anything, he could only keep giving Zhang Yining large pocket money and courtyard courtyards to make up for her in his own way.
When Xu Wei returned home, the first thing he did was to find his wife, and when he couldn't see her, his heart was up and down, and he was uncomfortable.
Qi Wei gave birth to a reduced version of herself, and Zhang Yining also gave birth to a reduced version of herself.
I don't know if it's genetics, or if my mother brings more, no matter who is holding it, it's all "indifferent" with a face.
In 2019, when Zhang Yining gave birth to her second child, Xu Wei did not despise it because it was the second child, but pushed off all his work and took 50 days of vacation to take care of her food, clothing, and living.
Although Xu Wei gave her all the favors, countless pocket money, and there were nannies, drivers, and cooks at home, Zhang Yining did not have the slightest consciousness of a wealthy wife.
When I have nothing to do, I like to go out to the market and cook a delicious meal for my husband, but outsiders don't think so.
Once, Zhang Yining walked to the vegetable market, originally living leisurely and comfortably, but was accused by the Hong Kong media, all married to a rich man or so shabby?
Originally, she didn't take it seriously, but her husband Xu Wei was so angry that he immediately came up with a good idea.
"Go out to buy groceries and take a Rolls-Royce in the future, and let the driver pick you up"
The childish behavior of a child suddenly made Zhang Yining cry and laugh, thinking that it was not a matter of a few steps, how could it be so troublesome?
But when it comes to the face of the giants, how can Xu Wei compromise?
In addition to returning to his family, Zhang Yining has never given up the table tennis he has always loved, let alone his career.
Studying at the University of Wisconsin, he served as the assistant dean of the upper body table tennis academy, not only got a master's degree, but also had a new career and job.
In addition to coaching and promoting table tennis on a daily basis, she decided to serve as an Olympic Day table tennis promotion ambassador without pay and free of charge.
Occasionally, he also makes a cameo appearance as a table tennis host and docent, which is why this domineering scene is created.
On the field, she unceremoniously complained that the Chinese team members did not play very well, there were too many senseless mistakes, and some people behind could not listen, shouting at her: You can do it, you go up.
Even after retiring for many years, the former "Great Devil" did not have the slightest intimidation, and responded with a faint smile: I will go up.
epilogue
Now 41 years old and retired for 11 years, although Zhang Yining is not in the arena, there will always be her legend in the table tennis world.
Although marriage is a grave for some people, it is a paradise of love for Zhang Yining, who has both children and daughters, a husband who loves her husband and has countless net worth.
