"We are together and do not break the law, and it does not affect anyone, let them say what others like to say!" This is what Li Nan said to her husband Shi Zhihao! The 23-year gap between them, not to mention before, is now incredible!
Shi Zhihao, born in 1959, is currently the vice president of the ITTF and the vice president of Shanghai Institute of Sport. In the eighties of last century, Shi Zhihao, as the main player of Chinese men's table tennis, has participated in many competitions. He has played well in both singles and doubles events. After retiring from the military, he went to Japan to study.
As the coach of the Chinese women's team, she brought out Olympic champions such as Wang Nan, Li Xiaoxia and Zhang Yining. But also because of the abandonment of Guo Yue and Li Xiaoxia, resulting in the defeat of the Chinese women's table tennis team to Moscow, it was condemned by public opinion. In 2012, Shi Zhihao gave up her candidacy as head coach of the women's team. He believes that more young coaches should be allowed to grow! Shi Zhihao's former wife is Chinese table tennis queen Cao Yanhua! In the eighties of the last century, the Chinese table tennis team forbade players to fall in love with each other. To this end, the 23-year-old Cao Yanhua chose to retire and married Shi Zhihao in 1986. And soon gave birth to a son. Perhaps due to work reasons, Shi Zhihao and Cao Yanhua got together less and separated more, and a gap gradually developed between the two. In 1999, the two chose to divorce due to incompatible personalities. The son lives with Cao Yanhua.
After the divorce, Cao Yanhua devoted himself to his career until he remarried low-key at the age of 57, and his husband is said to be a rich man, and he is also very handsome, reaching a height of 1.9 meters. For Cao Yanhua, this is undoubtedly, as long as it is right, even if it is late, it is worth it, and now the two live very happily.
Li Nan was born in Tianjin in 1982. It was also once one of the main players of the Chinese women's table tennis team. Although the results are not particularly top-notch, they have won the championship in singles and doubles in many open tournaments. It's just that in the talented Chinese women's table tennis team, it is not easy to stand out. As the coach of the women's team, Shi Zhihao has been in love with Li Nan for a long time because of his frequent contact. However, as the head coach Shi Zhihao took the lead in falling in love and violated the rules, coupled with the women's team's defeat in Moscow, under pressure, Li Nan retired in 2009 and married Shi Zhihao in Tianjin in 2010. In 2012, they already had their own daughter.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the movie "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" will be staged. In the process of filming, Shi Zhihao and Li Nan as special guidance, special training for Deng Chao, who starred Cai Zhenhua, also allowed the film to restore some realistic scenes of the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships. Cai Zhenhua and Kong Linghui, as the promotion ambassadors of the film, made fans look forward to this movie.
The combination of Shi Zhihao and Li Nan is even more lamenting that there is a difference of 23 years. And Shi Zhihao's son Shi Zexi was born in 1993, only 11 years younger than Li Nan. Daughter Li Zenan was born in 2012, 19 years younger than his son Shi Zexi. This family combination has a large age interval!
