I believe that many people have heard the story of Sunland when they were young, and there is an article in the primary school text "Smile to Face Everything", which describes Sunland.
At the 1998 World Friendship Games, Sunland accidentally had an accident when she participated in the vaulting horse competition, when she should have landed on her feet, she made a major mistake in her movements, which directly caused her to fall head down, at this time her body was completely unconscious, the people around her were frightened and rushed up, the staff of the stadium sent Sunland to the hospital for treatment, after the doctor's diagnosis, it was found that Sunland had a fracture of the spine and a paraplegia below the chest, which also doomed the second half of Sunland's life to be spent in a wheelchair.
Sunland after the injury
Lu Yufei's first sentence when she got up after she dropped the bar was to ask the coach: Can I still turn it over?
And what Sunland said when she woke up from a serious illness was no different, she asked the team leader at the time, Zhao Yuxin: When can I go back to training?
For a while, everyone in the ward was touched by Sunland, they avoided Sunland's question with their eyes, no one was willing to tell Sunland the truth, and everyone's eyes were full of tears, not wanting to see this girl ruin her career.
Sunland learned of her paraplegia after three days of coma, but this news did not knock her down, optimistic and strong she began to receive treatment in the United States, during which the former President of the United States Ronald Reagan Carter, as well as the famous movie star Leonardo and singer Celine Dion have come to visit her, at that time Sunland was loved by many American people, she touched countless people with optimism and strength.

Soon, her parents came to the United States from Home to visit Sunland, Sunland's mother told reporters that she would never show a sad expression in front of everyone, although everyone saw Sunland was brave to face all difficulties, but at night, Sunland secretly cried alone.
Later, the Chinese-American Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong were entrusted by the Chinese Gymnastics Association to be responsible for the life of the Three Sunland family in the United States, Liu Guosheng and his wife had sponsored the Chinese gymnastics team and the swimming team in their early years, and were two foreign businessmen, and the couple also took care of the Life of the Sunland family of three in the United States for 10 months, but after more than ten years, Sunland took Xie Xiaohong's son to court.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > the advanced history of "gymnastic genius"</h1>
Born in 1981, Sunland was born in an ordinary family in Ningbo, at that time Sunland's parents did not understand sports, and they did not want to let their daughter engage in sports work, when Sunland was 5 years old, the teacher of the sports school came to Sunland's kindergarten to select seedlings, and Sunland, who was in good physical condition, was immediately looked at by the teachers of the sports school, so he obtained the consent of Sunland's parents and took Sunland to the sports school to practice gymnastics.
Sunland as a child
At the age of 6, Sunland officially entered the gymnastics school, but gymnastics is no more than other sports, although they look light and agile on the field, looking like a goddess, but behind the scenes, they do not know how much effort they have put in.
Fortunately, Sunland is particularly able to endure hardships, she listens to the coach's words at a young age, in order to make herself more excellent, Sunland not only immerses herself in hard training during training time, sometimes even has to be "opened a small stove" by the coach, but so hard is not in vain, Sunland because of her excellent performance and good physical fitness from Ningbo Sports School to Zhejiang Sports School to study, a year later joined the Zhejiang Province professional sports team.
At that time, ten-year-old Sunland participated in the Provincial Games, and she let everyone see her progress with her excellent performance, winning the first place in the high and low bars, vaulting, free gymnastics, balance beam and all-around pentathlon, and it was for this reason that Sunland was favored by the coach of the national team.
Two years later, at just 12 years old, Sunland entered the national team. Since then, Sunland has started her career, in the next series of competitions that Sunland participated in, she has a very good performance, and is regarded as a bright new star by the gymnastics team, but what she never expected is that this game in 1998 completely ruined Sunland's career.
But despite the collapse of the body, the career is gone, the strong Sunland still survived, she did not give up her fate because of this, she knows that there are still many people in the world who care about her, in many silent corners, many people are encouraged because of her story, so Sunland is ready to fight against fate, fortunately, in Sunland's side, there are many well-meaning people to help, Sunland was injured after the state gave 400,000 yuan compensation and a monthly wage subsidy of 2200 yuan, which played a great help to Sunland's future recovery. After recovering, Sunland insisted on self-training, and with the slow passage of time, Sunland could gradually complete simple things such as washing her face, brushing her teeth and so on independently, but if she wanted to take care of herself independently, she still couldn't do it at all.
In 1999, Sunland met the famous sports agent Huang Jian under the introduction of his former teammate Mo Huilan, who was also an athlete and became an agent after retiring, he saw that Sunland's life was greatly touched, so he wanted to help Sunland from the bottom of his heart. So from 2000, Huang Jian became Sunland's agent, and then Sunland received some brokerage business, which made her life also have a great improvement.
Later, Sunland hosted a program called "Sunland 2008", and then her story was known to more people, but this strong girl was not satisfied with the status quo, she came to the School of Journalism and Communication of Peking University to study and improve herself, and began her road to radio and television.
After Sunland enrolled, agent Huang Jian also left her for Shenzhen development, where she also formed a family. Four years later, Huang Jian returned to Beijing to develop, after leaving Sunland, he failed to start a business, Sunland knew, took the initiative to help his old partner, and once again began a cooperative relationship with Huang Jian, in the two people day and night together, in addition to friendship, the two also gradually developed other ideas.
Huang Jian and Sunland
In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Sunland has no chance to participate as a gymnast, but she also became an Olympic torchbearer, and also served as a special correspondent for the Olympic Games, appearing in the Olympic arena in a different capacity, Sunland is not to mention how happy, her face is also full of smiles, seeing her so optimistic, people seem to forget what kind of pain she has suffered.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" > transformed into a "white-eyed wolf" and fell into infinite controversy</h1>
But later Sunland gradually changed, she was no longer as optimistic as before, but fell into people's doubts again and again.
In 2009, Huang Jian divorced his original wife and turned to the news that he was with Sunland, and in this year, Sunland was also caught in the "Nanny Gate" incident. The cause of this matter is that Sunland exposed a series of dereliction of duty of the little nanny working in her home in the blog, she wrote an article "What is domestic service", which exposed a series of dirty and messy corners of the home, the words were full of helplessness and coldness for this 2500 yuan high-paying little nanny, for which CCTV did several programs and interviews for Sunland, and finally ended with the little nanny's apology, but Sunland exposed the identity information of the little nanny and also triggered the discussion of netizens. And the change of 3 nannies in four months has also made everyone's view of Sunland slowly change.
In addition, Sunland's later practices have caused widespread controversy. In 2011, Sunland formed a team of lawyers in the United States, and she sued eight defendants in the United States, including Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong, who took care of her living, for a claim amount of up to $1.8 billion. For 17 years after her injury, Sunland has been accusing the Romanian coach Belu of removing the mat at the time, claiming that this behavior caused her to be affected and out of control during the jump, so Sunland believed that the removal of the mat was the main cause of Sunland's injury, so the American Gymnastics Association and the organizers of the Friendly Games were responsible.
But then there was new evidence that Sunland's accusation of "removing the mat" was a figment, sunland was not injured but due to her own jumping mistakes, and coach Belu, whom she accused, was even the first person to rush to her rescue.
But the new evidence was only exposed by Professor Sands in 2015, so when Sunland took the American Gymnastics Association and three insurance agencies to court in 2011, they chose an out-of-court settlement and compensated Sunland for $10 million and some medical expenses in China, and said that he would regularly pay a living allowance for Sunland every period of time thereafter, and Sunland also reached a settlement with them.
However, despite this, Sunland's case against Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong and his wife is not over, she alleged that during the period of accepting the custody and care of Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong, she was sexually assaulted by Xie Xiaohong's son Xue Weisen, but she could not file a case due to doubts about the evidence, and after three years, Sunland voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit, and the sky-high lawsuit could not be resolved, but because of this, Sanglan was crowned with the hat of "white-eyed wolf".
For this prosecution, Liu Guosheng and Xie Xiaohong also expressed despair, bluntly saying that "good intentions are not good to repay", and netizens also ridiculed them as the end of nosy things, so Sunland became a realistic portrayal of "farmers and snakes".

Until 2015, Xinhua News Agency published an article, the article showed that Sunland's injury has nothing to do with the removal of the mat, and pointed out that Sunland lied, the article also listed Professor Sands' research conclusions, it turned out that Professor Sands found the video of the scene, when the American gymnastics coach Carter filmed a video in order to use as a teaching video, just recorded the process of Sunland's injury, the real situation shows that Sunland was indeed injured because of personal error, and Coach Carter did not want Sunland to be hurt again, So he never released the video.
As soon as this matter came out, Sunland completely became a "liar" and "white-eyed wolf" in the mouths of netizens, and Sunland has also been in the midst of controversy, but there are still some netizens who express support for Sunland, and public opinion is polarized.
Then Sunland gradually disappeared from the public eye and began to be enthusiastic about public welfare, and then Sunland reappeared in variety shows in 2020, and now she is in a very good state, and she often appears with her son.
Sunland's family of three
The past has faded, and today Sunland's life is very happy, and no matter how controversial she was, the honors she once won for the country will not be forgotten, she is still a great athlete, and the glory that once belonged to her will not be erased.
