At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the gymnasts of the Chinese team lost one after another, facing such a grim situation.
Li Xiaoshuang bravely used the "backflip three laps" under great pressure and won the championship with a high score of 9.925, which also won the only Olympic gold medal in gymnastics for the Chinese team at that time.
It also makes the world remember Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang, a pair of legendary twins.
On November 1, 1973, Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang were born in Xiantao City, Hubei Province.
On this ordinary day and ordinary place, no one thought that the twin brothers, who were born in five minutes in succession, would win glory for the country in the future and would become an unforgettable existence in the history of gymnastics.
The two were born into a family that was not wealthy, the father was a porter, the mother worked as a temporary worker in the guest house, in order to earn money to support the family, the couple did not have time to take care of the brothers.
So soon after Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang were born, their mother sent them to their grandfather's house.
Grandpa loves both children very much, and also has high expectations for the two brothers, so Grandpa named Li Dashuang Li Fenghua and Li Xiaoshuang Li Weihua, hoping that they can defend and revitalize China in the future.
Despite living a very simple life in his grandfather's house, the brothers spent the happiest childhood of their lives. In the thatched hut that could only shelter the wind and rain, the brothers also left a lot of good memories.
When Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang were six years old, they ushered in a major turning point in their lives, and they met the noble person in their lives and the guide of the gymnastics career - coach Ding Xiapeng.
The encounter between the brothers and gymnastics coach Ding Xiapeng is also very dramatic, just like the Maxima encounter bole.
At the age of six, they were planned to return to their parents and then go to school like normal children.
On that day, Grandpa took the two brothers back to Xiantao City, and when they grew up in the mountains, they saw the bustling streets and the lively crowds, and the two were so excited that they had to come down to play.
Faced with this strange and interesting everything, the brothers jumped up and down, and even flipped on the steps in front of a movie theater to play, and people passing by looked sideways.
And this scene was also seen by coach Ding Xiapeng. With his poisonous eyes and many years of teaching experience, Ding Xiapeng believes that Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang will have some achievements in gymnastics in the future.
As if worried about missing two gifted Maxima, Ding Xiapeng immediately said to the grandfather of the brothers: "Children have the talent to learn gymnastics, you go home and discuss with their parents, let them come to the gymnastics school to practice gymnastics, eat and live, don't worry about anything." ”
Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang's parents were worried about the two children's schooling, so they agreed to Ding Xiapeng's suggestion without saying a word.
The next day, Grandpa walked into the door of the sports school with the two brothers on his shoulders, and since then he has embarked on the path of their gymnast career.
Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang, who are new to gymnastics, do not have any gymnastics foundation.
Every day can only start from the simplest leg press, for the six or seven-year-olds, this is undoubtedly painful, the training ground is also filled with the sound of brothers crying wolf howl every day.
Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang's parents and grandfather have also come to the sports school many times to visit the brothers, and the family is distressed to see the child's training so hard.
The mother even blamed herself for sending the two to the sports school in the first place, and the idea of taking the child back was also dissuaded by Ding Xiapeng in time.
Ding Xiapeng treated the two brothers like his own children.
The two who had just arrived at the sports school had not faded the wild nature of the children in the mountains, and Coach Ding Xiapeng divided the twin brothers into different classes in order to better discipline the brothers.
In order to make up for the lack of family companionship between the two, Ding Xiapeng even moved to the school to accompany them in order to better take care of the brothers.
Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang, who were in sports school, experienced hellish training for four or five consecutive years, and began training before dawn, and returned to the dormitory after dark.
Fortunately, the Emperor's heavens paid off. When Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang were ten years old, the two had already improved in gymnastics, and then they were faced with another big choice in life.
If they choose to go to the sports institute, then their future work will have a landing, then the future is destined to be an ordinary life; if they choose to go to the professional team, only by continuing boring training can they get ahead and become national professional athletes.
Coach Ding Xiapeng's expectation for them is that they can represent the national team to win glory for the country, and after consulting with them, they finally made up their minds to send the brothers to the provincial professional team.
After entering the provincial team, Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang stayed up for another six years, and it was only after day and year after year of training that they first showed their sharp edge.
In 1998, the provincial team recommended the brothers to the national team, but they were rejected twice, and they always wanted to prove themselves.
In 1989, the big double and the small double shined at the second National Youth Games, and also successfully entered the national team because of their outstanding performances.
Unexpectedly, excellent gymnasts abound, and they are still not taken seriously when they enter the national team.
Not to be left behind, the two brothers, although faced with the sense of humiliation that was ignored, never gave up, and could only constantly motivate themselves in their hearts.
In 1990, the brothers participated in the 11th Asian Games in Beijing and won two gold medals in team competition and free gymnastics.
Since then, the reputation of the two has become famous, and it is no longer the obscure big double and small double that no one pays attention to.
In 1991, the brothers wanted to raise their eyebrows again, but Xiaoshuang accidentally fell while training, causing a slight concussion and thus missing the world championship.
The glory of the past seems to have disappeared, all kinds of doubts and insults followed, and the brothers who lost the championship had nothing to say, and could only train harder, waiting for the next opportunity to prove themselves.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the gymnasts of the Chinese team lost one after another, facing such a grim situation.
Li Xiaoshuang bravely used the "backflip three laps" under great pressure, and also won the only Olympic gold medal in gymnastics for the Chinese team at that time.
At the same time, the two brothers Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang went hand in hand and successfully won the runner-up in the men's team competition. Throughout the late 1990s, the brothers stood out in Chinese gymnastics and left a wonderful moment and deep impression on the audience.
In 1997, Li Xiaoshuang injured his ankle while participating in the competition, regretted leaving the stadium under the circumstances of last resort, and it was difficult to become a professional athlete, and finally announced his retirement.
Older brother Li Dashuang also followed in the footsteps of his younger brother and announced his retirement.
Although they have left the gymnastics arena for which they have worked for half a lifetime, they have also left an indelible footprint in the history of gymnastics, and their former style will not be forgotten by everyone.
After retiring, the two brothers also mean that they have to seek other ways to make money in order to make a living.
Before them, many retired athletes chose to enter the entertainment industry, becoming stars and singers abound, and athletes themselves bring a certain audience, which is undoubtedly a "shortcut" for them.
Li Dashuang and Li Xiaoshuang are no exception, the two signed to the Hong Kong "Phantom Full Tone" record company, recorded their first solo album, but unfortunately there was still no color in the next two years.
Perhaps feeling that they did not have the conditions to be stars, the brothers quit the entertainment circle and prepared to return to their old business - to open a gymnastics school, but the result was also a failure.
The successful start of the brothers' career is inseparable from Li Dashuang's first wife, Shi Xuan.
In 1995, in the face of Li Dashuang, who was not rich at that time, Shi Xuan made up his mind to get married, and the two were also very sweet after marriage.
Around 2000, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang wanted to follow Li Ning's steps, so they partnered to open a sporting goods company.
The two brothers, who had never been exposed to business methods, were initially clueless.
Fortunately, Li Dashuang's first wife, Shi Xuan, was a businessman at home and had some experience in this area.
After the company was on the right track, Shi Xuan has been the deputy general manager of the company, helping to manage the company's big and small affairs, and becoming a strong right and left hand for the brothers.
Unfortunately, the company of big double and small double is not as prominent as Li Ning's company.
Missed the best period of entrepreneurship, there is no professional team behind the assistance, the two brothers have been bumping and bumping on the road to business, but neither has given up, the company is gradually getting better and better, and the annual performance has reached tens of millions.
In 2009, Li Dashuang was exposed by netizens to be in a relationship with the well-known actress Li Lin.
The two were also photographed playing in a lavender manor on the outskirts of Beijing, with ten fingers interlocked throughout the whole process, like a little couple in love.
Since then, Li Lin's brokerage company Huayi Brothers has confirmed that Li Lin and Li Dashuang are indeed in a state of communication.
In everyone's memory, Li Dashuang's wife is named Shi Xuan, a Beijing girl who can do business.
In fact, as early as a few years ago, after the company opened by the brothers began to gradually get on the right track, some contradictions slowly appeared between the husband and wife.
In the case of difficulty maintaining a relationship, Li Dashuang and Shi Xuan decided to divorce peacefully.
As a well-known actress in China, Li Lin also had a short marriage before interacting with Li Dashuang.
In 1998, during Li Lin's filming, he met the director Wang Xiaolie, and in 2003, the two also announced their marriage, which was also an envied couple in the circle at that time.
Love is vigorous, and marriage is a long stream, for various reasons, after marriage, the two people also gradually have a rift in their feelings,
The divorce was announced in 2007. After the divorce, Li Lin remained alone until she met Li Dashuang.
The two attracted each other, and Li Lin once said: "In countless cold and lonely days, your appearance made me feel warm, so I would like to be with you for life." ”
Finally in July 2012 into the palace of marriage, many world champions have come to participate in the witness of this wedding, the scene is also very lively, the wedding has also been blessed by the majority of netizens.
The younger brother Li Xiaoshuang also met the female singer Zhang Bening at a friend's party.
Li Xiaoshuang fell in love with her at first sight, so he began his pursuit of his wife.
In 2002, the two decided to be together, and in 2003, they announced their marriage, and after marriage, they were even more affectionate, and Zhang Bening announced his withdrawal from the music scene in order to take care of the family.
Li Xiaoshuang, who is busy with work, often flies around the country, and in order to get along with Her husband Zhang Beining, she occasionally runs around with Li Xiaoshuang.
In order to give her husband a better sense of happiness in life, Zhang Bening learned tea ceremony and cooking, and the life of the two was also very comfortable.
So far, the brothers still run their own sporting goods, although they do not make a lot of money, but it is also a kind of perfection to have a long-term stable career.
Sadly, the brothers are now 48 years old, but they have never had children of their own.
Many netizens believe that the two have put their main energy into their careers and have no time to think about their children.
But we have to sigh that after retiring, the big double and the small double still live a wonderful life, with a loving family and a stable career.
Everyone has a different understanding of their way of life, and no matter how they want to live their lives, we have no right to interfere, because that is their own freedom, so the only thing we can do is bless them.
