"There are still about 20 meters, and now Wang Junxia is already sprinting!" At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, a scene that made the blood boil of the Chinese people was presented in front of them, and Wang Junxia crossed the finish line amid the shouts of the audience.
The coaching staff did not expect Wang Junxia to win the 5,000-meter long-distance running championship, so they did not even prepare the national flag, and after the race, when Wang Junxia was jogging along the circular track, an international student in the audience threw the five-star red flag to her.
Wang Junxia, who was sweating profusely, steadily caught the five-star red flag, unfolded the bright red flag and draped it on her body, and waved to the audience with a smile while running, which was a glorious moment in Wang Junxia's career.
Wang Junxia is invincible in the track and field competition, and her three marriages are as bumpy and complicated as suspense dramas, now, how is she doing?
The "Oriental Divine Deer" was born
In 1973, Wang Junxia was born in a poor family in Jiaohe, Jilin, and when she was a child, Wang Junxia's health was particularly poor, and she often fell ill, according to her, "I couldn't even lift my head, and I pulled my head every day." ”
When she had a fever when she was a child, Wang Junxia never took medicine, and sometimes she "smoked" with a fever, but fortunately there were no sequelae.
Because her health was not very good, Wang Junxia did not go to preschool or kindergarten when she was a child, and she couldn't even count 10 when she first went to school.
After a school year, the exam was confused, so I had to fill in the multiple-choice question "ABCD" indiscriminately, and I couldn't do anything else, and I left one level.
After Wang Junxia stayed in school for another year, her head suddenly opened, her grades magically improved, and she was always in the top three.
The remote mountain village is a playground for children to play crazy, parents can not go home until dark, Wang Junxia, the "crazy girl" often runs around the mountains with her friends, but no one can run away from her.
In 1988, Wang Junxia participated in the Dalian Primary and Middle School Sports Meeting, was favored by coach Wang Shizhong, laid a solid foundation in athletics, and when she participated in the National Games in 1991, she was favored by Ma Junren of the Liaoning Athletics Team.
After entering the "Ma Family Army", the implementation of "devil-style" training, Wang Junxia's achievements have improved by leaps and bounds, and she has achieved proud results in major competitions.
Wang Junxia and the players were very monotonous during training, every day at three o'clock, and rarely communicated and communicated with outsiders.
The female team members are all cut short hair, the coach will cut the hair himself, and does not care about what beauty and ugliness, Wang Junxia cut short hair, like a tomboy, looks like a boy.
Winter training is the hardest, and you need to run about 50 kilometers a day.
During physical training in Qinghai, more than 2,000 meters above sea level, the sun on the plateau was very strong, and after running, there were many small shiny blisters on the arms of the team members, and a "click" sound.
However, Ma Jiajun's training was too large, Wang Junxia's body was exhausted and often sick, during this time, Wang Junxia and Ma Junren had some differences, and left Ma Jiajun at the end of 1994.
Without Ma Junren's systematic training, Wang Junxia's condition fell all the way to a trough, at which time, coach Mao Dezhen found her and expressed his willingness to help her train.
Mao Dezhen used several methods to train, and also tied 12 balloons to Wang Junxia to increase resistance, and each lap would crush one, and when he ran to the eighth lap, Wang Junxia cried tiredly.
Before participating in the Atlanta Olympics, Wang Junxia had diarrhea and fever due to water and soil dissatisfaction, but she did not dare to say to the outside world, because there was an "aura" during the competition, and once the opponent knew that her physical condition was not good, there was no deterrent.
Wang Junxia reported the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters at the Olympics, when her strength was 10,000 meters, and Wu Shaozu, director of the sports committee, and Mao Dezhen, coach, and others held a special meeting to let her give up 5,000 meters and directly sprint to save 10,000 meters.
However, Wang Junxia felt that she should not give up so much, and she still had to fight when she had the opportunity, her physical condition was not very good at that time, and she was afraid that she would survive to the last day, and she would not even have the strength to play the last day.
Wu Shaozu said to her: "Junxia, you can rest assured to go to the field to compete, you always remember that we can all accept the competition, and don't have any burden." ”
Wu Shaozu's words made Wang Junxia unload a psychological baggage, sleep beautifully, and replenish her physical strength again.
On July 28, 1996, during the 5,000-meter race, Wang Junxia did not show her dew in the first few minutes.
About 8 minutes after the match, the players all opened a certain distance, Wang Junxia kept biting the top two positions, and the match became a duel between her and the first player.
In the last few hundred meters, Wang Junxia launched a sprint and controlled her breathing so that her opponent could not hear herself.
On the surface, Wang Junxia is not tired at all, the purpose of this is to make her opponent hairy, and gradually, she leaves her Kenyan opponent who runs first far behind.
In the eyes of the audience, Wang Junxia won this race relatively easily, but in fact, the coaching staff did not prepare, because her strength was in the 10,000 meters, but I did not expect that the 5,000 meters became an accident.
When Wang Junxia was jogging along the runway, the audience threw the red flag to her, and all the pressure was swept away, and the picture of her running with the red flag became a classic scene in the history of Chinese sports.
Wang Junxia won the championship in 14:59.88, the first long-distance gold medal won by the Chinese team at the Olympics.
Later, Wang Junxia won the silver medal in the 10,000 meters, and these two medals also won her the reputation of "Oriental Divine Deer".
After the Atlanta Olympics, Wang Junxia chose to retire at the golden age of 23, looking forward to a beautiful and sweet married life.
Two marriages, one chicken feather
In 1997, Wang Junxia's friend introduced her to the football player Zhan Yu, when she did not agree with the lifestyle of football players, Wang Junxia heard that he played football, and said: "Impossible, I don't see anything!" ”
At the same time, Zhan Yu did not want to see Wang Junxia, he thought that the shelf of the Olympic champion must be big and could not afford to serve.
The two were hard to blind date, and later made dumplings together and had a meal, and the friend asked Wang Junxia: "How do you look like, do you think you look handsome?" ”
Wang Junxia said that he had no impression, and did not dare to look at Zhan Yu squarely, only knowing that he was wearing a plaid shirt.
Later, this friend often brought the two together to hang out, and the two got married after understanding each other for a while.
After getting married, the two had a son, named Zhan Yibo, Wang Junxia cherished this marriage, but Zhan Yu was very cold to her.
In the 9 years together, Zhan Yu slept alone in another room for the next 3 years, and Wang Junxia chose to endure for the sake of her son.
One day she finally couldn't help it: "The two of us must make it clear, everyone has an explanation, I am responsible for myself, and you are also responsible for you." ”
"I don't feel for you anymore," Zhan Yu said to her himself.
Listening to this sentence, Wang Junxia felt that it was no longer interesting for the two to be together, and she also tried hard, but blindly forbearance did not bring each other's understanding, and the next day, the two calmly went through the divorce procedures.
After separating from her first husband, Wang Junxia still felt that Zhan Yu was a good person, so she gave all the property such as the villa to her ex-husband and drove away a car by herself.
Wang Junxia believes that the reason for the failure of this marriage is because the husband is too young and not mature enough, and the second marriage hopes to find a mature person.
The second husband, Huang Tianwen, is more than ten years older than Wang Junxia and has four children, and the two were also very affectionate when they first fell in love, calling almost every day.
Huang Tianwen is very talkative, after graduating from Shanghai Normal University, he was admitted to the University of Denver in the United States to obtain a master's degree in music, and has been single for 10 years before meeting Wang Junxia.
At a banquet in 1999, many people took photos around Wang Junxia, and left after taking photos, only Huang Tianwen surrounded her to ask this and that, which made Wang Junxia very impressed with him.
After meeting several times, the two went to many places such as Yinchuan's garbage mountain, the Alashan desert and the Dujiangyan earthquake zone.
In October 2008, Wang Junxia and Huang Tianwen held a Mongolian-style wedding, but after the two went to live in the United States together, they encountered problems, Huang Tianwen did not let his wife contact friends, and Wang Junxia was very strict.
Wang Junxia and ex-husband Huang Tianwen
Wang Junxia usually has to take care of Huang Tianwen's four children, and Huang Tianwen gives her $1,200 a month, but her living expenses are often insufficient, and she is often checked.
Huang Tianwen often tells Wang Junxia that he has bought too much of something, and the food that Wang Junxia usually buys back, Huang Tianwen thinks he can't eat it and throws it away.
What made Wang Junxia even more unbearable was that Huang Tianwen brought back several cameras to install at home, his every move was within his line of sight, and even took a picture on his mobile phone, Wang Junxia felt that he was bound and wanted to escape the marriage.
Huang Tianwen treats Wang Junxia as a "canary", but after all, she is also an "oriental divine deer", and she is also a person who has won the world championship.
This marriage can be said to be a one-sided "entanglement against death", Huang Tianwen has always felt that he is very good to Wang Junxia, has been "low to the dust", he does not understand why Wang Junxia wants to leave him.
Wang Junxia also raised these questions with Huang Tianwen, who vowed that he would change, but while changing it, he complained to his friends, and Wang Junxia finally understood that some habits are difficult to change.
In 2013, Wang Junxia unilaterally broke up on social platforms, and also told the media: "I would rather eat bran vegetables than divorce Huang Tianwen." ”
And Huang Tianwen has always wanted to save the relationship and did not agree to divorce, saying that he was like a panicked child: "willing to bow down for her, willing to admit mistakes for her, even if I am not wrong." ”
Huang Tianwen has very strong language expression skills, and when talking about his marriage to Wang Junxia, he often exaggerates seven points and secretly devalues three points, describing himself as a sad person and an infatuated man trapped by love.
In some articles and books published by him, it seems that he is saving his wife's feelings, but in fact, a lot of Wang Junxia's material has been exposed.
Wang Junxia often said in public that she and Ma Junren had let go of their previous suspicions.
But Huang Tianwen believes that Wang Junxia did not understand Ma Junren in his heart, because when the two quarreled, Wang Junxia would say: "How are you the same as Ma Junren?" ”
Once when the two were halfway through a quarrel, Huang Tianwen said in the car: "You say I hit you again." ”
"Let's get out of the car and fight," Wang Junxia said.
After the two stopped parking, they fought and fell on the grass, and Wang Junxia jumped while fighting and said: "Ma Junren can't fall me, what ability do you have to drop me..."
Huang Tianwen wrote a book about Wang Junxia, saying that the book he wrote "strives to be warm, objective, and not harm others", but he "demolished" Wang Junxia in every detail, which dealt Wang Junxia a great blow.
Three besieged cities, finally won true love
Normal divorce procedures take three months, and it took Wang Junxia more than two years to end the marriage.
Friends ridiculed her, divorced twice, mother with two children, can not find a man in China, who would be willing to be a takeover man, some blind dates are not even willing to meet.
A friend said: "Find a boyfriend in the United States, find a foreigner, maybe they can accept it." ”
When Wang Junxia talked about the blind date process in the variety show, she put her posture very low, as if she was a "drag oil bottle" that no one wanted.
The third husband, Li Huiyang, was next to her, constantly holding her hand tightly to comfort her.
Wang Junxia and her third husband Li Huiyang were introduced to each other by friends, when Wang Junxia used the pseudonym "Wang Xi", and Li Huiyang did not know that his girlfriend was the world champion.
The two have been typing when they started dating and chatting, never using voice or video chat, and after two marriages, Wang Junxia thinks that her aura may also bring pressure to the other party.
Wang Junxia said to her friends: "I don't want to appear next to any man in the name of Wang Junxia anymore. ”
In this relationship, she was very honest, explaining to the other party that she was divorced and had two children, no job and no income.
Wang Junxia sent a life photo to the other party, no makeup, no beauty, Li Huiyang did not pay much attention to athletics, and did not recognize it.
After the two chatted on the chat software for more than three months, Li Huiyang said to Wang Junxia's friend: "Wang Xi, this girl is good, I talked to her very well, I like her very much." ”
A friend conveyed this "confession" to Wang Junxia, who was very happy and felt that Li Huiyang just liked her personally, not the aura of a world champion.
In 2013, Wang Junxia had already divorced her ex-husband in a showdown, but after all, the divorce procedures had not yet been completed, and Wang Junxia was tossed at this time.
Li Huiyang ran from Xiamen to Denver alone, helped Wang Junxia buy a house and a car, and settled everything, even the pots and pans at home.
He said to Wang Junxia: "I want to give you a guarantee, although you are not divorced yet, but we will face it together, don't worry and don't be afraid." ”
Wang Junxia felt that Li Huiyang was very responsible, and very atmospheric, if a man really cared about himself, he would rush over with all his might.
Wang Junxia felt that knowing Li Huiyang for more than three years was her happiest time, and she felt particularly secure and would be afraid again.
In June 2015, the two held weddings in Denver and Xiamen, and Wang Junxia felt that she was already married for the third time, so she kept a low profile, but Li Huiyang believed that there must be a sense of ceremony.
During one of the wedding sessions, Wang Junxia and the groom Li Huiyang both held a copper deer with red silk tied on their heads, and they were very happy.
Wang Junxia and Li Huiyang had a son after they got married, and both of them especially liked children, and once Li Huiyang said to Wang Junxia: "Three more." ”
"No, we already have so many children, don't regenerate." Wang Junxia said.
However, Wang Junxia saw that Li Huiyang liked children very much and wanted children from the bottom of his heart, so he relented and changed his words: "At most one more." ”
However, they did not continue to have children later, and everything went with the flow.
Oriental Divine Deer King Junxia's recent situation
After so many years, what has not changed is Wang Junxia's love for running.
By 2022, Wang Junxia is 49 years old, and on one of her social platforms, the avatar used is the picture of running in a red flag at the Atlanta Olympics.
Wang Junxia often posts videos of running with a hat, and she has integrated running into her life.
She runs every day, rain or shine in the cold and heat, and even runs 12 kilometers in the snow on Chinese New Year's Eve mornings.
Wang Junxia also likes to "run in the mountains", sometimes wearing masks and hats to shuttle through the mountains and forests, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the roadside while exercising and breathing fresh air.
Some netizens asked: "Mask running is equivalent to mandatory anaerobic exercise, right?" I would suffocate and faint. ”
"I'm used to it, ordinary runners, if it's not a special requirement, there's no need to wear it." Wang Junxia left a message seriously.
Wang Junxia has undergone a long period of physical training on the plateau, this kind of mountain running is equivalent to trail running, compared with marathon training, the core strength and cardiopulmonary function of the human body are more demanding.
In addition to sharing some running videos, Wang Junxia will also share some tips about running and fitness.
You need to warm up before running, you need to stretch after running, in a video shared by Wang Junxia, several pounds of warm-up actions before running are shown, such as small steps on the ground, small broken steps in jumps, leg lifts between marches, abduction legs and abduction legs between marches, bouncing cross jumps and so on.
Now Wang Junxia has long hair and is much fatter than before, and some netizens commented: "Now the Oriental Shenlu is also going to run with a swimming circle."
At present, Wang Junxia lives in the United States most of the time, and occasionally goes to China to participate in some theme running activities.
Her current husband, Li Huiyang, spends a lot of time doing business in Xiamen, and the two often fly between China and the United States.
After three marriages, she and her three husbands have three children, and now they all settle in the United States with her, and the family of five is living happily.
Driven by Wang Junxia, the family will run persistently, and also drive some surrounding neighbors, in the United States, where there are more and more fat people, the picture of a group of people running has become a beautiful landscape.
Wang Junxia's children have inherited her athletic talent, she and her first husband's son Zhan Yibo, since childhood, she likes sports very much, often participates in school running competitions, and often gets very good rankings.
The daughter born to Wang Junxia and her second husband is called Wang Danting, her skin color is also relatively dark, and she followed her mother on variety shows when she was a child.
The little girl inherited Wang Junxia's motor cells, and when her parents held her hand, she often liked to flip heels.
The little girl would take her parents' hand and take a few steps back, then jump forward and do a backflip, stunning everyone.
Every time her parents took her for a walk, she would turn over and down, she couldn't stop at all, and asked her parents to pick her up and jump, similar to a little monkey.
Usually, Wang Junxia will not deliberately train her children's sports talents, will let them develop freely, she often takes children to participate in various activities, find their hobbies, and then encourage them to develop.
Wang Junxia has a set of education, she often tells her children that her current husband is very hard outside, and he usually eats what he earns hard, so she let her ex-husband's children call him "dad".
And Wang Junxia brings several children alone, and it is also very hard to take care of the family at home, so the children in the family have to call her "mother".
There is no road taken in vain, every step is counted, Wang Junxia's experience is bumpy and wonderful, she said that she will not escape, just to precipitate, in order to better interpret the past, face the future.
Wang Junxia wrote on social platforms: People who run fast may not be able to win, and those who jog may not necessarily lose, which is also a kind of confidence and determination, after fading the aura of champions, she is still a winner in life.
