preface
China's status as the "first table tennis country" in the world is unshakable, the mainland in the table tennis competition won countless medals, then of course these achievements rely on the mainland of those excellent athletes daily hard training, sweat to get, in these table tennis players for the glory of the country many female athletes are impressed us, such as Ding Ning, Zhang Yining, Wang Nan, Deng Yaping and so on.
If in the 90s Deng Yaping was the overlord of women's table tennis, then before her, that is, in the 80s, there was a very personal "table tennis sister" in the mainland, she smoked, drank and burned her head, especially had her own personality, and always had a strength to not admit defeat, she had won the world championship three times, won the women's singles championship twice, and was the first person to win the Grand Slam of four events of the World Table Tennis Championships, the "big devil" of the 80s was Cao Yanhua.
Maybe many young people are not familiar with Cao Yanhua now, but everyone must be no stranger to Xu Xin, and Cao Yanhua is Xu Xin's teacher, and she fancy and cultivate at a glance, it can be seen that Cao Yanhua not only has outstanding personal ability, but also sees people very accurately, and is a very powerful athlete.
Cao Yanhua is associated with table tennis
In 1962, Cao Yanhua was born in Shanghai, when she was born, table tennis was in the fever period sought after by the whole people, at that time, men and women of all ages liked to play table tennis, of course, Cao Yanhua's family is no exception, the family is very keen on table tennis, Cao Yanhua is also in this environment and table tennis forged an indissoluble bond.
When Cao Yanhua just learned to walk, she chased behind her father and brothers and sisters all day to pick up balls, becoming a qualified little caddy, watching her family play ball every day, of course, she also wanted to have a good time, and soon began to pick up rackets to learn to play when Cao Yanhua was five years old, especially her father fully supported her.
It seems that if you are interested in something, it is indeed easier to succeed, because of her love and the support of her family, Cao Yanhua trains hard every day, and received professional guidance after entering primary school, so she grew up particularly fast and was recommended to enter the national team at the age of 15.
Because Cao Yanhua is very smart, and has always had her own unique playing style - straight board arc fast attack play, in the third board can defeat the opponent, her outstanding performance soon attracted Xu Yinsheng's attention, at that time just ushered in the national competition, the team was invited to Europe to compete, Cao Yanhua was selected by the coach to go together, but at that time just said that he wanted her to go out to see the world, no one expected that Cao Yanhua actually won her first gold medal in this competition.
Since then, Cao Yanhua has been on the way, winning seven open championships in 80 years, and winning the singles championship in the 37th and 38th World Table Tennis Championships, in addition to her cooperation with her teammates is also very tacit, in the three World Table Tennis Championships have won doubles championships, in her short years of competition career has won a total of 59 championships, firmly sitting in the position of "a sister in the table tennis world".
Cao Yanhua is naturally a good student in the class with such achievements, but there are many shadows of "bad students" in this good student.
At that time, the training bureau had clear rules: athletes were not allowed to smoke, perm, or fall in love, but Cao Yanhua had every one of them, not only would she be fashionable to perm her hair, but she also had a group of good buddies who smoked together, at that time, their small group hid in the room all day to swallow clouds, and even once they didn't deal with the cigarette butts they threw away and lit the house.
In addition, Cao Yanhua fell in love with Shi Zhihao after winning the gold medal for the first time, the two of them formed a fate because they trained together in Europe at that time, the two trained together for more than a month, and they fell in love for a long time, and developed a good feeling, after returning to China, they often took advantage of the weekend when others worked overtime to train when they went out to be sweet, and after a long time, they were discovered by the coach, I thought that I would be severely remembered for violating the rules like this, but I didn't expect that the coach turned a blind eye to her, Just tell her not to delay training and affect her performance.
Of course, Cao Yanhua is still a clear person, no matter what she does, it has not affected her results, she has always been the best in the team.
Cao Yanhua loves going abroad
But the sky did not come true, it was such an excellent athlete who chose to retire at the age of 22 due to physical reasons, and then married Shi Zhihao and lived a happy and stable life.
A year after marriage, because Shi Zhihao was signed by the German club, so Cao Yanhua also went to Germany with her, living the life of a housewife, don't see Cao Yanhua on the table, but she is busy in the kitchen, the rice is half-cooked, the dishes are also fried and mushy, and she is often amused by herself.
Since then, she has been immersed in the kitchen all day to study the know-how of cooking, little by little, learning, practicing, slowly she not only learned to cook basic meals, but even mastered the method of steaming meat buns, her cooking skills are constantly improving, and gradually recognized by everyone, becoming a chef in everyone's mouth.
After that, they bought a three-story small bungalow in Germany and gave birth to a son, and the family of three lived a stable life here, but will Cao Yanhua really be willing to see the end of the life at a glance?
The answer is naturally unwilling, after all, she is always the maverick, and her love for table tennis will not stop her here.
Return to China to continue chasing your dreams
After living in Germany for nine years, Cao Yanhua resolutely decided to return to China and set up her own table tennis school in Shanghai, the school was very simple at the beginning, the area was not large, only a few offices and eighteen tables, the school's students are even less pitiful, only 8 people, even eighteen tables can not be filled, and the only eight students are still eliminated by the sports school.
But Cao Yanhua did not give up, her love for table tennis has been supporting her, she treats students carefully, seriously, meticulously, soon her school welcomed more than 300 students from all over the country, not only that, Cao Yanhua's school is not only open to those teenagers who like to play table tennis, her school has a class that accepts students from the whole society, in this class up to sixty or seventy years old seniors, down to special children with intellectual disabilities, are recruited by her.
Cao Yanhua, as the king of 59 gold medals, has also taught many excellent students, the most famous is the men's table tennis world champion Xu Xin, he is the first left-handed player to win the men's singles championship in the world's three major competitions, and his straight left-handed play is also very distinctive.
Cao Yanhua, who showed his skills in his career, slowly drifted away from Shi Zhihao, because of work, Cao Yanhua managed a table tennis school in Shanghai, and Shi Zhihao was invited to the national team as a coach and needed to work in Beijing, after which the two were separated.
In fact, in this process, Shi Zhihao invited Cao Yanhua to Beijing to join him many times, but Cao Yanhua is no longer a little girl in her twenties, and she will no longer leave home for love, so she also rejected Shi Zhihao many times and chose to stay in Shanghai to fight for her career.
Since then, both of them have devoted themselves to their work, are fighting for the mainland's table tennis career, cultivating excellent talents, Shi Zhihao is busy in the national team every day, often until midnight to sleep, during this time he and Cao Yanhua contact less and less, naturally the two also slowly created a gap, more and more contradictions, so the two chose to separate.
In order not to let the family and children know that they are worried and uncomfortable, so they have been hiding the news that they have divorced, Cao Yanhua still often sends the child to her grandparents, in order to make the child's happy childhood not affected, even if the two are separated, they still do not treat the child badly, and the love that should be given to the child is not less than at all.
After the divorce, Cao Yanhua put her mind on the school, working all day for the students and the development of the school, but she did not expect that someone anonymously reported Cao Yanhua for embezzling national assets, saying that she founded this school to make money, which simply stung Cao Yanhua's heart.
You know, the school established by Cao Yanhua is a private school, and the government's management of this kind of school is very strict, especially the standard of fees, which is restricted, so Cao Yanhua opened this school really for those who love table tennis as much as himself, for the future of table tennis in the mainland.
After receiving the report letter, the relevant departments quickly intervened in the investigation, and after the investigation, not only returned Cao Yanhua's innocence, but also visited the school with multiple departments, and they were very supportive of Cao Yanhua's approach and helped her solve many practical problems.
Since then, the development of the school has become better and better, sending many excellent players to the national team, and they have also won glory for the country in various competitions and won dozens of world championship medals.
Harvest sweet love
In 2010, Shi Zhihao remarried, married Li Nan, the main member of the national team 23 years younger than him, and had a happy family of three, and at that time, Cao Yanhua was still working alone, whether it was family or friends, and even her ex-husband Shi Zhihao advised her that it was time to find the next one.
Finally ten years later, Cao Yanhua also found her own happiness, she posted a photo of herself and her husband in social software, she snuggled up next to her husband, with a happy smile on her face, her husband is tall and handsome, and he is also a table tennis player, his name is Diao Ming.
In Cao Yanhua's description, Diao Ming is a warm man, gentle and considerate to her, and takes care of Cao Yanhua in life, not only that, the two often compete together, and how happy it is to live with like-minded people, we can see from Cao Yanhua's face.
epilogue
Now Cao Yanhua is over sixty years old, she is still extraordinary, no less than in the past, the figure is also very good, the wrinkles on the face and neck are so few that they cannot be seen, this must be under the nourishment of happy love, after all, a happy marriage is the best skin care product for women.
Although Cao Yanhua also won a lot of gold medals in her short service, it is a pity that she retired before she joined the Olympic family in table tennis, and there was no Olympic medal in her 59 gold medals, perhaps not winning the Olympic gold medal is also a big regret in her heart, but fortunately, her family and career are very happy, and she has a happy life, let's continue to bless her.
