Xue Ming, known as the "most beautiful female volleyball national player", not only has a beautiful appearance and a proud figure of one meter nine, but her ball skills are also first-class in the national team. However, the career and love road of such a goddess are full of ups and downs.
Due to injury, she had to retire early in her prime. A marriage with the CCTV choreographer also ended sadly when she unilaterally announced her divorce.
Fortunately, after the divorce, Xue Ming did not lose the direction of his life. Single so far, she has lived a new wonderful life with an optimistic and positive attitude.
1. The goddess of volleyball, broken wings due to injury
On February 23, 1987, Xue Ming was born in Daxing, Beijing. When he was a child, Xue Ming was thin and short, and he was an "ugly duckling".
In order to improve her physical fitness, Xue Ming's parents sent her to a sports school to play basketball. However, in the crowd of tall players, she couldn't catch the ball at all, let alone physically fight against others.
Just when Xue Ming was worried about basketball, a basketball coach keenly discovered her talent and suggested that she switch to volleyball. Coincidentally, the volleyball coach of Shichahai Sports School came to select Miaozi at that time, and he fell in love with her at a glance. Since then, Xue Ming has embarked on the legendary road of volleyball.
Recalling the scene when he first learned volleyball, Xue Ming confessed: "I was very unconfident when I first joined the team, but the coach found that I had good coordination and learned movements quickly, so he let me play secondary attack. ”
Not long after training in the sports school, Xue Ming's talent was fully displayed. Her height also skyrocketed and she soon became the tallest on the team.
In 2003, 16-year-old Xue Ming was selected for the national youth team and studied under "Little Zhuge " Cai Bin.
Under the guidance of Cai Bin, her competitive level and psychological quality have been rapidly improved, and she has cooperated with her teammates to win important awards such as the Asian Youth Championship championship and the runner-up of the World Youth Championship.
In 2005, Xue Ming was selected for the national team and his career reached a new level. During the Beijing Olympics, Xue Ming won the bronze medal with the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Since then, she has gradually become the absolute workhorse of the national team and also served as the vice-captain. In the 2009 Women's World Volleyball Grand Prix, Xue Ming created a miracle in which one person won the three awards of Best Scorer, Best Smash and Most Popular Player.
At this time, Xue Ming was only in his early twenties. Beautiful and proficient, she quickly became famous among fans and earned the reputation of "the most American player".
No matter where she plays, the stands are always crowded with fans cheering her on. Because Xue Ming has fair skin and is always bouncing on the court, fans have also given her the cute nickname "Rabbit".
With the support of fans, Xue Ming became more and more courageous and won various awards one after another. However, just as her career was on the rise, something unexpected happened - during a training session in 2009, Xue Ming's left calf ligament was torn.
In addition, she suffered severe strain and water accumulation in her knees, and she was able to pump a full 150 milliliters of water every time she went to the hospital.
Although the leg injury was serious, Xue Ming, who was strong, never stopped training. She couldn't practice on her legs, so she seized the time to train her upper limb strength, and insisted on playing closed appearances during the game.
Over time, her body gradually became overwhelmed, and her spirit fell into extreme anxiety, often crying uncontrollably in her sleep.
Due to excessive psychological pressure, in mid-2011, Xue Ming, who was only 24 years old, experienced severe premature heart beats, which could occur up to 20,000 times in a day.
In this case, any intense exercise may cause her heart to stop. In the end, Xue Ming had to leave the national team sadly and officially announced his retirement after the 2013 National Games.
Second, harvest love and usher in a new life
After retiring, Xue Ming fell into confusion for a while. From the age of ten, volleyball became her whole life. She just needs to play well, and other food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged for her.
And now everything has to rely on herself, and life has suddenly become leisurely, and this huge change makes it difficult for her to accept for a while.
At that time, Muxiyuan Sports School had given Xue Ming the opportunity to stay in the school to teach.
However, after some deliberation, Xue Ming decided to leave the familiar sports circle: "I want to try a different life, people can't spend all their lives on the same thing." ”
In fact, Xue Ming has had a dream since he was a child, that is, to open a flower shop of his own design.
She once said: "Every time I see flowers, I feel alive, and it is beautiful and happy. ”
However, liking and running are two different things, and she has to learn it from scratch. For this reason, Xue Ming fell into a long entanglement and hesitation. At this time, a man named Zongdian gave her the courage to challenge the unknown.
Zong Dian is a CCTV choreographer and has known Xue Ming for 7 years. In a chat, Xue Ming talked about his plans to open a flower shop, and Zong Dian immediately expressed his support: "Then you will open it!" ”
In the following two months, the two went online to collect information, practiced flower arrangement techniques, and learned Japanese, European, and Chinese flower arrangement. With the encouragement of Zong Dian, Xue Ming also enrolled in a floral art school and systematically learned various techniques.
When he was on the volleyball team, Xue Ming was famous for his love of beauty, and a pair of slender jade hands were delicate and smooth. After choosing the floral art path, her hands are always covered with scars.
In this regard, Xue Ming once introduced: "Flower arrangement and bouquet need to feel, you can't wear gloves, and if you are not careful, your hand will be pierced by flower thorns." ”
Although he was often injured, Xue Ming did not care at all. When arranging flowers, she always has a happy smile on her face.
During the period of learning floral arrangement, Xue Ming encountered many difficulties, and Zong Dian has always been silently by her side. His gentleness and thoughtfulness made Xue Ming, who had just opened his emotions, experience the feeling of heartbeat for the first time.
When she was on the volleyball team before, she was always busy with training and competitions, and she had no time to fall in love. This time, she decided to bravely pursue love. Two young people who were in love soon came together.
On November 17, 2015, after two years of preparation, Xue Ming's flower shop B&B was officially opened.
From applying for a business license to decorating the store and finding the source of goods, Xue Ming participated in almost the whole process. She also gave the flower shop a meaningful name - "tomorrow's tomorrow", which means that tomorrow will be better.
On the day of its opening, the canon also appeared in front of the public for the first time. The two revealed to the media that they had registered their marriage in June of the same year. At this time, it has been less than half a year since they fell in love, which can be regarded as a "flash marriage".
In an interview in his early years, Xue Ming once said that his ideal type was a tall and mature tough guy, such as Jiang Wen and Sun Honglei.
In addition, she who is 192 tall also wants the other party's height to be above 185. Compared to these standards, the 180-year-old sect who was younger than Xue Ming seemed to be far from it.
In this regard, Xue Ming responded with a smile: "He doesn't care about height, I don't care even more, there is such a tall wife as me!" In fact, when you meet the right person, these rules and regulations do not exist. ”
On the same day, Xue Ming also said that he and her husband would go on a honeymoon trip at the end of the year. Xue Ming liked the sea, and Zongdian thoughtfully arranged an itinerary for her to the United States and Tahiti.
Considering that the women's volleyball players were playing in the league at that time, the couple also specially set the wedding banquet for March 2016, and Xue Ming's good friend Wang Yimei will serve as a bridesmaid to witness her happiness.
Third, return to singleness and live a wonderful life
After getting married, Xue Ming ran a flower shop diligently. Every morning before dawn, she would rush to the flower market to pick the freshest flowers, pack them and deliver them to customers. Under her hard work, the flower shop gradually became famous in Beijing, and the business became better and better.
In his spare time, Xue Ming also began to accept invitations from major media to serve as the guest commentator of volleyball matches. Making this decision was not easy for Xue Ming. After leaving the national team, volleyball became a pain in her heart: "At that time, I often wondered, if I persisted a little longer, would I also stand on the top podium? ”
However, with the precipitation of time, Xue Minglong has already been relieved of the past: "Everyone's era is different, and for me, I have done my best to reach the peak that belongs to me. ”
After changing her identity, she gradually found her life value and lived a completely different and happy life.
In May 2017, Xue Ming, who had been out of sight for a long time, suddenly announced a shocking news on social platforms: "My sister is single. At this time, it had only been two years since she and Zongdian got married.
According to media reports, Zongdian often had to travel for work reasons, and the couple got together less and separated more, and conflicts were frequent, and finally chose to part ways.
Fortunately, the breakdown of the marriage did not make Xue Ming lose confidence in life. After becoming single again, she closed her flower shop in Beijing and began to challenge herself to a more exciting life.
From working as a financial company planner to obtaining a diving license, playing racing cars, and working as a cargo anchor, she has been mingling with young people and making many friends in all walks of life.
In July 2019, Xue Ming successfully obtained a racing license and was invited to participate in the Qinghai Lake Challenge. During the race, Xue Ming wore a heroic racing suit, racing along a straight line for a while, and showing off his "drifting" technique at a while, which won the applause of the audience.
Since 2021, Xue Ming has a new identity - coach of the women's esports team.
Faced with the current situation that female e-sports groups are not mainstream, Xue Ming pointed out sharply: "If you want to open up the market, you must speak with results like the women's volleyball team and show the charm of women in e-sports." ”
At the same time, she also said that she is willing to be a bridge between the two and pass on the spiritual wealth of women's volleyball to the e-sports industry.
On June 1, 2023, Xue Ming, a former national player of the women's volleyball team, posted a set of recent photos on social platforms. In the photo, the 36-year-old is wearing shorts and showing off her long legs, with a quiet smile on her face, and there is no trace of time.
Today, Xue Ming is 36 years old, but she is still trying new things and trying to broaden the boundaries of life.
It can be seen that a positive and optimistic attitude and the spirit of challenge are the secrets of her youthful appearance. I wish Xue Ming to find his true destiny as soon as possible and start a brand new journey!
