On the basketball court, some people exist not only because of their skills, but also because of the life experience and emotional story behind them, which makes people remember. Moke and Wang Fan are such a couple, the love between them is deep and touching, however, this beautiful relationship did not last long, because Wang Fan died of a severe pulmonary infarction on the eve of a match in 2010.
This sudden parting plunged everyone into great grief, especially Moko and her teammates. Wang Fan's sudden death made people feel extremely regretful, and her departure came too hastily, which made everyone, including Moke, deeply saddened.
The tacit understanding and deep relationship between Moke and Wang Fan on the basketball court have become eternal memories in everyone's hearts. However, a few years later, people saw the news that Moko had married a beautiful new wife. Since Moke loved Wang Fan so much, why did he marry her after she died?
Moke and Wang Fan are known as an enviable loving couple in the basketball industry. Although they have not been married for a long time and have known each other for only two years, they have shown a deep tacit understanding and affection like a husband and wife who have been together for a lifetime.
Moke, born in 1982, from Changchun, Jilin, established a certain reputation in the basketball industry early. His father was a player on the national basketball team and a coach at Jilin Sports College, which allowed him to live in a basketball atmosphere since he was a child.
Moco's basketball talent was nurtured and developed in such an environment. He represented the Chinese team in major events such as the Olympic Games, World Championships, Asian Championships, and Asian Games, and won the Asian Championships and Asian Games championship trophies in the international arena. Moko's performance on the court has won him honorifics such as "Little Wolf King" and "Terrorist".
Wang Fan is the bright star of the Bayi women's basketball team and is loved by fans. Originally from Tangshan, Hebei Province, she was born in 1985 and graduated from Hebei Institute of Physical Education. With a height of 1.8 meters, she mainly attacks the guard position and is a burly girl. In the Bayi team, her popularity is extremely high and she is considered one of the most popular players.
Wang Fan's love of basketball can be traced back to a very early age. As early as 1996, she joined the Hebei Provincial Youth Sports School at the age of 11. As she grew older, she continued to refine her basketball skills and training to lay a solid foundation for her future basketball career.
In 2007, Wang Fan took a new step and chose to join the army. With her solid professionalism and outstanding performance, she entered the Bayi Gong Brigade and became an excellent military player.
She also competed in the WCBA in the 2006-2007 season, demonstrating her prowess in the professional game. She also had the honor to represent the national youth women's basketball team and the national women's basketball team, participate in international competitions, and win honors for the Chinese team.
During her time playing for the Bayi women's basketball team, Wang Fan often heard the name "Moke" from her teammates. This made her take a keen interest in the owner of the name.
When Wang Fan first joined the Bayi team, Moke was already famous in the basketball industry and became a big brother worthy of admiration. Wang Fan was full of admiration for him. One day, she was working the court to practice when she suddenly found Moko on the side.
Her mood became tense and excited, eager to communicate with him. And Moke also noticed Wang Fan, sensed the contradictions and entanglements in her heart, and took the initiative to walk over and start a dialogue with her.
Moke said to Wang Fan in a friendly manner: "Little girl, I think you are new." Seeing how hard you practice, I think you will definitely achieve a lot in the future. Would you like me to give you some advice so that your training may be more effective with less? These words flattered Wang Fan, and at the same time felt Moke's kindness and concern.
Since then, Moke began to guide Wang Fan's training, and the contact between the two gradually deepened. Over time, their interaction in training deepened, not only handing each other towels and watching each other's games, but also sharing basketball tips and training experiences.
These small gestures gradually brought the two young hearts closer. Soon, they decided to officially enter into a relationship. Moke gave Wang Fan a nickname and called him "Xiong". The nickname has a profound meaning, because Moke believes that Wang Fan's image is like a bear, powerful enough to lead the whole team to overcome difficulties, reverse defeat and achieve victory.
At the same time, Wang Fan also has a cute and generous side like a bear, which people can't help but love. Despite their busy schedules, they never held a wedding because the time had not come. Moke has always felt guilty about this, and he made it clear that he owed Wang Fan a wedding, and once he had time, he would definitely make up for it.
On September 9, 2009, the two officially received a marriage certificate and became a legal couple. The choice of this date implies the hope that their marriage will last for a long time.
By the end of December 2009, the CBA league was on schedule and was in a tense phase. In the heat of the game, Moko was injured on the field, resulting in the simultaneous fracture of two ribs.
Doctors recommend that Moko stay on bed rest for at least 4-6 weeks to recover. Despite the severe pain, Moko chose to stay in his hotel in Ningbo to recuperate, but he stared anxiously at the live broadcast of the game.
On January 24, 2010, during a training session, Wang Fan had just finished warming up, but suddenly fell unconscious without warning. In an emergency, Wang Fan was rushed to Beijing 309 Hospital for rescue.
His beloved wife Moke was deeply worried, and after learning the news of her husband's accident, she did not hesitate to rush from Ningbo and travel thousands of miles. The wife is in distress, how can she not go back to visit.
Doctors raced against time to save Wang's life, although he was still in a coma. The doctor announced that Wang Fan was diagnosed with "pulmonary infarction", a common fatal cardiovascular disease and one of the three major fatal cardiovascular diseases, and its fatality rate is quite high.
So, during this time, Moke did not hesitate to accompany Wang Fan day and night for 23 days. In the past 23 days, Wang Fan fought the disease with strong will and tenacious fighting spirit, and the doctors spared no effort to treat.
Although Moke could only look at his wife through the glass of the ICU, as long as he saw that Wang Fan's "heart monitoring" was still beating, his heart felt grounded, and he firmly believed that Wang Fan would wake up sooner or later.
However, after 23 days of intense waiting, on February 15, 2020, a sad news came inexplicably, Wang Fan died of "pulmonary infarction".
This day coincided with the second day of the Lunar New Year, which was supposed to be a happy day for family reunion, but the basketball couple, who were quite bumpy in the face of fate, suffered a ruthless blow. They were tricked by fate, and since then they have been separated forever, and it all happened so suddenly.
And their marriage is only five months old, and they have not even had a wedding. The unfortunate news hit Moko particularly hard, and overnight, his hair turned pale and the years seemed to carve deep marks on his face.
In fact, since Wang Fan fell ill, Moke has not participated in competitions or training, and he has been by his wife's side wholeheartedly. Communication with his teammates also became scarce, and he immersed himself in the reminiscence of fond memories of the past.
Not only Mo Ke, but also the leader of the Bayi team, Zheng Haixia, the coach Sui Feifei and others, also felt incomparable grief for Wang Fan's death. After Wang Fan left, they went to the Hebei Provincial Gymnasium together and attended her funeral with deep sorrow.
On March 6 of the same year, in view of Wang Fan's deeds, the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army specially approved her as a "revolutionary martyr" and held a memorial service at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
Moko was dressed in a neat military uniform, sitting in the passenger seat of the hearse, his face was haggard, his white hair was silent. Wang Fan's portrait is in his arms, and in the small black-and-white photo, Wang Fan is smiling in a handsome military uniform.
Then, Moke, who was holding his wife's portrait, slowly went to the farewell hall with the support of the staff. During this hour-long memorial service, Moko also took on the responsibility of a man, thanking the guests who came to mourn one by one.
He kept saying "thank you" and bowing in greetings. Moke's heart was as heavy as dead ash, he seemed to have become a walking dead, and his soul seemed to leave with Wang Fan.
The fans present also mourned for Wang Fan, shed tears for this young girl, and sighed with emotion. Their hearts were full of sadness and regret, hoping that if Wang Fan was still there, if she could continue to fight in the next matches, if she could still see her heroic appearance, how good it would be.
After Wang Fan's death, Moke found his second wife, named Zhou Yafei. After the two of them met, they gradually became familiar. Through continuous communication, the two gradually narrowed the distance between each other, got to know each other better, and gradually cultivated a good feeling.
Moke gradually found that when he was with Zhou Yafei, he could feel a rare ease. Zhou Yafei's laughter and charm can infect him when he is tired, which makes him feel very relieved.
Zhou Yafei is not only an excellent athlete, but also serves as a special swimming commentator on CCTV. When she decided to be with Moco, the family had expressed some concerns, but she firmly chose companionship and love. Moke was alone before, but now with Zhou Yafei, they are filial to Wang Fan's parents together.
Although Wang Fan is no longer alive, this filial piety is still undiminished, and Moke has become a good son of the two old men and continues to accompany them. Moke and Zhou Yafei also have children, who affectionately call Wang Fan's parents "grandpa" and "grandma."
Every time Wang Fan's birthday and festival day, Moke would accompany the two old men to worship Wang Fan. Wang Fan's story tells us how fragile and unpredictable life is. However, as long as we have a positive attitude, life will always bring new hopes and opportunities.
