At the opening ceremony of the 8th Fujian Basketball Association, heavyweight guests from all walks of life gathered, including Liu Yudong, president of the Fujian Basketball Association, Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, former teammate Wang Zhizhi, and the legend of the Chinese women's basketball team, Zheng Haixia. This opening ceremony witnessed the glory of basketball, but it also worried people, because Zheng Haixia, the former sister of the Chinese women's basketball team, appeared in the public eye, and her physical condition was distressing.
Zheng Haixia, born in 1967, was born in Shangqiu, Henan. Due to her tall stature, she embarked on the path of basketball with the support of her family. However, due to the poverty of her family, she once had to go barefoot and fight the basketball court. A kind carpenter made her a pair of wooden shoes that allowed her to continue her training. Zheng Haixia's hard work and outstanding athletic talent eventually led her to enter Wuhan Sports School, and then was discovered and introduced into the team by the Bayi team. In 1983, at the age of 16, she joined the Chinese women's national basketball team, marking the entry of the Chinese women's basketball team into the era of Zheng Haixia.
In the following years, Zheng Haixia represented the Chinese women's basketball team in four Olympic Games, four World Cups, four Asian Games, and eight Asian Championships, and has always played an important role as the main player. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the young Zheng Haixia won the bronze medal together with the Chinese women's basketball team. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, she led the Chinese team to win the silver medal. In the 1994 World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team won the second place, and Zheng Haixia contributed a lot. In 1997, Zheng Haixia, who had turned 30, joined the WNBA and became a member of the Los Angeles Sparks, and was the first basketball player in Asia to enter the WNBA. However, years of training and competition took a major toll on her body, and finally in 1998, she chose to retire, ending her career.
After retiring, Zheng Haixia continued to contribute to the basketball industry and served as the head coach of the Bayi women's basketball team. Until 2019, she served as the head coach and team manager of the Bay's women's basketball team. In terms of personal life, Zheng Haixia has experienced emotional twists and turns, she once had an affair with an athlete, but due to the great pressure brought by her outstanding performance on the field, the two quickly broke up. However, in 2010, Zheng Haixia tied the knot with her fan Xu Qinghua. According to reports, Xu Qinghua has been a loyal fan of Zheng Haixia for many years, and the two eventually achieved positive results. At the wedding, many celebrities, including Sui Feifei, came to send blessings. But unfortunately, Zheng Haixia is facing infertility problems due to her previous injuries, and it is reported that her husband Xu Qinghua has not appeared for 6 years, which puts the whole family in an embarrassing situation.
At this time, the CBA All-Star Weekend was in full swing in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Zheng Haixia was invited to attend this grand event as the main guest. What's even more exciting is that she personally participated in the judging of the dunk contest and made an appearance on the spot. As a judge, she witnessed a young player, Zhang Zhenlin, successfully advance to the final of the Slam Dunk Contest. Zheng Haixia's arrival undoubtedly added more excitement to the All-Star Weekend, and she is also looking forward to continuing to shine in this new phase of her life.
On the basketball stage, Zheng Haixia is an indelible legend, her tenacity and persistence have always inspired countless basketball fans and young players. Despite the ruthlessness of the years, her basketball dream still shines, and she will continue to dedicate her passion and wisdom to the basketball career. No matter how twists and turns her life is, Zheng Haixia will be an indispensable part of the history of Chinese women's basketball, and her legendary story will always inspire us and make us look forward to her continuing on the future basketball path.
