On January 4, 1991, a girl in her early 12s set foot on the soil of Perth, Australia, to compete in the World Swimming Championships. The girl's name is Fu Mingxia, she is not tall and childish, but this girl whose appearance does not match her age shows amazing strength and skill in the pool.
In the competition, she plunged like a sharp sword into the water, perfectly demonstrated the "Splash Disappearance Technique", and won the crown nearly 50 points ahead of the second place, becoming the youngest Olympic champion. This amazing performance attracted the attention of the international diving community, and Pakarina of Russia also sighed, saying that Fu Mingxia has opened a great distance with them, and the international diving community has entered the "era of Fu Mingxia".
However, behind the success is Fu Mingxia's persistence and hard work in her early years. Born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, she was weak and sick since childhood, but in order to let her exercise, her parents sent her to Wuhan Amateur Sports School to learn diving. Although she was once turned away due to poor flexibility, perseverance in training allowed her to finally succeed in the diving team and achieve excellent results in international competitions.
However, just when she was at the peak of her career, she chose to retire. Perhaps because ten years of continuous training made her feel monotonous, or perhaps she realized that her education level was far from that of her age, in 1997, Fu Mingxia suddenly announced her retirement.
After retiring from the military, she successfully entered the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University for study. In order to take care of her special situation, Tsinghua University has developed a special teaching program. During this time, her coach Yu Fen also came to Tsinghua University as a diving teacher, so that their mentor-apprentice friendship could continue.
However, the twist of fate took place at an awards ceremony. There, she met the person who would accompany her for the rest of her life - Liang Jinsong. Leung Kam Song, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, was the same award presenter with her, and their encounter gave them a good impression of each other. During the exchange, Fu Mingxia was attracted by Liang Jinsong's personable and erudite talent, and Liang Jinsong was also fascinated by her firm belief.
Although their acquaintance caused discussion from the outside world, they chose to believe in each other and chose each other without hesitation. Today, they have formed a happy family in their villa apartment in Hong Kong, and Fu Mingxia has become a successful and happy woman.
