The growth experience of Zhou Jie, the goddess of gymnastics
In 1991, in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, the cry of the first baby girl came. She was affectionately named Zhou Jie by her parents. The family is full of love for this young life and is full of expectations to see her grow up healthily.
Zhou Jie has been different from her peers since she was a child, she is active and unexpectedly loves sports, especially whenever she hears the passionate music coming from the gymnastics training hall, her energetic eyes can't help but show a yearning gaze.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and Zhou Jie's performance in the national team has never been outstanding. Despite her best efforts in the competition, she always struggled in the rankings and ended up missing out on top international competitions.
Fortunately, Zhou Jie was born with a good face, fair skin and a dignified posture, and was selected as the publicity image ambassador of the national sports team. The media also jokingly called her "the goddess of gymnastics" because of this.
This undoubtedly became a small consolation in the career.

In 1988, in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, a handsome and healthy baby boy was born. He is the future rising star of Chinese gymnastics - Zou Kai. Unlike Zhou Jie, Zou Kai seems to be a natural fit for gymnastics, and he began formal training at the age of 3 and has made rapid progress.
At the age of 14, he was selected for the national team for the first time, and after making a splash, he has won consecutive victories in various important competitions and won gold medals for the country many times.

At this moment, a familiar male voice sounded behind her. It turned out that the person was Zou Kai, the famous gymnastics prince at home and abroad, and he also came here to relax. Through conversation, the two were surprised to find that their experiences and thoughts were so similar.
Perhaps it was the sympathy that attracted each other, and they gradually became acquainted with each other and became close friends who talked about everything. In the process of friends becoming lovers, because they were worried about affecting each other, the two did not make it public, but just silently accompanied each other, giving support and encouragement.

Considering the dual factors of injury and age, he bitterly announced that he would leave the national team and officially end his sporting career.
After retiring, Zou Kai did not choose to leave the field of gymnastics, but continued to contribute to the cause of Chinese gymnastics as a coach and manager.
The peak of his career has passed, and Zou Kai has gradually learned to stop and enjoy the bits and pieces of life. He began to spend more time with his wife, and the two of them traveled far away together, spending many quiet and comfortable times.

The touching story of the goddess of gymnastics and her husband of 158
Once upon a time, Zhou Jie's beautiful face and perfect figure often appeared in the headlines of sports news and websites. Critics were fascinated by her physical charm and dubbed her the "goddess of gymnastics".
However, no one expected that this fairy-like gymnastics player would finally choose a man who seemed to be incompatible with her as her lifelong partner.
In contrast, although Zou Kai's appearance is not ugly, his height of only 158cm is not tall among boys. Coupled with the fact that the facial features are not deep enough, the whole gives people an ordinary or even ordinary feeling.
However, it is such an ordinary young man who can conquer Zhou Jie at the goddess level, and finally marry her as his wife. Many fans who eagerly pursued Zhou Jie at the beginning were shocked and said in an uproar that it was completely incredible.
In fact, Zhou Jie herself realized early on that the height gap between her and Zou Kai was very obvious. Especially when the two stood side by side, Zhou Jie's size was even slightly higher than Zou Kai.
But in the face of love, these external conditions are like a mist and do not constitute any substantial obstacles. As long as she thought of Zou Kai's slightly shy but sincere and warm smile and eyes, as well as his warm and powerful embrace, her heart swelled with endless tenderness and sweetness.
She knew that she would not regret choosing to spend her life with him hand in hand.
Now, Zhou Jie, who is already a wife and mother, looks back on the past and is more convinced in his heart that his choice is not wrong. She used her life experience to tell all girls that the most important thing for two people who love each other is sincerity and mutual respect, and any other standards are just illusory standards and not worth mentioning.
