If you want to ask who China's "gymnastics prince" is, then there will be no doubt, it is Li Ning. Similarly, the princess is matched. And the princess is Chen Yongyan.
Chen Yongyan is a female gymnast from Wuzhou, Guangxi, born in October 1962. In 1982, he was named an international athlete and represented the Chinese team in major international competitions five times. In 1980, he won the Hartford International Gymnastics Invitational Tournament in the United States, all-around third place and second place on uneven bars. None of this was as loud as her other title: Li Ning's wife.
Chen Yongyan and Li Ning are fellow villagers, and the two have been together since they entered the Guangxi gymnastics team as children. Li Ning, who joined the professional gymnastics team in 1971, was naughty like a monkey, sneaking out of the dormitory during his lunch break to see a girl who was working overtime on the balance beam to practice churning and jumping, and seeing the girl constantly falling off the equipment, he asked with concern: "Does it hurt?" The little girl shook her head, and kept getting up to practice the machine again. Seeing this hard-working little girl, Li Ning put away his heart and began to practice gymnastics well. This girl is Chen Yongyan. The fate of the two began when they first met.
After that, the two became close friends, trained together, shed tears together, laughed together, and later entered the national team. In the 1982 Gymnastics World Cup, Li Ning alone won 6 gold medals, becoming the star of gymnastics, and was later known as the "Prince of Gymnastics". Subsequently, at the New Delhi Games, Li Ning and Chen Yongyan won the men's and women's gymnastics all-around championships respectively. Chen Yongyan has since been known as the "Asian Gymnastics Princess". And the love story of the prince and princess only then began.
"Yongyan, do you have a boyfriend?" "Yes." "Where?" "Far away, close at hand."
After the Los Angeles Olympics, Chen Yongyan retired, and the two also opened their relationship. After that, they began a decade-long love marathon. It wasn't until 1993 that the two married. In the past twenty years, from the glory of Los Angeles to the setbacks of Seoul, whether Li Ning is a failure or a success, Chen Yongyan has always stood by Li Ning's side and encouraged him. At 7:00 a.m. on May 18, 1999, Li Ningshuang, who had just been elected as one of the 25 best athletes of this century, came to the door: Chen Yongyan gave birth to a son of 6 pounds and 4 pairs!
After retiring from the army, as the boss of Li Ning, life is very regular, Hong Kong media have reported that he went out to the Office of Tongluo Bay Times Square at 8:30 in the morning, worked until more than 8 p.m., and went home to share the joy of life with his wife and children without socializing.
I have to say that Chen Yongyan is happy, she found a perfect husband who loves her, even after the family wealth, Li Ning's feelings for Chen Yongyan are always the same. Of course, Li Ning is also happy, Chen Yongyan was a well-known beauty in the Chinese sports world at that time, and dignified, low-key, cultivated, even if she became a rich woman, she always maintained a low profile, doing the woman behind Li Ning, the Hong Kong media even photographed her personally buying vegetables, husband and godson, Li Ning was able to enjoy the joy of heaven.
