Preamble:
He drove a luxury car home for the New Year, and the chandelier in the villa was worth millions of yuan, is Lin Dan's life really luxurious?
A dazzling badminton star with a brilliant career, does he really live a luxurious life like no other?
This seemingly simple question contains countless people's thoughts on success and luxury.
Luxury cars go home to start the warmest festival of the year
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the annual Spring Festival.
For many, the atmosphere of this festival is lively and full of symbols of reunion.
Reunion dinners, red envelopes, and blessings constitute an indispensable element of this festival.
However, in the impetuous urban life, this faint warmth and memories are also being slowly diluted.
For Lin Dan, the Spring Festival seems to have a special significance.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival in the first year of his retirement, Lin Dan chose to drive a luxury sports car from the villa he bought in Europe back to his hometown in China.
This short journey of thousands of kilometers is full of his deep longing for his homeland and family.
This sleek and sporty sports car with a luxurious interior was custom-made shortly after his official retirement.
The silver-white body shimmers brightly in the sun, and the red interior is full of festive Spring Festival atmosphere.
The sports car was enthusiastically sought after by fans as soon as it was launched, and its performance, handling, comfort, etc. were top-notch.
For Lin Dan, it is not only a good helper for galloping on the road, but also an important accessory to show personality and taste.
The picture of Lin Dan driving alone has undoubtedly become a topic of conversation.
As soon as the news of him driving a multi-million yuan sports car and returning to his hometown for the New Year came out, it quickly occupied the headlines of major entertainment sections.
There was a lot of talk about it, and most of them speculated that he was too homesick to choose to drive home so far after retiring in his first year.
In fact, for Lin Dan, every Spring Festival is full of homesickness.
From childhood to adulthood, the Spring Festival is the day he looks forward to the most.
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, his parents are busy with work, and he travels all over the world to compete, and there are too few days to return to his hometown to reunite.
Before the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, he always can't wait to go home and stay with his family for seven or eight days.
Therefore, during the Spring Festival when he retired in the first year, he chose to drive back to his hometown, firstly to enjoy the fun of driving, and secondly, because of his longing for home.
He drove very slowly along the way, and although the scenery along the way was ever-changing, his mind was all in his hometown.
Finally, when he passed through the familiar streets, the clusters of pines and cypresses in the city came into view, and the smell of his hometown came to his face, and he was excited and inevitably had red circles in his eyes.
This time he went home the most in his life.
The luxury villa highlights the million-dollar chandelier, and the warmth of home surpasses luxury
In his hometown, a century-old city, Lin Dan has a number of historic old mansions and high-end apartments.
Every time he returned home, he would visit these places and brush off the dust one by one, as if he was savoring the imprint of time.
And several top mansions he purchased abroad have attracted the focus of countless attention.
One of the most scenic mountain villas he purchased in eastern Europe is the culmination of the architectural and design inspiration that Lin Dan has collected over the years.
This two-storey European-style villa built on the top of a high mountain covers an area of 5,000 square meters and has a construction area of nearly 3,000 square meters.
The villa is perched on a cliff with the main entrance facing a clear spring that cascades down from the top of the hill.
Behind the house is a dense forest and natural grassy slope, and in the distance there are rolling hills.
This fairyland-like scenery is in line with Lin Dan's yearning for a dream home.
The interior design of this villa is extremely luxurious.
The first floor has a sitting area, fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, etc., while the second floor is his private space, with the master bedroom occupying two-thirds of the entire second floor.
The master bedroom has large floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, facing the landscape of the valley embracing the mountains and forests.
The bedroom is covered with rare and precious wood floors from the forests of Eastern Europe, and the rich grain of wood flows in the golden sunlight.
The master bedroom is flanked by his cloakroom and bathroom, with a total size of more than 300 square meters, and at first glance it is more luxurious than the royal families.
Next to the master bedroom is his study, which is decorated with a book wall, neatly stacked with all kinds of rare books and collectibles.
This is the private library he has built over the years.
The outside of the study is connected to the sitting area by a glass corridor.
In the living room, there is a crystal chandelier imported from Sweden with a peculiar shape and a value of up to one million yuan, every detail of this chandelier contains the ultimate design, and the light it emits is like interpreting the brilliant brilliance of Lin Dan's life.
However, in this villa, Lin Dan's mind is not completely immersed in these luxuries.
For him, this is just a beautiful stop on the road of life, a place where he can stop and reminisce about the past and look forward to the future.
The real home is still in the relatively simple but warm old house in my hometown.
There are yellowed old photos, inlaid in slender wooden frames, recording the bits and pieces of his growth, there are familiar instructions and instructions from his parents, and there is a table of Chinese New Year's Eve rice covered with home-cooked food, and the smell of hot meals is intertwined with laughter and joy...... These warmth cannot be compared to any luxury.
Perhaps it is precisely because he understands this in his heart that Lin Dan has never given up the maintenance and decoration of the old mansion in this small city while owning tens of millions of mansions.
He has set up a small private museum inside, which retains the signs and imprints of his upbringing.
He often laughed at himself that this was the most luxurious luxury in his life, because it came from within, not from without.
Lin Dan: Behind the success is the persistence of dreams and family
When we look up at the starry sky, all we see is the light emanating from the stars.
Behind these lights is the burning of the planet itself for hundreds of millions of years, and the persistence and blooming of hundreds of millions of years.
Similarly, when we see Lin Dan's success and luxurious life today, we may have the illusion of a moment, as if he is the pride of the sky, born to stand on the cusp of the times and become the focus of attention.
But in fact, behind his success, there is a lot of hard work.
When he was a child, he lacked talent, and he chased with extraordinary efforts, and even stayed alone in the gymnasium to train independently after his teammates fell asleep, and finally caught up with or even surpassed many so-called "wizards".
As an adult, it was a long tour, and almost all of my time was dedicated to badminton, the love of my life.
In his opinion, badminton is like a haunting dream.
This dream opened up his desire to win, and supported him to move forward bravely from peak to peak.
It is also a dream that needs to be guarded with all his life.
It is precisely because of his never-give-up dream that he has such a glorious life today.
Similarly, behind all his brilliant achievements, there is also the care and support of his family, especially his parents, who have been dedicated to it for many years.
Since he was a child, his parents had high hopes for him, but they never showed him half of it, but just encouraged him to pursue his dreams bravely as always.
Even when he was injured many times after quitting the race, his parents did not complain, but just told him to love himself and persevere to the end.
Without such meticulous understanding and encouragement from parents, Lin Dan may not be where he is today.
Therefore, although Lin Dan lives a very luxurious life in the eyes of the outside world, deep in his heart, he still retains a deep concern for his family and has never been confused by fame and fortune.
This concern and gratitude have also become the most powerful motivation for his success.
The legend continues, and we look forward to Lin Dan bringing more positive energy
For Lin Dan, retirement may be just a stop on his life's journey.
It is a place where he can pause and look back, or he can look to the future and think about how the next chapter of his life will unfold.
No matter how many twists and turns the road ahead, we hope that this legendary superstar can continue to shine and become a positive benchmark for young people and a life icon for those who want to do so.
In fact, after retiring, Lin Dan is also actively looking for new opportunities in life.
He not only served as the image spokesperson of many enterprises, actively participated in public welfare and charity, but also began to think about the development of his career.
He plans to set up a series of youth badminton training schools to nurture the next generation of outstanding badminton players through a high-quality environment, facilities and teachers.
This may become another new career peak in his life.
Epilogue:
In our time, positive energy is often scarce, and many celebrities become obsessed with money and material things after success.
And Lin Dan's choice is undoubtedly impressive.
