In December 2018, Liu Guoliang steadily ascended to the lofty position of chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and then delivered the meaningful and confident inaugural speech.
As the first player in the mainland to win the men's table tennis Grand Slam award, Liu Guoliang's career is full of hardships and twists and turns, but no matter when and where, there is always a strong force waiting for him and accompanying him through difficult moments.
Today, no matter from which angle you look at it, Liu Guoliang is undoubtedly a big winner in life. He has a well-behaved and sensible baby daughter, a wise and virtuous wife Wang Jin, and is also enthusiastic about his beloved table tennis career.
Watching him share photos of his daughter's success on the golf course on social platforms, the words are full of pride and happiness for his family. Presumably, such a fulfilling life will surely bring him endless happiness and satisfaction.
The story begins in 1992, when it was a bright spring in Beijing. The national team is holding an internal warm-up match, and Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui are back and forth, and they are equal.
In this fierce competition, a group of young girls from the national youth team stepped into the stadium, and one of them, a woman with a peerless appearance, immediately attracted Liu Guoliang's attention.
It turned out that she was Wang Jin, a rising star athlete of the national youth team. Since that visit, Wang Jin has hardly missed a single match against Mr. Liu. Whenever he won the applause of the audience with his skillful straight shooting and horizontal hitting skills, Wang Jin would cheer for him, and his warm eyes seemed to be stamped on Liu Guoliang's heart.
After the game, Liu Guoliang plucked up the courage to take the initiative to approach Wang Jin and invite her to the dinner. Although Wang Jin never thought that this heroic athlete would have such a side, she did have a desire to know more about him.
So, the two young men began to meet endlessly.
When they don't have a training schedule, they join hands to visit the markets, wander the parks, and enjoy a variety of Beijing cuisine. Liu Guoliang is well-versed in a variety of skills, and occasionally provides valuable advice on Wang Jin's competition skills.
He always encouraged Wang Jin to work hard and go all out to make it to the national team as soon as possible. As time passed, a touching love slowly developed between the two.
1999 was a life-and-death juncture for Liu Guoliang's career. This year, he successfully defeated Ma Lin and won the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships.
However, it was detected that he had taken a "stimulant" during a subsequent routine urine test. Faced with this major accusation, Liu Guoliang was very anxious, because he himself knew nothing about such illegal drugs.
At this difficult moment, Wang Jin, who was far away in Japan, temporarily left the court and rushed to his side. Every night, the two walk hand in hand through the streets of Beijing, reminiscing about the past.
Wang Jin's companionship and explanation made Liu Guoliang, who was in many difficulties, gradually come out of the haze. Three months later, the Organizing Committee of the World Table Tennis Championships finally returned Liu Guoliang's innocence.
In 2001, Wang Jin retired decisively, registered his own company, focused on marketing table tennis sports equipment and equipment, and hired Liu Guoliang as the company's brand image spokesperson.
Seeing his wife's hard work and dedication, Liu Guoliang was deeply moved and purchased a brand new mansion for his parents in Shenyang.
In 2002, the world table tennis scene changed abruptly, and Liu Guoliang's proud technical route suffered a major impact, and he had the idea of retiring. In the face of her husband's confusion, Wang Jin knew his love for table tennis, and persuaded in a thousand words: "Table tennis occupies a lofty position in the hearts of the people, and you can only feel that pride if you devote yourself to the cause of winning honor for the country."
With the support and encouragement of his wife, Liu Guoliang decisively chose to engage in coaching work, becoming the baton in the hands of his successor Cai Zhenhua, and working hard in the new arena.
Since taking on the role of coach, Liu Guoliang's schedule can be described as extremely tight, grasping every minute to learn and explore. As a young and promising newcomer who is new to the teaching world, the challenges and pressures he faces can be imagined.
Coaxing children to sleep, adding complementary food, early education and other matters made Wang Jin very busy, as if time was quietly slipping away without noticing. Especially when the twin babies are sick, Wang Jin feels even more pressured and often can't sleep peacefully in order to take care of the children.
However, the busyness is also full of joy. In the face of heavy housework, Wang Jin has never had a trace of complaint. She understands that, just as her scrappy husband is now fighting a new journey in the ring, she deserves unwavering support.
In this way, at home, Wang Jin did his best to take care of the housework, while Liu Guoliang devoted himself to coaching. Until the 2016 Rio Olympics, Liu Guoliang still couldn't stay with him.
When interviewed by the media, he couldn't hide his guilt, he hadn't seen his beloved twin daughters for three months, and now that they have transferred to primary school, his absence is really a pity.
However, even if he was absent from many important moments for his daughters, Liu Guoliang's education planning for them can be described as meticulous and thoughtful. He started his golf career for Xiao Yujie, and at the age of four, he met the famous coach Woods, and later developed the original "bunker training method" to train her.
A similar strict education method was also imposed on Xiao Yujie, requiring her to work hard to devote herself to table tennis.
In a blink of an eye, at the end of 2018, Liu Guoliang was finally able to take a break from the distractions of work and reunite with his wife and daughter. On social platforms, he shared photos of his daughter's success on the golf course, full of pride and happiness for his family.
After 14 years of love and 16 years of married life, Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin have walked a long road full of thorns but witnessing true love.
On June 12, 2006, the two completed the sacred wedding ceremony in Beijing. However, after the ceremony, Liu Guoliang hurried to the training ground, and all the wedding affairs were handled by Wang Jin.
Soon after, on August 18, they held an unprecedented wedding celebration in Beijing.
When witnessing the groom's dedication to his or her heavy workload, guests could not help but sigh that they had never seen a new husband's vacation so short.
However, behind this busy life is Wang Jin's silent but firm support and companionship. Whenever she spent a long night alone, she couldn't help but want to argue with her husband, but considering the emotions that might affect him, she finally had to bury this emotion deep in her heart.
She understands that, just as her scrappy husband is now fighting a new journey in the ring, she deserves unconditional support and understanding.
In this way, they helped each other all the way, and until today, the two have jointly forged this happy marriage.
Time flies, and the years have precipitated the feelings between them. Today's Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin will be able to reunite with their families with a smile and go to the next sweet stage of life together.
Today's Liu Guoliang has been forging ahead in the field of business and constantly creating brilliant achievements. His success story is a legend that is enviable. At the highest point of his career, he had a happy family life and the full support of his virtuous wife, Wang Jin.
Liu Guoliang's ability to continue to take off in his career is inseparable from the strong family support and firm belief behind him. From the initial love years to the later married life, Wang Jin has always been his most solid backing.
She unreservedly supports her husband's work, takes on the responsibility of taking care of the children and honoring the elders, so that he can devote himself to his busy career without worries.
We sincerely wish this sports legend, who was once known as the "fat man who can't play", always have the warmth and happiness of his family in the years to come. Hand in hand with the wise and virtuous partner Ms. Wang Jin, and the well-behaved and sensible baby daughters, you will be able to enjoy a full life full of thin gold.
