Go back to the budding love
In a villa in a wealthy area of Beijing, Zhang Yining is holding her newborn daughter in her arms, with a happy smile on her face. Her husband Xu Wei hurried back from work and saw a warm scene, his eyes were full of doting.
He walked quickly to his wife's side, gently put his palm over his daughter's young face, and smiled lovingly.
This happy family scene dates back many years. In 1981, Zhang Yining was born in an ordinary family in Beijing, and the elders took good care of her and regarded her as a pearl in the palm of their hands.
However, unlike other girls, Zhang Yining has not been very interested in the princess-like life since she was a child, and prefers outdoor sports, especially table tennis, which is regarded as a beloved thing by her father.
Whenever she picked up her father's racket and threw herself into the sport, her eyes always sparkled with innocent happiness. She often holds a racket in front of the table tennis ball alone, greedily indulging in it, and shows this unique fun with a smile.
Although her family wants her to live a comfortable and comfortable life, Zhang Yining seems to have been born with a love for the sport.
Instead of living like a princess in a greenhouse, she prefers to run, laugh and fight with the boys on the court. She always came home dusty, laughing and having fun.
It was often late at night to step through the house, but she never complained about it, and even enjoyed it.
6-year-old Zhang Yining has already brought table tennis rackets to kindergarten, although her skills are still immature, but her love for this sport is completely forgetful.
Her uncle saw her enthusiasm and enrolled her in an amateur table tennis team in Beijing. On the day of registration, Zhang Yining was very excited, and repeatedly took out the racket in his schoolbag to play with along the way, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Since then, she has been traveling to the stadium every day across three zones to train, and she has been working hard at a young age. However, Zhang Yining has never had the slightest complaint about this, and silently endured this difficult time, full of love for table tennis and desire for the future.
Such a firm willpower and endurance that does not lose to a boy already indicates that her life will be inspirational and legendary.
Will is like steel
When practicing alone at home, Zhang Yining has gradually realized the joy of table tennis. She is always alone in front of the racket and table tennis ball, greedily throwing herself into it, and never getting tired of it.
When she was 5 or 6 years old, her uncle saw that she was so fascinated by table tennis that he sent her to an amateur team in Beijing. On the day of registration, Zhang Yining was very excited, and on the way, he took out the racket in his schoolbag over and over again to play, his eyes flashing with expectation.
Since then, she has been training in the gym across 3 zones every day, and schoolwork and training have firmly occupied her schedule. Despite this, Zhang Yining has never had the slightest complaint, silently endured these hard years, and her love and dedication to table tennis have long been deeply imprinted in her character.
In a competition when he was 9 years old, Zhang Yining experienced tears on the field for the first time in his life. After the first round of the battle, the two sides were tied, but in the next second game, Zhang Yining lost 13:15 near the end.
Seeing this score, she was emotionally disturbed, and tears welled up like a bank in the fierce arena.
At that moment, Zhang Yining was in great pain, and it seemed that all his efforts had been wasted. But it was this unwilling cry that made the opponent psychologically abnormal, thus giving her an opportunity.
This precious honor undoubtedly gave Zhang Yining unprecedented motivation and warmth, proving the value of her hard work over the years. Winning this new challenge, she saw for the first time a promising future in her life.
Since then, Zhang Yining has never shed a tear on the field again, and his will is like steel to train himself to move towards a higher goal.
Brilliant career
With outstanding talent and perseverance, Zhang Yining soon joined the big family of the Beijing team. There, she received more professional and systematic training, and her skills continued to improve.
Not long after, Zhang Yining, who was only 12 years old, successfully entered the squad of the national table tennis team. At this stage, it is when her peers are still in elementary school, and she has surpassed others and become a rising star of national players, laying a solid foundation for her future career.
After entering the national team, Zhang Yining entered a broader field of football, and on this international top platform, she had the opportunity to learn from more internationally renowned players, broaden her horizons, and continue to improve her skills.
Moreover, being able to spend time with a group of like-minded teammates and learn from each other is undoubtedly a joyful and fulfilling experience for her.
After two years of training, Zhang Yining's strength has been improving day by day, and he has also accumulated rich competition experience in the national team. At the age of 14, she won the event at the National Junior Championships, beating her former champion Donna.
Despite her young age, Zhang Yining has shown maturity and stability beyond her peers on the field, and her strategizing and calm state is amazing. This battle became famous, and she burst out with an unparalleled light in the glorious arena.
Since then, Zhang Yining has been like a fierce horse that never retracts his hooves, and has won many good results in major competitions, winning one championship title after another. Despite this, she maintained a humble and low-key style, trained hard after the race, and was never satisfied with her results.
Finally, in 2002, Zhang Yining, who was in her early 20s, completely broke out and showed her infinite potential. That year, with her outstanding performance, she won the World Cup Women's Singles Championship, the ITTF Finals Women's Singles Championship, and the Busan Asian Games Women's Singles Championship, becoming a household name.
Since then, Zhang Yining's hard work can be seen on the field of every sports event. Like a fierce wind, she swept up and took away one honor after another.
It has not only won supreme respect for individuals, but also added glorious sports glory to the country.
In this way, in the nearly 20 years of her career, Zhang Yining has won heavyweight awards including 5 World Cups, 2 World Championships women's singles championships, and 2 Olympic women's singles gold medals.
Sweet marriage after retirement
In this way, Zhang Yining spent nearly 20 years to create a brilliant career in table tennis. Finally, at some point, she chose to hang up her boots and announced her retirement.
Although he has left his identity as an athlete, Zhang Yining's love for the sport of table tennis has never diminished. For her, table tennis has long been integrated into all aspects of life and has become an indispensable part of life.
It is precisely because of this dedication and love that she often traveled around the world to coach after retiring, passing on her valuable experience to table tennis teams in other countries.
It was during one such coaching trip that Zhang Yining got acquainted with Xu Wei, a business magnate. Although the two are engaged in completely different fields, it is the opportunity of table tennis that gives them the opportunity to get to know each other.
In the process of getting along, the two rubbed off the fire of love and soon fell in love.
Soon after, Zhang Yining and Xu Wei quickly entered the palace of marriage. But their wedding process is not as high-profile and lavish as one might think, but rather gives it a low-key and mysterious feel.
According to people familiar with the matter, all the staff present at the time signed a strict confidentiality agreement, which shows how much the newcomers attach importance to privacy.
This low-key style comes from Xu Wei's predecessor is the popular actress Yuan Li. The two have been in love for 12 years, although they have reached the point of talking about marriage, but they eventually parted ways for various reasons.
It is precisely because of this love history that Xu Wei is particularly cautious and cautious about emotional and marital affairs.
After all these twists and turns, Zhang Yining and Xu Wei were finally able to hold hands and enter a new stage of life. Although their marriage was not initially widely recognized by the outside world, everything turned out to be beautiful and peaceful over time.

However, as time passed, the loving couple won everyone's blessings with a happy and happy life. Soon after, Zhang Yining was pregnant with the good news that she was pregnant.
After learning the good news, Xu Wei, a seemingly calm and introverted business man, showed an unexpected tenderness.
In order to take care of his pregnant wife wholeheartedly, in order to take care of the baby in his wife's womb, Xu Wei resolutely made a major decision - to temporarily unload all the burden of work and stay at home to accompany his wife for 50 days and nights.
This dedication to the family and the importance of the role of the father are admirable.
Soon, Zhang Yining gave birth safely and gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter. Xu Wei was extremely happy about the birth of this family's new life. In order to celebrate the birth of his daughter, and to thank his wife for bringing him the warmth of motherhood, Xu Wei was full of pride and generously bought an antique courtyard house for Zhang Yining as a gift.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yining became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and since then the family of four has been happy and happy. After having a child, Zhang Yining devoted most of her energy to the family, taking care of the daily life of her two babies against time.
And Xu Wei, her husband, who was once firmly occupied by work, also found a new joy in life.
In order to spend more time with his wife and children, Xu Wei began to voluntarily give up many important business opportunities and job opportunities. In his opinion, the happy time with his family is far more important and precious than work.
In the past, the old things could be left behind, but now only family is all he cares about.
Today, Zhang Yining and Xu Wei's marriage has lasted for 14 years. Although the age gap between the two is indeed large, they still maintain the sweetness and intimacy of their love period.
