Since childhood, Fu Mingxia has shown extraordinary athletic talent, and has repeatedly made achievements in the field of three Olympic Games, winning gold and silver. She competed with a high degree of self-control and tenacious willpower, and was highly exposed and popular, and was known as a rare representative of outstanding athletes.
Looking back at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Fu Mingxia, who was only 14 years old, became famous in one fell swoop, setting a record for the youngest champion in Olympic history and winning the gold medal in the women's 10-meter platform jump.
At that time, she was still in junior high school, and she was as tall as a teenager, but she had already shown amazing strength and psychological tenacity beyond ordinary people. On the field, her petite figure was light and elegant, like a butterfly dancing in the air, and finally landed freely, stirring up thousands of splashes.
When she finished her movements and looked confident, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Four years later, at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Fu Mingxia's performance was frequent. She not only won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter platform in one go, but also won the gold medal in the women's 3-meter springboard at the same time, becoming the first player in the history of mainland Olympic diving to win a double championship in the diving platform.
This achievement further underlines her exceptional athletic ability.
Leaving the arena, Fu Mingxia maintained a high degree of professionalism. She is meticulous in her approach to training, strict with herself, and strives for perfection in every movement.
She has tireless tenacity and never relaxes her self-training. It can be said that dedication will always accompany her every success.
In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing competed on the same stage, and the two encountered a thrilling battle in the women's single 3-meter springboard final. In the end, after fierce competition in local actions, Fu Mingxia defeated Guo Jingjing to defend the gold medal with her extraordinary stable performance and tenacious willpower, and took this precious Olympic gold medal into her arms.
When her beautiful movements entered the water perfectly, the scene resounded with deafening cheers.
Although in later competitions, Fu Mingxia won many victories, but she always maintained a calm and composed state. Winning is just a normal thing for her. She never takes pride in the praise of the outside world, but always reminds herself to maintain a humble and low-key attitude.
Outside of the game, she showed a unique personality, dared to challenge authority, made up her mind about retirement, ignored the retention of her coach, and aspired to live an ordinary life.
Fu Mingxia used her practical actions to interpret the qualities that an excellent athlete should have: extraordinary athletic talent, tenacious willpower, high self-discipline, humble and low-key personality and independent personality traits.
It is these qualities that have made her win 4 golds and 2 silvers in three Olympic Games, and she has been crowned the "Queen of Diving" by the world.
An extraordinary marriage with Liang Jinsong
On March 1, 2001, Fu Mingxia, who attended the "Outstanding Leader" award ceremony in Hong Kong, met Liang Jinsong, a financial tycoon who was 26 years older than her. It was love at first sight, and she was deeply fascinated by this humorous, mature and masculine Liang Gongzi.
Leung was born in Hong Kong and was married to Tam Shufen, a well-known Hong Kong fund manager. However, the marriage was uneventful for a long time and finally came to an end in 1998.
The two also failed to have children of their own, which is a pity.
For Fu Mingxia, Liang Jinsong's mature, steady, decisive and capable temperament just meets her expectations for a "father replacement". She has been dependent on her father since she was a child, and she seems to have an endless yearning for this kind of fatherly love.
However, when Fu Mingxia and Leung Jinsong's relationship was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong and the mainland. As the queen of diving, why did she fall in love with an older and divorced man? This really caused an uproar in the outside world.
The most shocking thing was Fu Mingxia's parents, Fu Yijun and his wife. This old couple in Wuhan, Hubei Province, can't understand why their daughter made such a "deviant" choice.
In the face of strong opposition from her family, Fu Mingxia insisted on her own views and went her own way.
She knows what kind of love and life she needs, and she doesn't want to be dominated by others. So, despite the obstruction of her family, Fu Mingxia bravely invited Liang Jinsong to come to Beijing to meet and communicate with her family.
With a mature and wise attitude, Liang Jinsong finally made his parents-in-law gradually change their opinion of this son-in-law. Although they are still concerned about the age gap between the two, in the face of their daughter's insistence, Fu Yijun and his wife reluctantly accept the reality.
On July 15, 2002, the two were married in a grand ceremony on the beach of Dreams in Hawaii. After marriage, Fu Mingxia settled in Hong Kong with her husband. In February of the following year, they were happy to have their beloved daughter Liang Siyu come to the world, and their parents-in-law came from Wuhan to personally take care of Fu Mingxia's confinement and enjoy the arrival of family happiness.
In December of the following year, the two added their beloved son Liang Haojia, and in 2008, they gave birth to their third son, Liang Jiawei, which injected infinite vitality into this new family. In order to take care of their three children, Fu Yijun and his wife volunteered to become free caregivers for their son-in-law's family to share the burden of housework.
The Southern plot goes back and the reason for the breakup
The love story of diving queen Fu Mingxia is also ups and downs, with twists and turns. It all started back to that autumn day after the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
Fu Mingxia returned to the diving team of Tsinghua University, her alma mater, and she was particularly happy. On a sunny Sunday in October, the Beijing Guoan football team played a warm-up match on campus.
As a fanatical fan, Fu Mingxia naturally couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart and couldn't wait to rush to the scene.
On the field, a player wearing the No. 20 jersey is particularly eye-catching, he is as domineering as a tiger descending from the mountain, and his style of play is brave and powerful. After the game, Fu Mingxia and her friends walked on the court together to take photos with these elite players.
To her surprise, the number 20 happened to be standing right next to her.
Through later understanding, Fu Mingxia knew that the No. 20 player was named Nanfang, the top scorer of the Beijing Guoan team, with outstanding ball skills, and was also named "Guoan Zidane".
Nanfang was born in Shanghai and moved to Beijing with his parents when he was 6 years old, his father taught at Beijing Key Middle School and his mother was a French teacher.
Nanfang, who excelled in learning from a small school, later joined the national security team, and quickly became the captain of the team with his outstanding football talent, and helped the team win many league championships.
During this time, he was sought after by countless media and fans. And Fu Mingxia, as a fanatical fan of the south, naturally fell in love with this football hero at first sight.
After the two met, the south launched a passionate pursuit of Fu Mingxia. She was deeply touched by the love of Nannan and her family for her, and she loved this warm family.
Fu Mingxia, who lacked family warmth, was naturally heartfelt and moved.
Soon, the relationship between the two spread throughout the city and became a hot topic. A number of media outlets have launched 5,000-word long articles, enthusiastically depicting the beautiful and moving love story between this pair of "golden boy Yujia".
Nanfang publicly confessed that Fu Mingxia was a model for him to learn. The parents-in-law also regarded Fu Mingxia as their own and cared for her very much.
However, just when everyone thought that the pair of mandarin ducks would eventually achieve a positive result, an unexpected news broke the calm lake - Nanfang and Fu Mingxia announced their breakup in 2000.
The reason why the two broke up is rumored to be mainly due to personality differences and huge differences in life concepts. As for Fu Mingxia, who has an independent personality and the courage to challenge authority, getting along with a man from a traditional family in the south will inevitably produce some irreconcilable contradictions.
At the moment of breaking up, Fu Mingxia couldn't help herself, and tears rained down. The parents in the south were also grief-stricken. A story of a "model couple" that was wildly sought after by the outside world came to an abrupt end.
Fu Mingxia's family affection
Fu Mingxia, who grew up in Wuhan, has always had a very tense relationship with her parents, Fu Yijun and his wife. The old couple in Hubei have always loved and hated their daughter's life, and they want to control it but have little effect.
Just when the relationship between Fu Mingxia and Liang Jinsong was exposed, Fu Yijun and his wife couldn't hide their shock and anger.
In the face of strong opposition from her parents, Fu Mingxia still went her own way. She knows what kind of love and life she needs, and she never wants to be dominated by anyone. After many times of communication, Fu Yijun and his wife finally gradually understood their daughter's thoughts and persistence, and let go of the mustard in their hearts.
In 2002, Fu Mingxia and Liang Jinsong got married in Hawaii. In February of the following year, they were happy to have their beloved daughter Liang Siyu born. Fu Yijun and his wife rushed from Wuhan to Hong Kong overnight to personally take care of Fu Mingxia, who had just given birth, and witnessed this happy moment.
Fu Mingxia added her beloved son Liang Haojia the following year, and with the gradual increase in the number of children in the family, the burden of life increased sharply. Fu Yijun and his wife were duty-bound and did not hesitate to become the free caregivers of their son-in-law's family, sharing the heavy responsibility of housework.
Whenever Fu Mingxia's family lives in Hong Kong, Fu Yijun and his wife dutifully take care of their three lovely grandchildren. Once every two years, they return to their hometown in Wuhan for a short rest.
During this period, his son-in-law Liang Jinsong would always give generous gifts, so that the two old people could feel the warmth of home.
It can be said that although there was a generation gap and estrangement at the beginning, a new and warm family relationship was established between Fu Mingxia and her parents in the end. For their daughter's happy marriage, Fu Yijun and his wife gave selfless blessings and support, and interpreted the parents' deep love for their children with their actions.
Diving coach Yu Fen's point
In 1987, Yu Fen, a diving coach from Enshi, Hubei Province, coached the diving team of Tsinghua University. She had a unique vision and discovered the rebellious and uninhibited talent of Fu Mingxia, who was only 14 years old at the time.
At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Yu Fen's protégé Li Qing won a valuable silver medal for her. This undoubtedly made Yu Fen have high hopes for Fu Mingxia, hoping that this potential gem could shine under her carving.
Sure enough, soon Fu Mingxia left the diving team in her hometown of Hubei and went to Yu Fen's arms, starting a new training career at Tsinghua University with her former teammate Xiao Hailiang.
Under Yu Fen's careful training, Fu Mingxia is like a butterfly that has broken out of a cocoon, her skills are becoming more and more proficient, and her personal strength has gradually broken through the encirclement, which has attracted much attention.
In 1990, Fu Mingxia and Xiao Hailiang then joined the national diving team. Captain Zhou Jihong was full of praise for Fu Mingxia's talent. Since then, Fu Mingxia has become the focus of attention of the whole team, and eventually forged her legendary life of four gold medals and two silver medals in three Olympic Games.
However, after the 1997 National Games, Fu Mingxia suddenly made up her mind to retire. Yu Fen was deeply disturbed by this, and she was worried that Fu Mingxia's decision was too hasty and reckless.
So she pleaded with the international player Nanfang to come forward and persuade Fu Mingxia to return to the game.
Out of sincere love for Fu Mingxia, Nanfang unreservedly agreed to Yu Fen's request. After his repeated persuasion, Fu Mingxia finally regained her diving dream in 1998 and returned to the national team.
Soon, in the final of the Sydney Olympics, Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing staged a fierce duel. In the end, she defeated her teammates with an excellent performance and defended the gold medal in the single 3m springboard.
Yu Fen, who was watching the game, would definitely applaud and high-five the gold medal and watch his students achieve glory again.
For Fu Mingxia, Yu Fen is by no means a simple coach, she is the guide of this rebellious girl's life trajectory, the centerstone of several ups and downs in her life, and her enlightenment teacher in the true sense.
And Fu Mingxia's glorious achievements also show that Yu Fen's tireless teaching has finally reaped the greatest reward.
