Looking back on the long river of history, Liu Xiang, who was once known as the "Chinese Flyer", set a new world record in 2006 with a stunning move of 12.88 seconds, and the entire land of China was boiling, and the world was also shocked by it!
At that moment, this outstanding yellow track and field athlete shocked the world and successfully broke the "hegemony" enjoyed by Europeans and Americans in the straight field.
However, time flies, and the sports superstar who wrote a brilliant chapter on his own is now in his prime.
In the seven years after retiring, he lived a leisurely life of "eating, drinking and having fun", and walked through six spring and autumn seasons hand in hand with his wife, but he never ushered in the crystallization of love, which made the outside world have a lot of speculation about his living situation.
Liu Xiang's life journey is like a wonderful drama, he has climbed to the pinnacle of honor, but he has also fallen into a painful trough. Now, this once bright star has been dimmed, quietly silent in the ordinariness of life.
However, his story does not end there, but instead opens a new chapter at this moment, and we are called to delve into the inner world of the former sports hero and look back on his glory days.
In fact, Liu Xiang has shown extraordinary athletic talent since he was a child. At the age of seven, he was selected for the track and field team with his otherworldly talent, and thus embarked on a rugged but shining sports journey.
As a teenager, Liu Xiang focused on the long jump, and in the process of training, he honed perseverance and perseverance, laying a solid foundation for his future sports career.
Today's Liu Xiang has lived a leisurely life of "eating, drinking and having fun". In 2015, he officially announced his retirement, ending a career that lasted more than ten years.
While the former sports superstar's career path has not been easy, his fighting spirit and tenacity are on full display.
In the seven years since he retired, Liu Xiang has never considered returning to the workplace. With a net worth of up to 1 billion yuan, he doesn't seem to need to work hard for money anymore. His calm and calm expression seemed to say: "Money, career, these are no longer important."
Living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest is the true meaning of life.
In addition to enjoying a plain and warm life, Liu Xiang's marital status has also aroused warm attention from all walks of life. After the breakdown of his first marriage, he quickly reconciled with his first girlfriend, who had been with him for many years.
Time flies, the two have entered the marriage hall for more than six years, but they have never ushered in the birth of a new life In the eyes of many people, "no children under the knees" may not be called a perfect life, but for Liu Xiang himself, he may not care too much about this matter.
Sitting on hundreds of millions of family fortunes, how can he no longer bother with daily trivial matters? After retiring, he seems to only want to immerse himself in the leisurely life he yearns for, stay away from the hustle and bustle, and enjoy his old age to the fullest.
In 1996, Liu Xiang's athletic career ushered in a major turning point. That year, he participated in a 100-meter race, showing outstanding athletic talent and winning high praise from his coach Fang Shuiquan.
Since then, Liu Xiang has been trained professionally in hurdles.
Faced with a new field of hurdles, Liu Xiang is full of endless enthusiasm and determination to pursue excellence. He is extremely demanding of himself, and he is even more committed to training and is determined to master the essence of the sport in a short period of time.
With a solid foundation and a studious spirit, Liu Xiang quickly rose to prominence in hurdles, and in 1996 he won the Shanghai Junior Championships, which undoubtedly became the starting point and an important milestone in his career.
In 1999, Liu Xiang was favored by the famous coach Sun Haiping. Sun Haiping was well aware of the huge potential contained in Liu Xiang, and decided to take him under his tutelage and teach hurdling skills himself.
Liu Xiang, who shoulders such a heavy responsibility, is even more determined, he knows that this opportunity is not easy to come by, and he will go all out.
However, due to his relatively weak foundation in hurdles and the lack of systematic training, Liu Xiang often encountered many challenges in the process of training with Sun Haiping.
Whenever he witnessed the torture of his students during training, Sun Haiping always felt a deep pain in his heart, but despite this, he never lowered his expectations for Liu Xiang and was determined to carve this jade carefully.
After witnessing her son's exhaustion and painful retching after rigorous training, Liu Xiang's mother was deeply tormented, and even had the urge to argue with Sun Haiping many times.
However, whenever she went to visit, Sun Haiping avoided seeing her, even to avoid her interference from negatively affecting her son's upbringing.
As time passed, watching her son's efforts gradually pay off, Liu Xiang's mother gradually dispelled her inner doubts and firmly chose to fully support her son.
Facts have proved that under Sun Haiping's rigorous training like fighting, Liu Xiang's competitive level has improved rapidly, showing an astonishing speed of progress.
That once-questioned hurdling talent finally shone brightly at the 2001 World University Games, where he showed the world what he was capable of by winning a gold medal for his outstanding performance.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, for Liu Xiang, who was at the peak of his career, this world-renowned top-level event was undoubtedly the biggest challenge. As the number one superstar of the Chinese delegation, winning the Olympic gold medal held on home to achieve a personal Grand Slam was originally a low-hanging fruit.
However, at the moment when the people of the country and even the Chinese people around the world were looking forward to it, a sudden accident ruthlessly shattered the dreams of Liu Xiang and everyone.
On the eve of the game, his legs were unfortunately injured, and in desperation, Liu Xiang could only tearfully announce his withdrawal from the competition.
As soon as this bad news was announced, it immediately caused a nationwide sensation, like a thunderbolt from the blue, shocking people's hearts. Liu Xiang's withdrawal from the competition not only made hundreds of millions of Chinese people sad, but also made the global audience feel sorry.
As the central figure of the incident, the pressure and pain that Liu Xiang himself endured are naturally indescribable.
How can an athlete who is determined to fight to the end for the honor of the country not feel extremely sad and deeply remorseful for his decision to withdraw from the competition? He once vowed to let the five-star red flag fly high on the arena in his hometown, but the reality gave him such a heavy blow.
As a result, Liu Xiang had to temporarily say goodbye to the field, undergo surgery and devote himself to arduous rehabilitation. Under the careful guidance of Coach Sun, he rekindled the hurdle dream with more determination than ever before.
During this time, Liu Xiang fans from all over the country rejoiced at his return and looked forward to witnessing the "Chinese Flyer" sweat on the field again.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Liu Xiang after recovery was like the rising sun, and his competitive state almost returned to the peak moment of the past! Later, in the National Games and the Asian Games, he led all the way and easily won the championship.
The venue fell into a shocking silence in an instant, and the audience's original mood of joy and hope completely collapsed in this instant. Liu Xiang's accidental fall was undoubtedly like a sharp blade, deeply cutting the tight string in everyone's heart.
First, the high-profile trip to Beijing fell through, and now the dream of London has come to naught, and the frustration can be imagined.
The revelry dispersed, leaving only endless regrets. In this way, Liu Xiang once again became the focus of public opinion.
The spectators, who had had high hopes for him, were beaten to the ground in an instant, and their disappointment quickly turned into unprecedented anger and condemnation.
Some people directly accused him of being a "complete actor", and some people maliciously speculated that he "deliberately planned all this".
