When we look back at the most fascinating and touching love chapters in the history of national table tennis, the romantic story of Mr. Cai Zhenhua and his wife Ms. Huang Sheng is definitely the focus of attention.
In the past 34 years, they have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and have always maintained a fiery love like their first love, which is a model that is envied by the world, and has won the deep respect of the majority of national table tennis lovers.
Looking back on every moment of the past, Ms. Huang Sheng still has full of affectionate memories. At the solemn commendation ceremony of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, this "virtuous helper" who usually does not speak much on weekdays expressed his heartfelt words emotionally: "I am not a good talker, but I know that I am no different from wives and mothers all over the world, and although life is full of hardships, compared with those brave soldiers, the wives of seafarers and those couples who have been separated for a long time, it is already my great luck to be able to stay with my beloved for a long time." ”
These simple and sincere words fully expressed Ms. Huang Sheng's deep joy and gratitude. No matter how difficult life is, as long as she can be with her beloved and face the ups and downs of life together, this is her greatest happiness.
Mr. Choi Chun-wah also resonates with this. In his eyes, the deep relationship between him and his wife Huang Sheng stems from their deep understanding and selfless support. Even in the toughest moments, they were able to support each other and get through it together.
In fact, at the beginning of their careers, Mr. Cai Zhenhua and Ms. Huang Sheng used to live in a small space of only 15 square meters, and they could not even provide a decent bed.
However, even in such a poor situation, Ms. Huang Sheng never complained or flinched, but always unswervingly supported her husband's grand dream.
This kind of exemplary husband and wife friendship undoubtedly set a glorious example for many national table tennis players and coaches at that time. The Hungarian coach once said to Mr. Cai Zhenhua with emotion: "Your wife is really a great woman, and her perseverance is really admirable to be able to silently support your career in such a harsh environment."
It is this emotional bond of mutual understanding and mutual support that makes Mr. Cai Zhenhua still regard his wife Ms. Huang Sheng as his greatest spiritual pillar when his career is thriving.
Despite the heavy responsibilities, Cai Zhenhua always cares about his beloved wife's mood and needs.
Time flies to 1996, which coincides with the 33rd birthday of Ms. Huang Sheng. To commemorate this special day, Cai Zhenhua held a special banquet after the celebration of the Olympic Games, and presented a huge bouquet of 33 roses, and conveyed the blessing with tears in his eyes when his true feelings were revealed: "Today is your 33rd birthday, may you be happy!"
In front of everyone's eyes, Cai Zhenhua, who is usually rigorous and serious, showed a rare warmth, which undoubtedly further strengthened Huang Sheng's firm belief in marriage.
Ms. Huang Sheng later fondly recalled: "I never expected that such a strict person as Mr. Cai Zhenhua could be so romantic. At this moment, my heart was full of warmth, and I felt that all my efforts were worth it. "
There is no doubt that the intimate and unpretentious affection between the couple has brought inspiration and hope to countless people. Even in life's difficult moments, as long as both parties understand, support and trust each other, any difficulties will be solved.
The touching love story of Cai Zhenhua and Huang Sheng not only moved countless people, but also became a model for many Chinese table tennis team players and coaches to learn.
Their love is like a tenacious sword, shaping generations of table tennis heroes and winning countless glory for the motherland.
For Cai Zhenhua, his deep relationship with table tennis can be traced back to a chance encounter when he was three years old.
In 1961, Cai Zhenhua, who was only 3 years old, received a distant relative at his home. The relative was holding a pair of gelatinous ping-pong rackets in his hands, playing freely in front of him.
Seeing this, Xiao Cai Zhenhua tried his best to stretch out his little hand and babble to try to snatch the racket from his relatives. At this moment, as if arranged by fate, Cai Zhenhua's close connection with table tennis unfolded.
For this young child, table tennis has become an indispensable part of his life. This love for sports has also enabled Cai Zhenhua to write countless brilliant chapters in his future life journey.
However, fate seemed to be a joke, allowing Cai Zhenhua to experience many pain of life and death when he was young. It turned out that he had a gentle older sister and a brave older brother, but at the age of 11, when she was hopeful, she was misdiagnosed by the hospital for the fatal disease smallpox and eventually died.
The elder brother is even more unlucky, at the same age, the series of tragic events of accidentally drowning while swimming in the river made Cai Zhenhua's parents cherish this only son even more, and decided to let him receive systematic table tennis training.
After only a year of hard training, Cai Zhenhua, who was only 7 years old, emerged in the Wuxi Children's Group Competition and won the championship with amazing strength. This exceptional talent and relentless effort quickly caught the attention of the coaches, who did not hesitate to recommend the young player to various international competitions.
By the time Cai Zhenhua was 17 years old, he had become an indispensable top player in the national team, winning one world championship after another. At that time, he was in the prime of his youth, heroic and sassy, whether in singles, doubles or team competitions, he won almost all the laurels of important tournaments and won endless honors for the motherland.
It is with the profound skills and outstanding talent accumulated over the years that Cai Zhenhua has successfully shaped the brilliant achievements of the "World Champion". Just as he was about to say goodbye to his career as an athlete and prepare to transform into a coach, he unexpectedly met his first love, who was also destined to accompany him through the ups and downs of life and spend a good time with him - Huang Sheng.
For Cai Zhenhua and Huang Sheng at that time, their love faced a severe test. Huang Sheng, a well-known actor from the capital's Beijing Hongqi Yue Opera Troupe, is only one year older than Cai Zhenhua, the leader of the Chinese table tennis team.
The acquaintance of the two originated from the matchmaking of a mutual friend.
On the occasion of their first acquaintance, the interaction between Cai Zhenhua and Huang Sheng was quite tacit, and the whole atmosphere was filled with a cheerful and happy atmosphere. However, as time passed, when Huang Sheng learned of Cai Zhenhua's remarkable reputation from a friend, she suddenly felt a heavy pressure like never before.
This famous table tennis player from the beautiful south troubled Huang Sheng, who was already devoting himself to the art of Yue Opera.
Huang Sheng knows that if he chooses to accompany Cai Zhenhua, it means giving up the comfortable life he once had. At this crucial moment, Cai Zhenhua sensitively sensed the subtle change in Huang Sheng's attitude, so he immediately expressed his sincere feelings to Huang Sheng to dispel the doubts in her heart.
Cai Zhenhua patiently explained to Huang Sheng that his love for table tennis does not stem from the pursuit of fame and fortune, but from the fiery passion in his heart. This sincere confession finally knocked on the door of Huang Sheng's heart, so that her heart had already flown to Cai Zhenhua.
However, just as the two were about to enter the palace of marriage, they encountered a difficult problem that put them in a difficult situation. The two young people, both of whom were working in the capital, had already begun to plan their wedding, but at this moment, Ms. Huang Sheng unexpectedly learned that her Beijing Hongqi Yue Opera Troupe was about to move to the bustling city of Shanghai.
This undoubtedly put Huang Sheng in a dilemma, because she really couldn't let go of her beloved Yue Opera performance career. If she were to follow the troupe to Shanghai, she and Mr. Cai Zhenhua would have to face a long separation, and they might even have to wait a long time to get together once.
In the fierce collision of love and career, Ms. Huang Sheng finally made a difficult choice, she decided to stay in Beijing with her beloved, Mr. Cai Zhenhua. This decision undoubtedly made Huang Sheng pay a huge sacrifice, but she still firmly chose to walk side by side with Cai Zhenhua.
Leaving the familiar living environment of Beijing, Cai Zhenhua and Huang Sheng embarked on a new journey to Italy, starting a new journey full of unknowns.
In a well-known sports club on the Adriatic Peninsula, Cai Zhenhua served as a coach, and quickly won the respect and praise of the students with his excellent professionalism and rigorous and serious work attitude.
During this period, the tempting high salary allowed Cai Zhenhua and Huang Sheng to create a comfortable nest full of love on this magnificent and colorful island. The two who once spent the wind and rain together in the humble fighting room have finally ushered in this precious place that belongs to them.
Whenever Cai Zhenhua chooses to step out of the door to look for sunshine in addition to the harsh work pressure, Huang Sheng will silently deal with all kinds of tedious affairs at home, so that Cai Zhenhua does not have the slightest concern When Cai Zhenhua is tired and spends a full day, the moment he steps into the house with joy, the two people are always as deep as Haiti clasping hands, strolling on the beautiful and charming beach shore, savoring the beautiful scenery of the red sky before nightfall, and enjoying the sweet time that only belongs to them.
At this moment, Huang Sheng, who was waiting in the corridor, could not suppress the pain in his heart, and tears continued to slide down his face like pearls. The doctor told her that Cai Zhenhua needed to receive daily injections after recovery, but the couple in a foreign country had no one to rely on, and this heavy responsibility naturally fell on Huang Sheng's shoulders.
In order to be able to inject her husband more accurately, Huang Sheng often stabbed her arm with the tip of a needle alone without anyone noticing, and practiced countless times repeatedly.
After countless attempts, she finally mastered the technique and quickly became a nurse who was able to skillfully inject the drugs Cai Zhenhua needed.
At this difficult moment, Huang Sheng unexpectedly found out that he was pregnant. This good news undoubtedly brought endless joy to Cai Zhenhua, and he made the decision to return to China without hesitation.
Unfortunately, at that time, the mainland's sports industry was in the early stage of development, and the logistical support measures for coaches were still relatively lagging behind. Although Huang Sheng is pregnant with Liujia and has difficulty moving, the General Administration of Sports of China can only provide Cai Zhenhua with a single dormitory of only 15 square meters.
This small space was already cramped, and now with the addition of a double bed, it is difficult to find even a place to put a desk.
In such a difficult environment, Cai Zhenhua has to sweat on the court with the players every day, and he can't spare more time to spend with his wife. And Huang Sheng, who is accustomed to loneliness, has to be careful in his daily life and be diligent and thrifty.
However, even in the face of such an embarrassing situation, the loving couple still kept their vows to each other and always stood together to tide over the difficulties.
In the end, under the guidance of Cai Zhenhua, the Chinese table tennis team returned with honors, and its brilliant achievements and glory proved that all the efforts and sacrifices that Huang Sheng had made were worth it! Their marriage became even more brilliant and became a good story among the famous figures of table tennis.
At the same time, with their perseverance and indomitable spirit, they have become a model and example for the Chinese table tennis community and even the general public.
