Preamble:
Have you ever seen such an athlete who shines on the sports field and creates one brilliant record after another; But in life, she has experienced countless ups and downs in the emotional world.
For Wang Junxia, it seems that God is destined to make her hover between glory and misery repeatedly.
Is this her destined fate? Let us walk into her legendary life together to appreciate the unique personality charm and tenacious life of this "Oriental Divine Deer".
The Jedi rebirth of the Marathon Maiden
Jilin, a city known as the "hometown of ice and snow in Northeast China", once gave birth to a bright sports pearl - Wang Junxia.
Born in the 70s of the last century, her fate seems to have been closely linked to poverty from the beginning.
The embarrassment of her family made Wang Junxia realize that life was not easy since she was a child, but she contained a tenacity that refused to admit defeat.
Movement magically changed the trajectory of Wang Junxia's life.
At the age of 18, coach Ma Junren broke into her life like a "nobleman" and opened the door to Wang Junxia's career.
Ma Junren's patient and meticulous guidance made the girl quickly show amazing athletic talent, especially in long-distance running.
In 1993, 20-year-old Wang Junxia made her debut in long-distance running and won the marathon championship with a bang.
This is just the beginning of her life's glorious journey.
In June of the same year, she not only won the women's 10,000-meter championship at the National Track and Field Championships, but also set a new Asian record.
A few months later, in the 10,000-meter final of the World Athletics Championships in Stuttgart, Wang Junxia once again performed a miracle, breaking the competition record and reaching the top of the world.
In this way, a girl who struggled on the edge of poverty wrote an immortal legend with tenacious struggle.
Parting of ways at the peak
The journey of a career has not been easy.
In 1993, Wang Junxia and her mentor Ma Junren ushered in an unbearable disagreement.
As a cultivator of Olympic champions, Ma Junren is extremely strict with athletes, and his training methods of scolding at every turn have attracted public criticism from Wang Junxia and others.
As a result, the once united "Ma Jiajun" fell into a crisis of fragmentation.
For a time, Wang Junxia became the target of public opinion.
Many media speculated that all this may stem from the unfair distribution of bonuses.
The pressure and doubts followed, but Wang Junxia was not crushed.
At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, she won the silver medal in the 10,000m and the gold medal in the 5,000m.
This is China's first Olympic gold medal in track and field long-distance running, and it also highlights Wang Junxia's extraordinary ability at the peak.
However, just when people thought that Wang Junxia would gallop on the sports journey for a longer time, she suddenly announced her retirement.
This decision undoubtedly came as a surprise and disappointment to everyone.
It wasn't until years later that the outside world learned the reason for the conspiracy behind the retirement.
Retirement clouds and fog of the emotional world
In 2016, the famous general Zhao Yu first disclosed a shocking story of "Ma Jiajun" in an interview - a doping scandal.
She also published a letter jointly signed by Wang Junxia and others to report Ma Junren, questioning the coach's use of improper means.
This is undoubtedly the root cause of the predicament of the "Oriental Divine Deer".
Wang Junxia once revealed that after winning the championship, she was not applauded and flowers, but was retaliated by the head coach for "being retired".
The treatment has plummeted, and even if it is promised that it will solve the problem, it will end up in nothing.
Under the heavy cloud of oppression and threat, Wang Junxia had no choice but to retire and end her career.
In this way, a once dazzling sports pearl was taken away in advance by the dirtiness and darkness of reality.
But the ups and downs of life are far more than that, in the world of feelings, Wang Junxia has also walked a tortuous and winding road.
Her first marriage preceded the Olympic victory, and the union with footballer Zhan Yu is undoubtedly a good story of a pair of sports families.
After marriage, Wang Junxia gave birth to her son Zhan Yibo, and everything seemed to be full of hope.
However, due to the separation of work and the subtle run-in of life, the sports couple finally chose to separate and break up peacefully.
Later, Wang Junxia met her second husband, Huang Tianwen, an artistically Chinese American with a master's degree in music.
The married life of the two was full of romance and freshness at first, and Wang Junxia also gave birth to a lovely daughter for Huang Tianwen.
However, life after marriage is not all smooth sailing.
Huang Tianwen is extremely controlling, and does not allow Wang Junxia to appear in public too much.
This forced the former world champion to confine himself to his home, like an ordinary housewife.
The different cultural backgrounds have deepened the estrangement and misunderstanding between the couple.
Despite Wang Junxia's efforts to maintain it, in the end, in 2015, the marriage ended in divorce.
Online Romance regains happiness
After two failed marriages, Wang Junxia once lost confidence in life, and even decided to stay away from emotional turmoil and live a lonely life.
However, the gloom will eventually be dispelled by the sun, and happiness will one day come as promised, it is only a matter of time.
This belated happiness unexpectedly found her.
It all started with an ordinary online relationship.
At the beginning, Wang Junxia only met Li Huiyang online under the pseudonym "Wang Xi".
The two met late in the virtual online world, and soon opened their hearts to each other in the dialogue and exchange, deepened their understanding, and the topic also talked about each other's inner world from the bits and pieces of life.
Even though she is no longer the young and simple girl she was back then, full of longing for love, Li Huiyang is obviously deeply attracted by Wang Junxia's unique inner intelligence and character, and has a strong interest.
After learning her true identity, Li Huiyang resolutely flew to the United States to warm this woman who had been hurt with sincere friendship and sincerity.
Under Li Huiyang's sincere care, Wang Junxia gradually regained her confidence and hope in life.
Although it was not all smooth sailing along the way, and the two once fell into financial and life difficulties, Li Huiyang's selfless dedication and affectionate care finally touched her heart.
In this way, more than 30 years later, Wang Junxia once again stepped into the palace of marriage, tied the knot with Li Huiyang, and stepped into the next new journey of her life.
Life in a foreign country is far more difficult than imagined, but the two finally survived the difficulties with each other's support and encouragement, and they are closer to each other and cherish each other.
Now, they have given birth to their own children, and Wang Junxia also treats the children born from the previous two marriages equally and lives a happy big family life.
It's really good to see that Wang Junxia has finally found her own world and found relatives who can get along with her.
Return to China for development and regain its glorious style
It wasn't until the children grew up that Wang Junxia began to re-examine her career in athletics.
In 2019, she returned to her homeland and was hired as the president of the Dalian Athletics Association.
This is undoubtedly a recognition of her outstanding contributions, and it also gives Wang Junxia a broader space for development.
Since then, she has often appeared on sports-related TV shows, telling the audience about her legendary sports experience.
Although she is over half a hundred years old, Wang Junxia's eyes are still shining, as if she has regained her enthusiasm for competing in the arena back then.
She smiled and talked about the bits and pieces of this life, showing a real and three-dimensional image of the "Oriental Divine Deer".
Needless to say, those brilliant achievements are more vividly outlined by the vicissitudes of the emotional world.
From an athletic girl who desperately wants to be loved and cared for, to a mature woman who finally goes through several marriages to finally be happy, she has shown extraordinary tenacity and courage.
Epilogue:
Some people call Wang Junxia a "legend", and some people regard her as an "inspirational idol".
But it is undeniable that this girl, who was once shrouded in poverty, wrote a legendary life with tenacious struggle.
Brilliant athletic achievements are only a strong stroke of her wonderful life, and the hundreds of turns and turns in the emotional world reflect the unique resilience of women.
From the domineering and dazzling "Oriental Divine Deer" to the virtuous atmosphere of his wife and mother, from being questioned and hurt to finally regaining his belief in happiness, Wang Junxia has deduced extraordinary chapters of life in her own way.
This is the truly fascinating and deserving legend of life.
