At the glorious 2019 Wuhan Military Games, the heavyweight event in China's sports world attracted the eager attention of countless athletes and spectators.
At the scene of the gymnastics competition, a middle-aged man in a military uniform gradually approached, his figure was slightly rickety, his face looked pale and weak, his eyes were hollow, and the whole person looked exhausted.
Xiao Qin waved his hand lightly to the audience in his shy way, and the corners of his mouth barely squeezed out a faint smile, but this smile was full of endless exhaustion and helplessness.
His eyes were dark, as if he had not yet completely shaken off the dark memories of those years ago, and he was still struggling with painful pain.
Compared with the youthful and energetic orthodox image at the Beijing Olympics eight years ago, Xiao Qin is now like two people. Gone is the gymnastics hero who sweated, was confident and gold-winning in his hometown, replaced by an exhausted, eclipsed face.
The cruel tricks of fate threw this proud son of heaven from the peak to the bottom in an instant, allowing him to taste the ups and downs of life behind the flowers, applause and glory.
Xiao Qin's life can be described as full of twists and turns, deep in the whirlpool of various gossip, and the loss of everything, which makes people sigh and sigh, and can't help but feel the sadness of the hero's twilight.
In December 2013, the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court handed down a shocking verdict: Wang Yuan was sentenced to life imprisonment on suspicion of a major fraud case, while her accomplice Zhu Shuangshuang was sentenced to eight years in prison.
The verdict is undoubtedly the legal sanction that the parties deserve, but at the same time, it also dealt a devastating blow to the former gymnastics hero Xiao Qin.
Although throughout the trial, there was no direct evidence that Xiao Qin was involved in fraudulent activities. However, a large number of bank statements and financial records have closely linked him to the scam.
Moreover, how could he be unaware of the fact that he had been indulging in a luxurious life provided by Wang Yuan for a long time, enjoying money from unknown sources?
For a time, the artillery fire of public opinion hit like a storm, completely drowning Xiao Qin. Friends and relatives have avoided him, and his former teammates have stayed away from him, fearing that they will be implicated by him and infamous on their backs.
Although his parents have repeatedly made statements in the media in an attempt to defend their son in order to show the world that Shochin is innocent, in the face of such a large amount of embezzlement and the bizarre extent of the whole thing, Shochin is no longer the innocent person in the eyes of outsiders.
The voice of slander was like a turbulent wave, Xiao Qin was almost on the verge of collapse under the impact of the torrent of public opinion, and even lost the firm courage that was originally full of glory.
In the end, he reluctantly chose to say goodbye to his athletic career and voluntarily leave the world that made him feel ashamed and questioned, like evaporating from the world, just to escape the heavy pressure.
He was supposed to have a bright future, but the reality was that he went from being a sports hero to being despised by everyone, and the price he paid was too great.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics was undoubtedly a major turning point and a glorious pinnacle in Xiao Qin's life. As the host of the home game, all eyes are on him and his team-mates, expecting them to show their extraordinary quality on their home turf.
As expected, Xiao Qin, who is only 23 years old, fought side by side with outstanding players such as Yang Wei, Chen Yibing, Li Xiaopeng, and Zou Kai, and jointly created the most shining "diamond generation" in the history of the Chinese men's gymnastics team.
On the field, they were brave and fearless, like war horses, and their skills were exquisite, winning seven gold medals in eight men's events in one fell swoop, creating an astonishing result.
In particular, Shochin excelled in his best pommel horse sport. I saw that he first gently patted the magnesium carbonate powder with both hands, and then grasped the iron ring of the pommel horse, officially opening the prelude to his invincible heroic posture.
He rotates 25 consecutive turns on both sides in a flawless Thomas full-spin position, as if time were moving precisely on a clock. He then performed a series of jaw-droppingly difficult moves, and when his last move ended perfectly and his feet landed steadily, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, which was the supreme praise of this outstanding athlete.
This match not only allowed Xiao Qin to achieve his dream of a Grand Slam, but also witnessed his glorious moment of transformation from an ordinary teenager to a gymnastics hero.
However, behind this brilliance, there is hidden the hard work of his youth, day after day, day and night, as well as countless sweat and tears.
Looking back on the past, when he relied on his indestructible willpower to overcome the disease, bravely overcome difficulties, and finally climbed to the highest peak in the sports world! Looking back on the past today, it is really hard to imagine that this proud son of heaven was once the ordinary boy who insisted on swaying his youth on the training ground and cherished his simple love.
On January 12, 1985, an ordinary working family ushered in a new life - Xiao Qin. His birth brought endless laughter and hope to this ordinary family, and the whole family was busy preparing all kinds of things for the newborn baby, as if to use this happiness to drive away the bitter cold of Nanjing winter.
From an early age, Xiao Qin showed an extraordinary sense of energy and balance, standing out from his peers and showing extraordinary talent. In 1990, when the sports school recruited students on a large scale, Coach Zhu Wenyuan discovered him at a glance among the many testers, and Xiao Qin embarked on a new path of life.
From the moment he stepped into the sports school, Xiao Qin completely bid farewell to the carefree of ordinary children. After school, when the other children can still play to their heart's content, he must return to the sports school on time to receive rigorous training, with only half a day of rest per week, and even winter and summer vacations can only enjoy a short vacation of only three days at most.
Again and again, his classmates were ruthlessly eliminated one by one.
Faced with such a difficult situation for the child, the parents are in deep pain, should they let him continue to fight alone on this path? However, in the end, they firmly chose to support the child, let him find a balance between flexibility and strength, and gradually grow up in the days of sweat and tears.
After nearly ten years of hard work, Xiao Qin successfully joined the national gymnastics team in 1999 and opened a new chapter in his life. Those calloused hands and weather-beaten bodies will surely shine one day in the future, composing a legendary story of gymnastics heroes.
On October 15, 2008, Xing Aowei, a hero in the gymnastics world, held a grand wedding in Beijing. As teammates, Xiao Qin was naturally invited to attend to witness the beautiful moment when the couple talked to each other and spent the rest of their lives together.
At the scene, a peerless woman instantly attracted his attention - she was Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan was born in 1981, and her parents were ordinary salarymen. Although her family was not well-off, she was fortunate enough to receive higher education and went to Ireland for further study.
Wang Yuan, who successfully completed her studies, decisively chose to marry Wang Sheng, the national team star at the time, and lived a comfortable and comfortable life like a crane in idle clouds and wild cranes.
Wang Sheng's stable income of up to 150,000 yuan per month, coupled with a generous bonus of one million at the end of the year, undoubtedly makes Wang Yuan a full-time wife in the true sense.
Her bold personality made her unstingy in social situations, often buying luxury gifts and limousines at jaw-dropping prices, so that those present were convinced of her status.
However, this is just a gorgeous cloak she has created for this orchestrated scam. Soon after they met, Wang Yuan took the initiative to show Xiao Qin her gentle and considerate side, and quickly captured the heart of this innocent athlete.
The two began to date frequently and talk about life, and Xiao Qin poured out his affection for her unreservedly, and soon fell into a sweet love.
However, Wang Yuan saw the great attraction of money from Xiao Qin, and in order to please him, she decided to use her accumulated network resources to launch a fraud plan against the gymnastics world.
Soon after, Xiao Qin fell into her elaborate trap and began to live a life of extravagance, indulging in the double temptations of love and materialism, unaware that he had fallen into a scam.
Although there was no conclusive evidence of Xiao Qin's involvement in Wang Yuan's fraud throughout the trial, his career and achievements were devastated.
A large number of bank statements and financial records have linked him to the scam, and the attacks of public opinion have completely drowned him out like a torrential rain.
Although his parents did their best to defend their son and try to clear his name, it was difficult for the outside world to believe that he was unaware of the fraud in the face of such a large amount of fraud and bizarre incidents.
What's more, he has been indulging in luxury for a long time, which inevitably arouses suspicion. Friends and relatives took refuge, and his former teammates shunned him, lest they be implicated in the whirlpool of infamy.
Condemnations came and went, and Xiao Qin was tortured by the accusations in the sky, and gradually lost the courage and fighting spirit to survive. In the end, he reluctantly chose to retire, took the initiative to stay away from the game, and completely disappeared from the public eye, as if the world had evaporated, just to escape the shame and doubt.
Through the vicissitudes of life, this star, who was once regarded as a hero and a star full of honors in the world of gymnastics, has given almost the most precious thing in his life with his dedication and dedication in his career.
Today's Xiao Qin can only spend ordinary days as an ordinary coach, and the glory and glory of the past are gone, leaving only endless regrets and feelings.
Looking back on the past, we can't help but sigh that those glorious years will eventually become history, and even the most shining heroes cannot escape the ruthless destruction of time, and finally go to the twilight of life.
