On April 29, a news about badminton star Chen Long sharing his love story with his wife Wang Shixian on social media attracted widespread attention. This pair of golden boys and girls in the feather arena used their love story to show us a past full of sweetness and memories.
Chen Long joked on social media: "This is the combination of charm and strength, Mr. Wang is the best-looking, and I am also the most handsome, right? These words can't help but remind people of the good times when the two first met. Chen Long revealed that he and Wang Shixian had known each other as early as 2002 and 2003, when they were just new stars in the badminton world, participating in various competitions together and growing together.
Recalling the scene when he confessed, Chen Long said: "I am quite impressed, in fact, we knew each other early, and then until 07 and 08 years, we went to the Asian Youth Championships and the World Youth Championships together, and when we were in the second team in 08 years, during the Chinese New Year, everyone may already have that feeling for each other, and then I said, 'I like you', and Mr. Wang also agreed to me very happily." "This confessional story is simple, but it is full of sincere emotions. At that time, the two were still young, and it was the time of youth and enthusiasm, and their love for each other was already overflowing.
Wang Shixian also revealed in a show that Chen Long once placed a bouquet of flowers and a note with "I like you" downstairs in her dormitory in order to pursue her. This simple and direct way of confession, although it seems a bit old-fashioned now, was enough to move Wang Shixian's heart at the time. She said that when she saw Chen Long's confession, she felt very happy and moved in her heart, and felt that this was the love she had been looking forward to.
As time passed, the relationship between the two grew deeper. They have been through many ups and downs together, facing the pressure and challenges of the competition together. With each other in their company, they gradually became the best in the badminton world. Chen Long won the men's singles gold medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics, while Wang Shixian also won glory for the country in a number of international competitions. Their love story has also become a good story in the feather world.
However, success always comes with dedication and sacrifice. Chen Long chose to retire in the prime of his career, and Wang Shixian also announced his farewell to the competition in 2017. Their decision to retire has left many fans feeling sorry, but it has also bought them more time to run their own families and lives.
Now, Chen Long and Wang Shixian have entered the palace of marriage and become a happy couple. With their own efforts and dedication, they have written a love story full of sweetness and memories. Their love story not only makes people feel the beauty of love, but also sets an example for young badminton players.
Looking back on the sweet past of this pair of golden boys and girls in the badminton world, we can't help but rejoice in their happiness. May their love always be as sweet as ever, and they will spend every beautiful moment of their lives together.
