Liu Chunhong was born in January 1983 in an ordinary and difficult farming family in Majia Village, Qishan Town, Zhaoyuan City, Yantai City, Shandong Province. According to the family's inheritance rules, she should have had the connotative name "Liu Chunhong", however, as the Chinese New Year approached, the family thought that the name "Chunhong" would bring good luck, so they chose this hopeful name for her.
Since childhood, Liu Chunhong has shown extraordinary vitality and positive personality traits. She worked diligently to assist her parents in her own apple orchard, and in her spare time, she often played in the fields with her brother Liu Chunqiang, and her exquisite side flip skills were the golden key to her sports career.
Despite the difficult family conditions, Liu Chunhong's parents still gave her a beautiful childhood full of love. Despite the scarcity of photographs, she always treasures a rare photo of herself when she was 1 year old, as well as a commemorative photo taken at someone's home when she was 5 years old.
In 1994, Liu Chunhong, who was only 10 years old, was recognized by Guo Bingxun, the coach of Zhaoyuan Sports School, and he sincerely invited her to join the sports school. At first, the family was skeptical about their daughter's career in sports, fearing that it would affect her studies.
However, Coach Guo visited them many times and patiently explained Liu Chunhong's talent and potential to them, and finally succeeded in convincing the whole family.
Although the future is full of unknowns, Liu Chunhong is full of ardent expectations and longing for the road of sports. "Of course I do!" "I'm fearless!" In the face of Coach Guo's question, the young woman responded with such a firm attitude and resolutely embarked on this destined life path.
Since joining the national team, Liu Chunhong's life has been almost occupied by high-intensity training, and the time spent with her parents has become numbered. However, she never complained about the hard work she took, and whenever her parents' birthdays came, she would carefully prepare gifts to express her deep longing.
At the 2002 Busan Asian Games, Liu Chunhong, who was only 19 years old, not only broke the three world records in the clean and jerk, snatch and overall score, but also became famous and became a dark horse star in the international arena.
Two years later, she moved to Athens to compete in the final of the women's 69kg weightlifting category at the 2004 Olympic Games.
Before the competition, the Zhaoyuan City Sports School was already very lively, and the teachers in her hometown carefully prepared tens of thousands of firecracker salutes for Liu Chunhong, and even the courtyard of her small home was surrounded by neighbors and media reporters.
At this historic moment, the little girl who used to be poor in her family and held a long sword has now grown into the great pride of the people of the motherland! When she returned with the honor of her fellow villagers, her shining eyes flowed with unprecedented firm conviction and vitality.
Since then, Liu has dominated many international competitions, winning multiple gold medals in the 69kg category, cementing her unshakable dominance. However, during the crucial cycle of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she had to endure the recurrence of old injuries that had plagued her for a long time.
In order to realize this noble dream, Liu Chunhong endured physical pain and devoted herself to training with all her might. In the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Liu Chunhong's short hair was soaked with sweat and her knees were wrapped in thick bandages, and she not only surpassed the competitors in her class by 31 kg with a total score of 286 kilograms, but also broke the world record six times! Every time she lifted the barbell, she needed to let out a deafening cry to stimulate her last potential.
We often only focus on the glory and brilliance of athletes in the spotlight, but we rarely have a deep understanding of the hardships and hardships they have gone through in the pursuit of their dreams.
For Liu Chunhong, body and life have long become a heavy price for her pursuit of brilliance.
"Forty days before the start of the Olympic Games, I began to undergo a comprehensive lockdown treatment under the guidance of a specialist. Years later, Liu Chunhong recalled. Although she did not disclose the exact drugs she used, we can imagine how much physical and mental stress she was undergoing at the peak of her career.
Even three days before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when the old injury recurred, she could not stop the pace of treatment, so she could only grit her teeth and endure severe pain to step onto the field. Compared to the calm response in Athens four years ago, this final is undoubtedly a serious battle of life and death for her.
Her short hair was soaked with sweat, and the heavy bandages on her knees revealed the scarred layers of her body. Every time she lifts the barbell, Liu Chunhong needs to let out a heart-rending cry to stimulate her last strength.
We often only see the glory and brilliance of athletes in the spotlight, but we rarely have a deep understanding of the hardships and hardships they have gone through in the pursuit of their dreams.
For Liu Chunhong, a famous Chinese female weightlifter, she has long turned her body and life into the cornerstone of her pursuit of brilliant achievements. In the most challenging final section, she didn't give her all and had the last laugh with her opponent's serious mistakes!
However, the moment she stood on the championship podium, her resolute face was covered with exhaustion, and even made people feel a trace of helplessness.
At that moment, the Olympic gold medal undoubtedly became the most glorious glory of her career, and it also symbolized her endless dedication and sacrifice for it. Since then, she will have to suffer from frequent injuries and difficult choices.
The light of glory shone on her, but behind it were tears and pain that ordinary people could not imagine.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow, ruthlessly impacting the three Chinese women's weightlifters who have won numerous honors. Although they have long since retired, this "ban" is like an eternal imprint, which will be deeply engraved in their life course and become a lingering shadow for a lifetime.
For Liu Chunhong, this sudden bad news is like a bolt from the blue. Just when she was immersed in the joy of welcoming a new life, she was supposed to start a new chapter of her life, but she was ruthlessly awakened by reality, and all the glorious past and hard work and sweat were wiped out under a verdict.
The three of them appealed, sought reconsideration, and even submitted written requests for help to the relevant leaders, striving to obtain a fair verdict for themselves. Liu Chunhong even personally visited the leader's office to seek assistance and change the sentence, and received a solemn promise from the leader: "We are convinced of your innocence and believe that this is not your personal fault."
However, in January 2017, the IOC's final verdict was like a basin of cold water, completely extinguishing the hopes of the trio. They officially announced the revocation of the three gold medals won by Liu Chunhong, Cao Lei, and Chen Xiexia at the Beijing Olympics and all their honors.
It was a decisive verdict, and the trio had no way out and could no longer appeal.
This ruling is like a cold and sharp-for-tat, which not only cut away the glory achieved by the three athletes in the same year, but also brought an indelible wound to their inner world.
For Liu Chunhong, the hero who has overcome layers of difficulties with incomparable perseverance, fate is using that ruthless hand to push her to the lowest point in her life.
Looking back on Liu Chunhong's career as an athlete, Ma Wenhui, a famous coach who has coached the Chinese national weightlifting team, has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on his life. He is not only Liu Chunhong's mentor, but also the embodiment of the "father" image that she respects in her heart.
It was Ma Wenhui, who was discerning at the time, who discovered Liu Chunhong's unique physical talent and introduced her from the field of judo to the temple of weightlifting, thus starting her brilliant sports career.
When she stepped into the national team for the first time and her family's financial situation could not afford the training expenses, it was Ma Wenhui and his friends who lent a helping hand and generously enabled her to participate in the trial.
The teacher-student friendship between them is as deep as rivers, lakes and seas, even beyond the ordinary father-daughter relationship. So much so that Liu Chunhong once traveled thousands of miles to Ma Wenhui's hometown to sweep the grave of his late father.
In her heart, this former teacher has already won the respect and love of a "father".
However, at the critical moment of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Ma Wenhui actually made a "treachery" that made everyone jaw-dropping.
In 2008, three of Ma Wenhui's disciples, including Liu Chunhong, Chen Xiexia, Cao Lei, and Liu Chunhong, all tested positive during the Beijing Olympics and were accused of using illegal drugs.
This is tantamount to a sharp knife plunging straight into the chest of Ma Wenhui's most cherished student in the past.
What is even more suffocating is that the former "tutor" has long been aware of the forbidden drugs taken by the students, but instead of stopping them, he encourages them to do whatever it takes for a higher honor.
It was not until after the tragedy that Ma Wenhui fled the scene like a frightened bird, lest he avoid it.
For Liu Chunhong, this is undoubtedly the instant collapse of the "father" idol in her heart, which brought her an unhealable psychological wound and a heavy mental blow. Overnight, she completely lost all trust and admiration for the person she had always regarded as her mentor.
