On this sunny and vibrant morning, Zhang Xiaocheng sat firmly in the study, his eyes on the lush garden outside the window, his thoughts couldn't help but come quietly with the memories of the past, and his eyes flashed with irrepressible affection.
He seemed to travel back in time and space to the distant 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the moment when he first met Wu Minxia, a diving athlete who was ordinary on the surface but extremely resolute on the inside, as a commentator.
Although Wu Minxia only won the honor of runner-up at that time, her tenacious fighting spirit and never-say-die spirit on the field deeply shocked Zhang Xiaocheng.
As a veteran commentator, he has read countless people, but rarely meets an athlete as shocking as Wu Minxia, she is like a dazzling pearl, shining in the dark environment, blooming with a unique light.
From that moment on, Zhang Xiaocheng was determined to fully support and inspire this brave girl. Even though she only won the runner-up at that time and was under the pressure of doubts from the outside world, Zhang Xiaocheng was full of high admiration and deep admiration for her in his heart.
He is convinced that as long as Wu Minxia can stick to this spirit of hard work, one day she will make the world re-examine her value.
Zhang Xiaocheng's thoughts then drifted to the good times when he met and fell in love with Wu Minxia and entered the marriage hall. He recalled Wu Minxia's thoughtful act of taking the initiative to moderate her diet in order to reduce his financial burden, and she always carefully selected some simple vegetarian food and snacks at that time, lest she add a burden to Zhang Xiaocheng, who was new to the workplace.
Whenever he thinks of these, Zhang Xiaocheng will always be deeply moved and burst into tears.
And when he recalled Wu Minxia's decision to postpone her marriage in order to pursue her Olympic dream, he was even more moved. As an ordinary person, it is difficult for him to fully understand a professional athlete's unwavering dedication to his dreams, but he chose to support his wife wholeheartedly, standing silently behind her, and expressing his deep affection for her with practical actions.
Now, they have gone through the ups and downs hand in hand, and together they have ushered in a happy married life and lively and lovely children, but all happiness is hard-won, which makes Zhang Xiaocheng cherish the good times in front of him even more.
Whenever he thinks of the countless hardships his wife has endured in the past, he will deeply miss God's favor, and at the same time, he will strengthen his determination to defend this happiness to the death until the end of his life.
Tracing back to Wu Minxia's upbringing, we can see that for a diver, her natural physical characteristics undoubtedly pose a major natural obstacle.
The protruding hip bones make her body shape significantly different from that of ordinary people, which makes it difficult for her to show the graceful movement lines of ordinary people during the competition.
However, it is precisely this innate "defect" that shapes Wu Minxia's tenacious quality of perseverance and never give up. Since she was a child, she has always endured doubts and accusations from the outside world.
When people saw her size, they had doubts about whether she would be able to make achievements in the field of diving in the future, and even directly derogated her to be called the "second millennium".
For ordinary people, such verbal attacks may have been enough to break their will. However, Wu Minxia has shown remarkable perseverance, and she has turned these doubts into a powerful motivation for her to move forward.
Whenever she heard these words, her heart swelled not with anger or frustration, but with a burning fighting spirit. She silently vowed that no matter what the cost, she would definitely fight back with practical actions in the strongest possible way.
So, in the midst of everyone's doubts, Wu Minxia climbed to the top step by step. In her 16-year career, she has put in a level of hard work that ordinary people can't imagine.
On the training ground, she always gives her best and puts her heart and soul into it until she is exhausted. Even during her breaks, her mind revolves around how to improve the details of her movements, how to achieve greater breakthroughs, and her exploration of technique never ends.
In this way, in the midst of doubts from the outside world and her own perseverance, Wu Minxia finally succeeded in creating the highest glory in her life at the 2016 Rio Olympics - becoming the first legendary figure in Chinese history to win five Olympic gold medals, realizing her long-standing grand wish and winning endless glory for the motherland.
The realization of this dream is not only due to Wu Minxia's unremitting personal struggle, but also inseparable from the encouragement and support of her relatives and friends.
There is no doubt that Zhang Xiaocheng was the key person who gave Wu Minxia unparalleled support and encouragement! Since the day they first met, Zhang Xiaocheng has been deeply infected by Wu Minxia's indomitable willpower and has been overwhelmed by it.
No matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles he encountered, Zhang Xiaocheng always stood up and helped Wu Minxia restore her firm belief and rekindle her passion for struggle with incomparable enthusiastic encouragement and deep comfort.
Because of this, Wu Minxia, with the full support of Zhang Xiaocheng, gradually moved towards the peak of her ideals.
It is worth mentioning that this year (that is, 2012), the legend of the sports world, Wu Minxia's best friend Guo Jingjing, held an unprecedented wedding.
However, there was a hilarious anecdote at this wedding, when Guo Jingjing tried to introduce her brother-in-law Huo Qishan to Wu Minxia, hoping that the two could get married.
As the noble son of the Huo family, who is worth more than 10 billion, Huo Qishan is undoubtedly the object that many women dream of and rush to chase. He is not only personable and talented, but he can be called a model for high-quality single youth.
However, to everyone's expectations, in the face of the young master of the Huo family's family arrangement, Wu Minxia was not moved. She politely and resolutely rejected the marriage of this billionaire family, and the reason was extremely simple - she already had a place in her heart, that is, Zhang Xiaocheng.
This move shocked everyone at the scene. After all, Zhang Xiaocheng was just a young man who had just entered the workplace at that time, and compared with the prominent family status of the Huo family, the gap between the two was like a moat.
According to common sense, an ordinary person can hardly be compared to the wealthy Kota. However, what Wu Minxia cherishes is not Zhang Xiaocheng's wealth and status, but his consistent affection and care for herself.
It is precisely because of Zhang Xiaocheng's strong backing that Wu Minxia was able to devote herself to the sports career she loves and bravely pursue her own Olympic dream.
Whenever she faced setbacks and difficulties, Zhang Xiaocheng would always appear by her side without hesitation, injecting endless strength into her with sincere encouragement and care.
This kind of spiritual pillar is far better than fame and fortune, which makes Wu Minxia full of gratitude to Zhang Xiaocheng.
When faced with Guo Jingjing's puzzled eyes, Wu Minxia just smiled faintly. In her firm pupils, Zhang Xiaocheng occupies an incomparably precious weight in her life! Many people may regret that Wu Minxia missed the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, but in her heart, this choice is full of wonderful meaning.
For a woman who is brave enough to pursue her dreams, sincere and plain emotions are more precious than material abundance.
At that major turning point in 2017, Zhang Xiaocheng and Wu Minxia entered the palace of marriage, thus opening a new chapter in their lives. However, the arrival of this beautiful moment was won by them after a long wait and hard work.
Once, in order to realize the Olympic dream, Wu Minxia resolutely decided to postpone her wedding with Zhang Xiaocheng. She said to her lover with great hope: "Can you wait for me for another four years?
In the face of his wife's firm belief, Zhang Xiaocheng did not hesitate to give full support, in his opinion, his wife's career and dreams are the most important, and everything else is worth waiting for.
It is with Zhang Xiaocheng's meticulous understanding and support that Wu Minxia was able to successfully participate in the 2016 Rio Olympics and won the highest honor in her life with her perseverance and fighting spirit.
The realization of this dream is undoubtedly inseparable from Zhang Xiaocheng's silent efforts behind the scenes, and when the dream came true, they walked hand in hand towards a new journey of life.
After getting married, Wu Minxia germinated the idea of transforming into a video blogger, hoping to share her sports experience and life insights. However, she was at a loss for this new field.
So, Zhang Xiaocheng stepped forward, after learning relevant knowledge by himself, he personally built a studio for his wife, debugged equipment, and provided all-round technical guidance, under his careful care, Wu Minxia finally succeeded in creating a new career of her own.
In family life, Zhang Xiaocheng dutifully plays the role of a gentle and considerate husband and a loving father. In order to allow his wife to devote himself to entrepreneurship, he took on many trivial tasks such as cooking, housework, and taking care of children.
Sometimes it was late at night when he returned home, but he was still enthusiastic about sharing his experiences and interesting stories with his wife, and the couple was immersed in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Whenever the children were too young to understand their mother's glory as a top athlete, he always patiently and vividly told them about their mother's glorious past, and taught them to follow their mother's example and pursue their dreams.
Zhang Xiaocheng perfectly interpreted the profound connotation of the three words "knowledgeable, pleasant, and teased" with practical actions, while Wu Minxia conveyed a positive attitude towards life in a unique way.
She often shares practical knowledge about weight loss and body shaping, parent-child interaction, etc. in her personal video account, which has won the love and respect of the majority of netizens, and seeing his wife's career thriving, Zhang Xiaocheng's heart is full of joy and pride, making the relationship between the two more and more deep and harmonious.
Although Wu Minxia politely declined the marriage arrangement of the wealthy Huo family in her early years, the happy life she enjoys now is no less than that of her friend Guo Jingjing, who married into a wealthy family back then.
In the field of career, although Wu Minxia has been retired for many years, her video account business is still thriving, attracting many die-hard fans, she often shares her valuable experience in the video, such as weight loss and body shaping cheats, parent-child interaction skills, etc., which has been warmly sought after by the majority of netizens, and the success of this career is inseparable from the full support of her beloved Zhang Xiaocheng.
Whenever Wu Minxia encounters technical problems, Zhang Xiaocheng will always provide solutions immediately, and whenever she feels lost and confused about a new link, Zhang Xiaocheng will also patiently and meticulously guide her to help her continue to improve and grow.
It is precisely because of such selfless help from her lover that Wu Minxia can move forward firmly on the new career journey and give full play to her talents and advantages.
In family life, Zhang Xiaocheng is even more conscientious to play the role of a virtuous husband and a loving father. In order to let his wife devote himself to his career, he took on all the tedious tasks such as housework, cooking food, and taking care of the children, and never let Wu Minxia do any work.
Even when he returns home late at night, he still enthusiastically shares his daily news with his wife, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
When she stared at her husband's eyes full of love and understanding, as well as the elegant temperament exuded from him, Wu Minxia's heart was full of happiness and security.
She often lamented that it was really a wise move for her to reject the well-arranged marriage contract of the Huo family's wealthy family, if it weren't for this, I am afraid that she would miss out on such a good partner who cherishes and cherishes her so deeply.
The affectionate kindness and sweet happiness shared by Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng today are not inferior to the scenery of Guo Jingjing when she stepped into a wealthy family in gorgeous clothes in the past.
It is precisely because of the sincere and deep love between the two parties that their lives can be so full and beautiful, which has attracted the envy of countless netizens.
