1. Guo Jingjing's dazzling sports career
Guo Jingjing was born on October 15, 1981 in Baoding, Hebei Province, to an unpretentious railway worker, to an unpretentious railway worker, and to a mother, Fan Yumei, who worked in a film factory before having to leave her job and return home due to market changes.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, when Guo Jingjing was 7 years old, she was fortunate to be selected into the local diving training class and officially embarked on her own sports journey.
Guo Jingjing, who has just emerged, has shown otherworldly talent and perseverance from the beginning. She is open to challenges, she is a great learner, and her technical movements are as fluid as a cloud, which impresses her coaches.
After only 5 years of hard work, in 1996, Guo Jingjing, who was only 12 years old, was honored to join the national diving team and became a rising star of Chinese diving.
In the same year, Guo Jingjing participated in the Atlanta Olympics as a national representative. The young athlete remained calm and could not hide her excitement despite her immaturity, but she was a heroic fighter who made a name for herself and finished fifth in the women's platform event.
Despite failing to win gold, she has already made a big impression on the world.
Four years later, at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the 19-year-old Guo Jingjing was already mature and steady, with superb skills. She was in a league of her own and shone brightly, winning two silver medals in the women's 3m springboard single and double, just one step away from the top podium.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Guo Jingjing finally crossed the last hurdle and successfully won two gold medals in the women's 3-meter springboard single and double! At this moment, she undoubtedly became the leader of the Chinese diving team.
Four years later, at the home stadium in Beijing, Guo Jingjing once again defended the honor of the above two gold medals, and was forever remembered by the world as the supreme honor of the "Queen of Diving".
Along the way, Guo Jingjing has vividly interpreted the extraordinary life process of an ordinary family girl chasing her dreams with her tenacious struggle and outstanding achievements. With her firm will and unremitting efforts, she has realized the ideal of diving, and at the same time, her name has been deeply imprinted in the glorious chapter of sports history.
2. The causes and consequences of Guo Jingjing marrying into a wealthy family
In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Guo Jingjing won two gold medals in one fell swoop and became famous. In October of the same year, her relationship with Huo Qigang, the son of a wealthy Hong Kong family, was unexpectedly exposed, which sparked heated discussions from all walks of life.
At this moment, the online world is full of speculation and doubts. Some people are happy and encouraged by Guo Jingjing, thinking that this originally ordinary woman has finally entered a wealthy family and has a bright future, but some people have pinched a cold sweat for her future, worrying that she will not be able to withstand the heavy shackles of the rules of a wealthy family.
Indeed, the concerns of the outside world are not unfounded, because Guo Jingjing's future mother-in-law, Zhu Lingling, is the best example of this dilemma. Zhu Lingling was born in an ordinary family, and after marrying into the Huo family, she experienced all kinds of hardships in the life of a wealthy family, and finally chose to divorce and leave.
However, what is unexpected is that the relationship between Guo Jingjing and Huo Qigang has been baptized over the years, and it is still the same, and it has not been affected by the doubts of others. Eight years later, on November 11, 2012, the two held an unprecedented wedding in Hong Kong.
The three Hong Kong chief executives, Li Ka-shing, Jackie Chan and other celebrities attended and sent blessings, which is enough to prove how widely the wedding has attracted in Hong Kong society. The once questioned "wealthy bride" finally walked into the church on the red carpet and opened a new chapter in her life.
In the days after marriage, Guo Jingjing was not oppressed by the rules of wealthy families as the outside world feared. On the contrary, her married life is sweet and happy. One son and two daughters, a loving and harmonious husband and wife relationship, a considerate husband Huo Qigang, and a kind and friendly mother-in-law Zhu Lingling, all of which made Guo Jingjing feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction.
Born in poverty since childhood, she once fantasized about what life would be like after marrying into a wealthy family, but life in reality is far better than she imagined. Guo Jingjing is deeply grateful for the favor of fate, and at the same time, she also expresses her heartfelt gratitude to her husband and mother-in-law for their tolerance and understanding, which allows her to find her own happiness and freedom in this seemingly indestructible family.
Zhu Lingling's unique beauty and wisdom have undoubtedly attracted the attention and pursuit of many Hong Kong tycoons. In the enthusiastic pursuit of many wealthy sons, it was Huo Zhenting, the eldest son of the Huo family, who could finally win Zhu Lingling's heart.
In April 1978, Zhu Lingling successfully participated in a popular TV series "Mary Guan Qiqi". At this time, Huo Zhenting fell into a deep love whirlpool when he first met her, and began a passionate and persistent pursuit.
He drove a luxury car every day, personally picked up Zhu Lingling to and from work, presented her with a bouquet of precious roses from far Southeast Asia, and even stationed on the set around the clock, always paying attention to her smile and smile.
Faced with Huo Zhenting's sincere and fiery emotional expression, Zhu Lingling's heart couldn't help but be touched. Although her parents were not optimistic about this marriage at first, under Huo Zhenting's affectionate promises again and again, the Zhu family's parents were finally moved by the sincerity of the future son-in-law and happily agreed to their marriage.
So, on September 25, 1978, Zhu Lingling entered the Huo family, a top wealthy family in Hong Kong, with an elegant and noble attitude, and became the noble lady of the Huo family. This unprecedented wedding attracted widespread attention from all walks of life at that time, and Zhu Lingling herself was immersed in endless happiness.
Soon after marriage, the good news of Zhu Lingling's pregnancy and childbirth quickly spread throughout the city. She has given birth to three handsome and intelligent sons: Huo Qigang, who was born in 1979, Huo Qishan, who was born in 1983, and Huo Qiren, who came to the world in 1988.
For a time, Zhu Lingling became one of the most eye-catching and respected ladies in Hong Kong, winning the envy and admiration of countless people.
However, while enjoying the glory brought by the life of a wealthy family, Zhu Lingling gradually realized that it was difficult for her to adapt to the Huo family's lifestyle and rules.
Born in an ordinary family, she loves freedom, has a free and uninhibited personality, and is keen to pursue personal interests and hobbies. However, after marrying into a wealthy family, Zhu Lingling found herself as if she was trapped in an invisible cage, with nowhere to go, nothing to do, and even breathing became difficult.
The most heart-wrenching thing for Zhu Lingling is that her favorite hobbies such as photography and dancing were ruthlessly banned in the Huo family. As a typical aristocratic lady, she had to rigidly follow all kinds of social etiquette, dress up carefully, frequently participate in various social activities, and accompany her husband Huo Zhenting to go out and go in and out of major public occasions hand in hand.
However, in many male-dominated occasions, Zhu Lingling has never been able to fit in, feeling endless embarrassment and helplessness. Once, the life of a wealthy lady she imagined was full of freedom and superiority, but now she found that it was just a solid cage.
Every detail of life made Zhu Lingling feel uncomfortable. For example, she loves food in the streets and alleys, but the Huo family regards it as an unclean thing and insists on providing it from a five-star hotel;
The most heartbreaking thing for Zhu Lingling is that once she tried to borrow a precious piece of jewelry from her family ancestors to wear, but she was treated as an outsider, and she needed to sign a formal loan contract first, and the contract was impressively printed with the words "damage to compensation".
Faced with this list of borrowed items, Zhu Lingling could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and slammed the jewel on the sofa.
This is not just a matter of being deprived of personal freedom, Zhu Lingling deeply understands that in the Huo family, she is just an outsider, and she does not feel the warmth of the family at all.
The relationship between Zhu Lingling and Huo Zhenting deteriorated day by day, and the two had frequent conflicts, and finally in 2005, Zhu Lingling and Huo Zhenting officially announced their divorce, ending their 27-year married life.
Fifth, Zhu Lingling's escape again
After the divorce, Zhu Lingling was like a bird breaking free from the shackles and regained her freedom. On November 27, 2008, Zhu Lingling and Hong Kong businessman Lo Kangrui entered the palace of marriage again in Singapore.
This time, Zhu Lingling was extremely cautious, and the wedding was held in a low-key manner, and only invited her best friend Ye Qianwen as a bridesmaid to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, as luxurious and extravagant as she was when she married into the Huo family last time.
Luo Kangrui is 10 years older than Zhu Lingling, both of them have experienced failed marriages, and they hate each other late, and they find spiritual solace in each other.
After entering the marriage hall, Ms. Zhu Lingling lived in Luofu and finally truly felt the ease and sweetness brought by married life. In the former Huo Mansion, she was full of all kinds of constraints, unable to go out to play or engage in her favorite activities as she wanted, but when she entered the Luo Mansion, Ms. Zhu Lingling's personality was completely released and she was full of unprecedented vitality!
She began to actively participate in various outdoor activities, such as outings, photography and dance, and enjoyed the beautiful life she had longed for for a long time. Even in terms of shopping and dining, Ms. Zhu Lingling has broken free from the shackles of the past, no longer limited to those high-end luxury brands or restaurants, but has set her sights on the special food stalls and discount malls in the streets and alleys, and experienced the little pleasures of ordinary life.
However, the price behind this freedom is that the family bond between Ms. Zhu Lingling and her three sons has gradually become estranged. Although the sons did not publicly express their blessings for their mother's remarriage, Ms. Zhu Lingling's decision to resolutely choose to divorce undoubtedly left them with deep pain.
Especially for Mr. Huo Qigang, he has witnessed the breakdown of his parents' relationship since he was a child, and he is even more dissatisfied with his mother's decision.
However, Ms. Zhu Lingling did not feel resentment because of this, on the contrary, she has found her own happiness in her new married life, which she is deeply glad of. In contrast, the years of her marriage in Huo Mansion have become a distant nightmare, which is unbearable.
One day, a close friend of Ms. Zhu Lingling kindly invited her to open a fashion clothing store together, and Ms. Zhu Lingling accepted the offer without hesitation. This is exactly the career she dreamed of, but after marrying into Huo Mansion, this dream was ruthlessly stifled.
Now, Ms. Zhu Lingling, who has regained her freedom, is finally able to bravely pursue her ideals and realize the value of life.
