The love story between Guo Bin and Wang Nan originated from a lively restaurant. At that time, Wang Nan was already a shining star on the international stage, winning many championship titles, but Guo Bin was just an unknown business person who admired the talented table tennis player.
When they first met, Guo Bin did not hide his inner feelings, bravely expressed his admiration to Wang Nan, and sincerely invited her to become his partner in life. However, Wang Nan was greatly surprised by these warm words, and she rejected Guo Bin in a serious tone, "Please don't bother me again!" After speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Guo Bin standing alone.
Despite the setback of his initial confession, Guo Bin was not discouraged. Instead, he embarked on a path of enduring and determined pursuit. Guo Bin paid close attention to Wang Nan's family background and living habits, eager to gain an in-depth understanding of the goddess in his mind.
Despite repeated rejections, he always adhered to his original intention, and his sincere love and perseverance finally moved Wang Nan and made her agree to become Guo Bin's girlfriend.
However, the road to a happy marriage is not smooth. Wang Nan's parents were wary of the once divorced businessman, who was eight years older than their daughter, and firmly opposed their daughter's association with him. Fortunately, Guo Bin's humble and polite words and deeds and meticulous care for Wang Nan finally won their recognition and blessings.
When Wang Nan went to Weihai with the national team for training, a sudden accident forced her to urgently summon her parents. It turned out that her rhinitis had suddenly worsened and she had to undergo surgery. This incident also provided an opportunity for Wang Nan's parents to meet Guo Bin for the first time. What is surprising is that Guo Bin's mature and stable temperament and meticulous care for his daughter quickly eliminated the concerns of the two old people.
Since then, they have been rejoicing in the son-in-law-to-be.
For Wang Nan, her career is full of twists and turns. During this period, Guo Bin was always by her side and became her strongest backing.
At the 2002 Busan Asian Games, Wang Nan experienced a low point in her life, losing two games in a row in the women's team finals, and the Chinese team lost to the North Korean team, and she personally suffered huge public opinion pressure.
The pain of defeat made her want to leave the arena for a while. At that time, after her husband Guo Bin, who was far away from home, learned of this, he did not hesitate to rush from all over the world to Busan, and together with his brother Liu Guoliang, he carefully planned a surprise, full of anticipation to wake up his wife who was in deep despair, hoping that she could regain that self-confidence.
Sure enough, under the encouragement and comfort of Guo Bin's deep bone marrow, Wang Nan gradually got rid of the shadow in her heart, and quickly became a sensation at the World Table Tennis Championships the following year, successfully winning the championship of women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, once again proving her strong strength to the world.
Two years later, at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Wang Nan was eliminated by Singapore's Li Jiawei in the first round of women's singles, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow and made Wang Nan's emotions fall to the freezing point. However, Guo Bin was still by her side as usual, patiently giving her comfort and encouragement, and injecting her with the courage to overcome difficulties.
It is precisely because of Guo Bin's encouragement and guidance, and the truth that "if you lose your horse, you don't know if you are blessed", Wang Nan was able to regain her strength and win the gold medal for the country with teammate Zhang Yining in the subsequent women's doubles competition.
It can be said that whenever Wang Nan faces a low point in her career, Guo Bin can always appear by her side at the right time, and continue to support and inspire his wife with practical actions and affectionate words. For example, during the 2005 World Table Tennis Championships in Shanghai, although Wang Nan failed to reach the women's singles final, Guo Bin still specially purchased a full 10,001 roses and publicly presented them to his wife on the court to witness and celebrate her outstanding performance on the court.
This gesture full of warmth moved Wang Nan to tears and deeply felt the love from her husband.
Only 47 days after marriage, Wang Nan experienced dizziness, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms one after another. Although they didn't receive enough attention at first, the symptoms quickly became so severe that they almost made people collapse.
Guo Bin, who learned of his wife's health condition, knew it in his heart and immediately arranged for Wang Nan to undergo a comprehensive physical examination. However, the diagnosis ruthlessly announced: Wang Nan unfortunately suffered from thyroid cancer, and his condition was very serious, and he needed to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, hitting the husband and wife hard. The grand wedding, originally planned for December, had to be postponed and replaced by the gloom of the operation. Although the doctor said that his condition was still optimistic, Guo Bin was still worried, for fear that if he neglected, it would become irreparable regret.
For the sake of his wife's physical and mental health, he has always silently restrained the grief in his heart, his face is always full of smiles and incomparable optimism, and he strives to comfort and inspire Wang Nan. During this time, he gave her meticulous care and attention.
Whenever Wang Nan showed even a slight expression of pain due to the pain caused by the disease, Guo Bin would always hold her hand without hesitation and whisper the phrase "everything will be fine" in her ear, giving her endless strength and confidence.
On the day of the operation, when he saw his wife fall asleep peacefully under the effect of anesthetic drugs, Guo Bin's heart was full of helplessness and fear. He sat alone on a bench outside the operating room, clasped hands tightly and silently praying that everything would go smoothly.
After hours of waiting, the doctor finally walked out with an ecstatic smile and declared the operation a complete success. Hearing the news, Guo Bin was relieved, tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and he secretly vowed that from now on, he would cherish and love his wife even more.
After the operation, Wang Nan had two drainage tubes inserted into his neck, and he was completely unable to take care of himself, so he could only lie on the bed and recuperate. For her, who has always been strong and independent, this is undoubtedly a great torture.
However, in order not to worry his wife, Guo Bin held back his tears and comforted her in an optimistic tone, telling her that as long as she actively underwent treatment, the day of recovery was ahead.
Once, in order to allow Wang Nan to better absorb oxygen, Guo Bin actually held up the oxygen cylinder with both hands for four hours, until his arm was covered with deep and shallow blood marks. In the face of his family's doubts, Guo Bin still firmly said that even if he already knew about Wang Nan's condition, he would still be more eager to spend the rest of his life with her.
These affectionate words still moved Wang Nan to this day.
After countless hardships, Wang Nan finally recovered his health and was able to leave the hospital to begin final preparations for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Although she needs to take medication for a long time during the recovery process, Guo Bin warmly reminds her to take the medicine on time every day by phone, and even delivers the medicine to her home in person to ensure that his wife's physical condition remains stable.
With the love of her family and the full support of her husband, Wang Nan survived the most difficult moment of her life and once again showed her peak style in the Beijing Olympic Games.
This Olympic Games has become the last important competition in Wang Nan's career.
In the grand and tense women's singles final, table tennis star Wang Nan faced his friend and fellow national team player Zhang Yining in a fierce competition, but despite going all out, he still couldn't resist the strong strength of the other party and missed the individual championship.
However, Wang Nan was not discouraged, but showed extraordinary perseverance and perseverance in the next women's team finals, successfully led the Chinese team to win the championship, and won a precious gold medal for the motherland!
This hard-won women's team gold medal is undoubtedly the best interpretation of Wang Nan's career, and it is also the highest praise for all the efforts she put in during her treatment for a serious illness. After the game, Wang Nan solemnly announced his retirement from the professional arena and dedicated his 28-year-old youth to a new stage of life.
So far, Wang Nan has won a total of 24 world championship medals, including 6 precious gold medals won after being diagnosed with cancer. She became the first athlete in the history of Chinese women's table tennis to achieve a Grand Slam feat, and also won the most world championship titles for any female athlete in contemporary Chinese sports.
All these brilliant achievements are inseparable from the selfless support of her husband Guo Bin behind the scenes. As Wang Nan's family said, Guo Bin cared for his wife meticulously and went all out to support her to win glory for the country for the last time, even though he knew that it meant the pain of the coming parting.
However, their great love and warm family will forever be engraved in this brilliant achievement and become an eternal legend.
