1. Retired star Li Na's current living situation and the story behind it - dedicated to you who galloped brilliantly on the tennis court!
Time has passed, and the much-anticipated and admired tennis superstar Li Na has been away from the court for many years. However, although her career has come to an end, her life is becoming more and more warm and sweet. Today, Li Na and her husband Jiang Shan spend time together and live a happy married life, which is enviable.
Looking back on the past, Li Na's unique and distinctive personality, sharp and dazzling light, and vigorous posture on the tennis court are deeply imprinted in our hearts, and she is known as the "Golden Flower of Chinese Women's Tennis". Today, she has added a little gentleness and grace, and devotes herself to ordinary and happy family life.
However, there is one thing that makes the outside world feel a little confused: Li Na never directly called Jiang Shan's parents "parents", but respectfully called them "uncle and aunt".
For this seemingly estranged family relationship, Li Na seems to have her own understanding. She is known for her value for family life, and although she and Jiang Shan are not good at cooking, they enjoy it and often go out to buy food to satisfy their appetites.
It is such a free and easy attitude to life that shows Li Na's great cherishment of a happy marriage.
After retiring, Li Na did not indulge in the glory of the past, but actively devoted herself to public welfare. During her pregnancy, she bravely stood up and called on the whole society to pay attention to the rights and interests of pregnant women, hoping that this special group could receive more love and respect.
It can be said that Li Na interprets the sense of social responsibility and value pursuit that an excellent athlete should have with practical actions.
2. Reminisce about Li Na's youth when she chased her dreams - those years, the days when she sweated on the tennis court!
To understand Li Na today, we have to look back on her youth when she chased her tennis dream. Li Na was born into a family of sportsmen, and her father was a retired national athlete. Under the influence of her father, Li Na has been bathed in the atmosphere of sports since she was a child.
Perhaps out of respect for his daughter's nature and choices, Li's father finally agreed to her request. Soon after, Li Na began pestering her father, eager to learn tennis, a sport that his father was very familiar with and loved.
Seeing his daughter's enthusiasm and dedication to tennis, his father was very pleased and did his best to give Li Na the most professional guidance.
As expected, under the careful cultivation of her father, Li Na quickly showed excellent tennis talent. In 1996, she was spotted by the Hubei Provincial Tennis Team and became a member of the team.
At this time, she met the first mentor in her life, Coach Yu Liqiao. The talented coach poured his heart and soul into Li Na's tennis skills, which allowed her skills to improve by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, Li Na took an important step in her career, representing her country in the international arena.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Just as Li Na's career was just beginning, a heavy blow struck like a thunderbolt from the clear sky - her father died of illness, and she didn't even get to see his father for the last time. This undoubtedly became the saddest moment of Li Na's life, as she was mired in endless pain and self-blame, and once lost her confidence and courage to compete. However, Lady Luck favored her again, and during this difficult time, she met the second noble person in her life - Jiang Shan.
3. The mother's remarriage causes family alienation
The source of Li Na's estrangement from her in-laws can be traced back to her dissatisfaction with her mother. Soon after her father's death, Li Na's mother couldn't wait to take her to remarry someone else. Faced with her mother's "treacherous" behavior, Li Na was full of confusion and incomprehension.
In Li Na's mind, her mother's betrayal of her father is tantamount to desecration of love. The mother was able to forget the deep affection between her father and her father so easily, and the longing for her deceased husband was like a passing cloud. As her father's most beloved daughter, Li Na could not forgive her mother for this "betrayal".
Therefore, the relationship between the mother and daughter is like a torn wound, gradually drifting apart. This estrangement also invisibly affected Li Na's attitude towards her in-laws. Although everyone in the Jiang family is generous and kind, Li Na has never been able to see them as close as relatives.
She is well aware of what her biological mother did after her father's death, so she is wary of her so-called "stepparents". Li Na didn't mean to hurt the Jiang family, but she couldn't find a reason to fully respect them. In the end, she chose a detached and polite way of getting along, neither intimate nor cold, but just maintained basic etiquette.
Fourth, depict a realistic and happy life
After retiring, Li Na did not rest on her laurels. Instead, she turned her attention to public welfare, hoping to use her influence to deliver more positive energy to the society.
At that meaningful moment in 2015, with the expectation of the child, Li Na bravely stood up and was about to give birth, and enthusiastically participated in the "Light of Life" large-scale public welfare activity of pregnant women jointly launched by the China Children and Teenagers' Fund and the Mother and Child Platform, becoming a part of this feast, shouldering the important responsibility of the image ambassador of the event, and issuing an affectionate call to all sectors of society, hoping that the whole society can give more attention and respect to this special group of pregnant women.
In fact, Li Na's enthusiasm for public welfare and charity has long been deeply imprinted in her heart. As early as 2003, a hopeful year, she was honored to attend the opening ceremony of the "Guangai School" organized by the China Social Welfare Foundation, and generously donated money to fund the tuition fees of 10 poor students, so that they could receive free education.
There is no doubt that Li Na not only sweated on the field and wrote a brilliant chapter in her life, but also perfectly interpreted the sense of social responsibility and life pursuit that an outstanding athlete should have with practical actions.
Despite her career success, Li Na has never forgotten the importance of family life. After retiring, she poured most of her heart and soul into her marriage to Jiang Shan. The couple are affectionate and affectionate, and although neither of them is a master cook, they are considerate and tolerant of each other, and live a free and easy life.
It is precisely because of her deep understanding and tolerance of Li Na that the Jiang family has never objected to her calling her in-laws "uncle and aunt". Instead, they treat Li Na as if she were their own daughter, and only hope that the young couple can be happy and spend the rest of their lives together.
Fifth, enlightened in-laws resolve contradictions
Regarding the estranged relationship between Li Na and her in-laws, many people are puzzled by this. According to the traditional concept, marriage means taking on the responsibility of filial piety to the in-laws and treating them as relatives. However, Jiang Shan's parents showed an incomparably broad mind and endless tolerance.
They are well aware of Li Na's ups and downs in her childhood, and they fully understand her behavioral choices. As elders, the last thing they want to see is that their new daughter-in-law is estranged and alienated from them.
More importantly, they hope that Li Na and Jiang Shan can be loving, harmonious and happy.
Therefore, the Jiang family has never been angry about Li Na's alienating behavior. In their opinion, what really matters is not what Li Na is called, but that the young couple can live happily and well-being together.
5. Build a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship with understanding and tolerance
A mutual understanding and tolerance between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is established, and although their relationship may seem slightly distant, this does not prevent them from living together amicably.
6. Comprehensively analyze Li Na's spiritual qualities
By reviewing the twists and turns of Li Na's life, we can clearly understand her incomparably strong enterprising spirit and indomitable perseverance. On the field, her unyielding tenacity and talent have led her to compete in 21 finals in her career, and have achieved impressive results that have won her country endless glory.
Even after encountering huge setbacks in life, Li Na was never completely defeated by the ruthlessness of fate. The sudden death of her father plunged her into deep grief, however, she soon found solace in the affectionate care of her lover Jiang Shan, rekindled her passion and courage to fight, and firmly moved forward.
There is no doubt that it is Li Na's fighting spirit of fearless and never giving up that has created her outstanding achievements in her career. After retiring, the same spiritual qualities are vividly reflected in her cherishing of her family and her determination to give back to society.
This former athlete interprets the persistent pursuit of a better life and the courage to assume social responsibility with his practical actions.
