She holds 24 world titles, but was diagnosed with cancer just 47 days after her marriage.
The former "big devil" in the sports world became a "weak woman" on the sickbed overnight.
The cruel laws of table tennis failed to eliminate her, but the 16-year fight against cancer made her want to give up for a while.
The seemingly smooth sailing champion life is suffering from illness, if it weren't for her husband's appearance, Wang Nan might have chosen to give up a long time ago.
How did Wang Nan persevere in his 16-year anti-cancer journey? Is her marriage to her husband as happy as it was at the beginning?
One: The rise of talented players
Wang Nan's contact with table tennis originated from an accident, at that time she just felt very happy to play with good friends, you two play, I touch.
Soon Wang Nan became handy with the sport of table tennis, and the little friend opposite didn't catch Wang Nan's ball several times in a row, which made her laugh.
After returning home, Wang Nan excitedly shared this matter with his parents, and while speaking, he was still dancing with his eyebrows in his hands and gesturing the movements of table tennis.
Seeing that their daughter likes table tennis so much, Wang Nan's parents thought about cultivating table tennis as a hobby.
At that time, many parents around sent their children to various interest classes, saying that they wanted to win at the starting line.
But Wang Nan's parents believe that grades are always secondary to their children's happiness and health.
After spending some time in the interest class, Wang Nan's parents were surprised to find that their daughter's talent in table tennis surpassed that of most of her peers.
It just so happens that children at that age have a big heart to play, and Wang Nan is the same, compared to learning those boring cultural knowledge, playing table tennis on the table has a greater attraction for this lively girl.
So the husband and wife decided to send Wang Nan to the sports school after some discussion, and the couple decided to give full play to her greatest advantages according to their daughter's strengths, maybe they can really achieve something in this field in the future.
It turns out that the vision of the husband and wife is indeed very long-term, and the coach is full of praise for her ability after receiving Wang Nan, thinking that Wang Nan is simply a rare table tennis genius.
The training of the sports school is like tickling for Wang Nan, she is like a sleeping lion there, waiting for the moment to be awakened.
Almost everyone in the sports school of the same age is afraid of fighting her, which also creates an illusion for Wang Nan as if he is already "invincible in the world".
But the facts quickly slapped Wang Nan hard.
Wang Nan is a seeded player in the city sports school, and the provincial team will naturally not let go of this good seedling, after watching Wang Nan's game, the Liaoning provincial team quickly included her under his command.
Wang Nan, who had just entered the provincial team, was very arrogant, she thought that her ability had already reached the level that no one could match, so she did not seriously go all out when facing her opponent.
After a game, Wang Nan's performance was simply sparse.
This result instantly made Wang Nan stupid, and at this time she realized that she had been living in her comfort zone, and she had long forgotten that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people.
When he first joined the provincial team, he suffered a loss, which made Wang Nan dare not continue to slack off in every training and game.
But she found that even though she took every game seriously, she still couldn't win over her teammates of the same age on the other side.
For the first time, Wang Nan felt fear and threat in an area he was familiar with.
After feeling the oppression from the strong, Wang Nan didn't dare to slack off like before, and she began to train day and night.
When others train for ten hours, she trains for twelve hours, and when others rest, she chooses to stay and train.
For several months, Wang Nan plunged into the table tennis pile, repeating a large number of exercises day and night.
Since she entered the provincial team, her parents have seen Wang Nan only a handful of times.
On the one hand, the two are proud that their daughter can be recognized by the provincial team, but on the other hand, they also feel sorry for their daughter's days in the provincial team.
Although this kind of day seemed very difficult, Wang Nan soon caught up with the rest of the provincial team and became an ace player.
Since then, it is no longer a distant prospect to enter the national team, and she has successfully entered the ranks of strong players with her own efforts.
After entering the national team, Wang Nan's life seemed to be open, and the title of "Queen of Table Tennis" also followed.
Two: "The Queen of Table Tennis" rises!
The reason why Wang Nan is good in the hearts of the public is not only because of her excellent table tennis skills, but also because she uses her left hand.
I've never seen that athlete actually play with his left hand, catch the ball.
She became the "most special" presence in the team.
But such a special did not affect her strength, on the contrary, because she was used to playing with her left hand since she was a child, which also brought her a certain advantage on the court.
After entering the national team, Wang Nan soon stepped onto the international arena.
In 1994, at the Swedish Open, the opposing player was quickly declared defeated under Wang Nan's fierce attack.
This is the first time in Wang Nan's life that she is so proud, and this competition is a testament to her hard work over the years.
The Swedish Open seemed to press the trigger button on Wang Nan's body, and in every subsequent international event, Wang Nan was like a flood beast, and no one could resist her strong and fierce attacks.
If there is one who can match it, it must be the undefeated goddess Deng Yaping.
In 1997, Wang Nan followed Deng Yaping to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and under the leadership of the eldest sister, the group easily won the team championship.
After that, Wang Nan went all the way forward and directly entered the women's final.
Although she was sharp against each other, she finally lost to Deng Yaping.
But fortunately, Wang Nan has always said in his heart that Deng Yaping is his idol, and losing to his idol is not a shame for Wang Nan.
After Deng Yaping retired, Wang Nan confirmed the title of "Queen of Table Tennis".
In 1998, at the Bangkok Asian Games, Wang Nan crushed all the players with absolute strength and won the honor of being the first in the world.
After that, she won the Sydney Olympic championship one after another and became a legendary female player in the table tennis world in everyone's hearts.
While his career is thriving, Wang Nan's love has also ushered in spring.
It's just that this love is very bumpy, and the life after marriage makes Wang Nan feel anxious.
Three: A bumpy marriage
Wang Nan and Guo Bin met at a dinner when Wang Nan had just won the Sydney Olympic championship.
Guo Bing excused himself to celebrate and asked Liu Guoliang to invite all the national table tennis players to have dinner and celebrate.
At that time, everyone thought that this was just a simple dinner, but Guo Bin had already secretly promised Wang Nan in one event after another.
This dinner is just hoping to get acquainted with Wang Nan through Liu Guoliang's relationship.
Although the two briefly met at the dinner table and added contact information, Guo Bin never mustered up the courage to go further.
The relationship between the two has been so deadlocked, and Wang Nan didn't know that Guo Bin was actually interested in him at that time.
A week later, Wang Nan used the excuse that he was coming to Beijing on a business trip and wanted to invite Wang Nan to have a meal by the way.
Wang Nan heard that people came from afar, so he was embarrassed to refuse, so he went to the appointment.
Because there was only each other at this dinner, the two talked happily with each other, and this was also the first time Wang Nan really got to know Guo Bin.
After this dinner, the two people's favorability towards each other rose, and Guo Bin also felt the change in Wang Nan's attitude towards him.
So he struck while the iron was hot and confessed to his favorite goddess.
Wang Nan, who had already secretly agreed, agreed to Guo Bin, and the two were in love very happily, Guo Bin was not only humorous, but also very distressed.
In this relationship, Wang Nan felt unprecedented happiness and happiness.
But this relationship soon ushered in the first hurdle, and Wang Nan's parents were not optimistic about this man who was more than ten years older than their daughter.
Wang Nan wanted to introduce Guo Bin to his parents several times, but both of them refused for various reasons, and even secretly hoped that their daughter could end the relationship.
Even if he couldn't get the blessing of his parents, Wang Nan still chose to continue to persevere.
Facts have proved that Wang Nan's persistence is correct, and in 2001, Wang Nan is participating in a training camp to prepare for the next event.
But during training, her rhinitis suddenly recurred, which seriously affected her performance.
The doctor's advice is that it is best to control the rhinitis surgically so that it can minimize the impact on the game.
In order not to affect the normal progress of the event, Wang Nan accepted the doctor's advice.
Guo Bin was with his girlfriend almost the whole time during the operation, and it was precisely because of this illness that Guo Bin finally had the opportunity to meet the second elder in the competition.
After this period of getting along, the second elder gradually found that this man who was more than ten years older than his daughter was not useless, he was both gentle and considerate, and he also knew how to take care of Wang Nan's emotions.
After a short time together, the two gradually let go of their prejudices, and soon after being discharged from the hospital, Wang Nan successfully participated in the competition and won the championship again.
In 2005, Wang Nan suffered a career trough, and Wang Nan lost for the first time at the World Table Tennis Championships, missing the championship.
After learning the news, Wang Bin sent 10,001 roses as soon as possible, announcing to the world that Wang Nan will always be one in a million in his heart no matter what!
Wang Nan was very moved by this love, and the two registered their marriage in the same year.
thought that after a few years of love between the two, their marriage would be happy.
But no one expected that sometimes the accident came very suddenly.
Four: Unfortunately suffering from cancer, my husband will never give up
Only 47 days after the two got married, Wang Nan was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
This news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wang Nan, she can't imagine that she has just been newly married, and her career is still in the most glorious period, what kind of suffering this disease will bring to her life.
Wang Nan was afraid that because of her illness, her husband would divorce her.
But it turned out that she was wrong, Guo Bin not only did not give up this relationship because of this, but took into account Wang Nan's physical problems at the first time and persuaded her to retire.
But Wang Nan is very persistent in his career, so Guo Bin can only choose to accompany his wife for active treatment.
In 2008, Wang Nan's health deteriorated, and he finally had to retire.
At that time, Wang Nan had already won 24 gold medals, although she was reluctant to give up on the battlefield, but the overload of her body made her have to start paying attention to it.
After leaving the table tennis arena, Guo Bin took care of his wife's body wholeheartedly.
In fact, Guo Bin has always wanted a child in his heart, but considering his wife's physical reasons, Guo Bin never dared to speak.
A few years later, Wang Nan's condition finally stabilized. At this time, the two also ushered in good news, Wang Nan was pregnant.
Guo Bin was happy and worried, on the one hand, he was looking forward to the arrival of the child, but at the same time, he was also very worried about his wife's health.
But fortunately, the doctor said that the child was very healthy, and Wang Nan's body would not be affected, so a year later, the two ushered in a white and chubby eldest son.
Wang Nan has also been actively taking medicine and treatment over the years, and the lives of the two are not much different from ordinary people.
A few years later, the two gave birth to a lovely little daughter.
Over the years, Wang Nan's body has recovered greatly under the care of her husband, and the marriage between the two has become sweeter and sweeter.
Although the hardships on the road to treatment once made Wang Nan want to give up her life, fortunately, her husband has always been by her side.
Now both husband and wife have their own careers and a pair of lovely children.
For Wang Nan, perhaps this ordinary day is the greatest happiness. After this life, it is enough to be able to get this beloved!
