The good news came to the delight of many people. Two outstanding athletes finally joined hands on the road of life and embarked on a new chapter in their lives. The pair of Anhui Olympic champion Deng Linlin and world champion Gu Xuesong have not only achieved great results in their respective professional arenas, but have now become the most important partners in each other's lives. Their love story is like a moving music, singing a beautiful melody of courage, tenacity and companionship.
A beautiful love story was born in a foreign land
Deng Linlin, born in Bozhou, Anhui Province in 1992, has formed an indissoluble bond with gymnastics since childhood. Under the influence of her father and older brother, she has loved the sport since she was a child, and through her unremitting efforts, she entered the Chinese women's gymnastics team in 2003, under the tutelage of famous coaches Xiong Jingbin and Zhang Xia. On Deng Linlin's gymnastics path, perhaps because of her young age and the talent of the Chinese gymnastics team at that time, she did not really show her strength until 2008.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Deng Linlin won the team championship with the Chinese women's gymnastics team, which was also the first time in the history of the Chinese women's gymnastics team to win the Olympic team championship. At the 2009 World Championships, she won the balance beam event. At London 2012, she topped the balance beam again and became a well-deserved Olympic champion. This series of impressive achievements has undoubtedly made Deng Linlin a dazzling star in the gymnastics world.
Another protagonist, Gu Xuesong, was born in Shanghai in 1993, one year younger than Deng Linlin. Although he is slightly inferior to Deng Linlin in terms of results, he also stands out in archery. In 2013, Gu Xuesong entered the national team, and at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, he and his teammates defeated the Korean team in the semi-finals of the archery recurve men's team to advance, and finally won the championship. In the 2015 World Cup in Turkey, Gu Xuesong's Chinese archery team defeated South Korea 5-3 in the final to win the championship. After the 2017 National Games, Gu Xuesong officially retired, and then went to the United States for further study.
For these two athletes, the trajectory of their lives after 2013 has changed greatly. Deng Linlin officially retired in 2013 and then went to Peking University to study, where she went to graduate school. Gu Xuesong also officially retired after the 2017 National Games, and then went to the United States for further study. Perhaps it is because both of them have encountered a new turning point in their respective life paths, and it has also given them a clearer plan and thinking about the direction of future development.
In this way, the young athletes shine on their respective fields, and finally meet in a foreign country, the United States, opening a new chapter in their lives. As the ancients said, "fate is destined, and there is nothing to fear for the rest of your life", and their acquaintance may be the destined result.
A beautiful sister-brother love, born in a foreign land
When Deng Linlin went to California Baptist University in the United States for further study as a member of the General Administration of Sports of China, it was during this time that she and Gu Xuesong became acquainted and acquainted. For both of them, this trip to the United States was undoubtedly an important turning point in their lives. Although they have achieved good results in their respective fields before, at this moment they seem to be looking more for their own direction in life and exploring new development paths.
Perhaps because they are far away from home and live in a foreign country, the two slowly developed a good impression in getting along. Although the age difference is one year, it has a cute sense of "sister and brother love". For two athletes who strive for excellence, it is undoubtedly a lucky thing to be able to find a partner with similar pursuits to themselves after work.
During this time in the United States, Deng Linlin and Gu Xuesong often traveled together to enhance their understanding of each other. Gradually, they find themselves developing a crush on each other, and their relationship grows stronger day by day. Two outstanding young people met in a foreign country and fell in love in a foreign country, which undoubtedly added a bit of romance to this relationship.
Deng Linlin has been studying at Peking University since retiring, and Gu Xuesong also gave up the preferential treatment in Shanghai after retiring and chose to teach at Anhui Normal University. It can be said that the intersection of the two in their careers is also one of the important factors for them to come together. Gathering in a foreign land and accompanying each other in the cause of education must have deepened the understanding and affection between each other.
At the end of 2022, when the two were participating in a variety show, Gu Xuesong finally mustered up the courage to propose to Deng Linlin in front of everyone. This scene is undoubtedly surprising, and it also adds a bit of romance to the love story of this golden boy and girl. The two have walked hand in hand to a new stage of life, which is undoubtedly the best portrayal of their double harvest in career and relationship.

But it is this kind of love that transcends geography and sports that is even more precious and moving.
