On May 14, Olympic champion Li Xuerui came to Chongqing City University of Science and Technology and gave a wonderful lecture to the students of the school's School of Physical Education and Health. In an interview with upstream news reporters, Li Xuerui said that after nearly five years of retirement, she still insists on using fragmented time to make a training plan for herself.
"I am now an associate professor at the School of Physical Education of Chongqing University and deputy secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League. In the lecture, Li Xuerui told the students that in fact, the happiest days in her heart were when she was in the sports school, when there was no pressure on grades and work, and every day was practice, eating and sleeping. ”
Li Xuerui said that she thought about giving up when her career was under the most pressure, but her mother said something at the time that had a deep impact on her, and her mother said: "You have reached the halfway point of the mountain, can you work harder and see the scenery at the top of the mountain, even if it is short-lived, at least you have bloomed." ”
"It's easy to give up, but it's hard to struggle." Li Xuerui used her own experience to encourage students to have the courage to pursue their dreams and be optimistic and self-reliant. The more difficult it is in the process of training, the more you can't give up, and you must face life in the best state when the sun rises every day. Learn to be grateful, because an athlete's achievements do not come only from themselves, but also from the collective results of parents, teachers and peers.
In an interview with upstream news reporters, Li Xuerui said that although it has been nearly five years since she retired, she still insists on using fragmented time to make a training plan for herself. "Training relieves the stress of work and life and keeps me in better sleep and physical condition." Li Xuerui said.
"For those who love badminton, it's never too late to start." Li Xuerui said that it is just necessary to pay attention to learning the correct badminton movements through the right channels, and the future life of badminton will be long, and I hope that everyone can get a healthy body and a better attitude through badminton, and become a "good medicine" for adjusting work and life.
After the lecture, Li Xuerui and the teachers and students of Chongqing City Science and Technology University held a badminton exchange match in the badminton hall. She demonstrated technical moves for the students and patiently corrected the technical details of the students. Students said it was a rare and precious experience to be able to get up close and personal with the Olympic champion.
