1. As we all know, the prince of gymnastics, who swept the world at the Los Angeles Olympics, fell into the abyss of life just a few years later?!
In 1984, at the age of 25, Li Ning won three championships in floor exercise, rings and pommel horse at the Los Angeles Olympics with his outstanding athletic talent and perseverance, as well as two silver medals in vault and men's team and bronze medal in individual all-around.
This young man, who once went all out in the gymnastics arena, finally shined in the face of heavy pressure and severe challenges, and was awarded the honor of "Olympic Man of the Year".
However, just as Li Ning returned to China with a full load of honors, his beloved wife Chen Yongyan also announced her retirement and started a new life journey. As a "gymnastics princess", Chen Yongyan has extraordinary athletic talent and unwavering perseverance, and during her long gymnastics career, she has repeatedly achieved great results in major events such as the Hartford International Gymnastics Invitational and the Asian Games, and has become the center of attention.
At that time, the two were in the prime of their youth, as close as a couple in love.
That year, Li Ning made a series of low-level mistakes in the rings and pommel horse events, failed to win any gold medals, and had to return empty-handed. It was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the erstwhile prince of gymnastics.
After the game, Li Ning hid in the corner alone in shame and wept, suffering serious physical and mental trauma.
Chen Yongyan, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, couldn't hide the pain in her heart after learning the news. As a confidant, friend and dear wife for many years, she deeply understands Li Ning's ardent dedication and love for gymnastics.
At this moment, how longing is she to be able to fly back to China immediately to bring her husband the deepest comfort and encouragement? However, in a foreign country, she could only cry silently and could not do anything.
Second, the bitterness of being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers can only be deeply understood by them. Despite the hardships of life, they still believe in the existence of true love.
Although they have a successful career, it is not easy for Li Ning and Chen Yongyan to live separately from the two countries for a long time. As professional athletes, they are used to sweating on the arena.
However, the wandering life in a foreign country has brought them unprecedented challenges.
Ms. Chen Yongyan, a legendary figure who founded a gymnastics academy in the United States, always remembers her lover in China, Mr. Li Ning, and always can't help but immerse herself in a deep sadness.
As the former "gymnastics princess", she knows her husband's incomparable enthusiasm and focus on gymnastics, and understands the deep introverted and shy personality of him.
In China, Mr. Li Ning is also often caught up in endless thoughts about his wife. Although he is busy running his own sporting goods company during the day, when night falls, he can't help but think of his wife who is far away across the ocean.
Faced with the reality of being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Li Ning can only wait patiently, firmly believing that one day they will be able to reunite again.
Just when the relationship between the two fell into a trough, the defeat of the 1988 Seoul Olympics was like a heavy hammer, knocking Li Ning down completely. After the competition, he was not only subjected to fierce criticism from sports enthusiasts, but also received extreme items such as ropes and blades, and endured unspeakable mental pressure.
When Chen Yongyan learned the bad news, her heart was filled with extreme pain. She knew that this was undoubtedly a heavy blow to her husband. So, without hesitation, she decided to sell the gymnastics academy in the United States and return to her home country with her son to accompany her husband during this difficult time.
In the face of his wife's deep affection and firm determination, Li Ning was deeply moved. Yes, even in a foreign country, his wife always silently cared for him in her own unique way. Since then, he has made up his mind to repay Chen Yongyan's deep affection with double love, and respond to her selfless dedication with practical actions.
In the third part, in order to give her husband a new family support, this 44-year-old woman did not hesitate to risk her life and gave birth to the crystallization of their love - daughter.
The tragic defeat at the Seoul Olympics brought great trauma to Li Ning. As an exceptional athlete, he couldn't accept his poor performance on the field.
For a period of time after the competition, Li Ning often fell into a melancholy mood, and even had the idea of quitting the sports world for a while.
When Chen Yongyan witnessed this situation, she had mixed feelings in her heart and was full of emotion. She deeply understands her husband's obsession and love for gymnastics, and this defeat is like a bolt from the blue for him, and it is extremely painful.
As his wife, she always looks forward to giving Li Ning new vitality and confidence to help him rekindle his enthusiasm for life.
In the face of his wife's unswerving faith, Li Ning was full of emotion and emotion. As a conscientious mother, Chen Yongyan has given everything she has. However, now that she has entered middle age and is pregnant again, the doctors have tried hard to persuade her many times, lest it will bring an unbearable weight to her body.
However, in order to give her husband a new family support, Chen Yongyan still chose to persevere.
During pregnancy, Chen Yongyan suffered from morning sickness and was physically and mentally exhausted. Whenever he saw his wife's painful expression, Li Ning's heart hurt like a knife. He swore to himself that he would do everything in his power to take care of this strong woman.
Finally, in 2006, Chen Yongyan successfully gave birth to a lively and lovely daughter, named Li Xiaoyan. It was undoubtedly an arduous journey for the 44-year-old mother.
However, she never regretted it, because her original intention was to give her husband new family strength.
Looking at his wife and newborn daughter, Li Ning's heart was full of gratitude and touch. Yes, the wife perfectly interprets the true meaning of the word "partner" with practical actions. From this moment on, he is determined to give Chen Yongyan more care, do everything to repay her efforts, and create a happy family life together.
Fourth, in 1990, they worked together to create their own business, and in 1993 entered the palace of marriage.
After going through those difficult and difficult years, Li Ning made up his mind to find a new purpose and direction for himself. In 1990, he founded his own sporting goods company in Sanshui, Guangdong, looking to make a big splash in this new field.
For Chen Yongyan, her husband's decision is undoubtedly a source of joy for her. After years of affection, she knows Li Ning's character traits - integrity, bravery, and tenacity, and she will never bow to difficulties easily.
With the company's new platform, I believe that Li Ning's enthusiasm for the cause will be re-energized.
Therefore, Chen Yongyan did not hesitate to devote herself to her husband's career and devoted herself to the operation and management of the company. At first, the company's operations struggled due to a lack of funds.
However, Chen Yongyan's extraordinary management talent and Li Ning's excellent product innovation concept made the company quickly embark on the road of normalcy!
At this critical moment, Li Jingwei, who has always been a firm supporter of Li Ning, generously donated and injected a huge amount of 16 million yuan into the company's rapid development. With the injection of this fund, Li Ning and Chen Yongyan's careers have ushered in a new breakthrough.
After a long period of mutual support, the two always join hands in the face of challenges, and have a deeper understanding and love for each other. Finally in 1993, Li Ning and Chen Yongyan walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand, from close friends to dependent partners, and jointly opened a new chapter in their lives.
In fact, Chen Yongyan once had a trace of anxiety about marriage. She is worried that the two will run the company together, and there will inevitably be disagreements and even conflicts, which will affect the marital relationship.
However, after a long run-in, these doubts gradually dissipated.
After getting married, they worked together to tide over the difficulties together, and interpreted the true meaning of "husband and wife are concentric, and their profits are golden" with practical actions. In the early days of the business, Chen Yongyan went all out to devote herself to the operation of the company, and cared for her husband even more, becoming the most solid backing of Li Ning.
In the fifth part, in 2004, Chen Yongyan devoted herself to her husband's career, and the two went hand in hand to create a sports brand worth up to 11 billion yuan.
After many years of marriage, Li Ning and Chen Yongyan finally tasted the sweet fruits of their careers. The company's development is like a bamboo, and the scale is growing day by day. However, just as her career was booming, Chen Yongyan began to face a dilemma.
As a mother, she has the responsibility to take care of her young son, Li Xiaoning; And as a working woman, she aspires to make a difference in her career. Therefore, whenever night falls, Chen Yongyan always thinks alone about whether she should devote herself to her husband's career.
It wasn't until 2004 that when her son Li Xiaoning successfully entered kindergarten, Chen Yongyan finally made up her mind to devote all her energy to her husband's career. Years of housewife career have given her a new understanding and understanding of business management.
Since then, Chen Yongyan seems to have a new look, and she devotes herself to her busy work every day. With her excellent leadership skills and solid management skills, she quickly rose to become the core force of the company.
In the field of product innovation, Li Ning's talent has been vividly displayed!
It is precisely because of this that the two couples have a tacit understanding, like the best partners, working together to create brilliance. Li Ning focuses on product innovation, while Chen Yongyan focuses on business management, and the combination of the two is a match made in heaven, so that the overall strength can be maximized.
Their joint dedication and efforts have made Li Ning's career flourish. By 2020, the cumulative total assets of the Li Ning sports brand have reached an astonishing 11 billion yuan, firmly standing in the leading position in the domestic sportswear industry.
Their success depends on their tacit cooperation. Without Li Ning's unique product concept or Chen Yongyan's extraordinary management skills, how could such remarkable results be achieved? As the old saying goes: "Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken".
Sixth, the children and grandchildren are full, and the husband and wife respect each other like guests. Their love and old age together today are a model in people's hearts.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the children of Li Ning and Chen Yongyan have grown up and established their own happy families. In 2022, the eldest son Li Xiaoning will enter the university hall, and the second daughter Li Xiaoyan will also start her middle school career.
The family was happy, and the children and grandchildren were around their knees, which made the couple feel very relieved and proud.
As a wealthy family with a successful career, Li Ning and Chen Yongyan's lives are naturally rich and worry-free. However, it is admirable that this model couple has never lost themselves in material luxury, but has cherished each other's company more and cared for their family more than ever.
Whenever he invited guests and friends, Li Ning always did not hesitate to invite his wife Chen Yongyan to accompany him. In the laughter, they often held hands, shoulder to shoulder, and the intimate gesture made the guests present envious.
Li Ning's thoughtfulness and care for his wife also made Chen Yongyan full of respect for her husband.
Even when he went out alone, Li Ning never had any lace news. This devotion to his wife is enough to prove that his commitment and responsibility to the family have never wavered.
In response, Chen Yongyan also showed the role of an excellent wife and a great mother.
When dealing with her elderly father-in-law, Chen Yongyan's meticulous care and care are even more impeccable. She always visits frequently and cares. Such respect for the elderly and filial piety made the father-in-law admire, and also won the deep love and cherishment of the husband.
There is no doubt that it is precisely because of this mutual understanding and love that Mr. Li Ning and Ms. Chen Yongyan have been able to work together over the years and become a noble model couple.
Their bits and pieces will be engraved in the long scroll of history and become a model of happy marriage in the minds of countless people.
