Let's take a look at Wang Liqin's life journey, re-savor the glorious achievements of this sports hero, and at the same time gain an in-depth understanding of the ups and downs he experienced in his emotional world.
When Wang Liqin is mentioned, people will naturally think of his brilliant achievements in table tennis. As a legend in the Chinese table tennis world, he has won countless honors for the motherland.
Let's start with a look back at the last leg of Wang's career, 2013. At that time, at the age of 35, he announced his retirement and officially bid farewell to his career as an athlete. Despite his victories in many major tournaments, he has been missing an Olympic gold medal in men's singles to prove himself.
Back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the whole country had high hopes for Wang Liqin, expecting him to create miracles in the competition at home. However, in the end, he was unable to achieve this wish, and lost in the semi-finals, once again missing out on his dream of Olympic gold.
Looking further back, at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Wang Liqin was so close to his dream. He made it all the way to the semi-finals, but he made an unexpected mistake at a crucial moment and missed the perfect opportunity to win the title, so he had to leave the field with a bronze medal.
At the beginning of the new century, Wang Liqin did win the men's doubles championship with teammate Yan Sen at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. However, his love and dedication to singles has always been deep in his heart and has become the driving force behind his dream.
Despite not winning the highest honour in the men's singles competition at the Olympic Games, Wang Liqin's performance in many international competitions has been flawless and tried repeatedly. As early as 1995, he won the national junior championship; He went on to win gold and silver medals at major events such as the Asian Championships, the Asian Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, especially in 1999, when he even reached the top of the world rankings.
There is no doubt that Wang Liqin's table tennis career is magnificent, but failing to win the Olympic gold medal has undoubtedly become the regret of his life.
In addition to his outstanding performance in table tennis, Wang Liqin's personal emotional life is also full of drama and twists and turns. Let's start with a good time in his life.
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Wang Liqin and teammate Yan Sen won the gold medal in the men's doubles event, and the whole country cheered for their victory. At this special moment, an unprecedented celebration banquet came into being.
In this celebration, a beautiful and moving woman with bright eyes and bright teeth attracted the attention of the audience, she was Zhao Wei, the hot film and television superstar at that time.
Zhao Wei's big eyes that shimmered like stars instantly captured Wang Liqin's heart. As an outstanding athlete, Wang Liqin has always maintained a calm and calm attitude, but in the face of this goddess who has fallen into the city, he can't help but feel ripples in his heart.
As time passed, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and eventually a romantic relationship was established. However, when this "good story" was made public, a wave of heated discussions and doubts was immediately set off on the Internet, as if to destroy their love.
An even heavier blow came from Wang Liqin's parents. They made it clear that they could not accept Zhao Wei to join the Wang family, believing that the star status did not match their son. Under the pressure of this internal and external difficulties, Zhao Wei was finally overwhelmed and chose to end her relationship with Wang Liqin by text message, drawing a regrettable end to this short and beautiful story.
Since breaking up with Zhao Wei, Wang Liqin's love life has been like a racket on the table tennis court, unpredictable and erratic. In 2010, he had a half-year-long relationship with the well-known host Liu Yanchi, but it failed to achieve a positive result after all.
In the years since, he has also had a delicate relationship with the well-known dance artist Zhao Tingting, but it ended in regret.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, in 2014, Wang Liqin, who is close to the age of confusion, met Liu Jia, a young decoration designer who is only 25 years old. The first time they met, the two were like old friends reunited, quickly fell in love, and finally walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
To this day, their married life is still full of sweetness and happiness, and they have given birth to two lively and lovely baby children.
Today's Wang Liqin has become a leader in the domestic table tennis industry and is known as a "big man" level figure. After retiring, he has always adhered to important leadership positions in the field of sports, and now he has been awarded the prestigious position of vice chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.
There is no doubt that the former sports legend has once again reached the pinnacle of his career on a new stage of life.
In addition to his busy work, Wang Liqin enjoys a happy family life. His wife Liu Jia was once his die-hard "fan", and now she is his right-hand man and soul mate.
They looked at each other affectionately and loved each other, creating a warm and sweet family atmosphere together.
It is worth mentioning that at a certain stage after marriage, Liu Jia actually incarnated as Wang Liqin's "black fan". She often shares some "sloppy" photos of Wang Liqin on social platforms, and even publicly shows the private chat records of the two, revealing Wang Liqin's overly frugal lifestyle, which has aroused heated discussions and ridicule among many netizens.
However, after this turmoil, Liu Jia devoted herself to taking care of her two lovely children, and rarely appeared on the Internet again. It can be seen that she is undoubtedly a virtuous and kind good wife and mother.
Today's Wang Liqin, while having a successful career, also has a happy family life, which can be called a winner in life.
Looking back on Wang Liqin's life process, it is not difficult for us to find that his life is full of twists and turns. In the field of table tennis, he has achieved remarkable achievements.
With the dream of table tennis since childhood, after the hard work of his youth, Wang Liqin soon revealed his extraordinary talent and potential. In 1995, at the age of 17, he won the national youth championship, and since then, he has won gold medals and medals in many top international competitions such as the Asian Championships and the World Table Tennis Championships, and in 1999, he was once ranked No. 1 in the world.
However, it is a pity that although the great athlete Wang Liqin has created countless glorious historical records in his extraordinary sports career, he has never been able to win the Olympic men's singles gold medal, which symbolizes the highest glory! From Athens 2004 to Beijing 2008, this exceptional athlete made it to the semi-finals on several occasions, but missed out on Olympic gold medals twice.
Every time we look back on this situation, we can't help but ask, is this a mockery of fate, or a constraint of our own strength?
In the journey of love, Wang Liqin also tasted the ups and downs of life. His first love object was the famous actor Zhao Wei, who was in full swing at the time, and the two spent several sweet times, but finally chose to part ways because of doubts from the outside world.
Since then, he has also had emotional entanglements with dancer Zhao Tingting and well-known host Liu Yanchi, but they have failed to achieve positive results.
It wasn't until 2014 that Wang Liqin finally met the other half of his life - the beautiful and virtuous wife Liu Jia. Since then, they have spent the wind and rain hand in hand, loving and beautiful like the prince and princess in a fairy tale, and now they have two lively and lovely baby children.
Looking at the overall situation, the former sports superstar has experienced ups and downs on both career and emotional paths, but in the end, he can still shine brightly on the new stage of life, which is really admirable!
