preface
In the arena, she is a shining star, winning 9 gold medals over the years, and every match is the focus of heated discussions among the audience.
However, when she retired from the field, she auctioned off all her gold medals and sold for a high price of 3.99 million yuan, however, this is not the end of the story.
Just when everyone thought she would continue to live in China, she made an unexpected decision to leave the country and emigrate.
An inspirational start
In 1988, in an ordinary farming family in Shuanghe Town, Heshan City, Guangdong Province, 11-year-old Chen Xiaomin was busy preparing for his upcoming primary school graduation.
However, fate opened an unexpected door for her at this time. A coach from a county sports school discovered Chen Xiaomin's potential when selecting materials and introduced her to the world of weightlifting.
For the young Chen Xiaomin, this decision completely changed the trajectory of her life. Growing up in the countryside, she had excellent physical fitness, coupled with the unyielding energy in her bones, she soon showed amazing talent in weightlifting.
In just two years, Chen Xiaomin was promoted from the county sports school all the way to the provincial sports school, and then joined the Guangdong team. She improved so quickly that even the coaches were amazed.
In 1992, at the age of 15, Chen Xiaomin ushered in the first major turning point of her career - she was successfully selected for the national team.
The intensity of training and competitive pressure of the national team is far from comparable to that of the provincial team. However, Chen Xiaomin was not intimidated by these difficulties. She sees every training session as an opportunity to challenge herself, and every competition as a stage to prove herself. This attitude quickly paid off.
In 1993, at the National Games, Chen Xiaomin was a sensation and won the gold medal in the 54 kg class. In the same year, she won the gold medal at the World Championships and became the new World Champion.
This series of successes has made 16-year-old Chen Xiaomin quickly become a rising star in China's weightlifting world.
World record setter
Since 1993, Chen Xiaomin's career has entered an unprecedented period of highlights, and she has won gold and silver in major tournaments almost every year.
In 1994, Chen Xiaomin won the 59kg championship at the Hiroshima Asian Games. In 1997, she won three gold medals in the 64kg category at the Asian Championships. These achievements not only made her the top spot in the domestic weightlifting world, but also made her famous on the international stage.
For Chen, however, the real challenge is yet to come. In 1999, she qualified for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
In the run-up to the Olympics, Chen Xiaomin encountered the biggest crisis of his career. As a result of long-term high-intensity training, her thigh and lower back muscles were severely strained, her joints were misaligned, and her nerves were severely compressed. Doctors warned her that if she continued to train, she would likely become paralyzed.
Faced with such a dilemma, many people may choose to give up. But Chen Xiaomin showed amazing perseverance and determination. While receiving treatment, she continued to train, treating herself as a warrior and fighting for the honor of her country.
In the end, with the help of doctors and coaches, Chen Xiaomin miraculously adjusted his condition. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she won the gold medal in the women's weightlifting 63kg category with a stunning performance and broke the world record twice in the competition.
This hard-won gold medal embodies Chen Xiaomin's sweat and perseverance over the years, and also marks the peak of her career.
An unexpected decision
In 2001, Chen Xiaomin chose to retire. For an athlete who has just stood on top of the world, the decision may seem a bit sudden.
But Chen Xiaomin already had a plan in mind. She first worked at the weightlifting center of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, but soon accepted a job offer from the Yangcheng Evening News to plan activities related to the Olympics and sports.
However, what really shocked the public was a decision made by Chen Xiaomin in 2003. This year, she announced that she would auction off all her gold medals, including the hard-won Olympic gold medal.
Many people don't understand why an athlete would be willing to sell his most prized symbol of honor.
In the end, Chen Xiaomin's 10 gold medals were auctioned at a high price of 3.99 million yuan, of which the Olympic gold medal was sold for 1.28 million yuan. In the face of doubts from the outside world, Chen Xiaomin's explanation was unexpected: she wanted to use the money to build a hope primary school in her hometown of Shuanghe Town, Heshan.
This decision made many people look at Chen Xiaomin with admiration. She gave back to the society in another way the honor she had earned for more than ten years of hard work.
This Hope Primary School is not only equipped with modern teaching facilities, but also has added a lot of sports equipment, so that more children have the opportunity to receive education, and even have the opportunity to chase sports dreams like Chen Xiaomin.
From weightlifting champions to fashionable women
After retiring, Chen Xiaomin did not stop exploring life. In 2016, she was once again in the public spotlight, but this time in a new capacity – she participated in the 10th China Chest Model Competition.
Many people don't understand why an Olympic champion would choose to participate in such a competition.
In order to compete in the competition, Chen Xiaomin underwent microplastic surgery, grafting fat from her thighs to her chest and face.
In an interview, Chen Xiaomin once said: "Participating in the chest model competition can provide me with the opportunity to transform. "
After many transformations in his career as an athlete and after retirement, Chen Xiaomin's life has once again ushered in a major turning point. She made a decision that many people did not expect – to move to Australia.
Some questioned why she had left the country she had fought for so many years, while others speculated whether she was disappointed with life at home. However, for Chen Xiaomin, this is just another stage of her life's exploration.
In Australia, Chen Xiaomin did not choose a comfortable life, she became a partner in an immigrant investment firm, and put her experience and skills into a new business.
At the same time, Chen Xiaomin's personal life is also on the right track. In 2005, she and her boyfriend Wu Dan, who had been in love for 8 years, entered the marriage hall. Wu Dan is a doctor who has given her tremendous support during her preparations for the Olympic Games.
In his new life in Australia, Chen Xiaomin still maintains the fighting spirit of his time as an athlete. She learns new knowledge, adapts to a new environment, and strives to create her own business in this strange land.
Although she is far away from her home country, she still keeps an eye on China's development and contributes to the exchange between China and Australia in her own way.
