Born in 1973, Sun Wen began her playing career at the age of 12. Five years later, at the age of 17, she was recruited into the Chinese national team, and later became the top scorer at the 1999 Women's World Cup, and she was known as the "sonorous rose" for her tenacious style and fighting spirit.
Sun Wen's characteristics in the player period are good awareness, and good at organization, delicate technology, coupled with her often staged "one-stop" good plays, so fans call her "Maradona in a skirt!" At the turn of the century in 2000, Sun Wen and American veteran Michelle Akers were named the "Miss Football of the Century" by FIFA!
And the memory of Sun Wen is far from this, in the spring evening of 2000, Guo Donglin praised this women's football striker in the sketch "Old Song New Singing", he sang: "Sun Wen's foot is boundlessly powerful, it is two narrow and wide, it does not stick to the ball, it is not upside down, it is the ball, it is the two heads of the trembling that is not intermittent, and the angle of the multi-diao is not biased!" The language is witty and humorous, loved by the audience, and let more people know Sun Wen's name."
After the 2003 Women's World Cup, the 30-year-old Sun Wen announced her retirement. Because the Chinese women's football team was in an embarrassing situation at that time, Sun Wen had a brief comeback two years later, but it was obvious that she could not stop the decline of the Chinese women's football team by herself. Less than a year after her comeback, Sun Wen announced that she was hanging her shoes again.
At the end of 2009, Sun Wen, who returned to off-site life, registered her marriage in Shanghai with her lover who had been in love for nearly 5 years, and her husband was a Chinese engineer working in Canada and an outsider in sports circles. In an interview, Sun Wen's husband once confessed: "I rarely watch sports games, nor have I ever seen Sun Wen play football. Because he has been working in the United States for many years, the man's memory of sports is only "Yao Ming" and "Rocket". Although the husband is not a sports fan, the relationship between the husband and wife is very strong.
Today, the 48-year-old Sun Wen is still doing her best for the development of the Chinese women's football team. Not long ago, in the interview and assessment of the new coach of women's football held by the Chinese Football Association, she was one of the 6 interviewers.
