What do the four words world champion represent? It is the lifelong dream of athletes, but also the goal they have pursued all their lives, everyone knows that there are many world champions now, but they certainly do not know that there was once a world champion who became a prisoner of the order, he is Zhang Shangwu.
He was born in Hebei in 1983, his parents are ordinary office workers, when he was 6 years old, his father was sentenced to 20 years for fighting, and because of this, his mother chose to divorce his parents, and his mother did not take Yang Shangwu away.
In this way, the little Zhang Shangwu lost the love of his relatives and could only live with his grandparents, and the three of them all relied on their grandmother to support themselves, and the pressure of working every day was very great. In order to save money, his grandparents sent him to sports school, and every day he trained very hard, but he did not give up, he knew that he could not live up to his grandparents' hopes.
Soon, he showed amazing talent for gymnastics, everyone was very optimistic about him, Zhang Shangwu did not disappoint everyone, he entered the provincial team at the age of 10, and entered the national team at the age of 12.
Zhang Shangwu
When he first entered the national team, Zhang Shangwu's life was not good, because the other children's clothes were very bright and beautiful, and the parents came to visit their children from time to time, but he was always a person, the clothes on his body were faded, usually he was reluctant to spend money, he looked at other people's children to buy this and that, he touched his pockets, thought about it, or forget it, and then turned his head to practice.
In addition, his relationship with other team members is also very poor, other team members have been excluding him, because he is short (1.54 meters), even the female team members do not look at him, Zhang Shangwu is fed up with such ridicule and discrimination, so he secretly swore in his heart that he must get the gold medal, because only in this way, they will look at themselves and they will not have to be excluded.
In this way, he has been practicing hard, fortunately, he soon realized his dream, he won the gold medal in a world-class competition, and then his life has changed, the previous team members who looked down on him have come to talk to him, and even girls have sent mobile phones to themselves, when he was really beautiful, he enjoyed such a day.
After that, Zhang Shangwu also secretly swore that he must win the Olympic championship, but what people did not expect was that Zhang Shangwu began to float after winning the gold medal.
Later, Zhang Shangwu also got a place in the World Championships, but because he violated discipline, he did not play well on the field, did not get medals, and even did not qualify for the Athens Olympic Games. At this time, the national team could not tolerate him, so he directly returned to the provincial team, in the provincial team, he did not reflect on why he had become what he is now, but began to give up on himself, and even fought many times to violate discipline. Even the coach had a lot of conflicts with him, and the head coach directly reported to his superiors and said: "This team, there is him without me." ”
Not long after, he broke his Achilles tendon in a training, there was no way, he really couldn't mix in this industry, he decided to retire in 2003, it is understood that when he retired, he only had 38,000 savings.
After retiring from the army, he did not know where to go, his education was relatively low, he could not find a serious job at all, after returning to his hometown, Zhang Shangwu began to send box lunches, wash dishes and other tiring work, but due to physical reasons did not work for a long time.
After he resigned, he also applied for a security guard, but because of his height, no one wanted him. In the case of his own desperate, he thought of selling medals, said to do it, he took out the medals he won, with a price of 100 yuan to sell cheaply, but this did not let Zhang Shangwu persist for long, there is no money on him, he is not embarrassed to ask for money for his grandparents, so he began to move his bad mind to decide to do the business of stealing.
In 2007, Zhang Shangwu began to steal in Tianjin, not long after was caught by the Tianjin police, was detained for two months, after coming out Zhang Shangwu still did not want to repent, he thought that the previous work was too small, want to do a big, so he went directly to Beijing has stolen tens of thousands of yuan of property, and even began to rob in major places, Beijing police received a call from the masses and began to investigate this matter immediately, when zhang Shangwu was found to have a previous conviction, so he immediately arrested Zhang Shangwu. He was sentenced to more than 4 years, and later commuted to more than 3 years for his good performance in prison.
You must know that he was only in his twenties at that time, what a good age, but he embarked on a crooked road, one wrong step at a time, and finally became a prisoner from a champion.
Time passed quickly three years of time quickly, in 2011, Zhang Shangwu was released after completing his sentence, after which he did not know what to do, people who had been in prison generally did not want him, and he did not have the face to return to his hometown, his body and injuries could not do physical work at all, so he wandered around, and later, the provincial sports administration bureau learned about Zhang Shangwu's situation and found him a job, but he refused, because he felt that he could not do it.
There is no way, Zhang Shangwu began to sell art, he came to a subway station in Beijing, took out a small bowl that he did not know where to get, prepared all the equipment and began to perform various gymnastics moves, passers-by from time to time to give some tips, in order to let passers-by know their former glory, he also took out the photos of his previous participation in the competition and placed them next to him. For others, it is a goal that he can't achieve in his lifetime, but for him, it is the peak of life that he can never go back to.
But such a life is not stable, can only earn a few dozen yuan a day, and from time to time there are chengguan to chase him, such a life makes him more and more irritable, just at this time, someone found Zhang Shangwu and decided to give him a job, this person is Chen Guangbiao (philanthropist).
And the reason why Chen Guangbiao will pay attention to him is because once, Zhang Shangwu escaped to a subway when he was chased by the city management, he saw that there was an empty space and began to perform in the subway, someone posted a photo of his performance on the Internet, Chen Guangbiao looked at this young man very pitiful and decided to help him.
He contacted Zhang Shangwu and said that he could find him a job with a monthly salary of ten thousand, and when he heard this, Zhang Shangwu was moved, and he agreed to the job.
Seeing this, I think Zhang Shangwu's fate has begun to change? No, no, no, this is not the end, Zhang Shangwu has been discriminated against and ridiculed here, is this scene familiar? Yes, when he first joined the national team, it was the same.
However, this time he did not refute it, he began to slowly become inferior, but these people did not intend to let him go, and even in an interview, in front of everyone, they began to scold him: "Do you really think that you are a dish?" "At most, a thousand dollars is enough." These words hurt his body, and he chose to flee.
After leaving Chen Guangbiao's company, Zhang Shangwu thought of opening his own company, but after the opening of the business did not improve, he directly closed, he thought about it and decided to continue to go back to the subway station to sell art. Later, the money earned was also less and less, so he published his bank card number on Weibo in 2012, hoping to get relief from netizens, which was spurned by everyone, who scolded Zhang Shangwu below for not showing up, and even more ugly words.
After all, a young guy with hands and feet like him, it is very easy to find a job at will, why start eating and drinking now?
As public opinion grew larger, Zhang Shangwu had to come out and apologize, saying that he knew that he was wrong and had now deleted the microblog, looking at his own face, hoping that the majority of netizens would be merciful.
This time, he was desperate again, so he started his old business, street art, he wandered in front of subway stations in Beijing and Shanghai and other big cities, performing gymnastics, singing, buying magazines, etc., in addition, he often bought eyeballs on the Internet, in 2018, he said that he had schizophrenia, and insomnia, mental retardation, and the culprit of all this was his former coach of the national gymnastics team.
He said that he made a small mistake and severely punished, did not praise him for having good results, and even slapped him in the mouth many times, because he was very scared at a young age, in such an environment, it led to his psychological lesions. He blamed everything on other people, and picked himself up as if he were the victim of the whole thing, which made a lot of jokes at the time, and some people almost believed his lies.
In 2019, Zhang Shangwu also stole someone else's bag, turned around after winning the hand and sold the SLR camera inside the bag, the rest of the things were all thrown away, and it didn't take long to be arrested by the police, this time, he went into the bureau for 7 months, this is already "two into the palace", I don't know if he will stage "three into the palace" Maybe the police have already known him.
Later Zhang Shangwu, decided to start to develop on the Internet, took a lot of paragraphs, but no one watched, now Zhang Shangwu began to do public welfare activities, and said on Weibo that he would donate 90% of the income from selling red heart strawberries to volunteers who insisted on the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, but it seems that not many netizens bought his account, and even suspected that his motives were not pure.
I don't know if Zhang Shangwu now regrets what he once did, but things have happened, even if it is too late to regret, his teammate Xing Aowei once said that Yang Shangwu's talent in gymnastics is no less than anyone else's, even he is willing to bow to the wind.
But now, everyone has become an Olympic champion fighting for the country, Zhang Shangwu is "two into the palace" street art, the fate of the two is completely different, but this is also his own doing.
Chen Guangbiao and Zhang Shangwu
Some people say that since they are all retired athletes, why has no one helped him? In fact, he had many opportunities to turn over, but he did not grasp it, and he played a good hand of cards, and he did not know what he thought.
But even if he is a retired athlete and breaks his Achilles tendon in order to train, these are not the reasons for his crime. In this regard, if you have any ideas, you can leave more comments in the comment area.
