On November 8, 2012, in the Huo family's ancestral home, a grand century wedding was being held, in which the scene of the newlyweds and the groomsmen and bridesmaids taking a group photo was talked about by the media for many years.
In this group photo, there are 4 people in total, newcomer Guo Jingjing Huo Qigang, bridesmaid Wu Minxia, and groomsman Huo Qishan.
Surprisingly, the media felt that the "subtlety" of this group photo was not in the bride and groom, but in the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
It turned out that at that time, Guo Jingjing and Huo Qigang especially wanted to "match" Wu Minxia and her brother Huo Qishan together, hoping to become another pair of "legendary" marriages.
For Guo Jingjing, the little sister Wu Minxia is not only her partner, the two are deeply in love, if there is an opportunity for Wu Minxia to get married to her little uncle, it is a good story.
On the other hand, Huo Qigang's younger brother Huo Qishan has always regarded his sister-in-law Guo Jingjing as an example, and even bluntly said that if he finds a wife in the future, he must be as good as Guo Jingjing, so he is naturally favored by Wu Minxia, who is also a world champion.
Unfortunately, the giants are intentional, the beauty is ruthless, and Wu Minxia resolutely refuses in the face of the olive branch thrown by the giants.
And the man who makes Wu Minxia able to firmly reject the giants is no one else, but Zhang Xiaocheng, the "poor boy" she has loved deeply all her life.
In the year when Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng met, one was a world champion sought after by countless people, radiant; one was a college student who had just graduated, except for being full of talent, everything had just started;
After the two fell in love, not only could the relationship not be made public, but even the elders in the family were blocked layer by layer, but they insisted on it for 7 years and did not abandon it;
What charm does Zhang Xiaocheng have that can impress world champion Wu Minxia? And in the 7 years of their love, what kind of twists and turns and sufferings have gone through?
Today, let us walk into Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng to see their love and life.

In 2008, at the Beijing Water Cube Test Match, Wu Minxia suddenly heard the announcer shouting her name in English when she appeared in the competition, and she thought it sounded really good.
Later, Wu Minxia inadvertently asked her friend, did you think that this announcer's voice was particularly good?
The friend heard a surprised face and said bluntly: "This announcer is not a foreigner, but a high-achieving Chinese student." ”
A friend told Wu Minxia that the announcer's name was Zhang Xiaocheng.
Soon, at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Wu Minxia and Guo Jingjing once again joined forces to win the championship perfectly, this time, it was still the good voice, explaining Wu Minxia's diving competition.
However, although Wu Minxia heard this voice several times, she had never seen this person, and she did not know what this boy with a good voice looked like.
At that time, Wu Minxia did not know that fate had already planted seeds in the hearts of the two, and she did not know that Zhang Xiaocheng, who was on the other side of the game for her, had already fallen in love with herself at first sight.
It turned out that the first time Zhang Xiaocheng saw Wu Minxia standing on a springboard in the monitor, he was impressed by the girl with the determined eyes on the screen.
Although Wu Minxia still had Guo Jingjing next to her, Zhang Xiaocheng did not feel that Wu Minxia was covered by Guo Jingjing's light.
He said that many people feel that Wu Minxia's eyes are not "lethal", and her expression is not as calm and calm as Guo Jingjing's, but I feel that Wu Minxia has a special tenacity and stubbornness.
From the first glance of love at first sight with the girl on the screen, to the interpretation of the game for this girl, unconsciously, Zhang Xiaocheng had a crush on this girl who had never really met.
In 2009, Zhang Xiaocheng finally really met Wu Minxia in person, when he was excited and thought about what to say to Wu Minxia, but he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Your legs are still quite strong!" ”
Later, because of this sentence "straight man speaking", Zhang Xiaocheng was annoyed that he could not sleep for several days, and even his friends joked, "You are an announcer, you can speak the Tao on weekdays, how to say this to others, fortunately, the champion of others does not bother with you."
After this meeting, the relationship between Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng did not make any progress, and for Wu Minxia, this announcer with a good voice was just a friend who had met several times.
But for Zhang Xiaocheng, after he met Wu Minxia himself, he was more determined in his inner admiration, Wu Minxia's simple and simple personality, quiet and introverted nature, let Zhang Xiaocheng feel more that this girl is worth spending her life to protect.
However, although Zhang Xiaocheng was full of admiration, he could only silently put it in his heart, because the gap between him and Wu Minxia was too big.
Leaving aside the identity status of the two, Zhang Xiaocheng and Wu Minxia grew up in a different environment.
One is from a small county in Shaanxi, and the other is an authentic Shanghai girl, even now, the difference between the north and the south will make many young people prohibitive.
Then there is the growth experience of the two, one is an athlete who began to learn diving at the age of 6, the experience of life is a competition in addition to diving, and the other is a student who is studying hard in the cold window, ten years of cold window bitterness, a jump in the dragon gate.
The most important point is that when Wu Minxia has become a world champion and stands on the podium to accept the admiration of the Chinese people, Zhang Xiaocheng graduated from the Communication University of China, and the future is unknown.
Such a gap makes Zhang Xiaocheng, who is sober and self-aware, always dare not easily reveal his feelings, he is afraid of affecting Wu Minxia, and he is even more afraid that after showing his heart, the two cannot even be normal friends.
But the fate of fate, God has its own arrangement, and finally 1 year later, Zhang Xiaocheng's opportunity came.

In 2010, at the Fina World Diving Championships Qingdao Station, Wu Minxia and He Zi stood on the 3-meter board jumping platform together, and as a result, He Zi performed perfectly, and Wu Minxia was sentenced to zero points for slipping mistakes.
After falling into the water and coming up again, Wu Minxia was completely ignorant, her leg was scratched with a large hole, and the blood flowed out instantly.
In the face of the concern of the coach and the players, Wu Minxia just calmly said, it's okay, there is still one last jump left, let's talk about it after the jump.
On the night after the game, Wu Minxia locked herself in her room and cried, this kind of loss and regret is not difficult for athletes to understand.
A brilliant world champion was actually sentenced to zero points for mistakes, such a situation for Wu Minxia, she is not willing and unwilling to accept.
Just when Wu Minxia was holding her headache and crying, suddenly she received a strange text message on her mobile phone, the text message was only 4 words, but it hit Wu Minxia's heart in an instant.
The 4 words are: "Are you okay?" ”
Such a text message from a stranger made Wu Minxia stop her tears, and she began to communicate with this person in words.
The stranger patiently listened to Wu Minxia's bits and pieces, allowing Wu Minxia to talk about her pain and suffering, and finally Wu Minxia remembered to ask, Who are you?
The stranger said that I was Zhang Xiaocheng.
Since then, the contact between Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng has slowly increased.
Although the two can't meet often, they will send text messages to contact, Zhang Xiaocheng will often collect a lot of jokes, edit one by one, and send them to Wu Minxia, who has worked hard to train, hoping that these jokes can make Wu Minxia laugh.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Xiaocheng finally plucked up the courage and asked Wu Minxia face to face: Would you like to make it up to let me be your boyfriend? A sentence that seems to be light and cloudy has actually used up all of Zhang Xiaocheng's courage.
Fortunately, Wu Minxia smiled and she nodded.
This year, Wu Minxia was 25 years old and Zhang Xiaocheng was 24 years old.
On the day of their first date, Zhang Xiaocheng took a taxi and came over, and he carefully booked a high-end restaurant for Wu Minxia, hoping to do his best to give Wu Minxia the best things.
After coming to the high-end restaurant, Wu Minxia ordered two vegetarian dishes, plus a plate of dim sum, a total of less than 100 yuan, seeing Wu Minxia's order, Zhang Xiaocheng asked if it was enough?
Wu Minxia replied: We athletes can't eat too much outside, otherwise it will affect the training, Zhang Xiao honesty is true.
Many years later, Wu Minxia told the truth, saying that she did not have enough to eat at that time, but because Zhang Xiaocheng had just worked, she did not want Zhang Xiaocheng to spend too much money.
After the two had dinner, they had originally decided to go to the movie, and when they walked to the movie theater, Zhang Xiaocheng touched his wallet and disappeared, and he told Wu Minxia that the wallet seemed to have been lost in a taxi.
When Wu Minxia heard this, she immediately said, "So what are you waiting for, hurry up and find it?" Movies have a wallet that matters. ”
Finally, in order to find a wallet in the public security bureau to watch an afternoon of monitoring, in the face of Zhang Xiaocheng's embarrassment, Wu Minxia comforted: This is good, how safe is it in the public security bureau!
After the relationship between the two slowly stabilized, Wu Minxia asked Zhang Xiaocheng, can our love not be made public? I don't want others to know. Zhang Xiaocheng replied without hesitation, good.
At that time, Wu Minxia was preparing for the 2012 London Olympic Games, she could not be distracted by feelings, plus Fu Mingxia, Guo Jingjing's two sisters had already married into the giants, Wu Minxia knew that if the love affair was open, Zhang Xiaocheng would definitely face the doubts and pressure of public opinion.
Zhang Xiaocheng is worried that Wu Minxia is a public figure and must not affect his girlfriend's training and competition because of himself.
In this way, the two began an "underground love", although this relationship is not public, but the two are very determined, they silently support each other, relying on each other.
In 2012, on the eve of the London Olympic diving competition, Zhang Xiaocheng would text Wu Minxia every day, always encouraging Wu Minxia to relax and not be nervous.
On the day of the competition, when Wu Minxia stood on the 3-meter springboard, Zhang Xiaocheng stared at the figure of his girlfriend, his expression seemed to be light, in fact, his hands were trembling, he said, although it was not me who dived, I felt more nervous.
Because Zhang Xiaocheng knows how hard Wu Minxia is in order to prepare for the Olympic Games, since the zero point mistake in 2010, Wu Minxia has been very scared in her heart, coupled with the old injuries on her body, the new injuries continue, Zhang Xiaocheng feels that Wu Minxia is not easy.
Fortunately, at the 2012 London Olympic Games, Wu Minxia won two gold medals again, continuing the glory of the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
When Wu Minxia won the gold medal, she silently paid attention to her girlfriend's Zhang Xiaocheng and couldn't help but cry.
However, at this time, Zhang Xiaocheng's inner joy did not dare to share with anyone, because their love affair could not see the light for the time being.

After the London Olympics, Wu Minxia was 27 years old, and at this time she could have retired at the most perfect time in her career, but Wu Minxia chose to start again. She also wants to fight again to impact the 2016 Rio Olympics.
So, Wu Minxia asked Zhang Xiaocheng, "Can you wait for me for another 4 years?" I want to give it another shot! ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaocheng was silent, and then Zhang Xiaocheng looked up, seriously looked into Wu Minxia's eyes, and said: "Good, I'll wait for you."
Zhang Xiaocheng knows what his phrase "I am waiting for you" really means?
This means that he will stand behind Wu Minxia for 4 years, and at this time, Zhang Xiaocheng has not even been recognized by Wu Minxia's parents, and no one dares to pack tickets after 4 years.
But for the sake of Wu Minxia's dream, Zhang Xiaocheng has no remorse.
On Zhang Xiaocheng's side, parents were excited after they learned that the girlfriend their son found was Wu Minxia.
The two elders even went with their son to see Wu Minxia's World Championships in Shanghai in 2011, but because they respected Wu Minxia's decision to keep it secret, Zhang Xiaocheng's parents did not mention it to anyone.
But on the side of Wu Minxia's parents, this relationship has been questioned and resisted.
At first, when her parents knew that Wu Minxia had a "friend" named Zhang Xiaocheng, they reminded Wu Minxia not to be deceived.
In the eyes of her parents, Wu Minxia grew up in the diving captain since she was a child, and she did not understand the people outside, coupled with Wu Minxia's personality, she was introverted and quiet, and they were worried that their daughter, who did not go through the world, would be deceived by bad people.
In the face of her parents' worries, Wu Minxia always warmly comforted: I am so old, what can he lie to me? Whenever I hear my daughter's rebuttal, my parents have to say: Then keep your eyes open!
Slowly, seeing that their daughter's feelings with Zhang Xiaocheng were getting deeper and deeper, the parents were more worried.
After all, as a native of Shanghai, parents naturally hope that their future aunt can also be in Shanghai, and after seeing Zhang Xiaocheng's economic situation, parents feel that their daughter will inevitably suffer hardships in the future with Zhang Xiaocheng.
Seeing that her parents questioned Zhang Xiaocheng's ability, Wu Minxia firmly said that people have just worked for a short time, how can there be so much wealth, I think others are good, self-motivated, the future will definitely be a potential stock.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaocheng is also trying to make Wu Minxia's parents slowly accept themselves.
Zhang Xiaocheng is very considerate of the mood of the other party's elders, he said, if I have a daughter in the future, I definitely don't want her to have a hard time, everyone is the treasure in the hearts of parents, I will try to let the old people see my good.
Whenever he went to Wu Minxia's house, Zhang Xiaocheng would chat with the two elderly people very patiently, and then help wash the dishes and cook.
Once Wu Minxia moved, Zhang Xiaocheng went to help, without saying a word, he picked up two sacks and went forward, Wu Minxia's father saw the situation and quietly said to his daughter: It is really a real person.
Zhang Xiaocheng's efforts and simplicity, Wu Minxia's parents all looked in the eyes, and finally nodded their heads and agreed to let their daughter be with Zhang Xiaocheng.
In 2016, at the Rio Olympics, Zhang Xiaocheng and Wu Minxia's relationship was made public in a casual way.
At that time, Zhang Xiaocheng was watching Wu Minxia's game offstage, and after his girlfriend was stable, he was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when a female reporter came to interview.
Female reporter asked: Which athlete do you pay the most attention to on the field?
Zhang Xiaocheng replied without hesitation: Wu Minxia.
The female reporter asked: Why?
Zhang Xiaocheng replied: Because she is my girlfriend.
In an instant, this scene shocked countless people, and even Wu Minxia herself joked that after the Rio Olympics, she felt that Zhang Xiaocheng was even more popular than I won the championship.
After the glorious return of the Rio Olympics, Wu Minxia officially decided to retire.
But what is surprising is that the relationship between the two at this time has been made public, and the parents of both sides have expressed their support, but Zhang Xiaocheng openly rejected the marriage proposal of the program group on the "Venus Show".
And Wu Minxia also said, look at him, I will follow everything.
What's going on here? Let's look down.

In 2016, Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng participated in the "Venus Show" together, and after learning that the two had been in love for 6 years, Zhang Xiaocheng still did not propose, Venus took out his prepared diamond ring and flowers, and proposed that Zhang Xiaocheng propose to Wu Minxia in front of the national audience.
But Wanwan did not expect that Zhang Xiaocheng faced this proposal, bluntly said that it was too sudden, he did not want to propose marriage in such a hurry, so he resolutely refused.
After this scene was seen by the audience, Zhang Xiaocheng was instantly pushed to the cusp of public opinion, and even questioned whether Wu Minxia was deceived.
In May 2017, Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng went on a trip, originally Wu Minxia thought it was just an ordinary day, but she did not expect that it was a surprise carefully planned by Zhang Xiaocheng.
Zhang Xiaocheng asked Wu Minxia to take Wu Minxia to a stone bridge with a wreath in the middle of the bridge, And at the head of the bridge stood Zhang Xiaocheng in a suit and leather shoes, as well as parents on both sides.
Seeing all this in front of her, Wu Minxia instantly understood that Zhang Xiaocheng had asked for marriage.
Originally, I thought that Zhang Xiaocheng's vow to propose marriage had already touched Wu Minxia enough, but she did not expect that Zhang Xiaocheng's mind was far more than this.
The stone bridge that Zhang Xiaocheng found, up to 88 meters long, means that he and Wu Minxia love each other as they wish, and this garland on the bridge is a "Mobius ring" design, which means that a pair of lovers are close in the dark, and then love each other to infinity.
When she heard Zhang Xiaocheng recall the love between the two of them a little bit, Wu Minxia couldn't help but burst into tears, she said, at that moment I knew that I did not look at the wrong person.
After the marriage proposal, Zhang Xiaocheng and Wu Minxia held a wedding in their hometown in Shaanxi, and at the wedding, Wu Minxia went into the countryside and followed the customs, and there was no shelf of world champions at all.
And this wedding, Guo Jingjing and Huo Qigang also came, seeing the 4 people cordial group photo, can't help but think of the 2012 Guo Jingjing wedding, everyone also wanted to "match" Wu Minxia and Huo Qishan together.
Seeing Wu Minxia with a happy face in the group photo, you can see that although she is not married to a rich family, she is really happy.
A year after their marriage, Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng welcomed their daughter Xixi, and since then the world of the two has become a family of three.
After having a daughter Xixi, Wu Minxia and Zhang Xiaocheng worked harder to fight for a video career together, and with the support of her husband Zhang Xiaocheng, Wu Minxia, who originally ran when she saw the camera, has now become a successful video blogger.
In addition to the video business, Zhang Xiaocheng and Wu Minxia also opened a company, and the two finally relied on their own hands to fight their own piece of the sky.
In 2021, 36-year-old Wu Minxia announced that she was pregnant with her second child, and from her state point of view, she was really hot in stature, and her style was not lost that year, and even some netizens ridiculed, which state is like a mother who is about to give birth to a second child?
From acquaintance in 2008 to 2021, Zhang Xiaocheng, who loved Wu Minxia for 13 years, is still the former "little fan" Zhang Xiaocheng.
After Wu Minxia became pregnant with her second child, he was busier than before, and in the latest update, he showed his cooking skills and joked: Xia, when the second child was more mouthy, I had to rack my brains to cook.
Seeing Such Wu Minxia Zhang Xiaocheng, I really feel that their love is really good.
Although Wu Minxia did not marry into the rich like her sister Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing, she was willing to work with Zhang Xiaocheng to strive for her own happiness.
In fact, such love and marriage are the examples for young people to learn from today, after all, the giants are only a minority, and hard work is the norm for ordinary people.
May you also be like Wu Minxia Zhang Xiaocheng, there are good people in your heart, passers-by in front of you, and live a happy and happy life.
