Although the Tokyo Olympics have long come to an end, the wonderful performances of athletes on the field are still evocative. The achievements of the Hong Kong team are also obvious to all, and have created many historical moments, the second gold medal, the first gold medal after the return and so on.
Hong Kong has produced two gold medals in the history of the Olympic Games, in addition to Zhang Jialang won the championship with fencing at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 25 years ago, "After the Wind" Li Lishan won the first gold medal for Hong Kong, this gold medal is of great significance, and it was maintained for 25 years before it was inherited by Zhang Jialang.
With the gradual change of age, Li Lishan is no longer in front of the curtain, what is she like now? What is her life course at the age of 50? Her sentence: "Hong Kong athletes are not garbage", what kind of blood has been set off?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Cheung Chau girl</h1>
Born in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, Lee Lee Shan came into contact with windsurfing not by accident, not because of her initial preferences, but because of her uncle Lai Gen.
One of Hong Kong's first windsurfing enthusiasts, Lai Gen has been living in Cheung Chau, running a small tea house by the sea and renting windsurfing. Li Lishan moved to Regen's home when she was four years old, and Regen had no children at that time.
Under the influence of her uncle, Li Lishan slowly fell in love with this challenge, and under the influence of her ears, she officially began to accept her uncle's training at the age of 12.
In 1989, Li Lishan successfully joined the Hong Kong team with her outstanding talent and hard work, and received systematic training from the Hong Kong team, and began a brilliant sports career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > the road to champion</h1>
In 1992, Li Lishan competed in the Olympic arena for the first time, but due to her lack of experience and the long-term domination of the project by the West, Li Lishan only won 11th place. Although it is regrettable, it has laid the foundation and injected strength into its championship road.
On the eve of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Li Lishan was unfortunately stung by jellyfish, and Li Lishan at that time complained about heaven, but thought that sail runner Barbara Kendall had also been injured unexpectedly, and persevered and won the gold medal.
This sense of strength suddenly arose, and Li Lishan strengthened her determination to participate in the Atlanta Olympic Games.
At that time, the sailing event was originally scheduled to be held in Savannah, Georgia, from July 22 to August 2, but due to bad weather and other reasons, the number of games was reduced from 11 to 9, and each participant could deduct the worst two results to determine the final ranking.
Although she was stung by jellyfish and did not heal, she still played with 100% effort. He never fell out of the top 4 in the first six games, and finally locked up the championship after winning the first place in the eighth game, winning the first gold medal for Hong Kong since its first participation in the Olympic Games in 1952.

During the 1996 Olympics, Hong Kong's return to the motherland was less than a year away. This year, there was an unprecedented "darkness" in Hong Kong, many people were in a state of confusion, and that sense of self-confidence and pride disappeared in an instant. At this moment, a shot of cardiotonic injection is needed, and Li Lishan is the good medicine.
At that time, Li Lishan had two shots that could most touch people's hearts.
The first shot is when Li Lishan rushes to the finish line, shouting into the camera: Hong Kong athletes are not garbage. This sentence made the confused people realize that Hong Kong had the ability to produce Olympic gold medalists.
(This incident originated in the 1990s, when Li Lishan represented Hong Kong at the European Windsurfing Championships, which originally wanted to give up a little more non-European seats for different people to participate, but later the registration quota exceeded the limit of 60 people.) It has attracted some European participants to whisper to a group of Hong Kong representatives, pointing out that Hong Kong athletes are garbage, why should they compete for qualifications. ）
The second shot is on the night of the award ceremony. Li Lishan stood on the championship podium, looking at the scene in front of her, thinking back to the embrace of the motherland, tears not only covered her face, of course, there was also the bitterness and bitterness of the previous training. She felt afterwards that if she could choose from scratch, she would definitely not become an athlete, because it was too bitter!
In 2004, Li Lishan participated in the Olympic Games for the last time, in this competition, she began to take the lead, but in the fifth event, she was ruled by the conference to steal the step, and finally could only relegate to fourth place, missing the opportunity to win medals for Hong Kong again.
In 2008, Li Lishan became the first baton in the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay in Hong Kong. This honor is precious and is another grand event after her return to the embrace of the motherland.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > family life</h1>
During the Olympic Games, Li Lishan served as the host of the Radio Television Hong Kong program, leading the audience to welcome the Olympic Games together, and the wonderful commentary made a group of netizens suddenly realize that Li Lishan, who was once "after the wind", was still so dashing.
After retiring, Li Lishan focused on her family, has been a full-time mother, and in her spare time, she will also care about the athletes' competitions, but Li Lishan's family is the focus of envy of many netizens.
Li Lishan's husband, Huang Desen, is also a windslider. The person who Li Lishan won the championship and hugged was Huang Desen.
After the two got married in 1999, they have always been regarded as a model couple in the circle, not only without the slightest scandal, but also with the feeling of first love. It is reported that Li Lishan has a total of two daughters, although she did not inherit her parents' love of windsurfing, but used interests in other fields.
In just a few decades of life, Li Lishan's brilliant stage of life is very short, but it has brought great honor to Hong Kong, and this honor will accompany her throughout her life.
