<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the pride of Hebei people, and won the gold medal at the age of 18</h1>
In 1995, Zhang Shangwu, who was only 1.54 meters tall, joined the Beijing national gymnastics team.
When he first entered Beijing, Zhang Shangwu was very happy.
At the same time, there is also a lot of pressure in my heart.
He came from a poor background and his family was not in a good position.
Now he came to Beijing to get ahead.
But when he joined the national team, looking at these tall men of 1 meter and 8 around him, Zhang Shangwu suddenly felt very unpleasant in his heart, and the disadvantage of height and origin made him feel inferior in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that his relationship with the team members is actually not very good.
However, in this way, it is also convenient for him to specialize in technology.
So he set himself a goal in mind:
That's the champion!
In 2001, Zhang Shangwu followed the national team to "go out to the world".
At that year's World University Games, Zhang Shangwu won the ring and team gold medals with his excellent skills.
Become the brightest rising star at that World University Games.
He finally proved himself in front of everyone and got a bonus of 40,000 yuan.
Suddenly, the team members who had a bad relationship with him before came to talk to him, a girl was shy to send him a mobile phone, 1 meter 54 Zhang Shangwu smiled and looked at everything in front of him, happy to jump up.
However, the test of fate fell on Zhang Shangwu's body at this time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the test of fate</h1>
The matter should start after Zhang Shangwu won the gold medal.
From the obscurity at the beginning to the later gold medal, the efforts made by Zhang Shangwu, who came from a poor background, may not be understood by others.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shangwu's mentality has changed greatly.
He was determined to win a medal at the Olympics in the future, so he began practicing day and night.
At the same time, the strong sense of inferiority in origin and height has also been invisibly amplified a lot because of the gold medal obtained this time.
In order to satisfy his vanity, he began to spend bonuses indiscriminately, which eventually led to being reported for violating discipline.
Originally, this was nothing, as long as he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but his psychology could not turn this corner.
In his opinion, bowing his head and admitting mistakes is a shameful thing for a champion.
Later, thinking about it, he secretly ran back to his hometown of Baoding.
Such an approach made the people in charge of the Beijing national team very angry, but in the face of a talented player, they were always willing to give him a chance.
Zhang Shangwu spent some time in the Beijing national team, but he did not stay long before he said goodbye to the Olympic Games completely because of the rupture of his Achilles tendon.
At that moment, Zhang Shangwu felt that his sky had collapsed.
But he was not willing to give in.
Not long after recovering from his illness, Zhang Shangwu was returned to the provincial gymnastics team.
In Zhang Shangwu's view, not going to the Olympics and not getting a medal is the shame of his life, and returning to the provincial team at the same time still makes him unhappy.
Even though there were many people in the provincial team who worshipped him.
Looking at these young people around him, Zhang Shangwu felt extremely irritable, and he felt that God was too unfair to him.
Zhang Shangwu, who carries this resentment, is in the provincial team, and his life is suffering beyond scoring.
At the same time, the psychological inferiority complex makes him pay attention to the words of others all the time, and when he hears a little bit of his own words, he is very sensitive, and even does not hesitate to clash with others.
The conflict with the players is still a small matter, and most importantly, he has also had a lot of conflicts with the coach in the provincial team.
When the leader of the provincial sports bureau asked for his retirement opinion, the head coach said directly: "He has him in the team and I don't have me." ”
It can be seen to what extent the relationship between the two has deteriorated.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Shangwu began to become self-abandoned, according to the later colleagues and coaches, Zhang Shangwu should have been forcibly retired because of some special events.
At that time, in order to take care of his emotions, it was said that he was retired from injury, and at the same time, he was given a certain amount of retirement money and arranged for the later work.
But the job was strictly rejected by Zhang Shangwu.
In his opinion, when he is gone now, the work you give is like a handout, and he cannot ask for such a job.
Strong self-esteem, so that Zhang Shangwu frequently make wrong decisions at the node of life, at the same time, unable to adjust his mentality, he also began from retirement, officially began his humble "degenerate life." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > became a thief in order to make a living</h1>
In the beginning, in fact, Zhang Shangwu did not consider the job of being a thief.
But the burden of life really weighed him down.
Coupled with the fact that he has been in sports school for many years, he does not have a skill now.
Even if he applied for a security guard, no one wanted him.
Because the height requirement for a security guard is 165, but he is only 154.
Can I tell him that I didn't have a long time to practice sports for the glory of the motherland? ......”
Zhang Shangwu's psychology was full of grievances.
This grievance overwhelmed Zhang Shangwu, and he always couldn't understand how a brilliant teenager who had once been a brilliant teenager could end up with such a fate now?
He wasn't willing, he really wasn't willing.
Unable to find the reason, he began a life of self-abandonment, and at the same time, in his psychology, the resentment also accumulated deeper and deeper.
In 2007, after being detained by the Tianjin police for theft for two months, he officially began his career as a thief and intensified his plan.
He began to wander between sports schools, committing his own theft.
In the end, he was sentenced to 3 years and 10 months in prison.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > encounters were reported and helped by nobles</h1>
In April 2011, Zhang Shangwu was released from prison.
With the 100 yuan living expenses given by the prison, Zhang Shangwu once again stood at the crossroads of life.
In the days of prison, Zhang Shangwu thought a lot.
He buried the glory he had once had in his heart and restarted his difficult life.
Once even if others could talk about conflict, he now gave up his only self-esteem in order to make a living.
He came to the Wangfujing subway station in Beijing and officially began his life of selling art.
Rely on a variety of gymnastics movements to earn some handouts from others.
In front of him, there are pictures of him winning the championship years ago.
It was the pinnacle of his life that he could never go back to.
By selling his art, Zhang Shangwu can get some money from others every day, but he is often chased by security guards.
Selling art did not change his life, but made him more and more impoverished.
Watching the former champion fall to this point, those who pay attention to him have a trace of pity and helplessness in their hearts.
At this time, a person stepped forward, and he decided to give Zhang Shangwu a decent job.
This man is none other than the official philanthropist Chen Guangbiao.
He saw a photo of Zhang Shangwu on the Internet and was determined to help this ill-fated young man.
He contacted Zhang Shangwu, promised to give him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and invited him to come to the company to serve as a "public welfare love image ambassador." ”
From hell to heaven, Zhang Shangwu was transported.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Shangwu's next life should be good.
But the truth is, he has suffered a lot of discrimination in this company.
This made him feel lost, who was already inferior.
In an interview with the show, guests taunted him in front of everyone:
"Do you really think you're a dish?"
"It's enough to take at most 1,400 pieces."
These two sentences were inserted into Zhang Shangwu's chest like a knife, and he could no longer bear the eyes of outsiders, so he chose to flee.
Escape forever.
Zhang Shangwu, who left Chen Guangbiao, first opened his own company, and then returned to the subway station in the case of no improvement in business, returned to his old business, and started his own art career.
He has a strong sense of self-esteem and no longer accepts job introductions from others.
He only wants to earn money through his own selling skills.
Sometimes he also does some brainless things because of his livelihood.
For example, publish your bank card number online in the hope of getting help from someone else.
After being insulted, he lied and deceived.
Later, I started to shoot funny strips on the Internet, but there was no splash.
In 2019, he was caught again for stealing bags.
From a top athlete to a thief in the "second palace", Zhang Shangwu's life experience makes people sigh.
He was supposed to have a brilliant life, but because of his bad choices again and again, he ruined his great future.
I remembered that in a previous interview, I saw Zhang Shangwu say something like this:
"From the beginning of 1987 to the retirement in 2005, I practiced gymnastics for 18 years, but life after retirement has been very difficult, in fact, many athletes after retirement, some of my teammates, face employment difficulties."
After watching it, I think the athletes are really not easy, and what Zhang Shangwu said is also the truth.
But I still can't forgive him for his crimes.
The difficulties of a retired athlete's life are a fact, but this does not justify his crime.
In his life, it is not that there is no opportunity, but that he himself has given up the opportunity.
He has never been able to pass his own barrier, nor can he reconcile with the world, he does not understand that the glory of the past is only the past, and each of us can only grasp the current life.
Do you think that Zhang Shangwu's encounter was caused by himself, or was it caused by the retirement of athletes?
