His appearance has changed the world's prejudice against Chinese athletics, so that everyone can see that Chinese can also dominate the track and field.
In the 110-meter hurdles race at the 2004 Athens Olympics, he was like an off-string arrow, the first to rush to the finish line, and then the champion to win softly.
However, just because he withdrew twice, he was scolded by the Chinese for 12 years, what did he do wrong?
On November 20, 2020, Liu Xiang was interviewed by the media in response to someone who made an apology to Liu Xiang online.
His performance was very calm, as if everything he had suffered in that year was just a dream, as if all the pain of that year had long since disappeared.
In 2004, 22-year-old Liu Xiang stood in the 110-meter hurdles, and as the only yellow-skinned race on the field, he was surrounded by many black players.
Everyone automatically chose to ignore him, until the narrator excitedly shouted that Liu Xiang had won, and the people turned back, and the person who had just crossed the finish line with lightning speed was actually a Chinese!
At this time, people began to pay attention to liu xiang, who was tall and thin.
He was originally a high jumper, but because of a hurdle movement, he was inadvertently favored by Sun Haiping, so he began professional hurdle training.
In front of the players who are as skilled as clouds, Liu Xiang is almost the worst one.
He didn't have enough strength to lift a barbell; he didn't have enough endurance and often threw up in lap training...
However, under the strict requirements of Coach Sun Haiping, he only gritted his teeth and tried to persevere, and his achievements have also developed by leaps and bounds.
His efforts were not in vain, and a glittering Olympic gold medal proved to the world his strength.
Liu Xiang, who became famous in World War I, immediately became the darling of the media and advertisers, with continuous reports and endorsement contracts.
He not only gathered super popularity, but also had a super gold absorption, which is simply a proper winner in life.
On July 12, 2006, Liu Xiang set a record of 0.03 seconds faster than the 2004 Olympic Games, breaking the world record that has not changed for 13 years and winning the gold medal in the IAAF Super Competition.
In September 2006, Liu Xiang once again made history, he won the first place in the IAAF Super Competition in Germany, becoming the first Chinese in history to win the world's Super Competition.
When Liu Xiang proved himself with his achievements once and for all, countless netizens began to worship him as a god-like existence and gave him the title of "Asian Trapeze".
Perhaps at this time in everyone's mind, Liu Xiang's two words mean that the championship means the gold medal, and failure can never appear on him.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics were held on our doorstep, with 100,000 seats of athletics, many of whom came just for Liu Xiang.
They wanted to witness a miracle in Beijing, and the moment Liu Xiang appeared, the arena boiled over, as if they had seen the moment he won the championship.
However, Liu Xiang, who had just played, returned from the game because of the old injury to his right Achilles tendon, and he withdrew from the game in the preliminary round, and naturally did not qualify for the final.
No one noticed his expression of pain and pain during the game, nor did anyone notice the look of loss when he limped off the field, and all they saw was Liu Xiang's halfway exit.
For a time, Liu Xiang changed from an Asian trapeze artist to a deserter coward, and some people said that he knew that his ability was not good, so he would choose to escape in this way.
Although coach Sun Haiping told the media after the game that in fact, Liu Xiang had been tortured by injuries before the game, he still wanted to stick to the game and win the gold medal.
It's just that everyone doesn't buy it, and the more they explain, the more everyone spits on it. Sun Haiping was unwilling to give up Liu Xiang, and he took Liu Xiang to the United States for rehabilitation training.
Every training was extremely painful, and the intensity of training was unbearable for ordinary people, but Liu Xiang gritted his teeth and persevered, and finally the kung fu paid off, and Liu Xiang's body improved.
After that, he carried out a series of devil training, running, swimming, physical fitness, in order to return to the field, he put in more effort than ordinary people imagined.
After returning to China, he is already a 28-year-old sports "old man", and the 110-meter hurdles arena has long ceased to be his world, but Liu Xiang is not willing to concede defeat, he wants to give it a go.
Liu Xiang decided to change his familiar 8-step upper column to a 7-step upper column, and at the same time changed it to a left-foot jump, hoping to create a good result.
In 2011, the familiar Liu Xiang returned, although it was only a 13:22 result, but still created Asian history, in 2012, at the age of 30, he returned to the top of the world 110 meters hurdles.
At this time, people rekindled hope for Liu Xiang, and at the 2012 London Olympic Games, he once again became a favorite to win the championship.
But the world is confused, the game has just begun, Liu Xiang was tripped when he crossed the first railing, he sat on the ground in pain, obviously unable to face this fact.
In the end, Liu Xiang still stood up, and he jumped on one foot to the finish line, and at this moment Liu Xiang already knew that his sports career was over.
He kissed his best friend "Railing" and said goodbye to the arena in this way, to his past.
History repeats itself again and again, Liu Xiang is drowned in the saliva of the crowd, and all kinds of questioning, mocking and ridicule are constantly heard.
At this time, Liu Xiang did not have a word of explanation, he silently endured all this, falling from the peak to the trough, for him, although he did not want to accept, but had to accept.
In 2014, Liu Xiang announced his marriage to Ge Tian, but the relationship between the two eventually lost to a different place, they could hardly find common ground after living together for a long time, and after 9 months of marriage, the two chose to break up peacefully.
At the beginning of 2016, Liu Xiang announced his relationship with Wu Sha, both of whom are athletes in athletics and have had brilliant results.
More coincidentally, Liu Xiang and Wu Sha had been in love long before his first marriage, but finally broke up for various reasons.
This time, the two especially cherished this hard-won relationship, and they entered the marriage hand in hand.
Maybe it's because they have lost it to know how to cherish it, or maybe it's because the two have too many common topics, and their lives have been happy and sweet after marriage.
Today, Liu Xiang is about to enter the year of confusion, and his biggest hobby is to travel with his wife or do charity in sports.
Of course, it will occasionally appear in some variety shows, and as for the children, they have also been put on the agenda, and everything is going step by step, getting better and better.
Although he has not worked for many years, his endorsements in the early years have made Liu Xiang worth more than 100 million.
With a dear wife, a rich economy, and free time, Liu Xiang now doesn't care about an apology that people owe him, because he has met the best version of himself.
