Liu Guoliang - this name is believed to be familiar to everyone, the current chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, once a male table tennis brother and the head coach of the national table tennis meritorious coach, he has made great contributions to the cause of Chinese table tennis. Of course, behind this successful man there is also a great woman, she is Wang Jin.
In 1991, the 15-year-old Liu Guoliang was selected for the national team with his outstanding strength, and in the second year of his selection, Liu Guoliang won the men's team and men's doubles championships of the 1992 Asian Cup and Asian Championships, and a supernova in the field of table tennis is rising. At this time, Wang Jin, who was the same age as Liu Guoliang, was also selected for the national youth team in 1992, and in this way, 16-year-old Liu Guoliang and 16-year-old Wang Jin met in the national team.
When he first met Wang Jin, Liu Guoliang was deeply attracted to this heroic girl, and since then this girl has lived in his heart. In the days that followed, Liu Guoliang often deliberately created the opportunity to meet Wang Jin by chance, coupled with the two people of the same age, the two soon became good friends, and later Liu Guoliang went further and began to take the initiative to invite Wang Jin to train together... After coming and going, Wang Jin was gradually impressed by Liu Guoliang's superb ball skills, and the hearts of the two young boys and girls began to feel affection for each other, and finally quietly completed holding hands...
But the love between two people also faces a serious practical problem, that is, the implementation of strict militarized management within the national table tennis, the love behavior between male and female team members is strictly prohibited, and there is only one result of falling in love - either break up, or at least leave one. Therefore, Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin can only talk about underground love, but the paper can't cover the fire after all, and the love affair between the two people has been discovered...
In 1995, the 19-year-old Liu Guoliang was already the main player in men's table tennis, having won a number of championship titles in the Asian Cup, asian championships and major open tournaments, Liu Guoliang was still a seed player in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, and Wang Jin had not yet been able to enter the first team at this time. In this case, in order to maintain this love and support Liu Guoliang's career, without telling Liu Guoliang in advance, 19-year-old Wang Jin voluntarily withdrew from the national team and chose to go to Japan to play. Liu Guoliang knew and directly chased after Wang Jin's hometown, the two people agreed with this decision after communicating, and since then the two have been in a foreign country and started a four-year long-distance relationship...
In 1996, Liu Guoliang won two gold-laden men's singles gold medals in the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and after winning the World Cup, Liu Guoliang's ranking in the International Table Tennis Federation also rose to the first place, and the title of "world first" fell to the 20-year-old young man. Later, from 1997 to 1999, Liu Guoliang continued to harvest honors, and the position of the first brother in the table tennis arena became more and more stable...
But the accident fell from the sky, in the 1999 World Table Tennis Championships in the Netherlands, Liu Guoliang was detected to exceed the testicle standard, Liu Guoliang faced the high-pressure surveillance and sampling of the International Table Tennis Federation, Liu Guoliang lived in anxiety all day... After Wang Jin learned of this, he resolutely gave up his table tennis career in Japan and returned to Liu Guoliang to give him much-needed care and comfort, and in April 2000, Liu Guoliang was so wronged that he was able to return to the familiar arena.
After returning to China, Wang Jin naturally could not continue to engage in professional table tennis career, but she was not idle, she chose to enter Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study, after graduation she devoted herself to the business sea, successfully founded Beijing Huaxia National Ball Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. and served as the chairman of the company, her entrepreneurial success has also become the most solid backing for Liu Guoliang's career development later...
The accident of the 1999 World Table Tennis Championships in the Netherlands also allowed Liu Guoliang to slide directly from the peak to the bottom, and at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, Liu Guoliang failed to complete the task of winning gold. In 2002, Liu Guoliang, who was only 26 years old, chose to retire, and in 2003, he was appointed as the coach of the national table tennis men's team, opening a new career in the field of table tennis...
The story behind I believe that everyone will not be unfamiliar, Liu Guoliang's coaching career has been hanging all the way, from the men's team coach, to the head coach, to the vice chairman of the Table Tennis Association, and finally to the current chairman of the Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang has achieved excellent results in every position, which has also become a solid foundation for him to successfully jump to the next step... But Liu Guoliang in this process is not smooth sailing, the 2017 national table tennis men's team retirement storm and endorsement "love money into" overturning is the best example, these two times let Liu Guoliang was pushed to the cusp of public opinion, this time is the wife behind the full support to let Liu Guoliang safely survive these crises.
Wang Jin's entrepreneurial success allows Liu Guoliang not to worry about the rear of the family, nor to worry about the trivialities of life, he only needs to pursue his ideals and actively devote himself to China's table tennis career... The existence of Liu Guoliang has indeed maintained the glory of Chinese table tennis for nearly 20 years...
From falling in love to now, Wang Jin has made two major active self-sacrifices, one is to play alone in Japan at the age of 19, and the other is to give up his table tennis career at the age of 23 and return to China to accompany Liu Guoliang. But Wang Jin, who made sacrifices, did not attach herself to Liu Guoliang's idea in the slightest, and she embarked on a career path that was completely her own... Wang Jin is a true independent female role model...
