Athletes are a high-risk profession.
Success, then success: defeat, then no one cares about injuries.
In addition to Yao Ming, Guo Jingjing, athletes at the front end can have a brilliant future, there are also some people who can only survive under the crushing pressure of society after retiring.
Today,I want to talk about Zou Chunlan, a former weightlifting champion.
On October 8, 1971, Zou Chunlan was born in Shancheng Town, Meihekou City, Jilin Province.
When she was a child, Zou Chunlan's family was very poor, and her parents sent her to the juvenile sports school.
It is said that the children of the poor have long been in charge, and Zou Chunlan is no exception.
For some children from poor families, parents can't afford their children's tuition, and being an athlete is almost the only way for them to escape their fate.
Because Zou Chunlan was quite talented in weightlifting, the teacher suggested that she join the women's weightlifting team.
And Zou Chunlan himself did live up to expectations, and it didn't take long to achieve excellent results.
In June 1987, at the age of 20, Zou Chunlan entered the Jilin Provincial First Sports Team and became an official athlete.
Since then, she has begun her brilliant career.
In September of the year he entered the Jilin Provincial Sports Team, Zou Chunlan participated in the National Weightlifting Championships and won the second place in the snatch and the first place in the deadlift.
In the autumn of 1988, Zou Chunlan participated in the National Weightlifting Championships again and won three gold medals in the 44 kg category of snatching, deadlifting and overall results.
What's even more amazing is that her standing and overall results broke the world record.
Zou Chunlan's peak was in 1990, when she won the National Weightlifting Championships, breaking the national record in the 48 kg category.
Zou Chunlan's athlete career can be said to be invincible, but behind the great success, it is the loss of healthy training, and the injuries that eventually destroy Zou Chunlan.
In 1993, Zou Chunlan participated in the 7th National Games, and the old injury on the field recurred, resulting in the loss of the game.
This was the only match in which Zou Chunlan did not win a medal.
Probably considering that his physical condition could no longer support weightlifting, Zou Chunlan chose to retire after the failure.
From 1987 to 1993, Zou Chunlan won more than 20 gold medals.
Ironically, such success did not give Zou Chunlan a better life, but the miserable life after retiring attracted the attention of the public.
After retiring, Zou Chunlan has always hoped that the sports team can assign her a job.
However, because she began practicing sports since she was a child, Zou Chunlan had almost no culture, and the work was delayed.
During that time, Zou Chunlan was doing miscellaneous work in the canteen of the sports team.
Such a day lasted until 2000, one day, Zou Chunlan's heart and mind of the work did not look forward to, the leader sent Zou Chunlan with a sentence "you can't find your job".
With the 75,000 injury compensation given to her by the sports team, Zou Chunlan did not know where to go for a while.
Later, Zou Chunlan moved sand and opened a shop, but because it was not the material for doing business, she quickly lost a lot of money.
The 80,000 yuan that she had received was finally consumed, and Zou Chunlan fell into an economic crisis.
Finally, forced to do so, Zou Lanfang worked as a bather in a bathhouse.
When the bather's life is not good, Zou Chunlan rubs a person to collect 3 pieces, and he can only get one piece of five.
In order to get more money, Zou Chunlan worked very hard, rubbing up to 40 people a day, so tired that she couldn't even walk.
Even with such hard work, Zou Chunlan still earned less than 500 yuan a month.
At first, I didn't feel bitter as an athlete, but now I am tired and tired, and Zou Chunlan sometimes complains about the unfair fate.
It wasn't until 2005, after Zou Chunlan worked in the bathhouse for two years, that a customer recognized her as the weightlifting champion of the year.
The news that "the weightlifting champion has become a bather" has spread ten or ten hundred times, which has aroused the media to report on it.
After being in the newspaper, Zou Chunlan's encounter attracted a lot of attention, and people felt sorry for her, so they extended a helping hand from all directions.
In 2006, with the help of the All-China Women's Federation and the Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau, Zou Chunlan opened a dry cleaning shop.
Although Zou Chunlan has suffered setbacks at work, her feelings have always been smooth.
When she was still opening a store, Zou Chunlan met her later husband Zhou Shaocheng under the introduction of friends.
At that time, Zhou Shaocheng was influenced by Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple" and ran to the temple to become a monk.
Zhou Shaocheng's sister often went to Zou Chunlan's shop as a guest, and became friends with Zou Chunlan when she came and went.
With the help of his sister, Zhou Shaocheng met Zou Chunlan.
Since then, it has won the heart of Zou Chunlan.
Therefore, his sister, his family and Zou Chunlan took turns to call Zhou Shaocheng, forcing Zhou Shaocheng to have a heart, thinking", "If you are still vulgar, you will return the vulgarity."
So he went down the mountain and married Zou Chunlan.
Although the days after marriage were poor, the husband and wife worked together to support each other in difficult days.
Although the major events of life have been settled, there is still a threshold in Zou Chunlan's heart that cannot be passed.
When she was in the sports team, the coach had been tricking her into taking a medicine called vigorous supplementation for the sake of results.
This drug can stimulate the body to secrete male hormones, has long been listed as a contraband,
However, the coach told Zou Chunlan to eat with confidence, and Zou Chunlan did not doubt that he had him, but just took it as required.
Over time, the male hormones in Zou Chunlan's body even exceeded those of men, and her male signs became more and more obvious.
Every time before going out, Zou Chunlan had to pull out her beard one by one in front of the mirror.
In her marriage to Zhou Shaocheng, Zou Chunlan was treated as a man more than once, and she was very unhappy in her heart.
So, she wrote a blog post on her blog titled "I Want to Be A Little Feminine", revealing her desire for "daughter body" for many years.
I haven't worn a skirt since I became an athlete, and everything related to a woman's beauty has to stand on the side, and now if I don't have a beard or leg hair, like a normal woman, I wear a beautiful dress, and I am very satisfied. ”
After the article was posted on the Internet, it received a lot of attention.
At the invitation of a plastic surgery and beauty hospital, Zou Chunlan went to Chongqing to do plastic surgery, and finally, Zou Chunlan fulfilled her wish to "be a woman".
After completing so many wishes, in Zou Chunlan's heart, there is still one thing that she regrets in her life.
Zou Chunlan has always hoped to give birth to a child, but her body has lost her fertility forever due to the disorder of taking medicine.
Fortunately, for Zou Chunlan, so many ups and downs have passed, and now she is already very happy.
Today, the Zou Chunlan family has slowly faded out of the public eye and returned to their own lives.
May the fate of the future never fail her, and from now on, she and her husband will spend the rest of their lives together.
