Table tennis Grand Slam winner Li Xiaoxia posted a video of herself in the same frame as her 3-year-old daughter Little Cherry, Li Xiaoxia gently asked her daughter what she wanted to be in the future, and Cherry milkily replied: "Like a mother, an Olympic champion!" After listening to her daughter's answer, Li Xiaoxia also showed a loving smile. A display case behind the mother and daughter is full of trophies.
Li Xiaoxia is the fourth Grand Slam winner of the women's team after Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, and she has participated in two consecutive Olympic Games in London in 2012 and Rio 2016, winning three golds and one silver. After the end of the Rio Olympics, Li Xiaoxia announced her withdrawal from the national team, and in the subsequent Table Tennis Super League, there was no racket to buy her, and she was in a situation where she had no ball to play, and finally Ai announced her official retirement on January 1, 2017. After retiring from the army, Li Xiaoxia married her boyfriend and Liaoning men's table tennis coach Zhai Yiming in August, and the two held a wedding in September.
After marriage, Li Xiaoxia did not leave table tennis, she set up the "Xia Travel Program" to promote table tennis among teenagers, this plan was once stranded because of her pregnancy and childbirth, but as her two daughters grew up, Li Xiaoxia also re-expected the plan. Li Xiaoxia also actively participates in various table tennis-related activities, using her influence to promote table tennis. Li Xiaoxia gave birth to two daughters in October 2018 and September 2020, and Li Xiaoxia spends most of her time caring for both daughters. Li Xiaoxia's husband Zhai Yiming is the coach of the Liaoning table tennis team, because to train the game, the time to take care of the family is not very much, Li Xiaoxia takes care of the family, let her husband rest assured to lead the team to train the game, but also because her husband is a first-line coach of table tennis, Li Xiaoxia bluntly said that she will not be a coach, because she does not want her two children to be taken care of.
However, both parents were once ping-pong players, and my mother was still a Grand Slam winner, which planted a seed in her daughter's heart early. Recently, Li Xiaoxia asked her eldest daughter Cherry about her dreams after growing up, and Cherry replied that she would become an Olympic champion like her mother. Li Xiaoxia said: "Don't ask, I don't know, it turns out that my family's cherry dream after growing up is this!" At the same time, she also said: "I don't know what kind of mood Cherry Daddy is in, hahaha!" It seems that Zhai Yiming does not want his daughter to take the road of professional table tennis, from a table tennis player to a table tennis coach, he knows too well that it takes a lot of effort to realize the dream of an Olympic champion.
