In the early hours of yesterday, in the men's 20-kilometer race walk event at the Rio Olympics, Wang Zhen, a famous player in Heilongjiang Province, finally won a valuable gold medal after a long course of 1 hour, 19 minutes and 14 seconds. This is the first gold medal won by the Chinese delegation in the athletics event of this Olympic Games, and the fifth summer Olympic gold medal won by Heilongjiang Province. His teammate Tsai Zelin won the silver medal.
Wang Zhen's game yesterday was not smooth. In the early five minutes of the race, he was stepped on by the player next to him and had to go out of the competition area to lift the shoes, which seriously affected the rhythm and results of the game. However, after lifting his shoes from outside the competition area, Wang Zhen immediately returned to the team and adjusted his mood to continue the tense game.
Wang Zhen was born in 1991 in Suihua City, Our Province, and now lives in Daqing. He was first selected for the National Men's Walking Team in 2010. In May 2012 he won his first world championship in the men's 20 km at the International Race Walking World Cup. He then won the bronze medal in the men's 20km race walk at the London Olympics. Sandro Damilano, a famous Italian coach who has coached Wang Zhen since 2009, believes that Wang Zhen's speed and endurance are world-class, especially the speed is the best among the athletes he has brought.
Five hours after Winning the Championship in Wang Zhen, a reporter from the New Evening News went to his home in Daqing.

Wang Zhen's wife, Liu Jia
In 2013, as a teammate of Liu Jia's sister-in-law, Wang Zhen visited and appeared at Liu Jia's home. At that time, the shy Wang Zhen did not dare to look at Liu Jia more, in his eyes, this beautiful girl was simply beautiful to him. After Liu Jia saw the down-to-earth Wang Zhen, she learned from her family that this young man had come to this day by relying on his own efforts since he was a child, and he couldn't help but feel a little good about him in his heart.
After meeting several times, the two young men established a relationship. Liu Jia said that Wang Zhen's down-to-earth and responsible attitude towards her family made her firmly believe that this was the man she was destined to accompany her for the rest of her life.
Wang Zhen's wife and daughter
Because Wang Zhen has been training in Italy for many years, the two young people have to use WeChat videos to pour out their thoughts about each other, and most of Liu Jia's mobile phone traffic is also used here. In the chat, Wang Zhen would always casually say that today's training had broken a pair of running shoes, and by chance, Liu Jia told him not to throw away the broken shoes, she would stay as a souvenir.
The medals of various competitions are the epitome of Wang Zhen's sports career
Wang Zhen, who had finished the training camp, returned to China and brought all kinds of broken training shoes to Liu Jia. Some have worn out the bottom, some have broken the upper, and some have been worn out. Liu Jia saw the shoes crying, she knew that Wang Zhen was tired of training, but she really didn't expect it to be so "miserable"! It is also these few pairs of shoes that have become a promise of love for the two people, allowing Liu Jia to save it to this day.
In Liu Jia's eyes, her husband is not a person who is willing to express himself, and his commitment to his family is expressed in action. "He's very homesick, and every time he comes home after a training game, he comes home as soon as possible, which makes me very moved." Liu Jia said that she does not care about sweet words, does not care about romance, in her heart always understands that in the heart of Wang Zhen, who does not love to express, the family always occupies the most important position.
Now, Liu Jia, who is 5 and a half months pregnant, is about to usher in her and Wang Zhen's second love crystal. She said that she has always believed that her husband can win in Rio, and in the next few days, she hopes that Wang Zhen can accompany her family and usher in the arrival of her second child together.

Yesterday in front of the TV, Wang Zhen's mother heard the news of Wang Zhen's victory with her ears. "At that time, I didn't dare to watch it at all, and I didn't watch TV at all for the first 15 kilometers, until he and Cai Zelin walked to the front of the big troops, and I only glanced at the TV and knew that he was ahead!"
"After winning the bronze medal in 2012, I hope he will retire and become a soldier, so that he can spend more time with his family." Chen Yahong said that in her heart, she always did not approve of her son practicing sports, too bitter, and could not bear to look at.

18 months daughter
Wang Zhen's daughter is 18 months old, and she has only met her father 3 times.
In my daughter's memory, my father is the image that always appears in the video on the phone. When she sees her father in person, her daughter will always be like a stranger, subconsciously dodging, which makes Wang Zhen sad.
Yang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Provincial Sports Bureau, talked freely with Wang Zhen's family
Whenever someone asked her "where is Daddy", the little baby would point to the phone and babe. And yesterday morning, after the little girl saw the video of her father winning the championship on tv, she was first stunned, and then she pointed at the TV with her little finger and smiled and said "Daddy" to her mother! For a time, Wang Zhen's lover Liu Jiabai had mixed feelings.
Liu Jia said that she is very happy that her daughter can grow up healthy and happy, but she hopes that when the second child comes, Wang Zhen can have more time to spend with her family.
