Born in an ordinary family
As a former Asian flyer, Liu Xiang has left a deep impression on countless sports enthusiasts. From a naughty "leather monkey" boy to a track and field athlete who has repeatedly created miracles on the field.
Liu Xiang used his life experience to interpret the sportsman spirit of tenacity, hard work and never giving up. Let's take a look back at his upbringing. Liu Xiang was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai.
His father, Liu Degen, was a worker, and his mother, Zhang Guixiang, was a nurse. As the only child in the family, Liu Xiang has been lively and active since he was a child, and he is often criticized by teachers for being too naughty at school.
Seeing that their son's exuberant energy had nowhere to vent, his parents decided to let him enter the world of sports. Liu Xiang entered the Shanghai Youth Amateur Sports School and began to practice track and field. This decision injected new impetus into his future life trajectory.
After entering the sports school, Liu Xiang met the coach Sun Haiping, who changed his fate. Sun Haiping is a strict and serious coach who has very high requirements for his athletes. He discovered the huge potential contained in Liu Xiang, and began the mentoring and apprenticeship career of the two.
Sun Haiping used a variety of special training methods, including fabricating some higher data to motivate Liu Xiang. Under his guidance, Liu Xiang achieved impressive results in a very short period of time and became one of the best hurdlers of his time.
After reaching the top of the world, he retired due to injury
Liu Xiang broke the Asian record at the Duisburg Indoor Championships in Germany and made a splash. At the Athens Olympics, he won the gold medal of the host country with his amazing heat refraction and was dubbed the "Asian Flying Man". All of this comes from his hard training from childhood to adulthood.
At the Beijing Olympics, everyone has high expectations for Liu Xiang. However, during the pre-match warm-up, he injured his left foot and eventually had no choice but to retire. This result has caused an uproar in public opinion, and countless people are worried about it. Liu Xiang also fell into great mental pressure.
In the London Olympics, Liu Xiang, who had already passed the year, once again missed the competition. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, who is physically and mentally exhausted. Liu Xiang, who was once on the verge of retirement, gritted his teeth and insisted, and finally officially announced his retirement.
As a result, the former "Asian Flying Man" drew another new end to his life.
Emotional twists and turns, a new direction for the career
After retiring, Liu Xiang's love life has also experienced many ups and downs. He registered his marriage with Ge Tian, who was a few years younger, which caused shock to the outside world. But the marriage lasted only a short time before the parties parted ways.
Soon after, Liu Xiang re-established himself with his first girlfriend for many years, Wu Sha, who was also a track and field athlete, and the two got married in a low-key manner. They have been married for many years, and they have been living a stable and happy life, but they have never planned to have children.
After retiring, Liu Xiang did not rush to find a new job, but chose to enjoy life. He owned a number of mansions worth tens of millions, often traveled around with his wife, and lived a prosperous life.
Liu Xiang invited some friends on his birthday. They ordered extravagant delicacies such as caviar at the scene, and it is not difficult to see that he is now living a carefree life. Despite the pain and doubts, Liu Xiang seems to have completely let go of the past and regained his happiness.
As the "Asian Flyer" who dominated the arena back then, he used his life to witness the power of tenacious struggle, and also painted a magnificent picture for us to pursue our dreams and never give up.
Looking to the future, Dink Life is bliss
Although he has been retired for many years, Liu Xiang's love for sports has not waned. He began to make suggestions for the development of China's track and field industry, hoping to contribute to the sports cause of the motherland.
Life after retirement seems ordinary, but for Liu Xiang, it may be the tranquility and stability he has longed for. As a professional athlete, he has been under unimaginable pressure.
The regret of retiring due to injury at the Beijing Olympics still makes him difficult to let go. But now, he seems to have forgotten those past setbacks.
And their fate can be traced back to their careers as athletes. At that time, Liu Xiang was a rising hurdler among China's rising stars, while Wu Sha was the leader of the women's pole vault in China.
The two are both in the world of sports and have a sense of admiration for each other. It's a pity that due to the careers of both parties, the two had to be separated. In the end, they chose to break up and fought alone on the field.
But the love and attachment that Wen existed in his heart never disappeared in the hearts of the two. Now Liu Xiang and Wu Sha are still like glue and love. They often post sweet daily routines on social media, which arouses the envy and praise of the majority of netizens.
Whether it is competing on the field or in life, this pair of golden boys and girls in the sports world has interpreted a commendable relationship with their lives. They resolved the regret of separation and reunion, and finally walked hand in hand to the peaceful distance of life.
He often shares his warm daily life with his wife Wu Sha on social media, sometimes the two of them play games at home, sometimes they go out to travel, and they seem to be very loving and happy.
"Let the past pass, my biggest wish now is to live a good life." In an interview, Liu Xiang admitted that he has let go of a lot of obsessions, "As long as we have my wife by our side, we are already very content." "
In fact, Liu Xiang and his wife Wu Sha have never planned to have children, which has aroused widespread concern from the outside world. In this regard, Liu Xiang did not explain too much, but said lightly: "When we want it, we will naturally have it." Now we're going to enjoy the world for two. "
From these words, it can be seen how content Liu Xiang is with the status quo. For the former "Asian Flyer", life after retirement may be uneventful, but it is the stability he has been waiting for for a long time.
Let go of all the glory and regret of the past, and live only for the happy life of himself and his wife. This is probably Liu Xiang's life ideal in the end.
Since he was a child, he has been questioned in the track and field field, and his love life has twists and turns, and now he can finally live a peaceful and stable life.
Whether he is devoting himself to sports and athletics, engaging in emerging industries, or living a life like an idle cloud and a wild crane, Liu Xiang's life after retirement can be described as unique. Some say he is gone, but others say he has found a new way out.
In any case, I believe that Liu Xiang will definitely write a new wonderful chapter for himself. Let's wait and see what kind of wave this former "Asian Flyer" will set off on the new track!
