At the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Shi Zhiyong participated in the 73kg weightlifting final, won the gold again, and set two world records. In July 2024, he will compete at the Olympics for the third time.
Shi Zhiyong was born in the countryside and experienced too many ups and downs and injuries to practice weightlifting. He and his wife Chen Xiaodan were childhood sweethearts, facing reporters, Shi Zhiyong said: Marrying a primary school classmate as a wife, I made a lot of money!

(Shi Zhiyong at the Tokyo Olympics)
Before entering the main text, there is one thing that needs to be explained about "Celebrity Details". In the mainland weightlifting world, there are two Olympic champions named Shi Zhiyong.
The first Shi Zhiyong, born in Longyan, Fujian Province in 1980, won the men's weightlifting 62kg championship at the Athens Olympics in 2004, and is now the president of Fujian Sports Vocational and Technical College.
The second Shi Zhiyong, born in Guilin, Guangxi Province in 1993, is now an athlete on the Chinese weightlifting team.
Interestingly, many foreigners often confuse the two of them, mistakenly believing that the "Shi Zhiyong" quoted on the uniforms represents "China's power, infinite strength". Today, "Celebrity Taste" is here to introduce you to the latter.
(Shi Zhiyong's hometown, Chongwei Village, Wutong Town, Guilin)
Shi Zhiyong, formerly known as Shi Lei, was born on October 10, 1993 in Chongwei Village, Wutong Town, Lingui District, Guilin City, Guangxi, and has a younger brother named Shi Xiaofeng.
Shi Zhiyong's father, Shi Qiaosheng, and his mother, Tang Xidi, are simple farmers who tend to more than 20 acres of paddy fields all year round.
When he was a child, Shi Zhiyong's arms and calves were thick and powerful, and he helped his mother carry more than 20 catties of rice before he entered elementary school. In 2000, Shi's family built a house, and 7-year-old Shi Zhiyong was like a little adult, busy helping his father move bricks, and he could support half a laborer.
Wutong Town is a well-known "weightlifting town" throughout the country, and has successively walked out of Xiao Mingxiang, Tang Lingsheng, Xiao Jiangang and other weightlifting champions since the 60s of the last century. The villagers all said that Shi Zhiyong has strength and is a good seedling for weightlifting.

Everyone guessed right, in 2001, Shi Zhiyong was just promoted to the third grade of primary school, and he was selected by weightlifting coach Xiao Shuanggui and selected him to Wutong Town Weightlifting School.
Before entering the school, Ishibashi asked his son with some distress: It is very hard to practice weightlifting, can you persevere?
Shi Zhiyong clenched his little fists and said: Yes, my strength is inexhaustible! Both parents were amused by him.
With outstanding talent and scientific training, Shi Zhiyong stood out among a group of team members and soon became a star member of Wutong Town Weightlifting School.

In 2006, Li Dongyu, the weightlifting coach of Ningbo Sports School in Zhejiang Province, returned to Guilin, Guangxi Province to visit relatives, and he came to Wutong Town Weightlifting School to visit in his spare time.
Among the many students, Li Dongyu fell in love with Shi Zhiyong, who had flexible limbs and strong explosiveness. Li Dongyu decided that he could practice, and immediately recruited Shi Zhiyong to Ningbo Sports School in Zhejiang Province to practice weightlifting.
In 2008, 15-year-old Shi Zhiyong was successfully selected into the Zhejiang Provincial Weightlifting Team with excellent results. Many people thought that his path to weightlifting would be smooth from now on, but this is far from the case.
Due to age, injuries and other factors, Shi Zhiyong missed many important games and performed mediocre in the team.

(Shi Zhiyong in the early years)
In 2012, the national weightlifting competition was held in Liuzhou, Guangxi, and Shi Zhiyong went with the team. Hearing the news, Shi Qiaosheng and his wife Tang Xidi were so excited that they bought tickets in advance and rushed to Liuzhou to cheer for their son.
When their son came on the field, the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Ishibashi rose to their throats. However, Shi Zhiyong was not in shape that day, and failed in all three clean and jerks, with a score of zero.
A series of setbacks made Shi Zhiyong question his own strength. Glancing at his anxious parents in the audience, his eyes were full of tears.
Walking off the field, my mother said to Shi Zhiyong distressedly: Weightlifting is too difficult, if you can't persevere, go home, as long as your father and I have food, I won't be hungry for you.
(Shi Zhiyong's mother)
Ishibashi interrupted his wife's words: Manhood is iron, manhood is steel, this setback of my son is nothing, the coach and I are optimistic about you.
At that moment, Shi Zhiyong realized that he was the pride of his parents and the pride of his hometown, and there was no reason to give up easily.
Since then, he has deliberately strengthened his jerk training, and often begged the coach to open a small stove for him. As long as the coach is not there in daily training, many students will reduce the intensity of training, but Shi Zhiyong is never lazy. Every day, Shi Zhiyong was the first to rush to the training hall and the last to leave.
The results of athletes have always been written with sweat, and Shi Zhiyong's ranking in the weightlifting team of Zhejiang Province has gradually climbed.
In 2014, Shi Zhiyong suffered a severe strain in his shoulder and leg muscles during training. Even so, he still limped and insisted on training, reluctant to leave the training hall.

Shi Zhiyong's tenacity and tenacity touched Zhan Xugang, a former Olympic champion and vice president of Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College. He invited experts from the national team to specifically treat Shi Zhiyong's injuries and conduct psychological counseling.
In April 2014, the National Men's Weightlifting Championship was held in Changsha, Hunan, which is one of the highest level of weightlifting events in China. Before the game, Zhan Xu just shook Shi Zhiyong's hand and encouraged him: Calm down, you can do it!
On April 27, Shi Zhiyong won the championship in the 69 kg final with a total score of 340 kg. Standing on the podium, he burst into tears.

In 2015, Zhan Xugang was promoted to deputy county magistrate of Sanmen County, Zhejiang Province. He firmly believes that Shi Zhiyong is a good seedling and has the potential to win the Olympic championship.
Now is a critical period for Shi Zhiyong's growth, and if he leaves the sports team and Shi Zhiyong, his sports prospects may be uncertain.
Zhan Xugang did not hesitate, decisively resigned from the post of deputy county magistrate of Sanmen County, and returned to Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College as the dean.
The grace of knowing is beyond repayment! Shi Zhiyong held his breath, he must practice to prove himself, repay his parents, return to his coach, and repay all those who care for him with excellent results.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of this day, relatives, neighbors, and villagers from Chongwei Village came to Shi Zhiyong's house early to accompany Shi Qiaosheng and his wife to watch the live broadcast of the Olympics.
On the TV, Shi Zhiyong roared and successfully lifted 190 kilograms. Facing the audience, he shouted domineeringly: "Who else! "Shi Zhiyong's total score reached 352 kilograms, and he successfully won the gold!

At that moment, Wuli Town was boiling, Guilin City was boiling, and firecrackers rang out in the streets and alleys to celebrate Shi Zhiyong's Olympic victory.
Shi Zhiyong's grandfather is over ninety years old, because Shi Zhiyong competes and trains all year round, he can't go home once a year, the old man thinks about his grandson, and asks when he meets people: Is my eldest grandson abducted by someone, you give me a real truth.
This matter reached Shi Zhiyong's ears, and his tears flowed down.

After returning from Rio, Shi Zhiyong took his grandfather and parents to Beijing for a tour. He accompanied his relatives to visit the Temple of Heaven, visited the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and led the three elders to eat delicious food and buy new clothes.
Grandpa proposed to go to Badaling to climb the Great Wall, and Shi Zhiyong immediately agreed. Many sections of the Great Wall are very steep, and Shi Zhiyong was worried that his grandfather would fall and be injured, so he carried his grandfather on his back and climbed the most dangerous "Haohan Slope".
Grandpa wiped a handful of old tears and said excitedly: I am a hero, and my grandson is also a hero! At that moment, Shi Zhiyong shed complicated tears.

This year, 23-year-old Shi Zhiyong not only won the Olympic crown, but also gained a sweet love.
In September of this year, Shi Zhiyong was sweating in the training hall when a familiar voice called his name. When the other party approached, Shi Zhiyong took a closer look, and she turned out to be his primary school classmate Chen Xiaodan.
Chen Xiaodan humorously asked: Am I qualified to interview you, the famous Olympic champion? "Hercules" Shi Zhiyong suddenly became a little shy.
When they were in the sixth grade at Ningbo Sports School, Shi Zhiyong was the class leader, and Chen Xiaodan served as the disciplinary committee, and she gave Shi Zhiyong many problems.

I haven't seen him for many years, Chen Xiaodan is pure and beautiful, and Shi Zhiyong's calmness and steadfastness are as good as before, and his words are never cloudy.
The interview was very successful, and under Chen Xiaodan's question, Shi Zhiyong told in detail about the ups and downs of his training competition, and the pride and joy after winning glory for the country.

Towards the end of the interview, Chen Xiaodan said: Let me ask you a personal question, are you in love? What kind of love do you yearn for?
Shi Zhiyong deliberately teased her: Not yet, I hope that my future girlfriend can have all your advantages, and I yearn for the love of my childhood sweetheart. As soon as he heard this, two smears of red glow flew up Chen Xiaodan's cheeks.
Since then, Shi Zhiyong and Chen Xiaodan have often communicated through WeChat and video.
