Zhu Fangyu's basketball career began with the guidance of his father. When Zhu Fangyu was young, his father was not a basketball player, but he had a deep love for the sport. It was this love that brought Zhu Fangyu into contact with basketball since she was a child and gradually fell in love with the sport.
In 1993, the god of fate favored this gifted teenager. Su Guopei, the basketball coach of Guangxi Sports School, came to the school to select talents, and fell in love with Zhu Fangyu, who was athletic on the court.
In addition to his outstanding ball skills, Zhu Fangyu's height is also very impressive, and his bone age shows that he is expected to grow to 2 meters. In this way, Zhu Fangyu embarked on the road of professional basketball. However, talent doesn't mean it's all smooth sailing.
Zhu Fangyu, who is still young, often seems loose in training. Fortunately, under the patient teaching of the coach and parents, Zhu Fangyu gradually realized the importance of hard work and began to take every training seriously.
After several years of hard work, Zhu Fangyu's performance has become better and better, and his basketball skills far exceed those of his peers. In 1998, 15-year-old Zhu Fangyu was favored by the Guangxi men's basketball team and quickly gained a firm foothold in the team.
However, Zhu Fangyu's father felt that this platform was still too small and not conducive to his son's long-term development. Under the recommendation of his father's friend, Zhu Fangyu joined the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team.
This step opened a new chapter in his career. Zhu Fangyu's growth rate is amazing, and he has been promoted to the first team of Hongyuan in less than a year. Under the guidance of Coach Li Chunjiang, the Hongyuan team with Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng as the core has opened a glorious era.
In 2001, Zhu Fangyu hit 9 three-pointers in one fell swoop in the game against Liaoning, setting a personal single-game record. In the 2003-04 season, he helped Guangdong Hongyuan win the first championship in team history.
Since then, Zhu Fangyu has led the team to win the CBA championship 8 times, and has been selected to the All-Star team 13 times, becoming the first "Mr. 10,000 points" in the CBA. On the international stage, he represented his country at three Olympic Games: Athens, Beijing and London.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, 21-year-old Zhu Fangyu helped the Chinese men's basketball team return to the top eight in the Olympic Games and became famous. Zhu Fangyu used his strength to prove that he is worthy of the reputation of "the first person in the history of the CBA".
The 2004 Athens Olympics was not only an important milestone in Zhu Fangyu's basketball career, but also a turning point in his life. At the closing ceremony, 21-year-old Zhu Fangyu met 16-year-old gymnastics goddess Hu Mei, and this encounter became the beginning of their love story.
At the closing ceremony, Hu Meizheng and Yi Jian jointly filmed, and Zhu Fangyu quietly slipped over. Hu Mei kindly invited him to take pictures together, but she didn't know that this seemingly ordinary act was a prologue to their love story.
Zhu Fangyu fell in love with Hu Mei at first sight and immediately launched a passionate pursuit. On the plane back to China, he deliberately sat next to Hu Mei. However, although Hu Mei, who is still young, is a little shy, she doesn't "cold" Zhu Fangyu very much.
In her eyes, Zhu Fangyu's appearance is not outstanding, and she has no idea of falling in love with him. But Zhu Fangyu was not discouraged. After returning to China, he launched a new round of fierce offensive against Hu Mei.
He often gave gifts to Hu Mei and comforted and encouraged her when she was sad. Zhu Fangyu's sincerity and thoughtfulness slowly melted Hu Mei's defense. As Hu Mei later recalled: "At first, I thought Zhu Fangyu's appearance was not very good, but after getting along, I felt that he was an honest person who could be entrusted with his life."
Zhu Fangyu's persistence has finally paid off. With his unremitting efforts, Hu Mei was moved by his sincerity, and the two finally came together. This love, which began in the Olympic arena, is as romantic as a fairy tale.
However, their romance was not all smooth sailing. As public figures, their love lives are in the spotlight and they are also facing a lot of pressure. But at this time, Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei are immersed in the sweetness of love and are full of confidence to meet the challenges of the future.
Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei's love road is full of sweetness, but it is also difficult. As public figures, their love lives are in the spotlight and at the same time under a lot of pressure.
After the relationship was made public, some of Zhu Fangyu's fans did not approve of the relationship. They launched an attack on Hu Mei online, believing that she was not worthy of Zhu Fangyu. In the face of such online violence, Hu Mei once had the idea of retreating.
However, Zhu Fangyu has always stood firmly by Hu Mei's side and given her unlimited support and encouragement. Accompanied by Zhu Fangyu, Hu Mei finally overcame these pressures and persevered.
The long-distance relationship also brought a test to the relationship between the two. Zhu Fangyu trains in Dongguan, while Hu Mei is in Shenzhen. In order to maintain her relationship, Hu Mei often rushed to Dongguan to see Zhu Fangyu after training, and hurried back to Shenzhen early the next morning to continue training.
During this period, Hu Mei's commuting expenses were surprisingly high, and she even spent 6,000 yuan a month. Despite this, Hu Mei said that she enjoyed it, and this dedication made her feel the sweetness of love.
In 2005, Hu Mei entered Beijing Sport University after retiring from the army. In order to get closer to Zhu Fangyu, she came up with the idea of transferring to Sun Yat-sen University. However, the process was not smooth.
Hu Mei went back and forth for more than half a year, but no substantial progress was made. During this low period, Zhu Fangyu was by her side as always, giving her support and encouragement.
Zhu Fangyu's company made Hu Mei feel warm, and it also made her more firm in her belief in this relationship. After so many twists and turns, Hu Mei became more and more convinced that Zhu Fangyu was the person she would stay with for the rest of her life.
In 2007, the two finally achieved positive results and received a marriage certificate. The following year, they held a grand wedding, which attracted 40 mainstream media outlets, and almost half of the people came to congratulate them.
At the wedding, Zhu Fangyu said affectionately: "I will get married once in my life, and it is enough to have Hu Mei by my side." Hu Mei also responded sweetly: "Being able to marry Zhu Fangyu is the greatest happiness in my life."
The combination of this golden boy and girl has made countless netizens rejoice. However, no one expected that this seemingly perfect marriage would usher in a huge challenge soon after.
Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei's married life began with sweetness. Soon after their marriage, they were happy to have a noble son and welcomed two sons one after another. The family of four seems to be happy and happy, but there is a crisis hidden under this calm surface.
In 2014, a Weibo post from Hu Mei unveiled an unknown scene in their marriage. It turned out that Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei had quietly divorced a year ago. Hu Mei wrote angrily on social platforms: "You can't find ugly when looking for a man, because he is not only ugly, but also careful."
These words pushed Zhu Fangyu, who had just won the title of "Mr. Ten Thousand Points", to the forefront of public opinion. When the reporter asked why Hu Mei only made it public now, she replied that it was because of the child.
Hu Mei accused Zhu Fangyu of ignoring her youngest son and failing to fulfill her father's responsibilities. What's even more shocking is that Hu Mei also broke the news that Zhu Fangyu "cheated in marriage". Although Hu Mei did not name him directly, netizens soon discovered that the so-called "third party" was suspected to be Tang Ziqiao, the rumored girlfriend who was photographed in 2012.
Hu Mei said that when she first learned the news of Zhu Fangyu's "derailment", she thought about forgiveness. But in the end, she couldn't accept such a betrayal, and in disappointment after disappointment, her relationship with Zhu Fangyu broke down completely.
The accusation of "cheating in marriage" and the evaluation of "failing to fulfill his father's responsibility" made Zhu Fangyu fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. He was once known as a basketball icon, but now he has become the object of public criticism.
In the face of surging public opinion, Zhu Fangyu finally chose to respond. He said, "Wrong is real, and love is real." This sentence not only admits his mistakes, but also expresses his insistence on new feelings.
This brief response seems to hint at more inside information, and it also draws a vague end to this marriage change. This marriage change is embarrassing. What was once a sweet promise is now in vain.
The marriage of Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei, from a vigorous start to a helpless end, has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner. It is not only a gossip about a celebrity's marriage, but also a deep reflection on marriage, fidelity and responsibility.
After the marriage turmoil, Zhu Fangyu soon opened a new chapter in her life. In 2015, he tied the knot with Tang Ziqiao. This woman, known as the "daughter of a rich family", became Zhu Fangyu's second wife.
Although there are many speculations and discussions about this marriage, Zhu Fangyu seems to have found new happiness. A year after getting married, Zhu Fangyu and Tang Ziqiao were happy to have a noble son and formed a new family.
This hard-won little life has added new vitality and hope to their marriage. Zhu Fangyu seems to have found peace and happiness in her new family and started a different life from before.
In 2017, Zhu Fangyu announced his retirement, ending his brilliant basketball career. This decision marked another important turning point in his life. After retiring, Zhu Fangyu did not stay away from basketball, but chose a new role to continue to contribute to the basketball career.
He took on the role of General Manager of Guangdong Hongyuan Club and began a new phase of his career. This new role gave Zhu Fangyu more time to spend with her family. From a star player on the court to a behind-the-scenes manager, Zhu Fangyu's role change has also given him more opportunities to balance career and family.
In his new role, he still brought glory to the Guangdong team, helping the team win three championship rings. Now, Zhu Fangyu and Tang Ziqiao's marriage has gone through 8 years.
Life for a family of four seems to be harmonious and happy. Zhu Fangyu not only found a balance in family life, but also continued to shine in her career. On November 8, 2023, he also participated in the International Basketball Expo, showing his love and devotion to basketball after retiring.
At the same time, Hu Mei chose to live alone, raising two children by herself. Despite the failure of her marriage, she seems to be looking for her own path to happiness.
Zhu Fangyu's life experience, from the bright star on the basketball court to the twists and turns of marriage, and then to the current stable life, seems to be a life script with ups and downs. His story not only shows the growth of an athlete, but also reflects the challenges and choices in life.
Looking back on Zhu Fangyu's basketball career, his achievements are undoubtedly brilliant. He was named the MVP of the CBA Finals 4 times, was selected to the All-Star team 13 times, and became the CBA's first "Mr. 10,000 Points", all of which are testaments to his outstanding performance on the basketball court.
Zhu Fangyu is not only the hero of the Guangdong Hongyuan team, but also a banner of Chinese basketball. However, when we turned our attention from the circle to Zhu Fangyu's private life, we found an image full of controversy.
His marriage experience is like a "dog blood" series, from the sweetness with the "goddess of gymnastics" Hu Mei to the final parting of ways, and then to the newlywed life with "Bai Fumei" Tang Ziqiao, Zhu Fangyu's emotional world seems to be in stark contrast to his stable performance on the court.
The experience also provoked reflections on marriage, fidelity, and responsibility. Zhu's story reminds us that even celebrities in the spotlight can face the emotional distress and marital crises that ordinary people experience.
It teaches us that maintaining a healthy relationship requires the joint efforts and cherishing of both parties. Now, Zhu Fangyu seems to have found a new balance. He continues to use his talents in basketball management positions, while also playing the role of husband and father in family life.
And Hu Mei chooses to face life alone, raising children and pursuing happiness in her own way. Zhu Fangyu's story is not only a basketball star's growth legend, but also a true portrayal of the ups and downs of ordinary people in love and marriage.
It reminds us that whether in our career or in our relationship, we need to manage with our hearts, cherish the moment, and be responsible for our choices. From a small town in Guangxi to the CBA arena, and then to today's management position, Zhu Fangyu's life trajectory shows the all-round growth of an athlete.
His experience teaches us that life is not only about brilliance, but also about setbacks and choices. In the end, how to find a balance between career and family, how to face the past and cherish the present, is the true meaning of life.
