Olympic champion Li Fabin reached the top again, but because of an unexpected turmoil, the sports world was jumped! The evergreen in the weightlifting world not only achieved great results on the field, but also staged an emotional drama off the field.
A controversy about the "vegetable seller" made the gold medalist's private life instantly become a thorn in the side of public opinion. Who is fishing in troubled waters? Let's take a look at the story behind this!
The turmoil behind the gold medal
At the Paris Olympics, Li Fabin once again dominated the men's 61kg weightlifting event.
The two-time Olympic champion proved himself to be the undisputed king of his class with a total of 310kg.
However, just as the whole country was cheering for him, a storm swept quietly.
Some netizens broke the news that Li Fabin's wife Tang Kaili is a "vegetable seller", which seems to be an ordinary professional description, but it has caused an uproar on the Internet.
Some people questioned: how could the wife of an Olympic champion do such an "inferior" job? There are also people who are yin and yang: Is it that Li Fabin treats his wife badly?
For a time, all kinds of speculations flew all over the sky, and the married life of Li Fabin and his wife became the gossip material for everyone. This turmoil is even heavier than the barbell lifted by Li Fabin!
The domineering response shows the truth
In the face of the flood of doubts, Li Fabin did not choose to hide behind the gold medal as a shrinking turtle.
He posted a heartfelt statement on social media that not only clarified the facts, but also showed his responsibility as a husband and son.
"There are many people on the Internet who describe my wife as a vegetable seller, which I don't think is appropriate. My wife is not a greengrocer, she has her own job. But my parents are grocery buyers, and I usually don't care about the family, so my wife helps my parents do some things. "
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused crazy praise from netizens.
Everyone praised Li Fabin: Don't forget your roots and respect your parents' profession, this is the real Olympic champion!
Some people also praised Tang Kaili: filial piety and virtuousness, it is simply a model of contemporary "virtuous help"!
An incident that could have evolved into a "nuclear explosion" of public opinion, because of Li Fabin's timely response and sincere attitude, instead became a "dog food scene" to show the couple's love.
The romantic past of acquaintance and acquaintance
Let's rewind time to the moment when Li Fabin and Tang Kaili met.
In 2012, Tang Kaili, who was in her youth, met Li Fabin who came to transfer training in a county.
With her admiration for sports stars, she plucked up the courage to ask for an autograph. Who would have thought that this chance encounter would become the beginning of the love between the two.
Tang Kaili still clearly remembers that Li Fabin had a pair of very beautiful eyes at that time. These eyes, as if they had magical powers, fascinated her deeply.
Since then, the two have been in an 8-year long-distance relationship.
Although there is less gathering and more separation, Li Fabin has never forgotten his girlfriend. Every time he goes out to compete, he will report to Tang Kaili as soon as possible, and he always does not forget to bring some local specialties back.
This weightlifter, who seems to be an iron man, shows a tender side in the face of love. It's just an "infatuated man in the weightlifting world"!
The test and triumph of love
As Li Fabin's results in the arena got better and better, Tang Kaili began to waver in this relationship.
She felt that she was not worthy of this world champion who was about to go to a higher stage, and even proposed to break up at one point.
However, Li Fabin firmly expressed his disagreement and proved his sincerity with practical actions. Isn't this kind of persistence the most beautiful appearance of love?
At the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Li Fabin won his first Olympic gold medal as he wished.
In his post-match interview, he said emotionally:
"I would like to give this gold medal to my girlfriend and thank her for her support and companionship over the years."
These words not only moved the audience, but also made Tang Kaili, who was far away from her hometown, cry. At this moment, it is as if all the waiting and dedication have been rewarded in the best.
At the end of that year, the two finally achieved positive results and received a marriage certificate. Tang Kaili said in an interview after marriage:
"Although I am ordinary, I will go down with him."
This simple and unpretentious sentence shows her cherishing and determination for this relationship. It's a realistic version of "holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son"!
A test of true love in the midst of turmoil
Now, Li Fabin, who is standing on the Olympic podium again, still does not forget to thank his wife for her dedication. In an interview, he said:
"Today's achievements are inseparable from the support of my family, especially my wife. She has been working quietly to take care of my family so that I can devote myself to training. "
This "vegetable vendor" turmoil inadvertently also let the public see the sincere feelings between the couple.
Li Fabin not only did not feel ashamed of his wife's ordinary background, but was proud of her kindness and filial piety. His attitude has also won praise from countless netizens.
Some netizens commented: "This is the real Olympic champion, not only with strength, but also with character." "
Another said: "The story of Li Fabin and his wife is more touching than the gold medal he lifted." "
Occupational discrimination? No kidding!
However, the turmoil has also raised questions about occupational discrimination.
Why is the term "greengroser" perceived as derogatory by some? Is it true that a profession that works hard and earns money with your hands is inferior?
In this regard, Li Fabin emphasized in his statement:
"No matter what profession it is, as long as you create value with your own hands, you deserve to be respected."
These words are not only a maintenance of his wife, but also an affirmation of all ordinary workers. This is the real "national husband"!
In fact, Li Fabin himself was born in an ordinary family. When he was a child, he also followed his parents to set up a stall to sell vegetables.
It is this experience that makes him deeply aware of the hard work behind every career. Because of this, when he became an Olympic champion, he still maintained his respect and gratitude for ordinary workers.
The triumph of love
After this turmoil, the relationship between Li Fabin and his wife seems to have become stronger.
Tang Kaili posted a bouquet of flowers given to her by her husband on social media, with the caption:
"No matter what the outside world says, you will always be my hero."
This sweet interaction made netizens say that they were spilled by dog food. Where is this "vegetable seller", it is clearly a "master of sprinkling dog food"!
Reflection and outlook
However, this incident also makes one wonder: why do athletes' private lives always become the focus of public attention? Should they be given more respect and privacy?
Sports commentator Wang Ming said in an interview:
"Athletes are also ordinary people, and they have the right to live the life they want. We should focus more on their performances than on their personal affairs. "
At the same time, the incident also reflects some of the problems that exist in the current social media environment.
Some experts pointed out that online violence and occupational discrimination are still widespread, and the whole society needs to work together to improve the online environment. After all, the "combat effectiveness" of keyboard warriors is no lighter than the barbell lifted by Li Fabin!
So, will this turmoil have any impact on Li Fabin's career?
Some people in the sports world believe that the way Li Fabin handled the incident showed his good psychological quality and personal accomplishment, which may win him more supporters. It seems that this "crisis" has become his "turning point"!
The future is promising
Looking ahead, the 34-year-old Li Fabin is already an "old" athlete, but he said he has no plans to retire.
"As long as my body allows, I will continue to win glory for the country,"
He said this in an interview. And for family life, he also has a new plan:
"I hope to spend more time with my family, especially my wife. She has done so much for me, and it's time for me to repay her. "
Although the "vegetable vendor" turmoil has temporarily subsided, the topics it has raised about professional equality and privacy protection are still fermenting.
Perhaps, this is the new challenge for sports stars: how to stay in the spotlight and succeed without forgetting their roots.
In any case, Li Fabin proved with his actions that a true champion is not only invincible on the field, but also shows an admirable character in life.
And that's probably more valuable than any gold medal. After all, life is not only a victory on the field, but also a little bit of life!
