Recently, the daughter of the late weightlifting champion Caili, Cai Jianhan, posted a late-night article calling for help, triggering heated discussion among netizens.
Cai Jianhan said that he and his mother had suffered from cancer and now needed to take medicine for many years. After the death of his father Caili, the mother and daughter received the help of the fund, and the sports committee also gave tens of thousands of yuan, but it was only a drop in the bucket. The mother and daughter's life is very poor, and the mother's health is getting worse and worse, and now she has 150,000 debts. She also said that only the mother's unit has been providing care over the years.
Earlier, She han also posted a plea for help on social platforms, and her mother once went to the mountain in the early morning to try to commit suicide, but was later found.
After netizens learned of this matter, some people said that they had won so many championships, where did the prize money go? Question where the bonuses go. Some netizens also said that weightlifters have no money, and have seen retired athletes go to the bath.
Caili was born in Liaoning Province, because his talent was discovered by the coach, and he got good results in the first weightlifting competition. He has won more than 40 national championships and more than 20 Asian championships in his lifetime, and has also broken the Asian deadlift record, been awarded first class merit by the country, and is also known as the first Hercules in Asia.
Due to the long years of weightlifting, the obese figure brought a lot of loads to the body, and he officially retired in 1998. After retiring, Caili was assigned to work as a security guard at the Liaoning Sports School, and his wife was also a retired weightlifter, and the two gave birth to a daughter. With the prominence of various sequelae, Caili's health became worse and worse, and he died of illness at the age of 33, when the family property was only 300 yuan.
Although Caili's life was short, he won many honors for the country. It is hoped that the relevant departments will pay attention to this matter and give proper care to the widows of the athletes to help them tide over the difficulties.
