Weightlifting as an unpopular sport,
Unlike other sports that will give birth to many star athletes,
Many people are not remembered even if they have won glory for their country many times.
Once the first Hercules talent in Asia, many people do not know his existence,
In his lifetime, Caili has won more than 40 national championships and more than 20 Asian championships, and won more than 60 gold medals.
However, he died prematurely at the age of 33, and when he died, the whole family only had three hundred yuan left.
In 1970, Caili was born in Liaoning, and he was born older than other children.
Crying loudly, he was a big fat boy.
From a young age, the talent is stronger than that of its peers, and it should be too fat to be precise.
Other children have more than ten pounds, but he already has dozens of pounds.
When I was a few years old, I weighed more than a hundred, and I weighed two hundred pounds in my teens.
When he was in school, this big fat mound was often bullied, and the other children did not play with him and laughed at him.
Although the appearance of talent has grown into a fierce appearance,
But he never bullied others, and in the end he was still a little friend.
Often isolated talents are reluctant to go to school,
Because the conditions at home are not very good,
His parents simply let him drop out of school to help the family,
At that time, in the early eighties, the country began to vigorously develop sports,
As an emerging project, weightlifting is being selected nationwide.
One day a physical education teacher was passing through the field,
Seeing the figure of Caili, I think he is a good seedling for lifting weights.
Then the physical education teacher came to Cai's house,
Persuade his talented parents to enter sports school to practice weightlifting.
Parents who did not have much hope for their son's future,
Suddenly I felt that my son had a way out, and the sports school still packed food and housing,
There are also subsidies for athletes, and there are additional rewards after winning the awards.
Even if there is one less labor force in the family, it is cost-effective.
The parents of the cai family did not hesitate to send their son to the sports school,
Caili officially began to contact the sport of weight.
It turns out that although the weight of two hundred pounds makes it difficult for talent to move,
But it also brought him infinite power,
Talent, like his name, was born for this project.
At the age of 15, Caili participated in the national weightlifting competition for the first time.
And the participation is the largest class, more than 110 kg.
It was also the first national Youth Games, the first national weightlifting competition,
Caili won the first gold medal for Liaoning Province.
Talent became famous at a young age, becoming a seed player on the sports team,
It has also become the focus of coaching.
The diligent practice of talent, coupled with its own talent,
He quickly proved his position as the king of weightlifting with his achievements.
In the eight years of talent and weightlifting, he has won 40 national championships and 20 Asian championships.
With the reputation of the first Hercules in Asia.
At that time, caili was the pride of the sports team, and it was also the pride of Liaoning.
However, at the age of 23, his physical strength declined off a cliff.
Weightlifting is a sport that is very damaging to the body,
Although it seems to be a drumbeat,
But the bones and organs of the whole body are under pressure,
Some athletes even bleed from their internal organs after lifting weights.
And in the eighties and nineties, sports were not perfect,
For athletes the protection and nutrition training is not at today's level,
It is inevitable that athletes will be injured in training.
In the eight years of weightlifting, caili has consumed his own health,
His hands and neck have been operated on, and the thick cocoons that have been created from years of weightlifting have been removed.
He retired from the army with a body of pain and honors when he had just graduated from college.
However, the talent also has an additional gain, he met his wife Liu Chengju in the weightlifting team,
Two years younger than him, he is also a weightlifter.
Liu Chengju was also excavated into the weightlifting team at the age of 15.
But her grades are not as dazzling as her talents.
When Caili was 20 years old, he had already won many national championships,
Liu Chengju has just entered the provincial team,
When Caili retired, Liu Chengju finally won his first championship.
At that time, Liu Chengju was 22 years old and was a veteran of the team.
Even if you win the championship, you are no longer a seeded player,
So her sporting peak was even shorter.
Caili and Liu Chengju met in the provincial team compound,
After retiring from the military, they married, but the financial situation of the two was not good.
Perhaps the athletes who win glory for the country today will receive rewards from the province and the city,
Even there are houses, and there are many advertisements and businesses that come to the door to ask for endorsements.
But going back thirty years is not a thing.
After Caili and Liu Chengju married their father-in-law and mother-in-law,
There was also a cousin huddled together in a house of less than a hundred square meters.
After Liu Chengju retired from the army, he was assigned to a heating company as a laboratory inspector.
But the talent of the body is too fat, resulting in a lot of work can not be done,
Eventually, he became a janitor at the Provincial Sports Academy.
At this time, Caili's daughter was born, and the lives of the two were even more embarrassing,
In order to save money, Caili never took a car, but he crushed several bicycles.
At that time, the husband and wife had a total of one thousand and two monthly wages, all of which were kept by the wife.
He often did not have a penny on his body, and the credit account became a daily routine,
His credit records are recorded in the shops near his home and near the sports yard.
In addition to the economic embarrassment, the talent also suffered a double blow of mind and body.
From the weightlifting stars in the stadium to the doorman at the door,
Once when he won the championship, many leaders came to meet him.
He is the glory of the sports academy, with countless trophies and flowers.
And now all the treatment, honor, and worship are gone,
He stood guard at the door every day, and people who came and went would not look at him more,
In his twenties, he underwent a roller coaster descent.
At the same time, the body of the talent began to appear a variety of diseases,
He suffered from sleep temporary breathing syndrome, and sleep became the biggest hidden danger.
When I go to bed at night, I often fall asleep and fall asleep without breathing,
Wife Liu Chengju has developed the habit of light sleep,
I woke up many times a night to see if my husband's breathing was still there.
As soon as she can't hear her husband's breathing, she will wake up immediately.
Quickly put on a ventilator for him, and watch before he can recover his breathing before he can continue to sleep.
There are sleep disorders at night, and during the day, caili will inadvertently fall asleep,
Sometimes he was talking about the sky, and when he turned his head, he fell asleep,
In this case, his security work could not be done,
The burden of the whole family was on Liu Chengju alone.
Caili weighed three hundred pounds at that time,
He never wore socks for fear of sudden death when bending over.
At that time, the family was so poor that they could not afford to eat meat, and they ate it once in a while.
Cai Li vomited furiously, and his body already had a number of hidden diseases.
But he was so poor that he didn't even have the money to see a doctor.
Even if you go to the hospital, you only have the money for registration, and there is no money for hospitalization.
When He was thirty years old, the doctor said that he would die suddenly at any time.
Death and poverty became a curse that hung over a family of three.
In 2003, during the outbreak of SARS,
Tensions were raging across the country, as it is today.
And at this time, Caili's illness became more serious,
He was admitted to the hospital, but his parents came and did not see him.
The most terrible thing is that there are only three hundred dollars in the house.
His wife Liu Chengju went out to borrow money, and she borrowed eight hundred yuan.
Still isolated outside the door, not seeing her husband,
This hospitalization did not come out again.
In the last journey of Caili's life, he was very painful,
Dragging a heavy body, eating, sleeping are all affected,
Difficulty breathing, often vomiting, will be optimistic and cheerful he tortured to depression.
Cai Li quietly left, that year everyone remembered Zhong Nanshan,
That was the era of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui Bing Ping-Pong Twin Stars,
No one remembers a talent who once won 60 medals.
And because he was too poor, caili's ashes had been stored in the cemetery for 3 years.
Liu Chengju only scraped together tens of thousands of yuan to buy him a decent cemetery.
After the relevant departments learned of this matter, they also made a special tombstone for Cai Liding,
it is a sculpture in the shape of a barbell.
But the doom is not over,
Just this year, Liu Chengju suddenly used her daughter's Weibo to post a long article,
Tell the truth of the year, accusing the talented parents of hurting money and killing their husbands.
It turned out that after Caili died, Liu Chengju's mother and daughter had a very hard time.
She took her daughter back to her hometown and left Shenyang, where she had worked for many years.
Liu Chengju also weighed more than two hundred pounds, and was also plagued by diseases.
She suffers from myocarditis, severe hydrocytophea on the meniscus, and cervical spondylosis.
Once the woman who could lift a 150-pound barbell,
Nowadays, my legs are all screaming when I go down the stairs, and I can't stand my legs for 15 minutes.
But fortunately, Liu Chengju's situation was reported by relevant media,
She, the widow of Asia's first Lux, has gained attention,
Colleagues from the sports institute and caring people from all walks of life have donated money,
A total of 50,000 yuan of charitable funds were raised.
But this money is simply not enough for living needs, Liu Chengju does a variety of work to subsidize the family,
She used to deliver milk, sell clothes, set up stalls, and work as a cashier.
But on a rainy day, her joints are torturing her,
There is no way to go up the stairs, not even milk,
While working as a night cashier, she also fainted at the front desk.
This situation made her unable to find a long-term job,
The income has been unstable, but Liu Chengju has a very stubborn temper,
I wanted to open a small commissary near the school and do a small business.
And it is not only her income that bothers her, her daughter Cai Han inherits the figure of her parents,
At the age of 5, he weighed 90 pounds, which was also accompanied by breathing difficulties.
On the advice of the doctor, Cai Han underwent respiratory surgery.
Various hormonal drugs make her body more bloated, and weight loss becomes impossible,
The out-of-shape of the body makes Cai Jianhan often discriminated against in school, and his personality becomes wooden.
Liu Chengju made up her mind that she would never let her daughter follow the old path of her parents.
The hundreds of trophies and certificates that the couple have saved are now worthless.
She had thought about selling trophies, and the honor she had exchanged her life for could not be exchanged for two thousand yuan now.
She wants her daughter to become a dietitian and have a healthy body.
Mother and daughter are crammed into a small house of 42 square meters,
Most of the family's expenses are spent on the mother and daughter duo to see a doctor.
To make matters worse, in 2012, Liu Chengju was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Liu Chengju once again triggered the audience after announcing his illness online,
All walks of life came to donate, and another caring person donated 100,000 yuan.
Liu Chengju used the money for cancer treatment,
Another hospital in Shenyang offered to operate on Liu Chengju for free.
At this time, the domestic sports industry flourished,
All sectors of society attach great importance to athletes,
In particular, these athletes who have won glory for the country will not be forgotten.
Talent did not catch up with this era, fortunately Liu Chengju caught up,
She has said many times that the country has not ignored us,
Her situation has also driven the attention of the relevant departments to retired athletes,
and the improvement of relevant welfare policies.
However, in 2017, their daughter Cai Jianhan also suffered from cancer.
She announced her condition on Weibo and raised 600,000 yuan for treatment.
Cai Jianhan's move won the sympathy of many people, but there were also many keyboard men who insulted her.
The mother and daughter duo are once again under all kinds of pressure and live while seeing a doctor.
The outbreak of the new crown epidemic last year, like sarcos in that year,
Perhaps it is this situation that reminds Liu Chengju of the tragic death of her husband in that year.
will post a long post on the Internet, tell the truth, and thank you for your attention over the years,
Caili has gone, and I hope that Liu Chengju's mother and daughter can tide over the difficulties and recover as soon as possible.
Nowadays, our country has become a big sports country, and all sports have won many honors.
But these honors are also accumulated by the previous athletes with their own blood and sweat.
Today's athletes who have won glory for the country have been well protected,
May those retired athletes also have a healthy and happy life.
