As the diving queen of China, Guo Jingjing has won many honors for her country. Even after retirement, she married into the top rich family in Hong Kong, and she still lived a simple life and was enthusiastic about public welfare. I have to say that Guo Jingjing is excellent and an example for young people to learn.
So how good is Guo Jingjing? Listen, I'll show you the way slowly.
The birth of diving queen
Guo Jingjing, 198 1, from Baoding, Hebei. Her father Guo Shuzhong is a railway worker, and her mother Fan Yumei is a worker in Le Kai Film Factory. Although the family is not rich, her parents love Guo Jingjing very much. What worries Guo Jingjing's parents is that Guo Jingjing was too picky about food when she was a child and her physical fitness was not very good.
For the sake of Guo Jingjing's health, when Guo Jingjing was 6 years old, her parents asked her to practice diving. At that time, Guo Jingjing's kneecap was a little protruding, which would affect the aesthetic feeling of her aerial modeling and needed to be corrected by leg press. So Guo Jingjing let her father, who weighed 140 Jin, press her knee every night, which made her sweat, but she still chose to insist. Two years later, the abrupt kneecap was flattened. The child who trained with her at that time gave up diving because she couldn't stand the hard work of training. Only Guo Jingjing insisted.
Guo Jingjing's persistence was not in vain. She joined the diving team in Hebei Province. 12 years old, she joined the national diving team again. In the national diving team, she practices every day except illness. Her coach Zhong Shaofen once said: "Guo Jingjing is the hardest worker among all the players. She can complete all the strict requirements of the coach and has been rated as the training model of the team many times. "
Only three years later, Guo Jingjing, aged 15, won the opportunity to participate in the Atlanta Olympic Games by winning the first place in the domestic diving trials. Because of her nervousness, she couldn't sleep before the competition, but she still won the fifth place in the women's 10 meter platform competition.
Obviously, Guo Jingjing will not be satisfied with such achievements. She wants to be a champion. However, before becoming an Olympic champion, she experienced many hardships. Shortly after the Atlanta Olympic Games, she broke her leg in training and was diagnosed as an open fracture. The 8th National Games will be held in Shanghai in June 5438+the following year 10. If she can't recover in time, she will miss the National Games. At that time, the doctor asked her to put a steel nail on her leg and take it out a year later. If you follow the doctor's advice, Guo Jingjing will miss the National Games of 1997, but Guo Jingjing didn't. She was treated conservatively with plaster cast and watched the diving preliminaries of the National Games with crutches.
Fortunately, after playing plaster for five months, Guo Jingjing's leg slowly recovered and gained 20 pounds. So Guo Jingjing trained crazily, getting up at 6 o'clock every morning, practicing until 8 o'clock, and then having breakfast. At noon, when others were resting, she was running outside in a sweaty suit, and Guo Jingjing didn't want to give up.
1997 10 Guo Jingjing stood on the diving stage of the National Games. At that time, she had successfully lost weight and won the second place in the women's 3m springboard with a score of 553.86.
Unfortunately, in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, she was only one step away from the champion, and she won the runner-up. Guo Jingjing is determined to win the champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
However, before winning the championship, Guo Jingjing was almost blind. At the end of 200 1, Guo Jingjing's right eye was found to have a slight retinal detachment during the routine eye examination of the national diving team. In order to continue her hard work in diving, Guo Jingjing underwent tear reduction surgery in her right eye. Shortly after the operation, she appeared in the diving hall and she still didn't want to give up.
In 2004, Guo Jingjing won two gold medals at the Athens Olympic Games, which won honor for her country. At the age of 23, she also became a leading diver in China.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, she won two gold medals again. What many people don't know is that her retina is in danger of falling off on the eve of the Olympic Games. However, with the competition just around the corner, Guo Jingjing chose to go all out. With a vision of 0.2, she vaguely won two gold medals, single and double, in the 3m springboard. CNN, a well-known American media, rated her as the most accomplished female athlete in diving field, and she attracted the attention of the whole world.
Guo Jingjing had won 4 Olympic gold medals and 3 1 world champions before she officially retired on 20165438+1October 22nd. She is a well-deserved "diving queen".
Some media once asked her what made her insist on diving. She sincerely replied: "Because I like it, I will invest and I will be willing to pay."
There are many giants in the world, but few champions.
In addition to high achievements in diving, the love between Guo Jingjing and Huo is also enviable.
The fate of Guo Jingjing and Huo began after the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. At that time, Guo Jingjing and her teammates went to Hong Kong for an exchange visit. At a dinner party, Huo took the initiative to take a photo with Guo Jingjing, and Guo Jingjing agreed. After a while, Huo came again. Because Huo was wearing a pair of glasses that day, Guo Jingjing was impressed by Huo and asked him, "Didn't you just take a photo?" Huo Qi Gang quickly said to her, "This is just taken by others. I can't get the photos. Can I get another one? " Guo Jingjing agreed.
What Guo Jingjing didn't expect was that she and her teammates left Hong Kong for an exchange visit to Macau a few days later. Just as they were about to board the ship, Huo Qigang appeared in front of her and said to her, "Do you want me to help you?" Taking the opportunity to help Guo Jingjing with things, Huo Qigang and Guo Jingjing chatted, and as a result, they chatted quite speculatively. Huo also successfully got Guo Jingjing's phone number. Only when everyone arrived in Macau, he returned to Hong Kong by boat. His trip was to deliberately create an opportunity to meet Guo Jingjing.
With Guo Jingjing's contact information, Huo Qigang took the initiative to send a message to Guo Jingjing, and he pursued Guo Jingjing. At that time, no matter where Guo Jingjing played, there would be Huo.
After the love affair between Guo Jingjing and Huo was exposed in 2004, there were different opinions on the Internet. Some people even say that Guo Jingjing is clinging to rich and powerful people. In the face of such remarks, Guo Jingjing responded domineering: I didn't climb high. There are many giants in the world, but few champions.
After falling in love with Huo, she didn't rush to get married and have children, but continued to struggle in the diving field to win glory for her country. Huo also understands and supports her. Huo Qi Gang once said, "She is a very independent person. I respect her work and he respects my choice. " Even if Guo Jingjing retired at 20 1 1, she didn't marry Huo Qigang immediately, but went to England to study and improve herself.
However, on 20 12, Huo proposed, and Guo Jingjing said "I do" to him.
On October 20 12, 165438+ 10, Guo Jingjing and Huo Xi got married. On the wedding day, Huo's father, Huo Zhenting, said at the wedding: "Jingjing can marry into our family, which is the blessing of our entire Huo family." Huo's mother said, "It's really an honor for Huo's family to get such a good wife." . Huo even said frankly: "I really climbed up with her and she was willing to marry me. I feel honored! "
After marriage, Guo Jingjing and Huo Yu have a son and two daughters.
Loyal to our original wishes
After Guo Jingjing and Huo got married, they moved out of her mansion. Unlike many people's imagination, Guo Jingjing never shows off her wealth. She is very simple. She wears a few dollars of rubber bands and buys clothes for dozens of dollars. Even the shoes she bought for her son rarely exceeded those of 200 yuan. Under her influence, Huo became very simple and they often went shopping together.
Regarding the outside world's ignorance of their lifestyle, Huo said: "She is not a housewife image projected by society. She is definitely not, and she is not willing to do so. " Guo Jingjing also said frankly: "Money should be spent where it should be spent, not when it is rich. In fact, we are not so different from others. I don't know how you might understand me, but as a person, I have a normal life, just like everyone else. "
After marrying Huo, Guo Jingjing got along well with Huo's parents. Once in an interview with the media, she also specially thanked Huo's mother. She said, "I am especially grateful to my mother-in-law for educating my husband so well."
She is also very respectful and filial to her father-in-law, Huo Zhenting. However, Huo Zhenting also saw Guo Jingjing's "unkind" side. Once, Huo Zhenting wanted to play with his grandson, who was still studying. Guo Jingjing doesn't allow them to play together, because Guo Jingjing has rules for children: they can't play during study. Although he can't play with his grandson, Huo Zhenting still appreciates Guo Jingjing because she has principles and attaches importance to children's education.
Guo Jingjing really attaches great importance to children's education. After marrying Huo, she often does public welfare activities. Sometimes she and Huo will take their children with them, let them know that everyone's life is not easy from an early age, and let the children keep a kind heart. She will also take her children to the farmland to transplant rice seedlings and let them know that food is hard to come by. When children want pocket money, she and Huo let them wash their cars and earn pocket money through their own labor. Of course, Guo Jingjing will sigh like all mothers: "Children grow up too fast, and they will grow up soon, and they are not willing to give up ..."
Nowadays, Huo is very busy at work, but Guo Jingjing always supports him. When talking about Huo in public, she always praises him as a good husband and father. As long as Huo has time, he will go home for dinner and spend time with his children.
I have to say that Guo Jingjing is really a person who has a positive outlook on life, keeps his initial heart, is not confused by fame and fortune, and is also a person worth learning.
Guo Jingjing, you are great!
