Lin Dan has created a myth in the world of badmintonAnd Li Zongwei, as the "second thousand-year-old", is also remembered by people.
Every time I talk about these two people, I have a sense of sadness of "both Yu and Liang".But the 36-year-old Li Zongwei retired due to cancer, and Lin Dan also regretted it!
They are evenly matched opponents on the fieldOff the field, it's not a partner who cherishes each other.
10 million renewed Li Zongwei's lifeBut he completely deprived him of his dreamLeft a lifetime of regrets.
In 1999, when Li Zongwei was just 17 years oldBut it's been 6 years since he picked up the racket in his hand, and that was his first time participating in the Malaysian National Championships.
Nobody thought that,As a fledgling, he won the Malaysian National Championships.
Everyone thinks that Li Zongwei is talented and God appreciates food, which is undeniableBut he embarked on the road of badminton because "the children of poor families are in charge early".
Lee Chong Wei was born in Malaysia in 1982But he has the blood of the Chinese in his body.
His grandparents came to Malaysia when they were young to make ends meetAs a result, they settled there.
When Li Zongwei was born, he already had three children in the familyThe conditions at home cannot be said to be bad, only to be said to be very poor.
Some people around him suggested that Li Zongwei's mother give him to those families who can't have children, and he can reduce his burdenHow can a piece of meat that fell from the mother and son Lianxin's body be easy to give up?
So Mother Li gritted her teeth and left Li Zongwei behindLife at home is also stretched.
Two older brothers and one sister have dropped out of school to workAll of a sudden, the family's financial crisis eased.
Life at home is moving in a good directionThe family found that Li Zongwei was not tallis much lower than his peers, so Li Zongwei started to practice basketball.
Lee Chong Wei's talent in basketball is pretty goodAt one point, they all entered the state team, which is what we call the provincial team.
But the mother was too distressed to look at the dark and thin boy, so she didn't let Li Zongwei practiceLi Zongwei has no special feelings for basketball, so he doesn't practice.
I didn't expect it to be such a decisioncan influence Li Zongwei's life.
Lee Chong Wei's father likes to play badminton very much, and when he plays with Lee Chong WeiWhen the coach saw it, he wanted to pull Li Zongwei directly to learn badminton.
Li Zongwei felt that there was nothing to do anyway, so he followed the coach to learn Xi badmintonThe coach looked at Li Zongwei's progress and suddenly woke up to "pick up" a genius.
So he persuaded Li Zongwei's parents to let Li Zongwei specialize in XiAt first, the parents disagreed.
The mother still feels sorry for her son, and she is too tired to practice sports, while the father thinks about realityThis badminton is just a hobby, and it is not necessary to go to school exclusively.
But the always obedient son is quite stubborn this timeis to learn Xi badminton, and there is no way for the two to compromise.
Only the coach knows,The tomorrow of badminton is going to be in the hands of Lee Chong Wei!
It took only 6 years for Lee Chong Wei to be selected for the national team from the beginning of learning badmintonAnd he was left out in the cold for three years, and the pain of it is probably only known to him.
Fortunately, all the hardships are sweet, and the accumulation is thick, LiZong Wei, a shining star, is destined to be hung high.
There are many talented players, but Li Zongwei must be the most persistent one, he doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him, or how he snubs himHe was bent on improving himself.
So in 1999, he won the Malaysian National ChampionshipsNo one dares to underestimate Lee Chong Wei anymore.
In 2000, Lin Dan was also a fledgling young playerBoth competed in the World Junior Championships, but did not play each other, with Lee Chong Wei finishing third.
After that, Li Zongwei devoted himself to badmintonHe sees winning a gold medal at the Olympics as his lifelong dream.
In 2003, Lee Chong Wei's condition gradually improvedThere is even the momentum to replace the first brother in Malaysia.
Winning his first Open Championship in 2004 gave him more confidence in the road aheadThat year, he also fought against Lin Dan, the "lifelong enemy".
After several years of rapid growth, Lindane is different from what it used to beIn the battle against Lee Chong Wei, he defeated Lee Chong Wei 2-1.
It happened to be the Olympics, in the 16-8 competition,Lee Chong Wei is burdened with the hope of the whole of MalaysiaBut the skills are still inferior to others and lose.
This game also let Li Zongwei know that there are mountain people outside the mountainHe went into the races with even more enthusiasm.
Finally, two years later, he became the male single brother in MalaysiaHe also managed to reach the top of the world rankings, and he is also the third in Malaysian historyIt can be seen that the gold content of this first.
He travels every day in major international competitionsMost of the time he wins, and he is regarded as a "big rival".
Finally came to the Olympics he had been waiting for for a long timeThat is, the Beijing Olympic Games hosted by our country for the first time.
When I came to my hometown, I met my rivalLee Chong Wei felt extremely nervous, and he just wanted to give it his all.
He cut through all the way to the finals, and the battle against the "Great Demon King" Lin Dan,The two of them played against Lin Dan, and the winning rate was relatively large.
This game is destined to be blood-boilingAfter some fighting, Li Zongwei still lost to Lin DanWon the silver medal.
This is already the highest honor for MalaysiaThe level of badminton in Malaysia is not highIt was also their second Olympic silver medal, without a gold medal.
Therefore, the gold medal is also the highest pursuit that Lee Chong Wei has always pursuedLee Chong Wei was completely canonized in Malaysia after this battleEveryone saw the hope of the gold medal.
The world is impermanentSometimes hope is just hope, Li Zongwei is sick!
After a match in 2012, Lee Chong Wei suffered a foot injuryIt is impossible to train at high intensity in a short period of time.
But he couldn't let go of the Paris Olympics in front of himEating painkillers, I survived one game after another to the Olympics.
In this year's final, he still met Lin Dan, and the battle between the two made people's eyes ruddyIt's a pity that he still lost to Lin Dan.
Lee Chong Wei knows that Malaysia's hope is still in himHe worked hard to do ** training,It's finally time for the 2016 Olympics.
This year, he defeated Lin Dan on the Olympic fieldI thought the gold medal was within reachI didn't expect to meet another Chinese fierce player Chen Long in the final.
He is unwilling, he wants to win a gold medal for his country in his careerBut fate was meant to play a joke on him.
As of 2018, in official competitions,Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan fought a total of 40 times, but lost 28 times.
This shouldn't be the end of Li Zongwei, but he fell down because of illnessHe was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer.
He's positive and wants to get back on the fieldHe even has a problem eating, his throat is rotten meat, and he can only eat with anesthetics.
33 times of electrotherapy, countless tears behind the back of his family, his wife washed his face with tears all day long, but he still survived strongly, and the total cost of bonuses was tens of millionsBut these are nothing at all for good health.
And what Li Zongwei cares about most is whether he can play in the futureHe once announced to ** that he would make a comeback.
But time and time again set back the comeback time until one dayHe came forward to announce his retirement, and his era came to an end.
The world's first world famous player with a men's singles score of more than 100,000815 days to dominate the top of the Badminton Federation men's singles list, etc., these are his honorary titles.
However, his lifelong obsession to win the gold medal at the Olympics has never been achieved.
Li Zongwei did not completely withdraw from the badminton arena, but started to work behind the scenesDevelop the next batch of better players!
Whoever looks at Li Zongwei has to say that his life is not at the right time, but it may be for Li ZongweiEverything is the best time, he grows in the strong.
Lee Chong Wei is an athlete who deserves everyone's respectHe struggles, works hard, always keeps up with the future, and always moves forward for his dreams.
In the face of cancer, he was resolute, courageous, and did not feel sorry for himselfThat's probably why he's at the top!
