Chinese gymnastics team player Liu Xuan, known as the queen of gymnastics, has now retired, but she won the gymnastics balance beam at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, becoming China's oldest gymnastics champion, and her flawless results are still immortal.
Liu Xuan, 42 years old, was born in 1979. She used to be a big name in the world of sports, but now she has moved away from sports. So, how is her life going?
Before talking about Liu Xuan's life today, we need to look back at her past experiences, which are important for everyone, because what happened in the past forms the basis of life now.
When she was only 5 years old, Liu Xuan's body was not healthy, in order to improve her physical fitness, her parents sent her to the bodybuilding class of the Children's Palace and began to learn Xi gymnastics.
This easily reminds us of a person: Guo Jingjing, who was not in good health when she was a child, chose a sports career precisely because of this.
Destiny is so mysterious, always leading you into your life in a unique way.
The coach's attention to Liu Xuan's gymnastics talent naturally attracted attention, and when she was 8 years old, she was recommended to join the Hunan Provincial Gymnastics Team. She spent 4 whole years here.
The long and arduous training gives the sport a skilful and easy experience.
Liu Xuan began to overload training from 6 to 7 in the morning every day when she was young, and insisted until she joined the national gymnastics team, and she did not have the opportunity to spend the Spring Festival with her family for 8 years.
Liu Xuan won the championship and first place in the China Cup Gymnastics Championships and the Puerto Rico World Championships, which fully proves the truth of "pay for gain".
Unexpectedly, rainbows always appear more dazzling after experiencing wind and rain. When participating in the Atlanta Olympics, Liu Xuan unfortunately lost the championship because of an old injury on his foot, and even fell in the uneven bars competition.
Liu Xuan was hit hard by the setback, and after the game, she chose to quit the competition at the age of 17 and work behind the scenes. Atlanta became a pain she will never forget, and the mention of it weighs her heart.
In 2000, Liu Xuan had been retired for a long time, but she was able to participate in the Sydney Olympics because of her "alternate" status, and set a record for the oldest champion in the history of the Chinese gymnastics team in the gymnastics balance beam event. This fate is so wonderful.
Liu Xuan had no regrets when everything became worth it.
Liu Xuan officially announced her retirement from the gymnastics team at the age of 21, which can be described as a successful retirement, which is perfect for her life.
She still has a long way to go in her life, and that's only a fifth of it.
Liu Xuan believes that the most important thing for her is to start over, not retire after success. After all, she felt that she had not yet mastered the ability to manage her life.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Xuan left the army, he devoted himself to school.
It is imperative to enrich the cultural knowledge, even the world champion, if you don't work hard, will be eliminated by society.
Liu Xuan definitely thinks that learning Xi is more difficult than gymnastics, and she even considered dropping out of college because she felt that learning Xi was too difficult.
Luckily, all of Liu Xuan's hard work paid off, and eventually she successfully graduated from Peking University and began her career as a sports journalist, arguably returning to her professional field.
In the process of learning Xi, Liu Xuan also became an actor with her outstanding appearance, such as her outstanding performance in the movie "Beautiful Homesickness", so she won the Bronze Award for Outstanding Actress, fully demonstrating her characteristics as a highly malleable actor.
Because she is too good, gaining the recognition of others has become a problem, and for Liu Xuan, her husband Wang Tao is such a person.
According to rumors, Wang Tao was not optimistic about Liu Xuan when he first met her, because he thought she relied too much on her title and was too impetuous: she was obviously a student, and she also participated in film shooting and received advertisements.
Fortunately, a pair of young people don't seem to have eye contact, but they came together because of a small move by Huang Lei: Huang Lei and Wang Tao have a master-apprentice relationship, and he is deeply anxious about the contradictions in the young man's heart.
One day, Huang Lei made a request to Wang Tao, hoping that he could give this "Wandering Thoughts" to Liu Xuan.
Unbeknownst to him, the teacher was actually taking on the duties of "Yue Lao", and he wrote the following sentence on the title page of the book:
Bless Miss Liu Xuan, may you be blessed.
With the divine assistance of the old man under the moon, Liu Xuan and Wang Tao finally came together, they chose to fall in love in a low-key manner, and worked very hard for their careers.
In 2007, an incident happened, Liu Xuan participated in Hunan Satellite TV's variety show "Fame Shock". Although this was originally an ordinary thing, it attracted a lot of public attention because of her relationship with guest Pu Shu.
Many people believe that Liu Xuan caused a crisis in Pu Shu's marital relationship, so she suffered a lot of negative comments and was even accused of being a "third party".
The young Liu Xuan felt very scared and angry, so she decided to make her relationship public and posted a blog post titled "One Restoration is Enough" to restore the truth.
Maybe it's because I'm new to the industry and have limited tolerance for gossip. I didn't expect such vile and shameless fake news to target me, and it was a serious insult to my personality.
In 2013, Liu Xuan announced that she and Wang Tao had been in love for 5 years and had entered the palace of marriage.
Although this process is long, it conveys a profound message to people: two people who have been in love for more than ten years are unwavering in their love.
* It was reported that Liu Xuan married into a wealthy family, but she once again publicly retorted: "I don't crave the luxury of a wealthy family, I just pursue and stick to sincere love." ”
Obviously, Liu Xuan has really stepped from the life of a high-ranking champion into the daily life of ordinary people.
According to rumors, Liu Xuan was very simple after getting married, and even took a taxi to consider it.
Liu Xuan welcomed her eldest son "Xiongjiao" in 2015, and welcomed the arrival of her youngest daughter in 2020, which made her feel full of happiness in her married life.
Liu Xuan once shared in a previous blog post: "Spending time with children in the morning, working in the afternoon, and spending time with children in the evening, life is full and satisfying, it's great!."”
After Liu Xuan got married, she did not become a full-time housewife and a mother of a second child, she has always insisted on the struggle of her career and never stopped.
She founded her own sports brand back in 2016, which means that Liu Xuan will also become a strong player in the business world in the future, after all, her championship accolades did not come out of nowhere.
This is Liu Xuan, a person who began to learn Xi gymnastics at the age of 5, won the Olympic championship at the age of 21, and did not enter the palace of marriage until the age of 36.
She is the pride of the country, not only a singer and host in the entertainment industry, but also a businessman in the entrepreneurial circle. Most importantly, however, she is now living a happy life, with a good relationship with her husband, children and daughters, and she seems to be free of worries and at ease.
