Now, his wife has something else to rely on and has successfully given birth to a daughter through technology. So, how is his life now?
In a friendly soccer match in 2002, two young hearts met because of an accidental ball collision.
At that time, Zhou Suhong was still a female player active on the volleyball court, and she was attracted by Tang Miao's humor and sincerity.
Zhou Suhong felt that Tang Miao was very sincere and kind, and this simple and sincere personality made her think he was very cute.
The two met because of an accident in a football match, which began such an ingenious fate.
After the two had a simple dinner, their feelings gradually warmed up, and then they successfully entered the palace of marriage.
However, the duo's happy time didn't last long, as an unfortunate event changed their fortunes forever in the following match.
In June 2007, Tang Miao fell and injured her head during a competition in Russia and was rushed to St. Petersburg Hospital.
After a long resuscitation, although out of danger of life, his nervous system suffered severe trauma and had to face the harsh reality of high paraplegia.
He had just gotten married, and the blow came as a bolt from the blue for him, not to mention that he was still an athlete, and high paraplegia meant the end of his career.
In order not to bring an additional burden to his wife Zhou Suhong, he chose to return to China to accept ** and began the ** process. After the operation, Tang Miao's road was very difficult and tortuous.
Accompanied by his parents and wife, he went to Beijing to receive professional training. Despite the extremely difficult process, Tang Miao never lost confidence, and his arm gradually regained its mobility.
During this time, the wife has been busy with chores. In order to avoid causing trouble to his wife, he filed for divorce from Zhou Suhong again, and this time, Zhou Suhong actually agreed.
In 2012, Zhou Suhong and Tang Miao officially went through divorce procedures. After the divorce, Tang Miao still kept in touch with his ex-wife Zhou Suhong.

The birth of his daughter gave him new hope and motivation, and also added anticipation to his future life.
Every time she looks at her daughter's cute appearance, Tang Miao can't help but recall her experience back then.

However, at that time, he did not realize that he was about to be paralyzed.
At present, Tang Miao is paralyzed, but he devotes himself wholeheartedly to taking care of his daughter, and he has made great efforts to bring her a better life.
During his time, his parents were also separated due to emotional discord, and at the same time, his father also suffered from heart disease.
Tang Miao was not very surprised by his parents' divorce, because in his impression, his parents often quarreled, and even in front of him, there were few times of affection.
Therefore, he didn't have much feeling about his parents' divorce, and he didn't pay much attention to his mother after she remarried soon after, while his father suffered from heart disease due to fatigue and was in poor physical condition, but he still tried his best to take care of Tang Miao's daily life.

His paintings were recently auctioned off at an exhibition, and the proceeds were donated to the club to help more people in need.
In addition, he is actively involved in sports meetings to support athletes with disabilities.
Although life was at a low point, Tang Miao still adhered to his belief in the future, showing his love and dedication to life, although he could not act like a normal person.
