Becoming an Olympic champion is the life goal that countless athletes have wanted to achieve in their lifetimes.

However, there is such an athlete who not only became an Olympic champion, but also holds the honorary title of "Grand Slam".

She is Chen Xiaomin, a famous Chinese women's weightlifting champion.

As a champion athlete, Chen Xiaomin is highly respected by the audience.

But he didn't expect Chen Xiaomin to sell all the gold medals after retiring and move abroad.

Immediately afterwards, her reputation plummeted, and she was even labeled by netizens as "admiring foreigners" and "ungrateful".

Why did Chen Xiaomin do this, and is there a secret behind these labels?

In 2000, Chen Xiaomin became famous in the Sydney Olympics.

Chen Xiaomin, who was only 23 years old at the time, stood on the podium of the Olympic champion and stood at the peak of his life.

But as everyone knows, there is endless pressure behind this medal.

Because only this gold medal is needed, Chen Xiaomin can achieve the "lifting slam".

In order to be able to stand on the podium, Chen Xiaomin began to train day and night.

However, just as Chen Xiaomin was about to enter the arena, an accident happened.

The long-term and high-intensity training led to the old injuries accumulated by Chen Xiaomin in his early years.

Faced with the doctor's proposal not to continue the game, Chen Xiaomin fell into deep grief.

But Chen Xiaomin was not reconciled.

Even at the risk of being paralyzed, she will stand on the Olympic stage.

In the end, Chen Xiaomin went directly to the game after receiving a closed injection.

The emperor lives up to his wishes.

Chen Xiaomin successfully won the 27th Sydney Olympic Games, women's weightlifting 63kg championship.

This is also the first Olympic gold medal in Chen Xiaomin's weightlifting career.

When the medal was put on his neck, Chen Xiaomin burst into tears.

At this moment, Chen Xiaomin has regrets in addition to being moved.

Because Chen Xiaomin understands that this medal represents the pinnacle and the end.

Sure enough, shortly after the Sydney Olympics, Chen Xiaomin retired due to injury.

And her spirit of winning glory for the country and working hard has touched countless audiences.

But just when countless people were immersed in moving, Chen Xiaomin made an unexpected decision.

As we all know, for many athletes, gold medals are hard to come by.

Unexpectedly, just after retiring, Chen Xiaomin "exchanged" a large sum of money with the gold medal.

As soon as this incident came out, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

Netizens thought that Chen Xiaomin was blinded by money.

But after reading the use of the money, netizens said that they were originally living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

After retiring, Chen Xiaomin did not "sit on the mountain", but chose to go to Guangdong Business School for further study.

Because he majored in law, Chen Xiaomin joined a newspaper as the secretary of the Youth League Committee after graduation.

However, it was this job that gave her the idea of selling gold medals.

Chen Xiaomin often works in newspapers, where she has witnessed the lives of many children in poor mountainous areas.

Therefore, Chen Xiaomin wants to help those poor children get out of the mountains.

After returning to his hometown to visit relatives, Chen Xiaomin's thoughts became even stronger.

However, the salary in the newspaper was not high at that time, and Chen Xiaomin was very weak.

But after getting off work one time, Chen Xiaomin suddenly had an idea when he looked at the gold medals at home.

She decided to hold an auction to auction the gold medal, and the money raised was donated to her hometown.

After getting the money, Chen Xiaomin first built a hope primary school in his hometown.

In an interview with reporters, Chen Xiaomin said that these gold medals should be made more valuable than being used as decorations at home.

Her move touched countless netizens.

As time passed, this incident was gradually forgotten by the public.

But I didn't expect a wave to just flatten and a wave to rise.

A few years later, Chen Xiaomin was revealed to have emigrated.

As soon as this revelation came out, Chen Xiaomin fell into dire straits again.

There are even many netizens who have rediscovered the fact that Chen Xiaomin once "sold gold medals".

Some people also said that the reason why Chen Xiaomin funded his hometown was "doing bad things in the name of beauty".

For a while, rumors spread on the Internet.

However, as the ** intensified, Chen Xiaomin chose to respond in person.

She said she moved to Australia to better recuperate.

Not long after retiring, Chen Xiaomin met love and entered the palace of marriage.

But after giving birth to the child, Chen Xiaomin accidentally injured **.

Therefore, in order to better recuperate, she finally chose to immigrate with her family.

Over the years, Chen Xiaomin has also been paying attention to charity and contributing to the society.

In fact, the reason why Chen Xiaomin was able to have this idea is closely related to her early experience.

Chen Xiaomin was born in an ordinary rural family with many brothers and sisters.

Because Chen Xiaomin is the second oldest, she has been the "main force" of housework in the family since she was a child.

often helps his parents with farm work, and because of this, Chen Xiaomin has trained his strength since he was a child.

By a certain coincidence, Chen Xiaomin was favored by a coach who came to the school to select weightlifting talents.

In order to be able to get out of the mountains, she accepted the olive branch thrown by the coach.

In this way, Chen Xiaomin officially entered the sports school for professional training.

Seeing that her daughter was constantly scarred, her parents persuaded her to give up.

But Chen Xiaomin has her own persistence, and she still trains day after day.

Finally, at the age of 13, Chen Xiaomin successfully entered the provincial team.

In the face of more powerful teammates, her advantage is greatly reduced.

But Chen Xiaomin was not discouraged, but worked harder.

With the help of her coach, she quickly adjusted her form.

Three years after entering the provincial team, 16-year-old Chen Xiaomin finally ushered in the first big test in his life.

She was selected to compete in the National Games.

Living up to expectations, Chen Xiaomin successfully won the championship of the 7th National Games.

Subsequently, Chen Xiaomin officially started her championship road.

In the same year, Chen Xiaomin won the World Championships again and broke the world record three times.

In the next five years, Chen Xiaomin will take all the gold medals in the National Games, World Championships, and International Competitions under his command.

Behind the glamorous athletes are countless pains and sweats.

Today, Chen Xiaomin is 46 years old, and she has lived her ideal life.

In just 16 years, Chen Xiaomin appeared in the public eye again.

But this time she's not a weightlifter, she's a model.

Chen Xiaomin said she wanted to make up for her lost youth.

Standing on the podium in weightlifting for so long, this time she wants to stand on the podium of her life.

The world kisses me with pain, but I repay it with a song. ”

This sentence is very suitable to describe Chen Xiaomin.

Childhood experiences, body pain, and misunderstandings from the outside world are all accepted by her.

But after experiencing a lot of suffering, Chen Xiaomin is still able to give back to society.

This spirit of selfless dedication is worth learning from all of us.

Finally, I wish Chen Xiaomin can always be the champion of his life.
