In the glorious history of badminton, there is a famous player Tian Bingyi, who not only danced on the court, but also ushered in a remarkable marriage in his life. He chose to marry the "Iron Lady" Zhou Jihong as his wife, and now, his son has become his pride
On the busy streets of Wuhan, Tian Bingyi's badminton journey began by chance. At the age of 9, as the only child in his family, he lives in the shadow of books and parents' expectations. However, the appearance of an overseas Chinese teacher who loves badminton has painted a new color in his life.
This teacher has a unique vision, and he took a fancy to the tall and handsome Tian Bingyi at a glance. In the badminton training after class, Tian Bingyi showed extraordinary talent. "You kid, you are flexible, you are a natural badminton material!The teacher praised him.
However, as the training time increased, Tian Bingyi went home later and later. His parents began to worry and even be a little disappointed: "It's good to play, but you can't delay your studies!"The father's voice was full of worry.
Due to the opposition of his parents, Tian Bingyi had to temporarily withdraw from the training class. The teacher saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and decided to come to his door in person to convince his parents. "Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian, your son is really talented, and it's a pity not to let him learn badminton. The teacher said sincerely.
After some communication, the parents were finally moved by the teacher's sincerity and allowed Tian Bingyi to participate in the training again. "Mom, I'll study and train hard!Tian Bingyi said excitedly. He seized the opportunity and trained harder, and a year later, he successfully entered the Wuhan Junior Sports School and became one of the best.
Tian Bingyi's life has become more fulfilling. During the day, he concentrates in the classroom;In the evenings, he sweated on the training ground. "This is the life I want!He said silently in his heart. Two years later, his hard work paid off and he became a member of the provincial badminton team.
In the eyes of the coach, Tian Bingyi's diligence and hard work are obvious. "Tian Bingyi, your spirit of never giving up will make you go further. "The coach encouraged him. Sure enough, at the age of 17, Tian Bingyi won the national badminton doubles competition and became famous.
This achievement knocked on the door of the national team for him, where he met his perfect partner, Li Yongbo. The tacit understanding between the two has pushed Tian Bingyi's badminton career to a new height.
Tian Bingyi stepped into the door of the national team a year earlier than Li Yongbo. At that time, Li Yongbo was already a leader in the singles world, but because Tian Bingyi's regular partner suddenly encountered health problems, the two of them unexpectedly combined and unexpectedly created a legend in the badminton world.
Tian Bingyi, like a tiger on the field, full of passion;Li Yongbo is calm and calm, like a pool of deep water. Their combination, both offensively and defensively, is perfect. On the field, they won the championship 6 times and were known as the "best partners".
However, their retirement battle is full of tragedy and helplessness. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics should be their glorious finale. They dream of a gold medal as the perfect end to their careers.
However, fate always likes to play a joke. Li Yongbo was injured and although he persevered to the end, he only won the bronze medal in the end. "Yongbo, you have done your best, we have no regrets. Tian Bingyi comforted after the game.
Compared with this, Tian Bingyi's love story is much sweeter. When he was 19 years old, he met Zhou Jihong at a Mid-Autumn Festival party. At the party, Tian Bingyi noticed a girl boldly adding chili peppers to her dish.
"You. Love chili peppers?Tian Bingyi asked unconsciously.
The girl looked up, looked at each other, and smiled slightly: "Yes, the chili pepper reminds me of the taste of my hometown." Do you like it too?”
Tian Bingyi nodded: "I'm also from Wuhan, and I haven't tasted this kind of hometown for a long time." ”
During the chat, Tian Bingyi learned that the girl's name was Zhou Jihong, who was also his fellow countryman. This unexpected encounter made a warm emotion well-spring in his heart.
Since then, the two have become closer and closer. Under the common topic and hometown complex, their relationship quickly warmed up and finally came together.
Tian Bingyi's love road always lacks a boldness. Although Zhou Jihong knew his intentions, Tian Bingyi always refused to speak. The emotional impasse made the two fall into embarrassment, and at this time, Li Yongbo decided to help.
At a dinner party, Li Yongbo skillfully separated Tian Bingyi. He asked Zhou Jihong directly: "What do you think of Bingyi?"Zhou Jihong replied a little shyly: "He is a good person." ”
Li Yongbo immediately seized the opportunity and talked about Tian Bingyi's merits: "Do you know?He is so brave on the field, but off the field, he is a gentle and careful person. ”
Just as Li Yongbo was gushing, Tian Bingyi suddenly came back. Li Yongbo hurriedly found an excuse to separate him again and continued to chat with Zhou Jihong.
With the facilitation of Li Yongbo, the two finally held hands smoothly. After Tian Bingyi retired, they entered the palace of marriage in 1993 and soon ushered in the crystallization of love.
However, married life is not all smooth sailing. As the women's doubles badminton coach, Tian Bingyi devoted himself to his work, and the training ground became his second home. As a stay-at-home wife, Zhou Jihong is busy taking care of her children, and her life has become monotonous and repetitive.
One day, Zhou Jihong couldn't help but burst out to Tian Bingyi: "I don't want to be just a housewife!."I still have my own dreams!”
Tian Bingyi felt deeply guilty, and he decided to adjust the balance between work and family. He brought in his parents to help babysit the children and tried to share family responsibilities.
At the same time, Zhou Jihong was determined to return to her career, and she returned to the diving team strongly, once again showing the style of the "Iron Lady".
After his family problems were properly handled, Tian Bingyi rededicated himself to his love of badminton. He spotted two promising new stars on the training ground – Gu Jun and Ge Fei. In order to run in their doubles cooperation, Tian Bingyi decided to serve as their sparring partner with Li Yongbo.
Gu Jun and Ge Fei are both technically excellent, but their different personalities often clash on the court, which makes Tian Bingyi feel a headache. "If it's a boy, I'll just reprimand it and it's over, but for girls, it's hard. Tian Bingyi said to Li Yongbo.
At the suggestion of his wife Zhou Jihong, Tian Bingyi began to try to deal with the relationship between the team members in a more delicate way. This change not only made his hair gray, but also taught him patience and understanding.
"Both of you are a valuable asset to the team, and your cooperation is the key to our victory. Tian Bingyi said to Gu Jun and Ge Fei after a training session. Under his careful guidance, the pair of "happy enemies" finally lifted the trophy on the world stage, which made Tian Bingyi excited.
Similarly, Zhou Jihong has also made brilliant achievements in the diving world, creating an unrivaled "dream team". Both have become bright stars in their respective fields.
In 2017, Tian Bingyi relieved himself of his heavy coaching responsibilities and began to enjoy happy times with his family. "Let's go hiking together on the weekend?He often invited his wife in this way, and they would invite old friends to reminisce about the glory days of the past.
Although their son did not choose badminton, Tian Bingyi was not disappointed. "Everyone has their own way, son, you just have to be happy. He said so.
Tian Bingyi and Zhou Jihong have walked hand in hand for 31 years, jointly cultivating countless outstanding athletes, and also raising a son with his own dreams. Their love and career have become beautiful talks in the sports world.
