Basketball star Zheng Haixia ushered in the other half of her life in 2008, and after many years of knowing each other, they entered the palace of marriage. However, for the past four years, her husband has not been seen in public, raising concerns about his marital status.
After all, Zheng Haixia is a symbol of the entire era.
Basketball "superstars" have shown their extraordinary talents.
She is tall and agile, which is in stark contrast to the "stupid big guy". Under these circumstances, she quickly entered the Shangqiu Amateur Sports School and began to learn basketball systematically.
However, this "amateur sports school" did not expect that they would produce a world-class basketball superstar. In 1982, she finished third in the 9th Women's World Basketball Championship.
Then, in 1982 and 1984, she won back-to-back Asian Youth Championship titles. What's even more amazing is that at the age of 16, she was selected for the national team in 1983, and her edge is hard to hide.
Zheng Haixia is a strong player who has proved her worth with her talent and hard work. She seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and lived up to her family's expectations, let alone her love.
At the Los Angeles Olympics, she showed strong strength and became the first tall center in the history of Chinese basketball to score extremely strongly. Her performance shocked fans and journalists at home and abroad, and some foreign journalists even called her "the Great Wall of China".
At the 10th Women's Basketball World Championships, she won the "Best Center Award" and became the "Best Scorer" in the final.
Zheng Haixia, a giant in the basketball world, is 206 meters. With her never-ending hard work and strength, she has created an era of her own. The 31-year-old, who retired in 1998, has competed in four Olympic Games, four World Championships, four Asian Games and eight Asian Championships, as well as silver medals at the Barcelona Olympics and the World Championships in Sydney.
However, compared to the prosperity of her career, her love life is like a cloud. In 1997, she was selected to the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA basketball league, becoming the first Asian player to be selected to the team.
Zheng Haixia is a goddess in the sports world, and even the Lakers' O'Neal is her fan. Her tall figure makes her look imposing, but her heart is full of girlish tenderness.
She likes to wear all kinds of bracelets, whether they are jade, red ribbons or gold chains, all of which are hung all over her wrists. When she takes off her jersey, she goes shopping to admire all kinds of clothes, not just buy them.
This appreciative attitude shows her unique understanding and pursuit of beauty.
Due to her unique height, it is difficult to find suitable clothes on the market, so she usually needs to look at the style first and then ask someone to customize it according to the size. She longs for romance in her heart and longs to build a love nest with her beloved.
However, this unconventional height discourages many people from falling in love. Just as the height gap between ordinary people and elementary school students, she needs the admiration of most people. Luckily, she needed tall companions for her job, including her first love.
Although the identity of the first love is not prominent, just an ordinary basketball player, he has 2The height of 10 meters is quite a match for Zheng Haixia. They have the same three views, have similar interests and hobbies, and there are always endless topics to talk about when they are together.
So, when Zheng Haixia was 23 years old, she fell in love with her first love. However, Zheng Haixia was already a high-profile top star at that time, and her boyfriend could not compare with her in terms of identity, status or even income.
Some people believe that Zheng Haixia was deceived by her boyfriend, and he was only with her for her money.
Her boyfriend was troubled by this and was under a lot of pressure in his relationship with her. As a manly husband, who doesn't want to be the most solid backing for his wife and children?
However, the reality is the opposite, Zheng Haixia's strength has traumatized her boyfriend's self-esteem. In 1993, her boyfriend finally broke up with Zheng Haixia, and the relationship between the two ended in a harmonious atmosphere for two years.
Recalling that breakup, it still makes people feel sorry. Her boyfriend gave her a painting of a towering tree with a small grass under it.
The tall tree is Zheng Haixia, and the little grass is her boyfriend.
Without much explanation, Zheng Haixia instantly understood the reason why this relationship came to an end. Zheng Haixia quickly adjusted her emotions and reached an amicable breakup agreement with her ex-boyfriend.
In the past, they were so affectionate that they could share a wardrobe and shoe closet, but now that they have broken up, Zheng Haixia is still concerned about her ex-boyfriend's inability to find suitable shoes due to body type problems.
Therefore, Zheng Haixia tries to send two pairs of suitable shoes for her ex-boyfriend every year. This persistence was not interrupted until the ex-boyfriend got married and had children.
Zheng Haixia is talented and intelligent, and she should have lived happily, but because of a breakup, she endured 20 years of single life alone. Her family is worried about her future, as her health could pose a threat to her later life.
So, the family arranged for her to go on a blind date several times, but it was unsuccessful.
When asked why she was like this, she only replied "no feeling". When asked if she regretted breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, Zheng Haixia replied calmly: "I feel very sorry about this relationship. ”
However, she also said objectively: "My view of love has always believed that fate is the key. Since we parted peacefully, it means that our fate is over, and I don't regret it. ”
After all, it's better to go with the flow of marriage, because who could have predicted such a thing as fate? Since her first love ended in tragedy, Zheng Haixia's life has not changed much.
On the field, she is a hard-working athlete who wins glory for the country; After retiring from the sport, she became a coach and nurtured future pillars of the country. She actively participates in various activities and shares her inspirational stories and life insights.
Although she has more time, she doesn't deliberately dress up, as long as she likes, she can show a confident smile, regardless of her size. She was even keen on the sound of clattering on the floor in high heels.
In 2008, 41-year-old Zheng Haixia was invited to participate in the variety show "A Date with Luyu", so that more people could understand her story and attitude towards life.
The host asked her if she had lost confidence in love, and she denied it, saying that she had always been full of yearning for love, but in the past few years, she had not met the right person into her life.
She believes that someone destined is on the way. In the show, she uninhibitively elaborated on her expectations for her ideal partner, as if she was sending a marriage signal to the world.
This signal attracts attention.
Zheng Haixia's other half, Xu Qinghua, is four years older than her. Xu Qinghua, born in 1963, is half a fellow countryman, from Heilongjiang, with a height of 1.9 meters, and is a northeastern man.
Later, he moved with his parents to Pingdingshan, Henan. He loves basketball, was a striker at Pingdingshan Sports School, and after retiring, he worked as a sports officer at the Nanyuan Street Cultural Station in Shenzhen.
Under his leadership, the South Park Street Senior Gateball Team has made a name for itself, not only winning domestic competitions, but also representing the country in South Korea.
Despite approaching middle age, he is still single, for the simple reason that he has not yet met the person with whom he is destined. However, there is a special person living in his heart, she is the shining star on the basketball court - Zheng Haixia.
He was attracted by her excellent skills, charming smile and generous conversation. Everyone around him knows about his feelings, but they don't care too much, after all, one is an international superstar, and the other is just an ordinary coach, and they don't seem to have any intersection.
In fact, Xu Qinghua and Zheng Haixia once had a relationship, that was at a party, and Xu Qinghua's heart was full of excitement and joy at that time.
Zheng Haixia didn't think that this fan's friendship was love, and it wasn't until he saw the signal of her marriage on "A Date with Luyu" that he mustered up the courage to confess to her. Xu Qinghua chose to use the traditional "Hongyan Biography" method to write down full of thoughts and affection.
He believes that although this method is simple, it can express his feelings more sincerely. After receiving the letter, out of politeness, Zheng Haixia also replied with a letter.
Xu Qinghua was very excited after receiving the reply and decided to write to Zheng Haixia again. Although Zheng Haixia's height surprised him a little, his love for her did not diminish, but he regretted not taking the opportunity to talk to her more.
Now that Zheng Haixia has replied, the future between them is full of infinite possibilities. After many exchanges of letters, Xu Qinghua finally mustered up the courage to invite her to meet. They formally met in a restaurant and talked for four hours.
At the beginning, Zheng Haixia didn't have much expectations for this man.
Zheng Haixia is more than ten centimeters taller than Xu Qinghua, although this height gap will be a perfect combination between men and women, but it seems very incongruous between the two of them.
Zheng Haixia is worried that this will bring invisible pressure to Xu Qinghua. Moreover, her identity and achievements are far beyond Xu Qinghua, and she is afraid that after paying her sincerity, she will end up with the image of "big trees and small grass" again.
However, Xu Qinghua is braver than ever, and he confides in her about his admiration and love for her over the years, showing his sincerity and determination, hoping to change her mind.
Zheng Haixia was moved by his sincerity and agreed to get along for a while. When she got home, she was still uneasy, was this the fate she had been waiting for for a long time? Xu Qinghua, who returned home, was so excited that he couldn't sleep, his wish for many years finally came true, and his heart, which was nearly half a hundred years old, was still beating like a young man.
Who says love is only the preserve of young people? Xu Qinghua is in Shenzhen, while Zheng Haixia is in Beijing, and he often travels thousands of miles from south to north, just to see her. When it is impossible to meet in person, Xu Qinghua will listen to her voice through **, and will also write a letter to pour out his heart.
Soon after, Zheng Haixia was deeply intrigued. This is a man with a sense of responsibility and a man who deserves to be entrusted with his life. At the end of 2009, Zheng Haixia met the person who came for her from south to north again.
Xu Qinghua suppressed the excitement in his heart, and only after Zheng Haixia arrived at the luxury hotel booked in advance did he solemnly take out a diamond ring. Zheng Haixia was stunned for a while, and even forgot what a diamond ring was for a moment.
Xu Qinghua knelt on one knee, stared into Zheng Haixia's eyes, and asked solemnly, "Are you willing to marry me?" ”
