"Three laps to the left, three laps to the right, twisting the neck, twisting the buttocks......"In 1998, there was a special program at the Spring Festival Gala, where a woman with a high ponytail and a leotard led many stars to reinterpret Fan Xiaoxuan's "Health Song" in the form of aerobics.
Soon, the song spread through the streets with its upbeat melody, and the energetic leader on TV became a household name.
In fact, this Spring Festival Gala is not the first time she has appeared on TV, as early as 1990, she served as the host of "Five Minutes of Bodybuilding", which is also the first program in China with aerobics as the main content.
The woman's name is Ma Hua, born in Beijing, China in 1959. His father, Ma Xiaoxian, was a veteran who joined the army at the age of 18 and made great contributions to China's revolutionary cause.
I have to say that the reason why MCA was able to achieve a lot in the field of aerobics later was due to his father.
Ma Hua is the youngest daughter of her father Ma Xiaoxian, who was 41 years old in the year Ma Hua was born. The middle-aged daughter, coupled with the fact that Ma Hua's brothers and sisters have grown up**, Ma Xiaoxian naturally loves this daughter.
However, MCA was not raised to be arrogant and domineering because of his parents' preference. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she never relied on her father's favor to dictate to her brothers and sisters. On the contrary, she will also leave the delicious things for her brothers and sisters, and never fight for snacks, always pick the smallest one.
In addition to these, MCA has another advantage. Although she has been pampered since she was a child, she is not at all squeamish as the eldest lady, and she likes sports very much, and often takes her family to go for morning jogging and exercise early in the morning.
After MCA went to junior high school, he entered the school gymnastics team of Beijing No. 11 Middle School because he liked gymnastics. originally thought that her physical fitness was already very good, but she still underestimated the "devil training" of the gymnastics team, and often after a day of practice, her body was bruised and purple.
Even so, MCA gritted her teeth and persevered, she always remembered her father's teachings to herself: "Since you are a descendant of a soldier, you must always demand yourself according to the standards of a soldier." ”
After graduating from junior high school, MCA joined the army and officially became a soldier.
Most of the soldiers in the barracks were men, and looking at their strong muscles and vigorous posture, MCA was very envious.
At this time, MCA is still a little girl after all, and many sports for male soldiers are not suitable for her, so MCA is eager to find a fitness program suitable for girls to exercise.
Finally, after retiring from the army in 1985, MCA accidentally heard about the sport "aerobics" from a friend who returned from studying abroad, and I heard that it is very popular abroad and is also very suitable for girls to practice.
Originally, MCA could choose to turn to a civilian position in the army by virtue of her father Ma Xiaoxian, but she didn't want her father to "go through the back door" for herself, and second, she already had her own idea: to promote aerobics in China.
This is not an easy thing to do, after all, at that time, in China, let alone understand, even very few people had heard of this sport.
The first thing Ma Hua did for her bodybuilding career was to obtain a national aerobics referee certificate in 1989, which was undoubtedly a stepping stone.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared. In 1990, CCTV was preparing to launch a fitness program called "Five Minutes for Bodybuilding". At that time, many people in China had never even heard of the word "bodybuilding", and it became difficult to find a host.
Soon, MCA became one of the candidates for the host of this show by virtue of its own advantages, and defeated other competitors and successfully won the position.
At that time, as long as people turned on the TV, they would see the energetic MCA leading a bunch of people jumping and jumping inside, shouting: "Do it with me every day, 5 minutes a day, healthy and beautiful, longevity and longevity." ”
MCA talked about the benefits of calisthenics in front of the camera, which is not only easy and simple to do, but also makes women's bodies slimmer and more feminine. At the same time, regular calisthenics also has the effect of strengthening the body.
Gradually, calisthenics became popular in China. Whether it is an urban white-collar worker, a female college student, or a housewife, they have danced aerobics with MCA in front of the TV.
At the same time, with the broadcast and popularity of the show, some unpleasant gossip also came out.
In the nineties of the last century, people's thinking was still conservative. The program "Five Minutes for Bodybuilding" requires the host and students to wear tight-fitting bodybuilding clothing, so as to show their perfect curves in front of the audience.
Therefore, soon after the broadcast, this show and the host MCA were labeled as "improper", "immoral", and "too foreign".
However, the ignorant and backward ideological views of a small number of viewers cannot affect MCA's enthusiasm for calisthenics, nor can it change her determination to promote calisthenics to the whole country.
Although MCA himself was not affected, the family was not very comfortable with these rumors, so MCA's mother, older siblings and relatives persuaded MCA to give up the show.
At this moment, Ma Hua's father, Ma Xiaoxian, stepped forward. He expressed his attitude: as long as his daughter likes it, he is willing to support it, not to mention that calisthenics is not an unsightly sport, and MCA does not need to pay for some people's narrow-mindedness!
With her father's support, MCA is more confident and bold to continue her bodybuilding career.
In addition to being the host of the show, MCA also works as an aerobics instructor in a bodybuilding club called Yuetan Health City.
Most of the students who practice with MCA have never been exposed to aerobics, they are all zero-based, and there are many things that they don't understand in the early stage, and many movements are not in place.
As a coach, MCA has never shown any impatience with the students, and always tried her best to answer the questions raised by the students patiently, without any star shelves, and the students get along with her as teachers and friends.
It was in this club that MCA met his true destiny.
Guo Mingjie himself is one of the few male students in Ma Hua, and after following her for a few classes, he gradually developed a different kind of affection for this energetic, amiable and polite girl.
By chance, Guo Mingjie found that the comb teeth of the comb used by MCA had lost a few teeth, so he carefully selected a gorgeous and delicate comb to give to MCA.
When MCA saw this gift, he liked it very much, but he never used it, and he still used the old comb that was broken.
Guo Mingjie felt very puzzled, and after questioning, he learned that Ma Hua felt that the comb was too exquisite, and he was reluctant to use it.
After Guo Mingjie learned the reason, he was surprised and delighted. He was surprised that MCA, as a female star, was so simple, and he was happy that he didn't see the wrong person. Two days later, Guo Mingjie sent two ordinary wooden combs to MCA.
Ma Hua naturally knows Guo Mingjie's friendship with her, but at this time, she only wants to devote herself to her career, and love is not so important to her.
During this period, it was Ma Hua's sister Ma Li, who saw that Guo Mingjie was a man worthy of entrusting his life, and persuaded Ma Hua in every way. MCA agreed to Guo Mingjie's pursuit, and the two officially fell in love.
Ma Ma's vision is right, after falling in love, Guo Mingjie's attitude towards MCA not only did not have a trace of slackness, but became more considerate.
As long as MCA has classes in the club, before the end of the class, there will be Guo Mingjie waiting at the door of the club. Guo Mingjie knows that MCA is busy with work and knows that bodybuilding is MCA's dream, so he is willing to deal with some daily chores for her behind MCA's back, shelter her from the wind and rain, and become her strongest reserve army.
In 1992, the two entered the palace of marriage.
With her husband's help and support, MCA is more able to devote herself to her career.
In 1994, MCA decided to commercialize its own calisthenics and opened its own "MCA Fitness Club".
With MCA's star aura and outstanding bodybuilding ability, the club has been flooded with customers since its opening, and the footfall has greatly exceeded that of other health clubs in Beijing.
After the opening of the club, MCA became both a boss and a coach, and was busy recording various programs on TV stations.
With such work intensity, over time, even if the body is strong, it is inevitable that something will go wrong.
In February 2001, MCA was recording a ** sports variety show, but many people found that the situation of MCA was very wrong this time, and it was no longer full of vitality on weekdays. There are many deep and shallow, large and small purple red marks on the body.
Husband Guo Mingjie and Ma Hua's parents both think that Ma Hua should go to the hospital for a good examination, but in this regard, Ma Hua thinks that it is caused by an accidental fall while dancing two days ago, just a minor illness and pain, and he can't go to the hospital to toss. What's more, a trip to the hospital caused the club's students to have to delay their classes, so MCA insisted on refusing to go to the doctor.
The family also thought that MCA had always been strong and healthy, and he had never been to the hospital a few times since he was a child, so there should be no major incident, so he went with her.
However, fate played a great joke on this woman who had been smooth sailing for the first half of her life.
More than a month later, MCA's physical symptoms have not been alleviated, but have worsened a lot. The scars on his body are also getting bigger and bigger, and they must not be caused by falls. Shortly thereafter, MCA had a high fever for several days, a severe cough, and no strength in his whole body, even unable to get out of bed.
The family rushed the seriously ill MCA to the hospital, praying that there would be no incurable disease, but the doctor's examination results made them feel dead in an instant, it turned out that MCA had acute leukemia.
Due to the long delay, MCA has already missed the best time. If patients with acute leukemia do not receive regular ** in time, the average survival time is about 3 months, which means that MCA is likely to have only three months left in his life.
Although the chances are slim, the family still does not give up the opportunity to seek the best for MCA. At first, they concealed MCA's illness from MCA, telling her that it was just a minor illness and that she would be able to recover as soon as she recuperated.
At the same time, they told the hospital that no matter how much money is spent, even if it is bankrupt, as long as there is a way, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it must be treated.
In fact, MCA clearly knows what her body is conditioning, and in order not to worry her family, she always shows a very optimistic look. also promised his aunt that when she recovers, she will take her aunt to buy a lot of beautiful clothes. She said: "Now I may be making money, I make as much money as the fallen leaves in autumn, auntie, you have never worn good clothes in your life, I will take you to buy when I am better." ”
It's a pity that my aunt didn't wait for that day. Even though the Ma family and her husband's family are desperately trying to save it, MCA himself has a strong will to survive, and God still ruthlessly took away MCA's young life.
At 0:09 on September 22, 2001, the 41-year-old MCA stopped beating and breathing and passed away.
The funeral took place six days later. On the day of the funeral, it was gloomy outside, and there were many people on the field, some were colleagues from the entertainment industry and sports, and some were students who had taken MCA bodybuilding classes. They came from all over the world just to see MCA off for the last time.
At MCA's funeral, the posthumous photo was a ** of her wearing an aerobics suit with a moving smile, which was chosen by MCA himself before his death. At the same time, MCA also explained that after her death, there should be no black veil on the posthumous photo, and she hopes that she will always be full of vitality and will not be covered up.
Among them, a former student also brought a rose to MCA, she said that MCA's life is like this rose, free, warm, full of hope and vitality. If there is an afterlife, I hope MCA can still choose this way of life.
After MCA's death, her father, who had always loved her the most, a man who had been on the battlefield and had been bulleted, locked himself in his room and cried bitterly. Five years later, he also went with MCA.
MCA's life was short, but it was also brilliant. She has been working hard for her dreams all her life, and it is her unremitting efforts that have allowed calisthenics to be promoted in China, so that more and more Chinese women dare to pursue beauty and health, and there is no doubt that she is a well-deserved "bodybuilding queen" in China.
Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. In real life, none of us know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident, so we must be like MCA, seize every day of serious life, and be happy to fight with the world, and don't leave regrets.
