However, who could have imagined that this exceptional champion was a minor sick man who was so weak in his childhood that he was almost in the hospital?
Choose gymnastics only for exercising
Cheng Fei, a tough little life, was born in an ordinary family.
What was originally a warm life was quietly changed due to her health problems.
Since she was born, illness seems to have become a regular visitor to her – frequent colds and fevers have always followed, and each time she needs to be cared for by her parents, and she travels frequently to and from the hospital.
They chose to stay by her side just for her health and growth, and gymnastics has become a unique way to protect her health.
At first, the doctors were familiar with this delicate little girl, and even gave careful dietary advice, but the results were not obvious.
Although Cheng Fei frequently suffers from minor illnesses, they are all trivial problems, which makes her parents not panic too much despite worry.
As Cheng Fei grew up and entered primary school, her health was not satisfactory, and frequent minor illnesses forced her to take frequent leave to go to the hospital.
This makes the hearts of parents full of worries, they are worried that Cheng Fei is always struggling between ** and the course, other children are busy with tutoring, and Cheng Fei is catching up with her studies in illness, this situation makes them deeply troubled and do not know how to solve it properly.
During a school team activity, the teacher unexpectedly discovered Cheng Fei's unique talent - her body is more flexible than usual, and those tricky movements for her classmates are a piece of cake for her.
After careful consideration, the teacher took the initiative to communicate with Cheng Fei's father and put forward a forward-looking suggestion: let Cheng Fei participate in physical exercise training, which will not only benefit her physical health, but also may open up a career path with unlimited potential for her.
At first, Cheng Fei's father was purely motivated by his simple desire for his daughter's health, hoping that she would become strong through exercise and reduce her illness.
In this way, Cheng Fei embarked on a gymnastics learning journey, but at that time she was still in the stage of family enlightenment, and she was not exposed to professional training, and her father was guided at home.
Once, her father strictly urged Cheng Fei to invest in gymnastics training every night, and on weekends she devoted almost all of her leisure time to this sport, so her life was full of hardships.
Watching her peers frolicking freely, Cheng Fei's heart was full of helplessness and boredom with monotonous gymnastics practice.
The magic of exercise is beyond imagination, and Cheng Fei's body immunity has been significantly improved, which makes his father deeply gratified.
As she grew up, her father guided her to find a professional gymnastics coach, who was attracted by Cheng Fei's physique, and since then, her gymnastics road has officially opened under the guidance of the scientific system.
Under the guidance of professional coaches, Cheng Fei's gymnastics skills have achieved an amazing leap, and those movements that were once unattainable are now easy for her.
With her outstanding performance, the Wuhan Sports Institute immediately threw an olive branch to her.
However, when they saw that their daughter was about to spread their wings, Cheng Fei's parents were full of contradictions and worries.
The original intention was only for the baby daughter to exercise through gymnastics to strengthen her body and stay away from illness, but she did not expect her to show amazing talent.
As a parent, I should be full of joy to see her growth, but years of hard work and meager income have not achieved the expected economic benefits, and now the family is financially constrained, and it is difficult to support Cheng Fei to continue her studies.
We are eager for her talent to blossom, but we are constrained by the pressures of reality.
Cheng Fei deeply understands the hardships of the family, and the guilt of her parents' hard work swells deep in her heart.
She had silently intended to sacrifice her studies to lighten their burden.
However, she was touched by the determination of her parents who exceeded her expectations.
With their selfless love and hard work in just a few days, they miraculously raised her tuition fees.
Her parents' words were full of encouragement, and they expected her to travel lightly and concentrate on her studies without any psychological burden.
This deep love and support made Cheng Fei more determined to study.
Embracing the tuition fees that her parents had scraped together, Cheng Fei firmly stepped into the Wuhan Sports Institute, and at that moment her heart was heavy, and she was secretly determined to repay her parents for their hard work.
As soon as she entered the school, Cheng Fei seemed to become a never-ending machine, tireless, in the face of every difficult action, she chose to adhere silently until she mastered it perfectly, and practiced her oath with action.
Cheng Fei's determination deeply touched her coach, Zhao Hanhua, who at first thought it was her passion for sports that drove her to work tirelessly.
However, after in-depth understanding of Cheng Fei's background, he found that behind this love was the unknown pressure of a young girl.
Zhao Hanhua deeply understands that as an athlete, excessive psychological pressure is not good news.
It can certainly stimulate enthusiasm for practice, but excessive stress is like a double-edged sword, and it is easy to cut the mind.
Far from directly improving performance, too much psychological burden can erode the resilience of athletes.
In the long run, the consequences will be immeasurable.
Zhao Hanhua had an in-depth conversation with Cheng Fei, and his deep understanding touched Cheng Fei and made her emotionally broken, and both of them were moved.
In the face of this talented and persevering little girl, Zhao Hanhua deeply felt her maturity and difficulty, and was determined to do his best to support and tap her potential.
Since then, Zhao Hanhua has regarded Cheng Fei as his own, he not only ensures that Cheng Fei can always enjoy his love box lunch, this special care not only saves her food and beverage expenses, but also allows her to enjoy balanced nutrition.
He even intimately helped Cheng Fei apply for hardship assistance, and with her excellent performance, he successfully reduced the huge pressure on her parents on tuition fees.
Zhao Hanhua's kindness and selflessness are like a beam of light illuminating Cheng Fei's life path.
Cheng Fei lived up to the high expectations of the coach, her performance was outstanding, and she became the most shining star under the coach.
With the Provincial Games approaching, Zhao Hanhua was full of expectations to encourage Cheng Fei to participate, and despite her apprehension, she finally participated in the best condition.
However, this competition unexpectedly pushed Cheng Fei and Zhao Hanhua to the road of separation.
The "king of sports" on the field
In the heat of the arena,"The king of gymnastics"With her outstanding performance, Cheng Fei immediately attracted the attention of provincial gymnastics coach Qian Kui.
At the end of a game, Coach Zhao Hanhua received an emergency call from the provincial team before Cheng Fei left the field.
For Cheng Fei's selection, Coach Zhao Hanhua readily agreed without hesitation and immediately approved her to join the provincial team, showing that he attaches great importance to sports talents.
When Cheng Fei reluctantly said goodbye and hugged Zhao Hanhua with tears in her eyes, it was an expression of an 11-year-old child's endless dependence and fear on the coach.
Although Zhao Hanhua's heart is full of nostalgia for her, he knows that Cheng Fei's future is extremely important.
After careful consideration, he firmly supported Cheng Fei to embark on a new journey for the provincial team.
Coach Qian Kui's eyes are like torches, and Cheng Fei's talent is undoubtedly evident in his eyes.
As his protégé, she is at ease in the field of gymnastics, showing amazing fit time and time again.
Under the careful guidance of Qian Kui, Cheng Fei has participated in many competitions and accumulated rich practical experience, and her skills are increasing day by day, and she is steadily moving towards new heights.
In just two years, Cheng Fei was regarded as a treasure by the national team, and Coach Qian Kui did not hesitate to teach her to the national family, when Cheng Fei was only 13 years old.
After joining the national team, Cheng Fei's enthusiasm and determination doubled, because she understood that this place symbolized a real arena.
Her goal is clear and firm, that is, to fight for the honor of her country through her own efforts.
Cheng Fei's era is shining at its peak, and her glorious chapter is shining: winning countless honors for China, the gold medal is like a bright star, and she is the only champion in the women's vaulting arena"Cheng Fei jumped"This magnificent action is thus engraved in history.
However, the years are merciless, and at the age of 25, she bids farewell to the arena due to an accident, but she opens a new chapter of her life with tenacity - healing and transformation.
Released after retirement?
When Cheng Fei's figure reappeared in the public eye after retiring, people's eyes were often attracted by her increasingly round body, and they couldn't help but worry about her health, speculating whether she was a little too much"Indulgence"。
However, what is less known is that her life after retirement was actually full of challenges and hardships.
Although after saying goodbye to the field, I focused on ** and suspended my workouts, but this is not the main reason for the change in the average person's body.
For Cheng Fei, it may be because she needs to take drugs containing hormones for a long time during her injury, coupled with the reduction in exercise, which leads to weight gain, which is understandable.
Cheng Fei in front of her seems to have a 200-pound body, and the years have quietly pushed her to a new chapter at the age of 36, but she has not yet found the mr. in her heartright。
This made her father deeply worried, hoping that his daughter's body could regain its former vitality and meet the right person in her life as soon as possible.
