was humiliated when he was a child, and was scornfully called "Cinderella" by his father
Two years after the end of the Second World War, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in the small town of Terre in Austria with a population of only 1,200, although his father was a local Sheriff, but the family’s economic conditions are not better than other residents in the town. Arnold grew up in a dilapidated hut, without a phone, no refrigerator, not even the most basic toilet. He recalled the highlight moment when he was young when he bought a refrigerator at home. What's worse is that the dilemma of life did not unite this small family. Arnold has lived under the oppression and bullying of his father and brother since childhood. The father who retired from World War II injury and was accustomed to gunfire couldn’t understand his younger son’s obsession with body and beauty. He disliked him for not being masculine enough. He mocked him face-to-face as "Cinderella" and even suspected that Arnold was not born with him; his brother also continued his father’s His personality and style have bullied him from time to time. The two most important male roles in his life constituted his gloomy memories of his childhood and adolescence, and to some extent have become an important driving force for his American dream. Only the mother played a gentle role in his life.
Many years later, Arnold became the most iconic bodybuilding star in the world with his hard work. However, his father and brother did not end well. His father died of a stroke and his brother died in a car accident. He refused to attend the funeral of both of them. , Can be regarded as an act of severing kinship.
The reason why Arnold did not attend his father’s funeral has always been a mystery. He once included this paragraph in the documentary "Schwarzenegger's Bodybuilding Road" to prove that in order to win, he must maintain the ultimate mental power during the preparation phase. Disturbed by anything; later he and the producer clarified that this was only for theatrical effect, the real Arnold was not so ruthless; and Arnold's first girlfriend to formally dated recalled that he had no mood swings in the face of his father's death.
However, Arnold is not so ruthless, because after his brother died, he still chose to help raise his brother's children and help him immigrate to the United States. When
decided to practice bodybuilding when he was a teenager, his dream of going out of Austria
immigrating to the United States was Arnold Schwarzenegger's childhood dream, so he also believed that this was the best arrangement for his younger generation. In that era and small town where supplies were scarce, Arnold’s parents practiced strict educational concepts: “At that time, Austria was a completely different world. If we did something bad or went against the wishes of our parents, A club education is inevitable.” The freedom and dreams that the United States preached and disseminated supported Arnold’s growth. He believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he could one day live a prosperous life in the United States without having to endure hunger. Hungry and oppressed by others.
made a decision for himself when he was fourteen or five. He wanted to practice bodybuilding, weightlifting, and pursue the ultimate muscle line and body proportions. "Missing any workout will make me restless."
Steve Reeves, a famous American bodybuilder, has a deep influence on Arnold. He was one of the first athletes to publicly display his muscles on a global platform. He has won countless honors, not only Arnold, but Stallone is also his loyal fan. In Arnold's mind, the American athlete is not only an idol, but also a collection of his American dream, which is of great significance to him. In 2000, when Steve passed away, Arnold also issued a reminiscence to him: "Steve Reeves has accompanied me throughout my youth, and his history has left a name.My achievements have opened up a whole new world for me, so I can be lucky enough to achieve those successes. "
childhood oppression and professional idols planted an American dream in Arnold's heart: "Every time I am beaten, every time someone denies me and tries to make me obey, I will tell myself that this will not be too long. , I will move out of here one day! I want to be a person with a surname and be remembered. "The bodybuilding competition became his weapon and big move to break the game, so that during the later period of service, he also participated in the competition illegally, and was sentenced to a week of imprisonment in a military prison... "Participating is too important for me, so that sometimes I ignored the consequences. "
