During the 2024 Paris Olympics, the "Shining" combination that dominated the diving world 20 years ago once again became a hot search topic.
At that time, the self-media repeatedly reported rumors of a love affair between Guo Jingjing and Tian Liang, but the two never admitted it in front of the camera.
Now, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Guo Jingjing, the "Queen of Diving", has become the chief Olympic referee, supervising the referees' scoring of athletes. However, the former "Prince of Diving" Tian Liang took his wife and children to live broadcast in front of the Eiffel Tower.
While netizens were cheering and praising Guo Jingjing's new identity, Tian Liang took advantage of the popularity of the Olympics and went to Paris to live stream and sell clothes, which was very unpopular in the eyes of fans.
Both were glorious world diving champions in the past, but Guo Jingjing and Tian Liang appeared in the Olympic city with different identities. What kind of paths have they traveled over the years?
In 1981, Guo Jingjing was born in an ordinary family in Baoding, Hebei.
When Guo Jingjing was 6 years old, she started diving with coach Li Fang.
When he arrived at the provincial team, a pool attracted Guo Jingjing. The young Guo Jingjing endured her fear of water and overcame her fear of water.
Next, if she wants to continue on the path of diving, Guo Jingjing also needs to correct the natural protrusion of her kneecaps that affects her body shape. Guo Jingjing said nothing, gritted her teeth and trembled, endured the unbearable pain, and forced Corrections were made to the legs.
Even if his leg bone breaks during training, he still drags his leg with a plaster to watch his teammates train and learn.
At this time, the young Guo Jingjing’s tough character has begun to show signs.
Guo Jingjing, who was originally ordinary and fearful of water, was officially selected into the national diving team two years later because of her strong character support, and shared a dormitory with Fu Mingxia, who has become the youngest champion in Olympic history.
In the past 7 years, Guo Jingjing has been under the halo of Fu Mingxia.
If you can't make a breakthrough, then work hard to improve yourself. Guo Jingjing repeats monotonous and boring training every day without any complaints.
Until 2001, at the World Swimming Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, Guo Jingjing finally made a new breakthrough and won a total of 3 gold medals in the women's single, double 3-meter springboard and 1-meter springboard. From then on, the diving era ruled by Guo Jingjing began to come, and she won The prize is easy to get.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she won the women's, single and double 3-meter springboard gold medals respectively.
So far, Guo Jingjing, who has participated in the Olympic Games twice, has successfully won four Olympic gold medals in her life. Became the second player in China to win Olympic gold medals, with the same number of Olympic gold medals as Deng Yaping, Fu Mingxia, Wang Nan.
Guo Jingjing finally relied on perseverance to survive the dark days of her life, and with persistence and hard work, she secured her position as the "Queen of Diving".
However, the high-intensity training along the way also severely damaged Guo Jingjing's vision, and she almost lost her sight several times due to retinal detachment.
Guo Jingjing is still making a difficult decision, whether to continue to be the diving queen or choose to retire. The billionaire heir Huo Qigang , who had already chased the "diving queen" Guo Jingjing, encouraged Guo Jingjing to go out and see the outside world before making a decision. .
Because of Huo Qigang’s encouragement, Guo Jingjing strengthened her courage to take the initiative to go out into the world.
This leap made Guo Jingjing rise to be the chief referee of the Paris Olympic Games, and also allowed Chinese athletes to feel the confidence of their parents' support at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Guo Jingjing, who won 77 gold medals in her life, stepped down from the much-anticipated diving championship title. She was successfully proposed by Fok Qigang, the eldest grandson of a century-old Hong Kong family, and became the fourth generation matron of the Huo family.
Although she has the aura of a wealthy lady, Guo Jingjing has never been an accessory of a wealthy family. She relied on her own honors and personal integrity to create a dazzling self. Her father-in-law Huo Zhenting personally said proudly that he was grateful to Guo Jingjing for marrying her.
From the daughter of a working class to a world champion wearing the national flag, she used her own strength to add new glory to the Huo family.
used its own traditional virtues of the Chinese people to carry out a new round of inheritance throughout the Huo family.
broke the convention of wealthy families giving birth to children based on the time of day.
Li Ka-shing wants to protect his offspring closely, but Guo Jingjing dares to take her children with her husband to participate in a charity run and get close to nature and plant rice in the fields.
wears a 5-hair hair tie on his head, but he is low-key and responsible on the road of charity. During the epidemic, he went straight to the front line to express condolences to the people and medical staff, and also donated 70 million yuan in supplies.
The Hebei flood disaster and the Gansu earthquake relief were all worth 70 million yuan, and the total amount of donations has reached about 300 million yuan.
Even her mother-in-law, the first-generation Hong Kong sister Lingling Chu, was ordered not to appear in public. Not only can Guo Jingjing be herself, but she can also get the support of her whole family to continue to contribute to sports after retirement.
As the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, Guo Jingjing could have enjoyed a comfortable life of caring for her husband and raising children, but she went to study in a low-key manner and stunned everyone when she appeared on the stage.
serves as a referee who needs to travel around the world frequently and needs strong support from his family.
During this Olympics, Huo Qigang accompanied him throughout the whole process. His father-in-law Huo Zhenting attended the event. Even his brother-in-law Huo Qishan also worked very hard to stick to his brother and sister-in-law to help out.
It can be seen that after the much-anticipated Guo Jingjing married into the Huo family, she was still able to take the initiative in life into her own hands.
No need to be a comfortable rich lady, the Huo family still gave Guo Jingjing the confidence to be herself, and she lived a proper life and became the darling of the Huo family.
Seeing the look in Huo Qishan's eyes like a little fanboy, it's no wonder that the once famous prodigal son in Hong Kong circles changed his view on mate selection to be sister-in-law-oriented.
Compared with a wealthy lady who takes her husband's surname after getting married, Guo Jingjing, the "national daughter-in-law", is more like a wealthy "husband" who has read Shuangwen's script.
No wonder netizens will say: "Ladies can only compete with each other in beautiful clothes, but Guo Jingjing wears the national flag and braves the thorns. As long as she wears the gold, there is the accompaniment of the national anthem."
Tian Liang, who was also born in an ordinary family in 1979, has grown taller since childhood Well-behaved and lovable.
When Tian Liang was 7 years old, he was selected by the Chongqing diving coach and embarked on the diving path.
At the end of 1992, during the training camp, I met the "tomboy" Guo Jingjing, and they were selected into the national team together. They studied under Wu Guocun and Yu Fen, who had trained countless world champions respectively.
went from being the top student in the provincial team to becoming the “biggest star” of the national team’s talent pool.
The two of them cherish each other and often encourage each other.
Until 1997, the two won the mixed team championship at the 10th Diving World Cup. They stood out as handsome men and handsome women, and attracted countless fans. The "Shining" group has since become a household name.
Xiaohuadan in the diving world Quanhongchan was praised by netizens for making splashes smaller than those for cooking dumplings. At that time, Tian Liang was praised by foreign media as the prince of diving who would not disturb the surface of the water even when he entered the water.
It happened that the golden combination of Xiong Ni and Fu Mingxia was about to retire. The "sparkling" combination soon attracted the attention of the media.
After the Olympics, the two picked out rings at the same time and were accused of having a serious relationship.
But before Guo Jingjing came forward to respond to the matter, Tian Liang quickly announced that he was dating fellow countryman Liao Jianling, who had participated in the TV series "Pandaman" directed by Jay Chou.
Tian Liang, who also won more than 70 gold medals in various competitions at home and abroad, has a less smooth life path than Guo Jingjing.
Not long after Guo Jingjing publicized her relationship with Huo Qigang, the eldest grandson of Huo Yingdong, the relationship between Tian Liang and Liao Jianling also came to an end.
Officials later transferred Tian Liang back to the Shaanxi Diving Team on the grounds that he participated too much in commercial activities, affected training, and violated team discipline many times as an endorsement.
The original intention was to hope that Tian Liang would recuperate and serve the country again. But Tian Liang let himself go even more under the bright spotlight.
Especially in 2004, when the tsunami hit Southeast Asia, Tian Liang went to the disaster area not for disaster relief, but to take a series of photos. As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.
The next year, he even signed a contract with Emperor. With a wave of his hand, he only needed to sign his name, and he would earn 10 million yuan.
one after another challenged the national team’s low line of prohibiting endorsements, and even went to disaster areas to take photos blatantly.
Talent is cherished, but moral character is more important. Out of frustration, the General Administration of Sports made a determined decision to expel Tian Liang.
Even later, Tian Liang refused most of the commercial endorsements and strengthened his training, hoping to return to the national team. However, after repeated consideration, he still could not be accepted by the national team. Tian Liang ultimately missed the Beijing Olympics at home.
Disheartened, Tian Liang officially announced his retirement.
After retiring, Tian Liang was first robbed of his girlfriend by the second son of the Huo family, and then defrauded of 50 million by Huo Wenfang, the adopted son of the Huo family. In desperation, Tian Liang could only give up the old path of coaching or investment and business that retired athletes often take.
changed the track, entered the entertainment industry, and began to write the love story of Olympic champion Tian Liang and popular singer Ye Yiqian.
In 2007, Tian Liang partnered with An Yixuan to film the TV series "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", but the strength of the "Diving Prince" was far from that of a qualified actor.
barely managed to pass the test despite countless sighs from the director.
Recalling the courage and perseverance he had when he first learned to dive, Tian Liang inspired his inner universe and believed that he would be able to succeed in his career change as long as he studied hard and practiced hard.
With Tian Liang's efforts, he finally moved from actor to producer and producer. Gradually, Tian Liang won the recognition of the audience. Although it was tepid, he slowly gained a foothold in the entertainment industry.
In 2013, Tian Liang and his daughter Sen Die participated in the variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad", which allowed Tian Liang to return to the spotlight through the starlight of his daughter. Tian Liang, who became famous again, started to receive advertisements as softly as he did ten years ago. I filmed commercials and appeared on variety shows with my whole family, and made a lot of money.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the show, Tian Liang took advantage of the situation and launched his new book "Stinky Dad" written for Sendie's growth, which was another big hit.
At this time, Tian Liang had completely lost his Olympic aura. In addition to the entertainment industry, he also got involved in real estate and began to transform into a superman dad who was successful in various industries.
It stands to reason that Tian Liang has made a lot of money with his children over the years, and also made a lot of money from commercial endorsements. He has shops, villas, and apartments in the city center under his name. Any one of them costs tens of millions. He is already a veritable billionaire. Millionaire.
From Olympic champion to entertainment star to real estate tycoon, every frame is a legend. However, Tian Liang, who has free wealth and no worries about food and clothing, could have achieved greater achievements, but he chose to be as short-sighted as when he took photos of the tsunami in Southeast Asia. , the popularity of the Olympics has reached him, but unfortunately, the favorability of fans has been lost, which has also prevented him from going further.
originally had similar achievements, but the "Shining" combination of the past is no longer the same type of people.
Guo Jingjing has become the person in charge of the balance on the rostrum through her efforts, but Tian Liang is very busy in the 123 links.
