Who enlightened Kang Youwei's great-great granddaughter? Tang Hetian described his life in Australia like this.

I never thought I was a strong woman, but my husband was too busy, so I helped him because he was really tired. Tang Hetian, 4 1 year-old, former badminton world champion, now immigrates to Australia with his family.

"I never thought I was a strong woman, but my husband was too busy, so I helped him because he was really tired." Tang Hetian, 4 1 year-old, took advantage of the lunch break of the arena to quickly take out her daughter's racket and thread it for her. This is the life I have been used to for the last three months. I drive 50 minutes to the arena in the morning to open the door. At noon, I had to take out the racket to thread and put it on. After putting it on, the children who came to learn badminton in the afternoon arrived. After teaching children, it is 10 when driving home at night.

Many people envy her for not knowing the hardships of working here when she immigrated to Australia. If at home, a world champion like her can sit back and relax, teach for two hours a day and earn high tuition fees; Even after emigrating, many people no longer work so hard in this bank. She and her lover chose this lifestyle for life, for their love of badminton and for their children.

I immigrated to Australia in August and took my children to learn English.

Tang Hetian was the main player of women's doubles in China in 1990s. She represented the team in Sudirman Cup and Uber Cup, and won the championship. She won the bronze medal in women's doubles with Qin Yiyuan at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 65438-0996. But in recent years, it reappeared in front of China fans because Huang Sui, who ran away from the national team, suddenly represented Australia. The media reported that Huang Sui's matchmaker in Australia was Tang Hetian, so that many news about Tang Hetian in recent years were related to Huang Sui.

When he retired from the national team, Tang Hetian first worked as a coach in Japan for two months, and then went to Malaysia with his lover. Because my wife Yu Qi has a friend who wants to immigrate to Australia, I suggest the couple come over. Yu Qi, who originally liked living abroad, came to Australia with Tang Hetian, who was pregnant for eight months. When I first came, because of the language barrier and no friends around me, Tang Hetian couldn't help saying to his lover many times, "Let's go back!" Yu Qi told his wife to try harder for two years.

So Tang Hetian went to English class with an eight-month stomach. After having a child, because the kindergarten has to read a little book every night, she follows the child to learn from the basics. In a blink of an eye 14 years have passed, and now Tang Hetian can speak fluent English and communicate smoothly with foreign friends who come to play in the arena.

When I first came to Australia, Tang Hetian's family actually didn't support it. I have always felt that successful people like her, whether they are coaches or golf clubs in China, are doing their favorite jobs without so much pressure. Tang Hetian knows best the pressure of living here, but in the face of family persuasion, she is stubborn: "Since I have chosen, I will stay here." Later, my parents lived here for two years, and planted a small vegetable garden in their own small garden, which attracted the attention of many people passing by in China, so in the long run, my parents made many local friends, and only then did they feel the happiness of living here.

A self-reliant family of four personally went into battle to decorate the stadium.

When he first came to Australia, Tang Hetian settled in Melbourne. After retiring from the Australian national team, she rented someone else's arena to teach the ball. Although he has lived in Melbourne for 13 years, Tang Hetian doesn't like the climate here at all. It is very cold in winter, and he is always not used to it. I came to the Gold Coast for a holiday by chance. Tang Hetian fell in love with the climate here and decided to move his family to the Gold Coast. They first buy a property here to ensure a certain income, and the second plan is to realize their long-cherished wish-to get their own arena.

The author drove 50 minutes from the Gold Coast and turned a corner on the Pacific Highway. There is a sports goods sales square next to McDonald's, and you can see the stadiums of Tanghetian and Yu Qi near the innermost part. There are nine venues in it, and the whole facility is comparable to the best amateur arena in China. What makes her proudest is that her arena floor is wooden. There are not many badminton courts in Brisbane and Gold Coast, two big cities in Queensland, and most of them are paved with wooden floors on concrete floors. The locals have even become accustomed to such a venue, but after their stadium is settled, everyone knows that such a floor is the best knee pad.

Not many people came to play this morning, only rented three plots of land, and two waves were local Chinese, and Tang Hetian also played together. Another venue is also a local friend of Tang Hetian. She brought three children, plus her own China, an Australian friend and their four children, which made the whole meeting look very lively. The child who can't walk is crawling with his mother in the field. There is really no way, so this friend picked up the child in one hand and played ball in the other.

Although Melbourne is a big city, the land price of the Gold Coast is also expensive because it is a holiday city. After searching for a long time, the couple finally chose a supermarket between the Gold Coast and Brisbane, which is close to Brisbane. The supermarket has set aside half the space for them to transform into a stadium. I thought it would attract more badminton fans on the Gold Coast, but on the contrary, more people come from Brisbane every day.

The labor cost in Australia is very high, so the couple decided to spread tarpaulins on the roof themselves, and Tang Hetian also took his two children. Every morning, my wife starts shopping in the arena after 6 o'clock. At 8 o'clock, the worker who reformed the circuit came, and he was going back to his home in the Gold Coast to rest. At 4 o'clock in the evening, the children finished their classes. They took two children to work here until dark. Because it was February, at the hottest time on the Gold Coast, a family of four stood on the elevator and put on blindfolds, which took a whole week to complete. Reminiscent of the Genesis painted by Michelangelo on the roof of the Sistine Chapel.

Speaking of hard work, Tang Hetian just smiled. The arena was completed three months ago, and her hard life has just begun. It takes 50 minutes to drive here every morning, and the arena opens in the morning to rent space until noon. After eating some food brought back from home during the break, Tang Hetian put on all the rackets that needed threading. When she was a player, someone gave them a thread, so she was on her own here. She learned this craft from her lover and made it in the afternoon. There is a mattress for lunch break in the gym, but she hardly uses it because there are too many things to do. At four o'clock in the afternoon, a group of children came, learned the ball for two hours and sent them to an adult class for training. Driving home every day is already 10.

The work of the gold coast property is taken care of by the lover, and the two will change occasionally, but in any case, the time for the two to meet at the end of the day is numbered. Because they still like badminton, the couple also discussed selling their property when the arena is on the right track in September this year, moving their family to Brisbane, which is closer to the arena, and building their own arena wholeheartedly. "We know there are risks, but I still like badminton, so if I can do what I like, I still want to stick to it." Tang Hetian said that if he was in China, he might still have time to retire, but when he came here, there would be no such time limit. But for the sake of children, for the life of your choice, even if it is difficult, you must stick to it.

Tang Hetian threaded himself during the training interval.

He contributed to Australian badminton and trained Kang Youwei's great-great granddaughter Gloria.

Because the Sudirman Cup is being played on the Gold Coast these days, people who like badminton around here have gone to the city to watch the game, so the rental of venues during the day is not so tight these days. When there is no competition at ordinary times, it can be full almost during the day. 10 Australian dollars to play for three hours casually, and the children who learn the ball in her arena have a lesson for two hours for 30 Australian dollars, which is still very cost-effective. But even so, after coming here 14 years, badminton still can't change the lives of local people. Australians like outdoor activities, beaches and badminton, which require high technology and indoor activities can't attract them. So all the way from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, all the people who play in the arena are from China, and the locals are still a few.

After coming to Australia from China, he was first hired as a coach by the Australian national team. By chance, Tang Hetian was asked if he could play games. She has been retired for a long time, and she just has a try attitude. Who knew that she actually won the New Zealand Open women's doubles championship, so she actually resumed her career as an athlete and continued to play the Sudirman Cup until 20 13.

When I first came to Australia, the locals didn't know what badminton was. The whole Australian badminton team is also an amateur team. The training base of the Australian badminton team is in Melbourne. Everyone only trains for two hours a day, and even has to find their own place to exercise. Going abroad to compete is also at your own expense. Those who have jobs take part in the competition with their own money. Students may get some state subsidies, and the association may allocate 5,000 Australian dollars a year, and the rest will be on their own. Therefore, the promotion of the whole project in Australia is still in its infancy.

Since the Sudirman Cup started, less than 2,000 people have only half seats in the stands, and almost all of them have been reserved by China people. Tang Hetian, who used to go to Sydney to watch the Australian Open, was not surprised by such a scene.

Kang Youwei's great-great granddaughter

But in recent years, the Australian badminton team has packaged a star, that is, Gloria, Kang Youwei's great granddaughter, and of course, it is only limited to China. Because Australians don't know much about Kang Youwei, she is just an ordinary badminton player in the eyes of local people. Tang Hetian's lover is Gloria's first coach from the age of 8. Being sent to play badminton at that time was really zero-based. It is also a genius to reach today's level. About her life, at first, they only heard that her father was the great-grandson of Kang Youwei's wife, but because of her father's early death, Gloria's understanding of the family was limited. When she was selected as the world image spokesperson of A Dream of Red Mansions, she also accompanied her in activities in China.

The couple have been engaged in badminton training since they left the Australian national team, and some children have entered the national team. However, because most local Chinese still follow the traditional education methods in China, their children basically gave up badminton training in grade 12. On the contrary, some local people learn badminton and continue to play after 12. For the couple, the most proud apprentices now are their two sons and daughters, who have been personally trained since childhood. The child is also a high-level player in the Australian junior group, and there are more trophies at home than when Tang Hetian was an athlete. But for their children's future, they don't have too many requirements. My son likes football now, so he signed up for a football class to let him develop. Children's happiness is their greatest happiness, and it is also the most important reason why they finally choose to come here.

This is the life of Australian badminton people.
