In 23, Olympic champion Zhuang Yong married his teammate who was eight years older and gave birth to children in Britain-

On April 17th, 24, a healthy baby boy was successfully born with a cry in a hospital in Manchester, a city in the northwest of England.

Unlike the doctors and nurses with blond hair and blue eyes around, this baby boy has black fetal hair and is a typical oriental child.

The child's mother is from China, and she is the deputy general manager of a company called Tulip Advertising Media, acting like a strong woman in business.

However, she also has another identity, which once spread all over China, especially the identity that China National Men's Swimming Team has been catching up with for 2 years: Zhuang Yong, the first swimming Olympic champion in China.

Zhuang Yong didn't immigrate to any country after her success. Why did she give birth to her son in Britain?

On July 25th, 1992, the sun was shining in Barcelona, Spain, which was a sunny summer day and the first day of the 25th Olympic Games held here.

Zhuang Yong, then 2 years old, wore a red coat and waved to the audience. After a simple warm-up exercise, he slowly walked to the edge of the pool.

At this time, a magical idea suddenly flashed in her mind: Will her performance in the 1-meter women's freestyle competition, which is about to start soon, be a gold medal?

Having said that, the world record holder, American famous Jennifer Thompson, is just across the track.

In the just-concluded preliminaries, Thompson ranked first, setting an Olympic record with a time of 54.69 seconds. Zhuang Yong was fifth in the preliminaries with a gap of more than one second.

The 1m women's freestyle is not only the first event of the China Swimming Team, but also the first event of the entire China Olympic delegation.

However, Zhuang Yong's previous best result was only 55.6 seconds. Since China returned to the Olympic Games, there has not been a gold medal in the whole swimming event. Before the game, the coach's hope for her was probably satisfied with only a silver medal.

how effective can Zhuang Yong's sixth sense be?

At the sound of a command, Zhuang Yong, as slender as a fish, jumped into the water. Soon, the audience in China, who stood in front of the TV screen, was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhuang Yong and Thompson were neck and neck, and their advantages over other players were obvious.

As the finishing line approaches, Zhuang Yong has locked in at least one silver medal, and the gap between her and Thompson is almost indistinguishable with the naked eye.

At the end of the race, Zhuang Yong and Thompson hit the wall and raised their hands at the same time. It is still unknown who will win the championship. The dream of China Swimming Team can only be verified on the huge electronic screen of the stadium.

When this name was typed, the mood of all China people who were watching TV reached its peak: Zhuang Yong.

This precious gold medal is not only the first gold medal of China in the Barcelona Olympic Games, but also the first gold medal of the entire China swimming team in the Olympic Games history.

In the next 2 years, this gold medal has been an honor that the men's swimming team can't catch up with. It was not until the London Olympic Games in 212 that Sun Yang achieved its historical breakthrough.

Zhuang Yong's magical premonition before the competition seemed like fate, because besides Zhuang Yong, there were also "Golden Flowers" such as Lin Li, Qian Hong and Yang Wenyi in this Olympic Games. These good sisters also won gold medals in their respective events, but due to the schedule, their gold medals came half an hour later than Zhuang Yong's.

One year later, the 7th National Games was held, and Zhuang Yong won one gold, one silver and one bronze again in the fierce battle with the champion teammates, which shows that his state has not declined.

People look forward to Zhuang Yong, Lin Li, Qian Hong, Yang Wenyi and Wang Xiaohong, the "five golden flowers", creating the golden age of women's swimming in China.

Unexpectedly, when everyone didn't expect it, Zhuang Yong suddenly announced that he would quit the national team and leave the field completely.

Zhuang Yong has a very obvious age advantage. She was born on August 1th, 1972 and was less than 2 years old when she participated in this Olympic Games.

If you work hard, maybe people will see her on the top podium again at the Atlanta Olympic Games next year or even the Sydney Olympic Games eight years later.

What caused this athlete who has gone down in history to suddenly make a gorgeous turn?

In fact, Zhuang Yong decided to retire and change careers, which can be said to be partly due to the swimming that brought her great honor.

Before the Olympic Games, Zhuang Yong had won the 5m freestyle in the World Swimming Championships, won several Asian Games titles and broke the Asian record.

Counting the Olympic Games and the National Games, it can be said that a female swimmer in China has won gold medals in all the competitions, and she has no regrets in her swimming career.

At this point, the pain accumulated in Zhuang Yong's harsh training forced her to start thinking about what kind of identity she should live in when she is too old to swim anymore.

Today, Zhuang Yong has great fame, but in China in the early 199s, due to the backward domestic economic level, this fame could not bring more benefits except the honorary titles of "Excellent athlete since the 45th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China" and "Red Flag Bearer on March 8th".

So Zhuang Yong decided to go abroad.

This was a very common choice at that time. There were many people who took similar paths in China and Zhuang Yong. For example, among the five golden flowers, Lin Li and Wang Xiaohong went to the United States to work hard, and Wang Xiaohong studied computer courses in American universities. Later, he joined Lucent, a famous international company, and became an engineer.

Zhuang Yong's first step didn't go that far. She came to Hongkong, the main window of China's foreign exchange at that time.

At that time, Hong Kong was synonymous with trends and fashions in China. Every time Hong Kong film and television dramas such as "Shanghai Beach" and "Legend of the Condor Heroes" were broadcast, they were deserted, and Zhuang Yong naturally watched them.

As the first step to Hong Kong, Zhuang Yong wants to join the entertainment industry and realize her dream of becoming a famous star.

It's a pity that the fame brought from the mainland is useless after changing the environment and work. She can only get small roles in some movies, and no one cares. The little girl who only has a few shots and flashes by was actually standing in Barcelona two years ago, holding the trophy that attracted much attention.

It's the same for everyone to leave home in pursuit of dreams, not because of Zhuang Yong's Olympic champion status. Seeing that the road in the entertainment circle is getting narrower and narrower, Zhuang Yong has to find another way to make a living again.

The Olympic champion still brought good resources for swimming. In 1995, Phoenix Satellite TV in Hong Kong hired her as the commentator and music presenter of swimming competition, and Zhuang Yong had a brand-new source of income.

During his stay in Hong Kong, Zhuang Yong married a host named liuyong, who was a professional host in the field of sports, including the Asian Games, the Olympic Games, the swimming championships and other events that Zhuang Yong once struggled for.

Unfortunately, this marriage didn't go far because of their similar interests. After the marriage, they completely left China and moved to Singapore, which made Zhuang Yong feel a little at a loss.

Family conflicts quickly escalated to irreconcilable levels, and eventually the wise two chose to break up.

However, Zhuang Yong's long-distance overseas trip was not without gains. On the contrary, she lost her corner and harvested mulberry trees, which laid the biggest foundation for her to complete the real transformation of her life.

During her tenure at Phoenix TV, Zhuang Yong and a woman named Wang Min became good girlfriends.

Wang Min is also a strong Shanghai woman wandering in Hong Kong. Before that, she was even a neighbor of the same community with Zhuang Yong. It was "meeting an old friend in another country" that their close relationship completely cured Zhuang Yong's emotional failure.

In Wang Min's view, it is a complete waste of incalculable commercial value for Zhuang Yong to go to such a small place as Hong Kong with a name that is brilliant in the mainland.

All Zhuang Yong's achievements are given by the motherland. If she really wants to realize her greater ideals, she can only return to her hometown, Shanghai, which is already at the starting point of economic take-off.

In 1998, Wang Min invited Zhuang Yong to set up "Tulip Media" company in Shanghai, whose main business was outdoor advertising.

outdoor advertising in Pudong Airport, Hongqiao Airport, Xujiahui and other most famous locations in Shanghai and even the whole of Shanghai is their business scope.

Wang Min's business vision is very accurate. Ordinary companies may not know how much extra energy it takes to win a customer in a prime location in Shanghai, but when Zhuang Yong, the pride of Shanghai and the first gold medal in Olympic swimming, is opposite, everything will be solved.

Many companies know Zhuang Yong's identity as an Olympic champion as soon as they hear her name, and rarely refuse her request for a home interview.

While listening to Wang Min's instructions, he groped for his own ideas, and at the same time communicated with Olympic champions like Li Ning and Li Xiaoshuang, who entered Shanghai earlier. Zhuang Yong took out the hard work he had learned to swim in those years, treated every negotiation project he took over carefully, and finally succeeded in getting the customers to sign the contract with confidence and pay off the money.

In just five years, the staff of Tulip Media has grown to 5-6 people, and the company has also published two magazines, Financial Weekly and White-collar Weekly.

Behind this, it is the bitterness that two female girlfriends face numerous setbacks and problems, and even cry together in the most difficult time.

Fortunately, after the devil's swimming training, these setbacks made Zhuang Yong feel tired at most, and then she wiped her tears and discussed with Wang Min how to solve the problem again.

In 23, Zhuang Yong ushered in the two biggest happy events in life after the Olympic Games.

The first thing is that she met Shen Jianqiang. Shen Jian is strong. She is 8 years old, and she is also a famous swimmer in Shanghai. She is good at freestyle like Zhuang Yong, and has won many China and Asian championships and the top ten in the world.

Coincidentally, Shen Jianqiang was Zhuang Yong's teammate in the national team, but later he chose the University of Tsukuba as his study destination after retiring, so he missed the fate with Zhuang Yong for several years.

Fortunately, there is a saying, "What belongs to you will come sooner or later". After returning to Shanghai, Shen Jianqiang also has his own swimming club, but he never interferes with his wife's business in the advertising company. They are both busy with their own careers, and Zhuang Yong is very satisfied with her husband's understanding.

Shen Jianqiang, who is steady, always gives in to his wife in life, because in his view, "the work of outdoor advertising is particularly tiring, and her body needs special maintenance, so I hope she can have more rest."

But despite her husband's good intentions, Zhuang Yong's career is on the right track, so how can she rest easily?

After five years of exposure, Zhuang Yong has already learned to distinguish business opportunities, and there is a great opportunity waiting for her: LED advertising.

it seems that the led has only three letters. in fact, the cost of a screen is 3 million yuan, which is even enough to start several companies.

Jiang Nanchun, a media mogul, once wanted to March into LED advertising, but she couldn't make up her mind in the face of high cost. Can a woman who became a monk halfway through the sports session in Zhuang Yong surpass her media predecessors?

Zhuang Yong is confident. She has seen the world. She knows that there are several huge LED electronic screens in Times Square in new york, USA, and the sales of those screens are at least ten times that of China.

Shanghai's prospects will not be worse than new york's. How can it be impossible to make LED?

after repeated and careful investigation and discussion, Zhuang Yong and Wang Min, with a stroke of a pen, hired the whole team to make LED screens for Times Square in new york, determined to become the largest LED media operator in China.

Two powerful women with sophisticated eyes are sure that LED will be the general direction of advertising in the future, and the key advertising spots in several key cities in China will become valuable and worthless gold resources.

as long as the landmark buildings in the core business district are guaranteed to be LED screens of tulips, tulips will become the rule makers of the game.

Zhuang Yong, who has grown rapidly in the business world, is not what she used to be. Her relationship with Wang Min has become an inseparable partner, so her position in the company has also become vice chairman and vice president.

However, Zhuang Yong still hasn't finished her Olympic champion bonus in that year. The next opportunity really made her realize how much her hard work in swimming and winning the Olympic Games have influenced her life.

In 27, in every corner of Beijing, all kinds of big projects are in full swing. As everyone knows, this is for the Beijing Summer Olympic Games to be held next year.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and it is also a manufacturing machine with billions of dollars. For the Olympic Games, many unprecedented projects are given the green light, only to see who can sign the contract from the Beijing government.

Zhuang Yong has targeted a big customer, Beijing Radio and Television Media Group, and the other party needs to arrange 1 to 15 large LED color screens in Beijing. That is to say, this order is enough to make Zhuang Yong's worth pass the threshold of "1 million".

Beijing Radio & TV Station learned that Olympic champions were involved in the Olympic project, and the negotiations between the two sides were exceptionally smooth. It took only 17 days for Zhuang Yong to successfully return to Shanghai with the contract.

Zhuang Yong is not only happy to win the big deal, she always remembers that all her luck came from the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, but also from the state's cultivation of herself.

Therefore, I devote myself to the Beijing Olympic Games and work with extra honor and pride.

whether in the swimming pool or on land, she will win glory for her country.

Zhuang Yong and Shen Jianqiang have been traveling abroad all the year round because of their career needs, and their marriage certificates were also obtained in the United States, so it is not surprising that their son was born in Britain.

Later, Zhuang Yong gave birth to a daughter in England. According to local laws, both the brother and sister have British nationality.

Having been to so many countries in the world, the most unforgettable thing for Zhuang Yong is still the country she dreamed of starting-Spain.

Zhuang Yong, who is now worth over 1 million yuan, is no longer the one who wears simple sportswear by the swimming pool in Barcelona and can only look at Spain.
