In 2015, world champion Li Xiaopeng took his "American" wife Angel Lee to a variety show. Angie Lee had a strong sense of superiority and she spoke English the whole time. The tough guy Wu Jing on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you please stop speaking English to me? You can't understand!"
Li Anqi said: "This is my freedom!"
Wu Jing then said: "This is a Chinese program , please respect the Chinese audience! "
When Li Xiaopeng was 21 years old, he met Li Anqi, who was only 14 years old, at his coach's house. She was lively and cute and occupied Li Xiaopeng's heart as soon as she appeared. He fell in love with her at first sight.
However, Li Anqi was only 14 years old at the time, and rationality controlled Li Xiaopeng. He was willing to wait for her to become an adult, and for her to grow up, so they got married when Li Anqi was 21 years old.
So what kind of love story is there between the two?
Li Xiaopeng was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1981. He was very talented in sports since he was a child. When he was 5 years old, his parents sent him to the famous gymnastics school in Changsha to receive more professional gymnastics training.
Li Xiaopeng worked very hard. He was the first one to practice basic skills every day. After long-term hard training and amazing bones, he finally successfully entered the national gymnastics team with excellent results and started a new chapter in his life.
In 1989, Li Xiaopeng relied on his hard work and talent to officially join the Hunan Provincial Gymnastics Team.
Later, under the guidance of Yi Shuji, the head coach of the provincial team, Li Xiaopeng was selected into the national gymnastics team at the age of fifteen.
Li Xiaopeng's gymnastics career is extremely brilliant.
He is not only considered a rare talent in the gymnastics world, but he is also the youngest athlete in my country to win the men's world championship.
In 1997, sixteen-year-old Li Xiaopeng won his first men's team championship in his life when he participated in the 33rd World Gymnastics Championships in Switzerland.
It was also during this year that Li Xiaopeng once again won the championship and runner-up trophies in the gymnastics competition of the 8th National Games in Shanghai and the World Cup Gymnastics Competition in Switzerland.
In Li Xiaopeng's career, he won a total of 4 Olympic gold medals and 16 world championships. His achievements have surpassed the "Prince of Gymnastics" Li Ning and became the first person in the history of Chinese gymnastics.
Li Xiaopeng, who is successful in his career, is also enviable in love.
In 2003, after Li Xiaopeng participated in a competition abroad and won the gold medal, he came to coach Li Xiaoping's home as a guest. He was attracted by the coach's 14-year-old daughter at a glance.
Li Anqi is well-educated and enthusiastic, making Li Xiaopeng fall in love at first sight. But after asking his teammates, he learned that Li Anqi, who looked quite tall, was actually only 14 years old.
Reason suppressed Li Xiaopeng. He and Li Anqi started out as friends, while Li Anqi treated him as an older brother and would tell him if he was unhappy about anything.
Li Anqi was indeed born in the United States. Her father is former gymnastics champion Li Xiaoping and her mother is athlete Wen Jia. After the two got married, they settled in the United States.
The two gave birth to Li Anqi in the United States. Although they were in the United States, their parents taught Li Anqi according to Chinese education and always passed on Chinese culture to her.
Li Xiaopeng is an Olympic gymnastics champion. He has won 16 world championships and 4 Olympic gold medals. Many people say that his achievements are second only to Li Ning.
Li Xiaopeng's coach is Li Anqi's father, Li Xiaoping, and he was the matchmaker who introduced his daughter to Li Xiaopeng. The two got along well. Li Xiaopeng also stayed at Li Anqi's home when he went to the United States to recuperate.
Li Xiaopeng also learned English specifically to communicate with Li Anqi, but Li Anqi already knew Chinese, but she was not very fluent. The two dated for seven years and got married in 2010. Li Anqi gave birth to a daughter and a son to Li Xiaopeng.
Anqi Li and Li Xiaopeng often appeared on shows after getting married, so at the beginning of the show, she spoke Chinese quite naturally. Although she was not fluent, basic communication was no problem.
Not only that, Li Xiaopeng took her to participate in many domestic talk shows. In the programs, Li Xiaopeng was often mentioned by the host how to communicate smoothly with his wife?
Li Xiaopeng also said that Li Anqi's Chinese communication was not a big problem. Moreover, when Li Anqi was in " Lu Yu has a date with ", she also introduced herself in Chinese.
And the crew can't communicate in English. Li Anqi's Chinese is not bad, and she can understand Lu Yu's questions, and the answers can almost be described as fluent.
All this shows that Li Anqi's Chinese is actually quite good, but then a very strange phenomenon occurred when she participated in the show. She often spoke English on the show, and sometimes it was in the form of interchange of Chinese and English, and sometimes it was mostly in English.
Especially in 2014, Li Xiaopeng and his wife participated in " The Amazing Race ". That time they received a task, which was to find Korean girls on the show. Li Anqi may have really not stayed in China for too long and couldn't tell the difference between Koreans and Chinese, so she couldn't find it after looking for it for a long time, so she complained a little.
It’s understandable that Li Anqi would complain, after all, it took too long to search. And they are both Asians. There are some similarities when you think about it. However, Koreans behave differently from Chinese people, so it is not difficult to find out.
Mainly because some viewers felt uncomfortable with what Angie Lee said. She said that she was born and raised in the United States and was a little unfamiliar with the appearance of Chinese people, so it was difficult to distinguish which one was Korean and which one was Chinese.
What Li Anqi said was true, but she also said that this task was too difficult for her. If she found an American, she could easily complete the task.
It seems that there is no one complaining about this. Are Chinese people so difficult to tell apart because of their appearance? This made the audience question her a little.
Although Chinese and Koreans both have oriental faces, after all, you can tell which one is Chinese from their appearance and demeanor.
What's more, Li Anqi's husband Li Xiaopeng is also Chinese, and her husband's family around her are also Chinese. What's so hard to tell?
However, in this program, we can still hear Anqi Li speaking Chinese, and her thoughts are quite clear. But then things gradually changed.
Li Xiaopeng and his wife Li Anqi took their children to participate in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" "In these two episodes, the audience was even more speechless because Angie Lee stopped speaking Chinese from these two episodes.
She spoke English all the time, fluently and standardly, but sometimes people couldn't understand her English, but she translated it very politely. She translated in Chinese.
is also a genius at this. Since she speaks Chinese quite well, why not use Chinese? However, Li Xiaopeng did not feel disgusted. He cooperated throughout the whole process. It can indeed be seen that Li Anqi is happy because her husband loves her very much.
After this attempt, Angie Lee always spoke English in other programs she participated in. Sometimes the program team felt it was inappropriate, but after all, out of politeness, they still obeyed the guests' ideas.
However, there was one time when Li Anqi and Wu Jing participated in a show together. This time she was in English all the time. The other guests could tolerate it, but Wu Jing could not tolerate it.
In 2010, when the two participated in the show "Let's Go to Love", Angie Lee caused a lot of controversy, which also affected her husband.
At that time, the program team invited Li Anqi and his wife, Wu Jing and his wife, and Guo Jingfei . Originally, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Unexpectedly, Li Anqi always spoke English and showed a sense of superiority from time to time.
In addition, she also talked about "we Americans" from time to time, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. At first, everyone said nothing out of politeness.
After a long time, the upright Wu Jing couldn't bear it anymore. He said to Li Anqi: "Can you please stop speaking English to me? I don't understand!"
Unexpectedly, Li Anqi said: "I just like English. What kind of English do you speak?" Language is my freedom!"
Wu Jing was angry and said: "This is a Chinese show, everyone is speaking Chinese!"
Such a conversation became a tinderbox and triggered the enthusiasm of netizens.
In the face of complaints from netizens, Li Xiaopeng defended his wife: "An Qi grew up in the United States and didn't know how to speak Chinese. Even when they fell in love, he always accommodated her and spoke English to her."
Let's analyze Li Xiaopeng from another aspect. I think he is right to protect his wife. In the face of pressure, if he does not stand up and speak for his wife, it will not be justified.
However, Anqi Li still needs some adjustments. After all, she married a Chinese and came to China. She also needs to slowly adapt to speaking Chinese. Especially as the wife of public figure Li Xiaopeng, she can also try hard to change. What do you think?
