On January 24, 2014, a shocking news came from the Chinese table tennis world. , which is expected to become the leader of the new generation of women's table tennis team, suddenly announced her retirement. At that time, she was only 26 years old.
You should know that Guo Yue, known as the "Tomboy", is the youngest world champion in Chinese history, and she has won the championship thirty-six times throughout her career.
, however, is such a famous table tennis player with an unlimited future, but he chose to retreat bravely and faded out of the public's vision. By the time she appeared again, the "tomboy" who had neat short hair had become a gentle and intellectual long-haired "goddess" and also a strong woman.
She lives in a luxury house and drives a luxury car. At the age of 34, she still has no plans to marry her boyfriend. She devotes herself to her career, which makes people surprised and can't help but feel admiration.
What happened in the past eight years? How did she accomplish this amazing transformation? If you think today's content is good, you can collect it in a circle and read it slowly!
debuted at a young age and announced his retirement at the peak. At the time of his peak, he announced his retirement
ITTF Chairman Salala Once commented on Guo Yue: "My favorite player is Guo Yue, a 16-year-old Chinese girl. Her future will be bright, and she will be the new hope of the Chinese team."
holds the racket with his left hand, his eyes are full of murderous aura, and his playing style is fierce and sharp. You really can't believe that all these traits will appear in a girl who is only 16 years old.
What is even more amazing is that Guo Yue is mature, witty and calm far beyond this age. People seem to see the shadow of Deng Yaping from her back then.
The saying "The peak of his debut" is not an exaggeration to Guo Yue. In 2004, Guo Yue won the women's team championship with the team at the 47th World Table Tennis Championships, becoming the youngest world champion in Chinese table tennis history. At that time, she combined thousands of "porn" and became the focus of media attention around the world.
But such an honor is just the beginning, and she has been out of control since then, shining in various world competitions and winning one championship after another. People at that time could have predicted that soon China's table tennis world would usher in another representative female leader.
Behind every successful man is a woman who makes silent efforts, and behind every successful child is a parent who has cultivated along the way.
Guo Yue was born in Anshan, Liaoning in 1988. His parents are both extremely ordinary workers. If it weren't for the accidental decision of his father, Guo Yue might have lived a very mediocre life in his life.
When Guo Yue was six years old, his father sent him to the city sports school to study table tennis. At first, his father just wanted her to have a strong body, but Guo Yue showed great talent.
After only more than two years of training, her skills have begun to crush her peers, and she was selected to the provincial sports school. At that time, she was the youngest and shortest player in the provincial team.
But the fighting spirit on her made no one dare to underestimate her. With his unyielding nature and down-to-earth attitude, Guo Yue's skills have been improving by leaps and bounds, and he was finally selected as the Liaoning Provincial Team with the first place. After
, Guo Yue began to make his mark in various competitions. Many people noticed this short-haired girl from Anshan , and the title of "Tomboy" came because of this.
At the 1999 Asian Invitational, Guo Yue won the first international competition championship in her life, and this championship also became her key to the national team.
As we all know, our country has an absolute dominant position in the field of table tennis, which makes it more difficult to achieve good results at home than internationally. Of course, the premise is that you must have the capital to participate in the world competition.
, and Guo Yue did a good job in both aspects. After she became the youngest national player, she trained harder than before, and this continuous effort also brought her a meaningful gold medal.
In the 2004 Doha World Table Tennis Championships, Guo Yue won the championship and became the youngest champion in the history of Chinese table tennis. She was only 16 years old at that time, and that championship officially started her journey of glory. In the next ten years, she won gold medals thirty-six times and officially became the leader of the new generation of Chinese women's table tennis.
But just when everyone thought she would create new glory, the 26-year-old suddenly withdrew from the national team, ending her promising career. The statement issued by the national team at that time was as follows: Guo Yue was adjusted out of the national team due to the cervical spine disease.
In fact, for a table tennis player, the age of 26 is not very old, and some people can maintain their peak state even at the age of 30.
It is said that even if the condition declines, Guo Yue should not end her career like this. But perhaps because the injury is too serious, the women's table tennis national team lost an outstanding player with unlimited potential.
This incident once caused an uproar on the Internet, and many people began to speculate on the real reason why Guo Yue left the team. Although the official statement she was forced to retire due to injury issues.
But there are still some false rumors circulating on the Internet, and some people even said that she violated the interests of the national team for her own selfish interests, and she was "swept out".
Faced with these false rumors, the national team coaches Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui have publicly supported Guo Yue, but Guo Yue himself did not explain any of this.
Facts have proved that rumors will eventually be self-defeating in the face of the truth. At the end of 2014, with Guo Yue as the coach of the Liaoning Provincial Women's Table Tennis Coach, all false rumors about her were wiped out.
After retiring, she turned to campus and achieved a gorgeous transformation
In fact, after retiring due to injury, Guo Yue once tried to return to the arena, but her physical condition really did not allow it, so she could only turn her life in another direction.
After she got rid of the busy training, she had more time to think about her future, and soon she had a brand new idea in her mind - to take the college entrance examination.
For a person who has won a world championship, it is simple to go to college, and you can even give it a direct admission. But Guo Yue did not choose to "take the shortcut".
She knew that her cultural foundation was particularly poor, but she still chose to rely on hard work to realize her dreams. What is even more admirable is that she chose a finance major with a particularly high difficulty coefficient, which opened the second challenge in her life.
"The reason why table tennis players can achieve brilliant achievements is due to their progress, wisdom and strong willpower. They can become excellent athletes and naturally make achievements in other fields." This sentence from the national table tennis coaching team came true. With hard work, Guo Yue successfully passed the professional examination.
July 22, 2015, this day was Guo Yue’s 27th birthday. She announced a good news to her fans on social media - she successfully obtained the MBA admission letter sent by from the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University.
This means that from that moment on, Guo Yue will officially enter another stage of her life, and her identity has also changed from a coach to a student.
When she appeared in the public eye again, the former "tomboy" had transformed into a gentle and intellectual "goddess". Her long and fluttering hair made many people fall off their chins.
Some people even joked that Guo Yue had a "plastic surgery" because she used to have clean and neat short hair and her style was generous and refreshing. Such a change was really unpredictable.
However, this change also means that Guo Yue has officially entered her new life. Although she can no longer continue to win glory for the country, she can still shine in other fields she loves.
When her life was in a trough, she was not disappointed and confused, and did not complain. Instead, she walked out of the bottom of her life with an extremely full spirit.How could Guo Yue fail to succeed like
?
Anyone who is familiar with Guo Yue knows that she has an extremely strong "resilience" in her body, she never complains about any objective factors, and always solves the problem from her own perspective.
So whether it is a table tennis player or a student, as long as she is firm enough inside, she will definitely be able to realize her dream.
After entering the university campus, Guo Yue became more intellectual. Whether in terms of appearance or daily dressing, it is difficult to connect her with an athlete. It can be said that she has completed a gorgeous transformation in her life. Of course, only Guo Yue himself can understand the hardships behind this transformation.
Countless nights of hard study and countless persistence after slackness, a drop of water may not be eye-catching, but the trickle will eventually converge into a vast ocean. No one's success can be achieved overnight. Learning is not an easy task for the 26-year-old Guo Yue, but she still did it. After
has the first step of laying the foundation, the next study will naturally be no problem for Guo Yue. Although she started later than most people, she still caught up with her hard work. In the following years, Guo Yue passed the postgraduate entrance examination in this major and successfully obtained his master's degree.
After walking out of the ivory tower, Guo Yue's overall temperament seemed more outstanding, and the baptism of knowledge made her more connotational. When sentimentality and intelligence coexist in a woman, she is already worthy of our cheers for her. It is perfect to describe Guo Yue’s state at that time with high spirits.
With her outstanding performance, Guo Yue was invited by a famous financial company, and she transformed into an urban white-collar worker.
From the original table tennis player, to the students who study hard, to the urban white-collar workers with unlimited glory, behind this series of transformations, not only does strong strength, but also great courage.
Not everyone can achieve such a life achievement. Even if ordinary people achieve one of them, they are proud enough, but this is just a mere scene in Guo Yue's life.
However, this kind of success will not arouse criticism, nor will it attract malicious jealousy from others. When it comes to Guo Yue, many people probably have a capital letter, because all her achievements are made up of countless sweat and hard work.
"Tomboy" eventually became a "goddess". Guo Yue, who claimed that he was not in a hurry to get married
, successfully transformed, certainly, is enviable to everyone, but she is no longer young after all. As the saying goes, "Men are married when they are old, and women are married when they are old." Many relatives and friends around her have begun to worry about her lifelong affairs.
such worries are reasonable, but Guo Yue herself doesn't care about this. She thinks that she should develop her career first, and it doesn't matter how many years to get married in the evening.
Guo Yue is now 34 years old. She has also met an excellent boyfriend at work, but she still has no plans to get married in the short term.
Although she has transformed from her original athlete's identity, her fighting spirit has not disappeared, but she has turned the arena into a workplace.
Guo Yue really did everything he wanted to do and love everything he wanted, and he devoted himself to it. No matter where he was, she wanted to achieve excellent results.
Maybe some people will say that her personality is too strong, but everyone's life has its own colors, and Guo Yue just found her love.
Although she has been away from the arena for many years, Guo Yue still has not put down her love for the sport of table tennis. She is still active in various charity activities. She had no airs of Olympic champions in the camera, and she was in harmony with the children, played with them, and gave them signature jerseys and rackets.
In addition to promoting and promoting the sport of table tennis, Guo Yue also worked as a "psychologist" of the national table tennis team, and often gave encouragement to those players with poor performance.
At the same time, she is also the "coach" of many netizens. In the short video accounts she has opened, she often posts some videos that urge everyone to train and share their experience in playing. Now the account has hundreds of thousands of fans.
In addition to table tennis, Guo Yue also has a wide range of other sports hobbies, including track and field, swimming, and mountaineering. Hobbies like
also allow her to maintain a good body shape all the time. Even after retirement, her health level has no intention of declining. In addition, she deliberately maintains her figure, and now she looks like a fair and beautiful urban beauty.
After achieving certain glory in her career, Guo Yue's life became more and more colorful. In addition to attending various important events frequently, she also became the darling of many fashion magazines.
At the beginning of this year, she took a set of photos for a magazine company. She has a beautiful figure and fair skin that impressed many people. People were surprised by her gorgeous transformation, and even more surprised by the efforts she put in behind this transformation.
Once as a table tennis player, he retreated bravely at the peak, which must have been an extremely heavy blow to Guo Yue.
She also fell into a brief confusion and loss, but she did not calm down, but quickly cheered up and devoted her love for table tennis to other fields.
Guo Yue was unfortunate. She ruined her sports career because of injuries, but she was also lucky because she ushered in another glory in her life. Now that she can achieve such success is another state of life!
Of course, the premise of all this is that no matter what situation Guo Yue is in, he has never stopped moving forward. This kind of character is rare.
There is never a shortage of people who have transformed or changed careers in life, but there are very few people who can achieve results in two completely different industries at the same time.
Guo Yue’s story tells us that the setbacks in front of us are not terrible, what is terrible is that you don’t have the courage to start over. As long as you are down-to-earth and move firmly towards your inner goals, you will definitely return to your peak.
