The Diving Queen
Wu Minxia, who just celebrated her 37th birthday, is one of China's most successful Olympians and the first Chinese female player to win five gold Olympic medals. From the 2004 Athens Olympics to the Rio 2016, Wu has won four gold medals in women's synchronized 3m springboard and one gold medal in women's 3m springboard, achieving her “Grand Slam” in the women’s 3m springboard event.
As the queen of beauty and talent in Chinese Diving Team, Wu’s romance has always attracted public attention. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, she not only gave a perfect final performance, but also revealed her partner, who is neither a wealthy nor a young master of aristocratic family. This has disappointed some unfriendly online users and toxic fans. But Wu simply ignored the negative voices of the outside world and lived happily with her husband Zhang Xiaocheng with a son and a daughter.
A Happy Couple
“How do you maintain the romantic feeling after years of marriage?” asked some online user on their Bilibili page. “I think love exists in the most relaxed and comfortable way.” Zhang Xiaocheng replied. Wu and Zhang like to call each other “Mr. Zhang” and “Miss. Wu”. The couple’s daily conversation would give you an impression of a “talk show”.
As the kids grow up, the couple’s tacit understanding is also growing. Zhang said, “More and more, we can understand each other without words. If one of us has already made a decision, the other person will definitely support.” Their mutual trust and support run through both their marriage and career.
Mutual Support
After Wu retired, she was once kind of lost for a while. Luckily, with Zhang’s encouragement and advice, she decided to become a vlog creator. Her husband, graduated from Communication University of China, is deeply involved in the planning, shooting and editing of her videos. He is also her photographer, taking professional street photos for her.
Now, Wu’s account on video site Bilibili.com attracts millions of fans. Video is a creative work for them to share happiness, record life, and make each other a better one. Just as psychologist Erich Fromm said in The Art of Loving, “loving means not only investing in the relationship, but more importantly, developing your own personality. Love is an impulse that encourages us to create.”
Stay with your spouse and children, and grow together with your loving family. For Wu and Zhang and even most people, being able to support and encourage each other in a relationship is probably the greatest happiness in life.
