Zou Shiming: He was bullied by girls and learned martial arts. He defended the Olympic champion twice and broke up 23 times a year.

Norman mailer, a famous American writer, once wrote: "When a boxer got a heavy punch but didn't fall down, sweat and blood fell from the sky like a waterfall, I was completely conquered by this brave sport, and I witnessed the most magnificent scene."

The charm of boxing can conquer many people in many European and American countries, but it is not an easily accepted sport in China, because boxing has been banned in China for 28 years because of its cruelty.

It was not until Comrade Deng Xiaoping met the world boxing champion Ali for the third time that the ban was lifted. However, for many years, boxing was still a relatively unpopular sport in China. It was not until Zou Shiming, the champion who won the Olympic champion twice and won the gold belt, came into public view that the boxing market in China gradually warmed up.

Zou Shiming undoubtedly ushered in an era. Now, at the age of 40, he has retired from boxing and left more time for himself. Many people don't understand why he didn't choose to continue his glory to the end, but if we count the roads he has traveled in his half life, maybe we can understand his choice.

Zou Shiming was born in an intellectual family in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. His father is an aerospace technician and his mother is a teacher. When I was a child, Zou Shiming was thin, wooden and cowardly. Some girls even bullied him at school and scratched his forehead.

Zou Shiming, in particular, did not want to be bullied by girls, and her academic performance was not particularly outstanding. At the age of 14, she chose to embark on the road of martial arts, so she was admitted to the local sports school.

After Zou Shiming entered Guizhou Sports School, he felt that he understood any movement faster than others and learned like a duck to water. /kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, Zou Shiming came into contact with boxing, and in an instant he became fascinated with the sport, and his boxing career began.

After many years, Zou Shiming is still grateful for the encounter with boxing. After learning boxing, Zou Shiming has more confidence and strength. He is no longer the child bullied by Nuo Nuo. Although he is small and thin, he is flexible and witty, and he has the talent to learn boxing. He is the best among boxers.

From 65438 to 0997, Zou Shiming was selected into the boxing team of Guizhou Province. Two years later, under the guidance of coach Zhang Chuanliang, he was selected into the national team for his outstanding performance. He started as a sparring partner in the national team, but he has his own ambitions and has been training hard and constantly pondering the characteristics of each boxer.

In 2000, in the preliminary round of the national boxing championship, Zou Shiming defeated the players expected by the public, got rid of the fate of sparring and became a boxing dark horse.

In 2003, Zou Shiming defeated Ba Telie of Cuba in the World Boxing Championship and won the runner-up in the men's 48kg class, which filled the gap in China's boxing in major international competitions. He is also the only Asian to win this honor. Since then, Zou Shiming has a mission, that is, to win medals in the Olympic Games and win glory for the country.

In 2004, Zou Shiming won a bronze medal in Athens Olympic Games, which was a great achievement of China in boxing.

At this Olympic Games, don king, the most famous promoter of American boxing, saw Zou Shiming's talent and took out millions of dollars to take him into professional boxing. This is Zou Shiming's dream, but he knows that his mission in the Olympic Games has not been completed. For himself and his country, he can't leave so smartly.

Zou Shiming devoted all his efforts to the Beijing Olympic Games four years later. Apart from taking part in some competitions, he completely closed himself up and trained all the time. He changed his mobile phone number to the tail number of 2008, and every day before going to bed, he had to take a look at the gold medal photos in his mobile phone.

Four years later, at the Olympic Games, Zou Shiming won the gold medal, which was China's first boxing gold medal at the Olympic Games. On the podium, Zou Shiming burst into tears.

20 12 London Olympic Games, Zou Shiming defeated Thailand's famous Peng Bryan in the 49kg final, and won an Olympic gold medal again, successfully defending his title.

At this time, Zou Shiming is also the vice captain of Guizhou sports team. He knows that as an Olympic champion, not surprisingly, he will become one of the leaders of a local sports department in a few years. He is decent and comfortable, but looking at the gold medal hanging on his chest and everyone's face at the celebration party, he suddenly feels that this is not the life he wants.

Shortly after defending the Olympic champion, Zou Shiming chose to enter professional boxing. At this time, he is not young, setting a record for the oldest Olympic boxer to change careers, but he has a firm belief and many people value him.

After becoming a professional boxer, Zou Shiming got off to a good start by defeating Mexican Vallezula in the first battle. February 20 13, Zou Shiming and his wife went to the United States from Beijing to fight for the dream of a golden belt.

The promotion company signed by Zou Shiming took him to visit the famous boxing coach Freddie Roach. Roach has trained 27 world champions, including Pacquiao, the world champion who came out of the slum and took an eight-level gold belt.

Roach thinks highly of Zou Shiming and is willing to accept him as an apprentice. He even said: "Zou Shiming was better than Pacquiao at the beginning of his career, and I think Zou Shiming will be the next Pacquiao." This sentence was madly reprinted by the domestic media. People expect Olympic champion Zou Shiming to create a legendary era, but many people don't know that the road to transformation in Zou Shiming is much more difficult than it looks.

Boxing is different from other events Olympic boxing is very different from professional boxing. Boxing in the Olympic Games is much safer. Players have complete protection, even if they point to it, they will score points. No matter what strength, boxers who take part in the Olympic Games need to train their skills.

Professional boxing, which has always been the real strength of boxers, can play twelve rounds at most, which is incomparable to Olympic boxing, both ornamental and offensive.

After more than ten years of training, Zou Shiming's boxing habits are all tailored for the Olympic Games, but this habit is not suitable for professional boxing. If Zou Shiming wants to make a name for himself, he must abandon all habits.

During the training, Zou Shiming felt great frustration, which was unprecedented in his boxing career. Roach was very optimistic about Zou Shiming at first, thinking that he had made great progress in training, but as soon as the game came, the apprentice's original habits came back.

Roach gradually felt that Zou Shiming was a big challenge for him. Although many amateur boxers have been trained before, no one has participated in three consecutive Olympic Games and defended his title twice like Zou Shiming.

Roach's relationship with Zou Shiming is at freezing point. Roach even said something like "Go home" to Zou Shiming, which made Zou Shiming feel depressed.

Few people know how difficult Zou Shiming's training was during his stay in the United States. During the training, he even changed his eating habits. In the past, in order to maintain a weight of 48kg, Zou Shiming could only eat half a full meal. After becoming a professional boxer, he must gain weight and get a gold belt to have a better chance of winning.

He was asked to supplement nutrition and increase muscles, but his appetite could not be opened and he could not swallow protein powder, so it was difficult to gain weight. In addition, in order to change the action, Zou Shiming also put a bouncy ball in the room, and he would get up and train at the thought of the action in the middle of the night.

Great training intensity, coupled with the efforts of the promotion company, enabled Zou Shiming to reach the position of the Golden Belt Challenge after full training, but the road to the Golden Belt was by no means smooth.

On March 7th, 20 15, Zou Shiming competed with Thailand's Artest Lunlong for the heavyweight championship gold belt in Macau. This was Zou Shiming's first challenge and ended in failure. He didn't start his era.

After settling down for eight months, Zou Shiming fought fiercely with South American champion Natan Santana for ten rounds in Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, and finally regained the Tejin Belt.

June 20 16, Zou Shiming appeared in Madison Square Garden in new york. At the age of 35, he defeated the Hungarian opponent of 19, and finally won the WBO international lightweight champion gold belt. 2016110/October, Zou Shiming defeated Thai boxer Kun Biqi and became the gold belt winner of WBO lightweight world champion, finally realizing his dream. He walked on this road for 2 1 year.

The name of boxing champion Zou Shiming is associated with his wife Ran Yingying. In 20 19, Ran Yingying gave birth to her third child, who took her mother's surname. Zou Shiming and Ran Yingying have been together for thirteen years, and they crushed all the gossip with their happy appearance.

Zou Shiming and Ran Yingying met in their hometown of Zunyi in 2006. At that time, Zou Shiming was already a famous boxer, while Ran Yingying was just a fledgling college student. But as soon as we met, we felt unspeakable intimacy. Ran Yingying was shocked when she learned that Zou Shiming was a boxer, because he was not as tall as her ... It took them only five days to get to know each other and fall in love.

However, before the end of the love period, Zou Shiming will go to Cuba for training, which makes Ran Yingying feel a little caught off guard. However, Zou Shiming, who came back, found that he didn't have much time and energy to spend with his girlfriend, which was not good for both of them.

He thinks that Ran Yingying is smart and beautiful, and he is sure to find something better. Then, after arriving in Cuba, Zou Shiming broke up with Ran Yingying.

To Zou Shiming's surprise, Ran Yingying resolutely refused to break up. She seems to have recognized him. It never occurred to her that Zou Shiming would break up 23 times in one year. Every time we break up, we are naturally rejected by Ran Yingying, because Ran Yingying loves this person very much and is willing to give everything for him.

Ran Yingying and Zou Shiming have always been long-distance lovers, but she is willing to sacrifice herself and support Zou Shiming unconditionally. She described the hardships of long-distance love like this: "I studied in Beijing and he trained in the national team;" Before graduation, I was looking for a house in the rain, and he kept beating around the bush. I crowded the bus to watch the sunset, and his feet wore out several stars ... "

In the year of preparing for the Olympic Games, Zou Shiming conducted closed training for half a year. He told Ran Yingying not to call, text or visit him for six months, because he really wanted to close the door. Ran Yingying really doesn't call or send text messages, while busy with her work, while silently waiting for her lover to return.

Zou Shiming got the Olympic gold medal as he wished. After the competition, he designed a marriage proposal ceremony to propose to his girlfriend who had been in business for several years. At the time of receiving that promise, Ran Yingying felt that so many years of touching had accumulated to this day.

When Zou Shiming chose to play professional boxing, Ran Yingying gave up his job and accompanied him to the United States to pursue his dreams. Ran Yingying acted as Zou Shiming's translator, driver, agent, driver and nanny, and took care of him wholeheartedly. After busy work, I helped him rent a venue and promote it, just to let him concentrate on boxing and get closer to his dream. Ran Yingying was happier than Zou Shiming when he took the gold belt.

Since Zou Shiming has been away from home, Ran Yingying has to take care of the housework and children alone, so he gradually developed the skill of cooking with one hand holding the baby. She took all the hardships and pressures by herself and never complained to her husband. She once said, "From the day I was with him, I never thought about looking back. I will support him as long as he is willing. "

Zou Shiming never took what his wife had done for him for granted, and he always felt deeply guilty. He gave her the initiative in the family, claiming that his family status was the lowest and all the money he earned was kept by his wife.

When the outside world attacked her and said that she had plastic surgery and that she was "brainless", he was more angry than anyone else and naturally stood up for her. In the interview, he said: "When I first took the gold belt, I always thought that she was a' woman of the queen'. Later, I discovered that I was a' woman of the queen'. "

Zou Shiming's game, Ran Yingying almost always absent, gave him confidence and motivation. She hoped that he would turn around after each round and find that she was sitting under the stage cheering for him.

Zou Shiming is also used to searching for her figure under the stage during a short break. They will look at each other tacitly, which is the best tonic for him. Many times in public, the inarticulate Zou Shiming said gracefully that his wife is his best spiritual pillar.

2065438+On July 28th, 2007, Zou Shiming began to defend the WBO lightweight world gold belt against Japanese boxer Sho Kimura. He was finally knocked down by his opponent and failed to defend his title. After the game, Zou Shiming announced his retirement on the spot, which caused an uproar on the field.

If Zou Shiming chose to quit boxing when he won the gold belt on 20 16, his story might be different, but he chose to end his boxing career with failure. Although the game didn't have a happy result, it didn't turn back.

When he retired, Zou Shiming was 36 years old, which was no longer the golden age for athletes. In the match against teenager Sho Kimura, Zou Shiming was in an advantage at first, but by the eleventh round, Zou Shiming began to lose strength and kept a defensive posture, while the opponent was pressing hard and finally defeated KO of Zou Shiming.

Zou Shiming's physical reserve is not as good as before, and his age and pain are the hurdles he can't cross. For a boxer, it is a miracle that he can still get the gold belt after 30 years.

Zou Shiming's physical condition is also not optimistic. Before the last game, Zou Shiming felt that his eyes were wrong, and his eyes would turn black when he walked. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor came to the conclusion that Zou Shiming's left eye vision is only 0. 1, which has reached the disabled standard. He suggested stopping all boxing matches, otherwise there might be more serious consequences.

Zou Shiming's eye injury dates back to 20 14, when he played against Thai boxer Kun Biqi in his sixth professional match in Las Vegas. Kun Biqi's hand has been steady, accurate and hard, and she punched Zou Shiming in the face. Fortunately, Zou Shiming was not to be outdone, and a five-combo knocked Kun Biqi to the ground.

Zou Shiming's physical strength gradually faded in the following rounds, and his opponent suddenly hit his brow bone, making his eyes bleed. In spite of this, Zou Shiming insisted on fighting hard with the other side, gritting his teeth until the end of the game, and finally won the game.

The game was so hard that Zou Shiming almost lost an eye. If Zou Shiming doesn't quit in time, but continues to play, there may be more serious consequences.

In addition to her eyesight, the doctor told Zou Shiming that she might suffer from Parkinson's disease in the future due to a long-term blow to her head. This is not an alarmist. Boxing is a high-risk occupation. Zou Shiming's idol Ali and coach Roach both suffer from Parkinson's disease. These precedents are sounding the alarm for Zou Shiming.

He likes boxing. If it weren't for his love, he wouldn't have gone so far, but the older he gets, the more he should consider his health.

Age and injury are the obstacles that Zou Shiming can't get through, and family is his biggest stumbling block. When parents are old, there will always be a day when they need his whole-hearted care.

Although his wife, Ran Yingying, chose to fully support him, she never felt any sense of security. When she gave birth to her second son, she left umbilical cord blood, saying that in case Zou Shiming had Parkinson's disease in the future, Zou Shiming was already deeply helpless.

For Zou Shiming, the biggest gain is not fame and fortune, but the eight-month intimate time spent with children. During that time, he had no competition, followed the program group around, completed various tasks, and did many things that he had never done before.

Before that, his son didn't know him very well. Because he is often busy with work, he seldom stays at home with his children. Jessica Hester Hsuan's impression of him is basically to see him standing on the podium with a black face. After getting along with his son, he obviously felt that the relationship between father and son was much closer.

At that time, Jessica Hester Hsuan had a younger brother, and Zou Shiming was the pillar of the whole family, which meant that he should always think about his family and not let himself fall. Therefore, resigning may be the wisest choice.

Before Zou Shiming decided to challenge the gold belt, he said, "There were no China people in this boxing ring before, so I took a gold belt on behalf of China, with yellow skin and black eyes, which made the whole world look at China with new eyes."

He really did it and completed the mission he gave himself. Zou Shiming began to set foot in boxing as a teenager, but in China, few boxers can reach the peak of their career like him, and even fewer insist on boxing. Many other disciples in Zou Shiming gave up boxing because of life.

Zou Shiming's becoming a professional boxer really showed many people a way. Obviously, the domestic boxing market is much better. It can be said that Zou Shiming has influenced many people.

Zou Shiming felt that he had completed part of his mission. Quitting boxing doesn't mean he's no longer in contact with boxing. He just used the energy of the competition to promote boxing culture, opened a boxing gym and continued this road in another way.

This year, there was good news from Zou Shiming: his eldest son, Zou Xuan Ming, achieved good results in polo, joined the national team for more systematic training, and will win glory for his country in the international arena in the future.

Although it is not the son who inherits his father's career, it is also full of glory. Zou Shiming is a hero, and we believe that he has always cherished ardent dreams. His time has never ended.
