Lin Dan, the best badminton brother in China, is the first Grand Slam winner in the history of badminton.
He has been practicing badminton since he was 5 years old, won his first national championship at the age of 12, and entered the national team at the age of 17. He has been flying all the way and has become a famous figure in the badminton world.
On July 4, 2020, Lin Dan officially announced his retirement, ending his playing career.
Lee Chong Wei, who is both an enemy and a friend, shouted from the air, "Three of them have been missing and one has been missing for a long time." All major media are also reviewing the highlight moments of "Super Pill".
But at this moment, Lin Dan’s past “cheating incident” was mentioned again.
This time, the heroine of the cheating incident personally ended up tearing Lin Dan apart: "It has been three years since I, a woman, took the blame, and I admit it!"
Since the cheating incident happened Since then, most of Lin Dan's reputation has been destroyed. Although Xie Xingfang issued a message to forgive him, the Internet has a memory, and it is difficult to erase this incident.
As soon as Lin Dan retired, the cheating heroine started to fight. How could Xie Xingfang be embarrassed?
01
Xie Xingfang was born in Guangzhou in 1981, the only daughter in her family.
The Xie family's family conditions are not good. The family of three is crowded into a 20-square-meter house and struggling to survive.
Two years later, Lin Dan was born in Longyan, Fujian. Compared with the Xie family, Lin Dan’s family’s conditions were very good.
When Lin Dan was three years old, his parents bought him an electronic keyboard and enrolled him in specialty classes. They were not lenient at all in spending money.
Coincidentally, in 1983, a girl named Zhao Yaqi was born in Liaoning.
Although the Zhao family is not wealthy, they attach great importance to the education of their children. They enrolled Zhao Yaqi in music, dance and other interest classes since she was a child, vowing to train her daughter to become a top talent.
In 1986, 6-year-old Xie Xingfang entered first grade. She was very tall compared to other children of the same age.
It was precisely because of her conspicuous height that she was spotted by badminton teacher Chen Guoliang and entered the Guangzhou Badminton Sports School and began arduous training.
Xie Xingfang is studying and training at the same time. She has to squeeze in the bus for more than an hour every afternoon to go to the gym for training.
Because of the intense training, Xie Xingfang was exhausted every day and fell asleep as soon as she got on the bus home.
While Xie Xingfang was training hard, Lin Dan was sent to learn electronic keyboard by his parents.
Lin Dan’s parents were originally sports enthusiasts and began to take Lin Dan to play basketball, badminton, etc.
After a period of observation, his parents enrolled him in a badminton interest class. However, Lin Dan was still too young at this time and did not show any talent in badminton.
After entering the badminton hobby class, he had poor patience. When he did not train well, he would get angry and throw his racket.
This habit also made him criticized in his later career.
02
Although Lin Dan has all kinds of bad habits, he is very competitive. When he sees other children playing well, he is particularly anxious, so he forces himself to practice, vowing to To get first place.
What’s even more amazing is that he is the only left-handed student in the class, and his physical fitness is so good that most children can’t beat him.
In 1992, Xie Xingfang passed the training camp and her level was quite good, so she began to play competitions in the province.
And Lin Dan has become a leader among children of the same age.
After a technical evaluation, Lin Dan was excellent in footwork, basic skills, etc., so he was recruited to the Fujian Provincial Sports School and began to receive professional training.
At this time, Lin Dan was just 9 years old and the youngest among his teammates. He cried every night and cried for more than half a semester before he adapted to the training life.
Zhao Yaqi, who is the same age as Lin Dan, went to school and interest classes happily every day under the care of her parents, and enjoyed a happy childhood.
In 1994, after eight years of experience, Xie Xingfang won three championships in women's singles, women's doubles and team at the Guangdong Provincial Games.
Subsequently, she was selected into the Guangzhou badminton team and moved towards a more ambitious goal.
A year later, 12-year-old Lin Dan also won the singles championship in the National Youth Badminton Championships. He was specially recruited into the Bayi Engineering Brigade and became a soldier.
After entering the army, Lin Dan's temper has not changed. He likes to throw his racket when he doesn't play well, but the army is not a place where one can be willful.
Once, he dropped his racket during training and was suspended from training for two weeks. Only then did he start to be afraid and suppress his bad habits.
In the army, Lin Dan lived and ate together with his teammates, received rigorous training together, and developed a domineering personality.
Many years later, Lin Dan used this unyielding domineering attitude in playing basketball and earned the title "Super Dan".
At this time, Xie Xingfang and Lin Dan were both on the way forward. They did not know that they would intersect with each other.

In 1998, the National Youth Championship was held. Xie Xingfang was 17 years old and Lin Dan was 15 years old. They met on a narrow road.
At this time, Xie Xingfang has been selected for the national team and has also won championships in international competitions. She is a rising star in the badminton world.
Lin Dan was pulled by his teammates and ran around the field. When he saw Xie Xingfang, he said excitedly: "Look, look, that's Xie Xingfang, who just won the championship!"
Lin Dan Looking back, he exclaimed: "Oh, you have long legs!"
In addition to finding Xie Xingfang beautiful, Lin Dan was also very envious of the honors she had received, and secretly made up his mind, "I must be with Xie Xingfang in the future." She's on par"!
After that, Lin Dan began to train hard, and finally successfully entered the national badminton team in 2000, and the two finally met.
Not long after they met, Lin Dan began to actively pursue Xie Xingfang. At the same time, he also realized that if he wanted to conquer such a woman, he must be stronger than her!
Xie Xingfang, who has been in the team for two years, is already outstanding. In the Hong Kong Badminton Open, she defeated Ling Wanting of Hong Kong, China with a score of 2-0 and won her first open championship in her life.
The strength gap between Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang is very big at this time. If Lin Dan wants to be on par with Xie Xingfang, he can only improve his ability!
With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lin Dan actively trained and worked hard to find experts to learn from, and his professional level also improved day by day.
In 2001, Xie Xingfang won the women's singles championship at the Asian Badminton Championships, but Lin Dan still had no outstanding results.
Until March 2002, Lin Dan entered the competition like a dark horse and won multiple championships. On August 22, he ascended to the number one position in the International Badminton Federation rankings and maintained it for a week. .
In 2003, Lin Dan finally stood out in the national team, and therefore had more contact with Xie Xingfang.
04
In 2004, Lin Dan participated in many world competitions and won multiple championships, and his career path became increasingly smooth.
Human nature is always like this. The more things go smoothly, the easier it is to relax.
In the Athens Olympics in August 2004, the women's badminton team had many strong players. Xie Xingfang was not even able to qualify for the competition, and she felt very sad.
Lin Dan, with full confidence, participated as the world's number one, but lost to Singaporean player Lin Yufeng in the first round.
Both of them were depressed, so they often communicated with each other and interacted more.
During the Spring Festival of 2004, Lin Dan mustered up the courage to confess his love to Xie Xingfang. Unexpectedly, Xie Xingfang teased him and said: You are really ink.
With one sentence, the two confirmed their relationship.
In the same year, after Lin Dan won the All England Championship, he announced his relationship in a high-profile manner.
After their relationship was announced, they were called the "golden girl in the badminton world" and the two began a six-year relationship.
In 2005, when Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang were in love, 22-year-old Zhao Yaqi participated in the Miss Universe beauty pageant with her talents.
After the beauty pageant, she began to enter the modeling world with her super good looks and devilish figure, and became the darling of fashion magazines.
In addition to being a model, in order to increase her popularity, Zhao Yaqi also took a large number of sexy and explicit photos, which are very eye-catching.
05
In 2007, Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang's relationship became more stable, and they even showed off their affection at the All England Open.
When Xie Xingfang won the championship, she held a large bouquet of roses and presented it to her girlfriend in front of the audience, and kissed Xie Xingfang.
The next day, the front pages of all major sports were full of scenes of the two showing off their affection.
In 2008, Lin Dan achieved great results and became the first person in the history of badminton to win gold medals in the All England, World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games.
Xie Xingfang was not to be outdone, and won awards such as the world's number one women's singles ranking, the World Championship champion, the World Cup champion, and the defending World Championship champion, but unfortunately she failed to win the Olympic championship.
In 2009, Xie Xingfang announced her retirement with this regret and began to support Lin Dan behind his back.
This year, the sexy model named Zhao Yaqi showed no sign of weakness and hooked up with Li Zekai, the son of Li Ka-shing.
Looking carefully at Zhao Yaqi's figure and appearance, she is actually quite similar to Liang Luoshi. She is tall, convex and very attractive.
That year, scandals about Li Zekai and Zhao Yaqi were flying everywhere. Although Li Zekai did not respond, Li Ka-shing jumped out and said, "The two knew each other, but they did not have a close relationship."
In one sentence, The road to a rich family was cut off.
In 2010, Lin Dan won four consecutive Thomas Cup championships. He also won the Asian Games and Asian Championships, becoming the first Grand Slam player in the history of badminton, "Super Dan" The name was also officially born.
This year, he and Xie Xingfang also ended their long-term relationship and entered marriage. The two held their wedding at the 2008 Olympic badminton competition venue.
Since then, Xie Xingfang has returned to her family and has been supporting Lin Dan as he fights on the court.
When Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang got married, it was reported that Zhao Yaqi was in love with Huang Bo's good friend Gao Hu, and the two were even photographed together intimately.
Zhao Yaqi and Gao Hu have been dating for five years, and there were even rumors that something good was about to happen. Unexpectedly, Gao Hu was caught taking drugs, and his future was ruined.
After Gao Hu came out, their relationship slowly came to an end.

On the court, Lin Dan has always been dominating, and many famous players in the badminton world have been defeated by him.
After Xie Xingfang returned to her family, she began to learn business and gave birth to a lovely son for Lin Dan in November 2016.
Originally, this is a happy family, but clinker, once a man becomes famous and rich, he is easily tempted.
In 2016, Xie Xingfang gave birth to a child and had no time to take care of her husband's private life; and Zhao Yaqi happened to break up with Gao Hu, so the two got together.
It didn’t matter that the two secretly went to the hotel to get a room, and they didn’t draw the curtains while they were making out. This is not to blame for the reporter’s long lens.
At this time, Xie Xingfang was still in confinement, but Lin Dan went out to fool around.
Such a man is simply unacceptable to the majority of badminton fans. Lin Dan’s years of reputation were instantly wiped out by public opinion.
After the intimate photos were exposed, there was a lot of curses. The former "Super Dan" also fell from the altar overnight and became a scumbag that people despised.
Just when everyone was sympathizing with Xie Xingfang and trying to help her, she suddenly posted a message saying: Forgive Lin Dan and hope to walk with him through thick and thin.
For a time, netizens’ quarrels with each other seemed like a joke.
Since the parties involved have forgiven, it’s hard for others to say anything, so everyone can just sit back and watch the show.
07
After the affair, Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang joined forces to restore their reputation, but in the end it was still too late.
After that, Lin Dan was no longer the athlete who received merciless endorsements and was praised by all the front pages, but became a stained person who no longer deserves praise.
Many people criticized Xie Xingfang and said: "How can such a man be forgiven?"
But Xie Xingfang suffered a lot, because her husband went out to fool around during her confinement period. But after the children have been born, and they have been with each other for more than ten years, how can it be so easy to let go?
Because of her children, because of her twelve-year relationship, and because of the experience of fighting together, she chose to forgive. She gave Lin Dan a chance and also gave herself a chance.
In recent years, Xie Xingfang has begun to return to business, and has also begun to pay attention to dressing up and self-improvement. She has gradually become generous and intellectual. I wonder if it is because of the influence of this incident?
For many years, the marriage relationship between Lin Dan and Xie Xingfang has been attracting much attention. Many people thought that "their couple has existed in name only."
But in fact, there is a lot of cooperation in private.
The two established a badminton education and training base, and participated in various large-scale activities as a pair, and their interests were increasingly tied up.
Now it seems that the two are more like partners and people with the same interests, rather than an ordinary couple.
But marriage has always been like "a person knows whether he is warm or cold after drinking water." Outsiders can only guess about their relationship and cannot be sure.
Fortunately, Lin Dan is somewhat self-aware. When he retired, he said he felt sorry for his wife and hoped to return to his family to make up for his wife and son.
I hope he can keep his word and never let down a woman's trust and tolerance again.
Marriage is a spiritual journey. I hope they can practice it and cherish it.
