The Korean gymnastics goddess fell in love with the China World Champion despite her family's opposition. Who is she?

The Korean gymnastics goddess married the China world champion despite her parents' objections. Korean netizens said she was a traitor. Every paragraph of the transnational love story in sports is difficult and bumpy. Often an athlete represents the honor of the country and carries the mission of the country. The task on their shoulders is heavy. Because every athlete has received closed high-intensity training since childhood, he missed the age when he should be in love. Therefore, every sports love story is hard-won, especially transnational sports love.

A few years ago, Sun Yan, a famous Korean rhythmic gymnast, made love to Ning Zetao, but obviously Ning Zetao didn't choose to be with her. So do many athletes in China: Zhu Chen, the women's chess champion, and Shan Zhang, the Olympic champion of UFO shooting, all married foreigners, and their married lives are very happy. Of course, there are also many foreign female athletes who want to get married in China. Today, I will introduce the gymnastics couple Huang Liping and Xu.

The Korean gymnastics goddess fell in love with the China World Champion and married into China alone despite her family's opposition. Now she lives happily. Xu was the best gymnast in South Korea in 1990s, and won four gold medals. With her beautiful appearance and outstanding achievements, Xu became one of the most popular athletes in Korea at that time, and was an out-and-out gymnastics goddess. Huang Liping, who married China despite her family's opposition, is also a famous gymnast in China.

Huang Liping may not be familiar to many people. In the 1990s, a famous gymnast was selected for the national team at the age of 13. 1993 national games, Huang Liping won three gold medals, and then won the East Asian Games team championship in the national team. He also performed very well in the World Championships and the Olympic Games, because he won the world parallel bars championship for his outstanding professional performance.

Huang Liping's career was anything but extraordinary. As an all-around gymnast, she once became the main force of Hubei men's gymnastics team, won the silver medal in men's gymnastics on behalf of China team 1996, and retired as a gymnastics referee. As early as 1993 Birmingham World Cup, Huang Liping knew the Korean player Xu, and Huang Liping fell in love with Xu at first sight.

Four years later, at the Asian Games, Huang Liping boldly expressed his promise, but Xu accepted it frankly. However, Xu's parents resolutely opposed their love relationship and were even more angry with their later marriage. However, in the end, despite the opposition of her family, Xu decided to get married in China, and then they had their children. Now they are very happy. Since then, Huang Liping and the Korean gymnastics goddess have become enviable love stories.

Xu has won many honors for South Korea in various sports meetings, but this kind of transnational marriage is still not recognized in South Korea. There is a big gap between the two, which makes the people very dissatisfied and they are also under great pressure. Korean netizens all say that Xu is a traitor, and even Xu's parents don't admit their love, which makes Xu feel inexplicably helpless.

After unremitting efforts, they struggled together and persisted together, and finally got the support of their parents. They got married in South Korea in May 2002, and more than 20 people from China Gymnastics, including Li Ning, went to Seoul, South Korea to congratulate them. It can be said that the combination of the two created a precedent in the history of gymnastics between China and South Korea and promoted the exchange and development of sports between the two countries.

Their love is really not easy. After years of hard work, Huang Liping got Xu's consent, and Xu ignored his parents' opposition to marrying away for this love. Now Huang Liping is 48 years old and Xu is 43 years old. They have been married for 18 years, and have their own happy families and children, which is also a much-told story in the sports history of China.
