Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu were destined to meet. The first time they met in Zhenjiang that year, Lin Gaoyuan noticed her right away.
They were four years apart, one full Olympic cycle. He wanted to walk alongside her down that thorn-strewn road, but by the time he won the mixed doubles gold at the World Championships, he had already used up every last bit of strength.
Lin Gaoyuan said, “My dream was never to compete in the Olympics. I wanted to become a world champion in an individual event.”
Wang Manyu said, “My dream is to stay with Lin Gaoyuan forever and enjoy table tennis, not chase that so-called Grand Slam.”
Yet Wang Manyu kept holding on to the hope of taking Lin Gaoyuan to the Olympics, while Lin Gaoyuan chose to step aside and let her achieve her Grand Slam.
The time they missed was filled with endless bitterness and tears.
Everyone says, “Only a long journey can reveal a horse's strength, and only time can reveal a person's heart.”
But this road was frozen solid. It stretched so far that even the horses perished along the way. Though the sun would eventually rise, I never made it out of that frozen wasteland.
Thankfully, we still have most of our lives ahead of us, and the rest of them will be filled with happiness.
No matter who takes the lead in the martial arts world, I will only bow down for you.
The author's writing is really beautiful. Although I was tortured and cried at the beginning, the more tortured at the beginning, the sweeter it seems at the end.
The author is great, the writing is very good, very beautiful 👍👍👍
The more I read, the more addictive I become. It's really well written.
