1, parents try their best to cultivate.

In addition to the two coaches, Li Na's achievements today are also inseparable from the care of her parents. Li Na's family conditions are not good. At that time, the parents' salary added up to only 100 yuan per month. Despite this, parents still try their best to create conditions for their daughters to play ball.

It is said that before Li Na moved into the dormitory, Li basically sent Li Na to Xinhua Road for practice every day, rain or shine. "Once it snowed heavily, it was inconvenient to ride a bike and the bus collapsed. The father and the daughter only walked three stops step by step before going to the stadium, and then walked home step by step after practicing. "

After her daughter moved into the dormitory, Li Yanping went straight to the stadium dormitory as soon as she got off work to help the children wash dishes and wash clothes, and didn't leave until she fell asleep at night. On weekends, a family of three will go to Hankou Youth Palace again, and rent a venue for 5 yuan 1 hour, so that the daughter who is less than 10 can compete with some amateur athletes who are 18 years old.

His father's early death inspired him to forge ahead bravely.

Just as 1 1 year-old Li Na was on the right track step by step, Li was admitted to the hospital because of congenital vascular stenosis. In order to let Li Na concentrate on practicing, Li specially wrote a letter for her to bring to Xia. "Director Xia, because I am in poor health, I have been in hospital for 2 months. Li Na is just like your big girl. I just hope to realize my unfinished wish on her. Children will please you! " A few words summed up Li Wangnv's feelings of becoming a phoenix.

Under the leadership of coach Xia, Li Na completed her primary school studies. After graduating from primary school, Li Na joined the 1996 Hubei Team and got to know another "noble person" in her career-coach Yu Liqiao. It was in this year that Li died of illness. After losing her father in childhood, Li Na seems to have matured overnight. Under the guidance of Yu Liqiao, Li Na trained harder on the court. The year after her father died, she won the national tennis final, which was her first national champion. Since then, Li Na has basically had news of victory every year to comfort her father.

1997 15-year-old Li Na went to the United States for training for seven months. After returning from the United States, Li Na began her journey of conquest. From 65438 to 0999, Li Na entered the national team. In 2000, she won the WTA (International Women's Professional Network Association) Tour women's doubles championship with Li Ting. At the 200 1 Universiade, Li Na won the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.

Just as Li Na made one success after another in tennis, for various reasons, Li Na suddenly chose to retire in 2002 without the consent of the national team and went to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to study journalism. And it is this college career that makes her relationship with Jison, the most important other half of her life, heat up rapidly.

Li Na and Jison knew each other as early as 1996. At that time, both of them were members of the Hubei Provincial Team, but Jison, as the main force of the National Youth Team at that time, was already a "star" of the first team, while Li Na was just a little-known second-line player. One Valentine's Day, she got up the courage to send Jiang Shan a box of chocolates, and they started an "underground" relationship. Before Li Na retired, Jison also retired and entered Huazhong University of Science and Technology. They changed from teammates to alumni, and their relationship became closer.

In 2004, under the persuasion of Sun Jinfang, director of the National Network Management Center, and the provincial authorities, and with the encouragement and support of Jison, Li Na, who had not trained for nearly two years, chose to come back. Since then, her status has been rising. In 2006, Li Na and Jison got married in a low-key way. Under the care of her husband and coach Jison, Li Na after marriage is even more unstoppable, and her international ranking has soared from dozens to dozens, and now she is in the top ten.
