In front of people, he is a beloved and respected "gold medal coach"; behind the scenes, he is a "hypocrite" who marries three disciples and ruins the prospects of his team members!
What kind of mentality allows him to repeatedly break such an "improper relationship"?
In this sports competition where interests are intertwined, why does he, who has gained fame and wealth, do so?
The Rise of the "Gold Medal Coach"
When it comes to Jin Wei, one cannot help but mention his "champion wife" Liu Zige.
This teacher-student love that transcends "human ethics" has been highly regarded since their marriage.
However, his path to marrying his wife to fame was not smooth sailing...
In the 1960s, Jin Wei was born into an ordinary bourgeois family in Liaoning.
Both his parents were diligent workers, and as an only child, his parents had high hopes for him.
But in that era of material scarcity, along with Jin Wei's growth was also a sense of monotony and "loneliness".
In childhood, Jin Wei was a "naughty child" in the eyes of his parents.
Because his parents were busy with work, they neglected to take care of him.
So every time he came home from class, he would run around like a wild horse with his friends in the fields and streams.
It was precisely this childhood experience that laid the foundation for his future development.
During his childhood, because he often played by the river with his friends.
Thus, he accidentally discovered his swimming talent and developed a strong interest in it.
People often say, "Interest is the best teacher."
With the blessing of "extraordinary talent," Jin Wei quickly became famous in the village.
After the reputation of the "little swimming prince" was established, Jin Wei's life opportunities followed.
In 1981, at the age of 15, he joined the Liaoning Provincial Team and began his professional swimming career.
However, at that time, he did not know how difficult his destined path would be.
He was always a "standout" among his peers, but upon arriving at the provincial team, he realized the profound meaning of the saying "there are people outside of people, and there are days outside of days."
Despite his hard training in the talent-filled provincial team, his presence remained low.
But luck comes when you can't stop it. It was such a "small transparent" who, in just two years, leaped into the national team.
However, fate gave him the opportunity but did not give him other assistance.
Determined to make a name for himself, despite having been in the national team for five years, he remained "mediocre" without any outstanding achievements.
Thus, he chose to retire and decided to seek another path.
It was precisely this decision that changed his life.
Encountering a "Young Wife" Sparks Controversy
Fame and fortune coexist, and emotions spark controversy.
With the change of direction, Jin Wei finally stood at the top of the pyramid.
However, the more famous one becomes, the more trouble follows. The decisions after fame have aroused controversy and resistance from all sectors of society.
After leaving the national team, Jin Wei once fell into confusion, unsure of where to go.
Having been exposed to swimming since childhood, he now realizes that without the pool, he is "useless."
But there is always a way out. His guiding light soon appeared by his side.
In 1991, on the advice of a friend, Jin Wei decided to go to Australia's MBL Club to coach.
As a professional place to cultivate swimmers, countless talents set off from here to create their own legendary careers.
It was also here that Jin Wei found his goal.
At that time, the training level abroad was completely different from that in China.
During his four years there, he thoroughly studied the advanced training methods and methods abroad.
In 1995, upon returning home, he invested in founding his own Haijian Swimming Club in Shenyang and later served as the club's head coach.
He eagerly put the foreign training concepts and methods into practice.
Soon, the abilities of the students were greatly improved.
He was very satisfied and proud of this result, and became even more convinced of his educational approach.
And at this moment, the wheel of fate began to turn, and the appearance of a "genius girl" completely pushed him to the peak.
In 1998, 9-year-old Liu Zige, under the guidance of her mentor, came to the Shenyang Haijian Swimming Club.
Initially, in this talent-filled club, Liu Zige's presence was not particularly outstanding.
But gold will always shine, and soon, after rounds of practical assessment, Liu Zige stood out, and Jin Wei also discovered this gifted girl.
Thus, Liu Zige became Jin Wei's last great disciple, and under Jin Wei's "devilish" training, Liu Zige's performance grew rapidly.
In 2004, Liu Zige won the gold medal in the women's 200m medley at the World Cup short course swimming championships in her first competition.
She made a name for herself in the swimming world, and the following year, she followed Jin Wei to Shanghai and joined the Shanghai swimming team.
Day after day, the two became increasingly close, and gradually, this relationship went beyond its original trajectory.
But their relationship was destined to "sink" amidst controversy...
Falling from the "Altar" and Destroying One's Future
The rise and fall of fate have their own timing, and in the end, it all depends on conscience.
The rise of fame also brought his love to his side.
But these marriages were doomed to a tragic ending from the start.
It is said that "rabbits don't eat grass near their nests," but Jin Wei disregarded "human ethics."
Not only did he marry three disciples, but he also ruined his own good hand.
Under Jin Wei's guidance, Liu Zige's swimming career became increasingly "terrifying."
Her continuous outstanding performances allowed her to win the top spot in the selection for the 2008 Olympic qualification, earning her the opportunity to compete in the Olympics.
In 2008, Liu Zige, like a dark horse, competed in the Olympics, broke the world record, and won the Olympic gold medal.
This battle not only completely established Liu Zige's title as the "Butterfly Queen";
It also solidified Jin Wei's title as the "Gold Medal Coach."
Later, Liu Zige used the prize money from the competition to buy Jin Wei a Land Rover worth 1.7 million yuan.
To everyone, this was a disciple expressing gratitude for years of cultivation to her coach.
Little did they know that perhaps from this point on, the two's relationship had unknowingly changed.
In 2016, the news that Olympic champion Liu Zige married her coach Jin Wei spread across the internet overnight.
However, the exposure of this marriage was met with countless "resistance" and criticism.
Regardless of the age difference between the two, Jin Wei's past marriages were even more shocking.
Before marrying Liu Zige, Jin Wei had already been through two marriages, both with his own disciples.
Even so, Liu Zige ultimately chose to go her own way and marry the coach who had accompanied her since childhood.
Despite the absence of her parents, this marriage that disregarded human ethics still took place as scheduled.
After marriage, with the increase in age and the decline in physical fitness, Liu Zige chose to retire and became a full-time housewife.
While Jin Wei started a new round of "champion" training.
But this time, eager for quick success, he completely ruined his future.
In 2016, Jin Wei stood on the Rio Olympic stage with the national team representative Chen Xinyi.
However, no one could have expected that to ensure the "perfect" outcome of the competition, Jin Wei actually let Chen Xinyi take "doping."
But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Chen Xinyi's medication was detected during the drug test.
Immediately, Chen Xinyi was penalized with a two-year suspension, and Jin Wei was also banned and made a lifetime ban from entering any national team, and local sports bureaus were not allowed to hire him.
From then on, Jin Wei completely disappeared from the swimming world, and the two years lost by Chen Xinyi were destined to break her swimming career.
Conclusion:
From an unknown boy to a "Gold Medal Coach," Jin Wei's life is full of legends and variables.
If that year, he had not done immoral deeds for his own fame and wealth, perhaps there would be no shortage of swimming champions under his tutelage today.
But one mistake leads to another, and there is no turning back once the arrow is released.
Now, he has moved to Australia with his wife and children, living a simple life.
Such an ending, though sigh-inducing, is perhaps the best result.
