Chinese Men's Basketball Player: After Divorce with Ex-Wife Over Property, He Marries a PhD Wife Half a Year Later
When it comes to Chinese men's basketball players, they have always been heroes in the hearts of fans. However, the lives of these heroes are not just about basketball; their emotional world is also closely watched.
Li Gen's story is like a dramatic rollercoaster, starting with a grand and luxurious wedding that ends up in a shocking divorce battle.
Just half a year after the divorce, he remarried, marrying a young and beautiful PhD wife, akin to a sensational marriage drama! Li Gen, the basketball powerhouse from Jiaozuo, Henan, is a prominent figure in China's basketball scene.
He is known as "Jiaozuo LeBron" for his height, long arms, and comprehensive skills, making him a powerful scoring machine on the court.
With his explosive power and exquisite ball skills, he has risen from local teams to the CBA, helping his team win multiple championships and becoming a top domestic basketball star with a multimillion-yuan annual salary. He has also represented the national team many times, bringing glory to the country.
His career should have been a pure and passionate struggle history, but due to two completely different marriages, he has been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. Once, the combination of Li Gen and his ex-wife Wang Xingyang was considered a golden couple, envied by others.
In 2015, at the peak of his career, Li Gen met Wang Xingyang by chance through a friend's introduction. At that time, Wang Xingyang was tall, beautiful, and outstanding in temperament, a typical Beijing girl.
They fell in love at first sight and quickly fell deeply in love. In their relationship, they were inseparable, and Wang Xingyang often took Li Gen through the streets of Beijing, allowing him to experience the charm of this ancient city.
Together, they strolled through the Forbidden City, where Wang Xingyang told Li Gen stories of history among the red walls and yellow tiles, captivating him as if he could see the splendor of the past;
Hand in hand, they climbed the Great Wall, embraced on the beacon tower, facing the gentle breeze, Li Gen tightly held Wang Xingyang, overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers, filled with hopes for the future.
During those days, Li Gen's social media platforms were filled with their sweet daily moments, and fans sent their blessings, all believing that this beautiful couple would walk together for life.
In 2016, they entered the palace of marriage, with a grand and luxurious wedding scene. The general manager of the Beijing men's basketball team, mentor Li Qiuping, coach Du Feng of the Guangdong team, and many other bigwigs in the circle came to the scene to offer their most sincere blessings.
At the wedding, Li Gen even announced in front of everyone, "All my income will be managed by my wife!" This was originally a promise full of love and trust, but it unwittingly laid the groundwork for future disputes.
In the early days of marriage, Wang Xingyang often flaunted her love on social media, showing off luxury cars and watches, displaying their affluent life to the world.
Li Gen just smiled at this, even indulgently saying in an interview, "It's only natural to make money for my wife to spend!" However, under the facade of happiness, cracks were quietly growing.
In 2018, Li Gen's career suffered a heavy blow, with frequent injuries and a significant decline in form, coupled with the newly introduced salary cap, resulting in a sharp drop in his income. At the same time, his relationship with Wang Xingyang also encountered a crisis, with the former sweetness gone and conflicts gradually surfacing.
As Li Gen's career hit a low point and he spent more time at home, his interactions with Wang Xingyang were no longer as harmonious as before. Long periods of separation led to a rift between them, with trivial matters in life and differences in personality being magnified at this time.
Wang Xingyang still maintained her luxurious lifestyle, frequently flaunting watches and cars on social media, but Li Gen was no longer able to keep up. They began to argue over small matters, with the once gentle whispers turning into fierce verbal confrontations, and the cracks in their relationship became increasingly apparent, ultimately leading to an irreparable situation.
In 2019, they divorced quietly, but the property division issue after the divorce completely tore their faces apart. Li Gen publicly accused his ex-wife on social media, claiming that the woman still firmly controlled most of his premarital property and all marital joint property after the divorce, with repeated attempts to retrieve it unsuccessful. Helpless, he had no choice but to seek legal action to protect his rights.
He shared his bank statements, contracts, and other evidence to show his predicament to the public, and fans saw their idol of the past now troubled by property issues, rallying to support him.
The internet erupted with discussions, with some condemning Wang Xingyang's actions, believing she should not occupy the wealth Li Gen had worked so hard to earn; others sighed that the once-loving couple had turned against each other over money, which was truly disheartening.
This news instantly exploded on the internet, with fans rallying for Li Gen and condemning his ex-wife's behavior. After all, every penny Li Gen had was earned through his struggles, sweat, and blood on the court, and this property dispute revealed the complexity of human nature in the face of money.
While everyone was still discussing Li Gen's divorce turmoil and speculating whether he could recover his property, a more explosive piece of news came just half a year later: Li Gen remarried!
The bride was a PhD from Renmin University of China, young, beautiful, and gentle in demeanor. Unlike the previous high-profile luxury, Li Gen's second wedding was held very low-key, with only a simple celebration in his hometown of Jiaozuo, with few insiders knowing about it, and he himself did not publicize it much on social media.
Initially, they only discussed academic issues, with Li Gen attracted by Li Yue's extensive knowledge and unique insights, while Li Yue saw the real, simple side of Li Gen off the court, which was completely different from the rumors outside.
As their exchanges deepened, they discovered that they had many common interests, both enjoying reading and watching movies in their spare time, with similar pursuits in terms of quality of life.
Gradually, their relationship warmed up, and they began to date frequently. Unlike Wang Xingyang, who was keen on flaunting material life, Li Yue paid more attention to spiritual communication and resonance.
They would stroll together on the tree-lined paths of the campus, discussing the meaning of life and future plans; they would share their joys and sorrows in quiet cafes. Li Gen felt a long-lost peace and comfort by her side, as if he had found a haven for his soul.
Not until 2022 did Li Gen post a warm photo online, in which he was hugging his wife from the side, with his wife holding a child in her arms, and the three of them looking into the distance at sunset, overflowing with happiness.
From the once highly publicized marriage to the property dispute after the divorce, and then to the current low-key remarriage and enjoyment of life, Li Gen's life trajectory has changed too abruptly.
Li Gen has also gradually emerged from the shadow of divorce, rekindling his passion for life. He has become more actively involved in training, with his form improving, and his teammates jokingly say, "The power of love is really great, Brother Gen is back!"
