Zhang Guozheng: Gold Medal to
Wife
After winning the gold medal in weightlifting in Athens, Zhang announced
before camera: "Sweetheart, I love you so much!" This became an iconic word of
Zhang Guozheng. He hung the medal on h
is wife's neck first thing when they met
and claimed: "this gold medal is yours now", all in the presence of a big crowd.
Later on, Mrs. Zhang stored the medal somewhere, Zhang Guozheng did ask his
wife where she had kept it, but she refused to tell him and said: "Since you
have already given it to me, I can keep it wherever I like." Of course she
doesn't really mean to keep it to herself. It is simply too precious to risk any
careless. Zhang GuoZheng magnanimously said: "I feel safe to keep the medal in
my wife's hand. It must be safer than keeping it in the bank, because if I can't
find it, how can anyone else?"
