Features: Over the years, Tian Liang has had the habit of writing training diaries and meeting notes. These were after all private records, completely different from the meaning of writing a book, and far from being an easy task. Especially during this period, he experienced the low point of being sent back to his home province by the national team, full training before the Provincial Games, and the peak competition life at the 10th National Games, where the rhythm and content of his life kept changing. During this time, Tian Liang faced not only psychological adjustment but also time constraints, and his autobiography once became an "unachievable task." However, he still completed his autobiography with the resilience of an athlete, driven by his love for diving and an unwavering belief in never giving up. "I just wanted to show everyone a real Tian Liang, a Tian Liang you don't know. I hope to leave a memory for myself and provide some inspiration for those who care about me and the Chinese diving cause," Tian Liang said. In the book, Tian Liang tells small stories about family, friendship, and mentorship; he reveals for the first time the interesting anecdotes and dreams of chasing his passion from a mischievous teenager in Chongqing to a king of the diving platform. His three childhood hobbies, which were like those of a "bey," the transformation from a crying youth to a prince always with a bright smile, his regret over the Atlanta Olympics, his joy at finally winning the Sydney Olympics, and his frustration after falling short in Athens. When it comes to the well-known name "Li Jing Jing," Tian Liang reflects on many fragments of his relationship with his close friend Guo Jing Jing. "The Brightest Ten Meters" is Tian Liang's candid and open narration, a portrayal of a passionate man facing life with a smile, the heartfelt confession of a diving prodigy striving for his dreams, and his noble and tragic song of never giving up in the face of various difficulties and twists. If you want to understand the heart and soul of this diving prince or the secrets behind the long-standing success of the Chinese diving dream team, "The Brightest Ten Meters" is absolutely worth reading.
