Olympic diving star Fu Mingxia has no regrets about marrying former financial secretary Antony Leung Kam-chung, who stepped down after a car-tax scandal last year.
'I have never had any regrets,' she said of her new life as a wife and mother. 'No matter how much glamour I once experienced, now I have found a place to settle and I should be satisfied.'
In a television documentary shot by CCTV, the four-time Olympic gold medallist is seen shopping in a wet market and playing with her husband and child on a beach.
Ms Fu said she had never thought of marrying a knowledgeable man like Mr Leung, although she preferred a mature man.
'But now I think knowledge is very important and that I lack culture,' she said. 'He [Mr Leung] is also a first-time parent. But when a person has knowledge, he has his way of teaching kids. When he oversees the family, I can relax.'
Mr Leung revealed his relationship with Ms Fu, 27 years his junior, in early 2002. They were married in July 2002 and Ms Fu gave birth to their daughter seven months later.
