There is a low-key county in Hubei: formerly known as Mianyang and now known as Xiantao, it is also the hometown of Internet tycoon Lei Jun
Everyone may have heard of Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, since Xiaomi came out Since then, he has been silent, and now he has finally gained a large number of loyal fans of Xiaomi. This is inseparable from Lei Jun's efforts. It can be said that everyone knows Lei Jun’s name, but where is Lei Jun from? In fact, his hometown is in Xiantao City, Hubei Province. Although the county is not well-known, not only is this county famous as Lei Jun, but also five world champions are from here.
Xiantao itself has a high geographical advantage. It is located in the Hanjiang Plain in central and southern Hubei, especially close to the provincial capital Wuhan. Every time Xiantao is mentioned, it is actually a city that values ??culture and education. It has also won many honorary titles in terms of culture, including the reputation of the hometown of number one scholar and the hometown of culture. It is also the "number one county" in the national college entrance examination.
Later I found out that the word "攔" was too rare and difficult to recognize, so I mentioned the word "Xiantao" from the local Xiantao town. After the name was changed, the locals felt very uncomfortable, but Xiantao City had already chosen it, so it was difficult to change it. If you ask the locals what Xiantao is famous for, they will tell you without hesitation that it is, of course, gymnastics. This is the only gymnastics town in the country. As early as 2000, this honorary title was approved. In addition, it is also known as the "Cradle of World Champions."
It’s just that in this city full of rich cultural atmosphere, it was not called this name before. If you want to ask about the development of Xiantao a long time ago, even the elderly elders may not be able to answer. Gotta come out. Before 1986, Xiantao City was not called Xiantao, but was called Mianyang County. At that time, the name change caused a "big oolong" in the local area.
It is reported that in 2008, two gymnasts in Xiantao City won the championship and three gold medals. It was participation in the Olympic Games that made Xiantao create a sports legend in gymnastics. In addition, the five world-class champions who have emerged here are Zheng Lihui, Yang Wei, Li Dashuang, Li Xiaoshuang, and Liao Hui. Since participating in the Olympics, they have won 6 silver medals and 7 gold medals in a row.
As early as 1986, after the State Council approved it, Mianyang County was allowed to withdraw from the county and establish a city. At that time, the locals and local officials were extremely happy. When submitting the name, they did not think much and directly changed it to "Mianyang City". In fact, Mianyang itself has a long history. It was the birthplace of Jingchu culture in ancient times, and the locals are particularly proud of this. But after the State Council approved it, they suddenly discovered that the previous Mianyang City had been changed to Xiantao City.
In addition to the modern sports gods who are Xiantao people, the wife of Zhuge Liang, who was able to calculate and calculate in ancient times, was also a Xiantao person. It's just that most of the emergence of these capable people's ambitions came from Xiantao. I believe that as Xiantao’s popularity increases in the future, it will definitely get better and better.
There is a county in Hubei: Lei Jun’s hometown has produced five world champions, but it changed its name to a strange one
