Many years later, senior fans will not be able to remember Messi's performance in the World Cup.

However, they will definitely remember the nickname "Squid Liu".

The 28-year-old Liu Yuxi became popular because whichever team he wore would lose.

Liu Yuxi, born in 1985, is a typical Sichuan girl.

Although Cuttlehead Liu’s nickname was highly offensive many years later, it was inevitable.

Not to mention that when she became an adult, she accidentally hosted a sports program.

Even in her childhood and adolescence, she never had football in her life memory. figure.

Liu Yuxi was born in Yibin, Sichuan, a mountainous place with mineral deposits.

The little girl has never liked boys' sports since she was a child.

Moreover, the unevenness of the mountains did not encourage people to develop a hobby of playing football.

From elementary school to middle school, her study and life were uneventful.

The first time I really came into contact with football was the 2002 World Cup.

She was 16 years old and was in her first year of high school that year.

The study life in high school was originally extremely boring, and the students who worked hard to make progress wanted to bury themselves in classroom textbooks every day.

But as summer approached that year, the male students in the class began to gradually become commotion.

Not only the underachievers are talking loudly about football, but even the boys who are good at studying can't help but whisper with their classmates.

In Liu Yuxi’s memory, all the male classmates in the class that year seemed to have been shot.

Not only is he extremely excited, but he also gets angry when encountering the slightest dispute.

She really didn't understand what was going on with these boys.

The male students in the class even agreed early on that if there was a football match on the weekend, they would skip class.

Liu Yuxi was a little stunned when she heard the boys' comments.

She was still thinking secretly in her heart, isn't it just watching a football match, why is she working so hard?

If they really skip class, the head teacher will never forgive them.

However, what happened next surprised her.

When the World Cup comes, whenever there is a match for the Chinese team, the class, including the whole school, is shrouded in commotion and uneasiness.

She still clearly remembers that time when the Chinese team competed.

Most of the students in the class ran away, including many girls who didn’t understand football at all.

I was also "coerced" by boys into skipping class and watching football.

Afterwards, the head teacher did not criticize them, let alone ask these students who skipped class to write a review.

At that time, they all thought that maybe the head teacher also liked watching football.

But in fact, almost all the students in the class skipped class. The law does not punish everyone, and the class teacher has no way to punish them.

In this way, with the teacher's tacit approval, the boys in their class spent a wild summer.

Once, she couldn't hold it back any longer and sneaked out with a few people.

Every time the Chinese team scored a goal in the game, they cheered with joy.

And when they got excited, these tall boys actually cried along with them. .

At that time, Liu Yuxi didn’t understand football at all, and she didn’t understand what football brought to boys.

But the crazy behavior of the boys still left her with fresh memories of that year’s World Cup.

After graduating from high school, Liu Yuxi’s life experiences became even more distant from football.

When she was 20 years old, she came to Dong-A University in South Korea as a government-sponsored international student.

After a short period of study, she returned to Chongqing TV and served as the host.

That was the first time she appeared on the show, but she was not hosting a football show.

In the hosting world, compared to the stability of other hosts,

Liu Yuxi has always been "turbulent" during this period of time.

She is both a host and a student of the Music Department of Southwest University.

During this period, I also briefly stayed at Tourism Satellite TV and Jilin Satellite TV.

To be more precise, her hosting experience during this period is more like that of a fledgling intern.

At the age of 26, she participated in the job search TV show "Stand Out".

This program became the starting point for her future direction.

Then in the 2013 Spring Festival Gala, she became one of the hosts of the Jiangsu Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.

After that, she officially entered CCTV.

Since 2013, he has become a sports anchor on CCTV.

Moreover, the scene that drove boys crazy more than ten years ago was about to happen in front of her again.

Only in the special program during the World Cup,

Liu Yuxi was still the sports novice before.

She doesn’t understand boys’ passion for football, let alone football-related skills.

Before the program officially started airing, those who chatted with her about football were professional big shots such as Shao Shengyi, Zhang Lu, and Xu Yang.

As the host, she can only make up lessons before the show officially starts.

Fortunately, there are many decent sports editors in the station, and even if she is just cramming, she can get a lot of useful information.

To be a warm-up vase in the show, this amount of football knowledge can be said to be completely sufficient.

However, what Liu Yuxi did not expect was that this men's carnival would become her first stop in becoming popular.

It’s not because of how good her comments about football were on the show, but entirely because of her wave of reverse assists that year.

On the second day of the game, Liu Yuxi specially put on the Spanish team jersey during the program.

The red jersey was full of enthusiasm, but as the program progressed, a big upset also broke out on the court -

The Spanish team was actually defeated.

This made many fans heartbroken, but at that time, the eyes of the fans had not yet focused on Liu Yuxi.

A few days later, when she donned an Italian jersey, Costa Rica won comfortably.

Many fans couldn't help but think of the former "Squidward".

It’s just that Brother Squidward was a positive prophecy king before. Who would have thought that Liu Yuxi would become a reverse output when he put on the jersey.

At this time, her nickname "Squid Liu" appeared on the Internet.

In the following game, as she cried bitterly in the live broadcast room while wearing the Uruguay jersey,

Squid Liu's reputation was completely known.

As Liu Yuxi became popular, netizens began to use the Internet to speculate about her life experience.

On the other hand, just one week after the World Cup that year, the name Squid Liu was registered as a trademark by her.

During the World Cup, some smart merchants took advantage of her nickname and started selling some sports peripheral products.

Since this nickname was very popular at the time, Liu Yuxi thought of protecting herself.

After registering the trademark, Liu Yuxi actually had not thought about what to do next.

To a certain extent, she has not actually thought about the next step after becoming popular.

In an interview with the media at the time, she said that if she wanted to publish an autobiography of hers, she would write from the smallest to the largest.

However, this autobiography has not yet been put on the agenda, and a series of negative controversies about her have also emerged.

Universal netizens used the Internet to reveal her experience before joining CCTV.

Her original name was not Liu Yuxi but Liu Hang, and her appearance and experience were carefully "dressed up."

Someone seems to have found photos of her before plastic surgery.

At the same time, she, who has repeatedly claimed that she is still single, has also been exposed as possibly getting married.

Before joining CCTV, she had deleted many Weibo posts about her past life.

After transforming into Squid Liu, she still pretended to be a single girl all day long.

She denied these revelations in public interviews.

However, as the program she hosted on the Sports Channel was suspended,

At the end of 2015, Liu Yuxi also left the CCTV platform.

During this period, Panda TV run by Wang Sicong was still in normal condition.

She also did live broadcasts on Principal Wang’s own platform, and also interacted with Principal Wang on Weibo.

Netizens speculated whether she would join Principal Wang after leaving CCTV.

However, Liu Yuxi said before that she and Principal Wang could only be regarded as acquaintances.

Because Principal Wang asked her before what her favorite game is.

She told Principal Wang that it was Tetris.

Then, Principal Wang was speechless.

In fact, after Cuttlehead Liu became famous, Liu Yuxi briefly got married in 2015.

Although some people broke the news that she was married, during Labor Day in 2015,

the news said that the two people had not known each other for a long time at that time, and they had a flash marriage when they obtained the certificate in Taiwan.

Six months after the flash marriage, Liu Yuxi gave birth to a daughter.

So she was pregnant before getting married.

The outside world does not know who will raise the one-year-old daughter after the marriage.

After she became single again, her program host also moved around in various local stations.

During the 2016 European Cup, she traveled almost all over France with the program team.

A year later, she started her journey on the road.

In 2017, she put down all her work and set out from Beijing to travel around the world.

Before setting off, she only carried a bag and zipped up a suitcase.

The first stop of this wandering journey is Mount Everest.

Back then, she set out from Nepal on the south side of Mount Everest.

The hiking journey and the high-altitude climate changed her attitude towards life greatly.

Previously, whether it was hot water or daily necessities, they were all normal things.

But when she came to the foot of Mount Everest, a cup of hot water, a quilt, and even a simple toilet,

made her feel unusual at that moment. precious.

Especially when she hiked to a tourist hotel at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, her inner feelings became even more profound.

It is said to be a hotel, but in fact it is a permanent camping spot in the raging wind.

Strong winds are constant all year round, and at the calmest time, the wind speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour.

That night, as she crawled into her warm sleeping bag, she burst into tears.

Whether she felt the insignificance of human beings or the hardships of the climbing journey, she always thought she would persevere.

For the next seven days, her hiking and climbing continued.

Once at a temporary camping site, she drank five or six glasses of ginger water as soon as she sat down.

Seven days later, she finally arrived at the base camp at the foot of Mount Everest.

Every year, countless tourists come to Everest Base Camp.

Here, she met a tourist from Canada.

This Canadian told Liu Yuxi,

If you have a dream when you are young, you should pursue it, otherwise you will only have regrets when you get old.

After the trip to Mount Everest, Liu Yuxi came to the plateau city of Kathmandu.

From here she went to the next stop - Ankara.

In Türkiye, she stayed longer.

During a journey of more than 4,000 miles, she drove to seven cities in Turkey.

After her journey to West Asia, she came to the Alps at the junction of Italy and France.

After traveling all over Europe, she crossed the Sahara and came to Uganda in Africa.

Then, from Mexico, we went south through the rainforest and arrived at the South American plateau.

Her footsteps finally stopped in Argentina six months later.

At the end of the world, she celebrated her birthday.

She has left her footprints in 19 countries.

Before departure, many friends around her thought that she would not be able to persist if she gave up all her work to travel around the world.

After all, in the eyes of insiders, the key to the advantage of female hosts lies in their age.

But in the end she left it all behind and experienced a completely different life.

Just when she was traveling, her second relationship came on the scene.

Her boyfriend was her former college classmate in South Korea, and the two began dating in the summer of that year.

In the spring of the next year, Liu Yuxi and Li Zaixi registered their marriage in the United States.

Her career continues.

Although it was sports programs that made her popular, she has never been limited to sports programs all the way from Cuttlefish Liu back then.

She has been making new attempts in outdoor reality shows, food shows, and even online live broadcasts.

Last spring, after her daughter was born,

Liu Yuxi came to Tibet again with the program team.

She came to the southern foothills of the Himalayas, on this land that is wrapped in wind and snow all year round.

At the Zora post, she felt the soldiers defending the country in a difficult environment. The hardships of the frontier.

She and the program team are participating in the filming of "Family Banquet".

On the way to the outpost, her tone of voice slowed down too much due to altitude sickness.

The accompanying soldiers asked her to take some oxygen before moving forward, but she finally persisted to the post.

Seeing these soldiers who have been at the border all year round, she wrote a sentence on her mobile phone.

Being a radiant person can give people strength and warmth.

Today, Liu Yuxi is 35 years old.

Perhaps in her opinion, life should be "constantly tossing".

In her own words, she has become the happiest person in Chaoyang District.

And after picking up the microphone and experiencing so many stories, what else is there to be dissatisfied about? Woolen cloth?
