Recently, the Chinese table tennis world has been experiencing a storm of change. As the head of WTT (World Table Tennis Professional League), Liu Guoliang is facing an unprecedented challenge.
The withdrawal of national table tennis mainstays such as Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng from the world rankings has placed Liu Guoliang under immense public pressure. For a time, calls for his resignation were widespread. Renowned journalist He Xiaolong even bluntly stated, "Liu Guoliang should step down." These words undoubtedly added to Liu Guoliang's troubles.
However, Liu Guoliang's close relationship with wealthy businessman Guo Bin has become a bright spot in this turmoil. Not only do they collaborate commercially, but they also maintain a close personal connection. Guo Bin has hosted the Super League multiple times and rewarded national table tennis players and coaches after the Tokyo Olympics. After Liu Guoliang left the national team, he chose to go to Qingdao, Shandong to engage in real estate business with Guo Bin. This deep friendship makes people exclaim, "It is enough to have one true friend in life!"
Nonetheless, Guo Bin has also faced controversy in recent years. There were questions about his unwillingness to invest when the venue temperature was insufficient during the Super League, and there was criticism for privately opening a product window to sell sexy socks after inviting Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha to endorse products. These negative news events have significantly damaged Guo Bin's image and affected his standing in the public eye.
Recently, famous journalist Du Liyan exposed that Guo Bin's company had 47 surrounding risk information, and Guo Bin himself had 13 tax arrears records, totaling 3.81 million yuan. Moreover, one of Guo Bin's companies was involved in a property dispute lawsuit, with Guo Bin, as the legal person, becoming an executed person and being restricted from consumption. This series of troubles has left Guo Bin in a state of disarray and plunged his company into difficulties.
Despite publicly falling out with Zhang Jike in 2021, Guo Bin recently appeared on Zhang Jike's live broadcast and sent gifts. This behavior sparked heated discussions among fans, with some speculating that Guo Bin's appearance was an indirect response to his own situation. As more information about Guo Bin is revealed by journalist Du Liyan, fans are eagerly awaiting Guo Bin's response.
In this era full of variables, the once golden partnership of Liu Guoliang and Guo Bin now faces their respective challenges. Will they be able to join hands to overcome these difficulties together? Or will they fight separately, ultimately parting ways? Everything is shrouded in uncertainty. As the ancients said, "Understanding worldly affairs is all learning; mastering human relationships is writing articles." It is hoped that they can find their own answers in this storm.
