Recently, the domestic table tennis scene has been very lively! The two major focuses of discussion among fans are, firstly, fan culture and secondly, criticism and accusations against Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.
In recent times, fan culture in the domestic table tennis scene has been very serious. The media is dissatisfied with this, and the fans find it hard to accept as well. The target of criticism is directly pointed at Liu Guoliang! During the Table Tennis Super League, Fan Zhendong, Wang Manyu, Wang Chuqin, and others have all been affected by fan culture. As the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang is well aware of the harm caused by fan culture, yet he has not taken specific measures to rectify and combat it.
The General Administration of Sport has recently launched a heavy crackdown on fan culture. Many famous players or athlete coaches have responded to the call of the Sports Administration. They disbanded their respective fan groups and posted on social media expressing their hope that fans would focus on the matches.
In addition, well-known journalist He Xiaolong has recently been continuously criticizing Liu Guoliang. In He Xiaolong's view, Liu Guoliang is the promoter of fan culture and also the culprit behind the withdrawal of three national table tennis Olympic champions from the world rankings. It can be said that under He Xiaolong's pen, Liu Guoliang seems to be completely useless! Is Liu Guoliang really like this?
The wealthy husband of Olympic table tennis champion Wang Nan, Guo Bin, has written an article for the world media, talking about his perception of Liu Guoliang. We all know that Liu Guoliang has a good relationship with Guo Bin. Guo Bin's successful marriage to Olympic champion Wang Nan was largely due to Liu Guoliang's efforts! It was through Liu Guoliang's introduction that Guo Bin came into contact with and met Wang Nan, and eventually, Guo Bin and Wang Nan became a couple. Their relationship was originally good, and with Liu Guoliang's further assistance, their relationship became even better!
So when Liu Guoliang faced doubts this time, Guo Bin talked about his perception of Liu Guoliang on social media. Guo Bin stated that Liu Guoliang has never spent a single cent of the nation's money, nor has he had a single breakfast provided by the nation. Even when his blood pressure soared to 200, he was still willing to give it his all at the Olympics, as if injected with chicken blood, even if it meant dying there. Obviously, Guo Bin has always been optimistic about Liu Guoliang.
In fact, as things have developed up to now, no matter what the final truth is, Liu Guoliang is in a very passive position! Many of the things listed by the well-known journalist He Xiaolong are facts. However, Liu Guoliang has not immediately explained himself. The truth can only continue to be delayed in being revealed! Will Liu Guoliang step down from his position? Let's wait and see!
