I also sighed when I saw this news. The former director of the General Administration of Sport, Gou Zhongwen, has been officially arrested. As a table tennis fan, think about it carefully, this is really a strange thing - a top leader of the sports bureau has turned our proud national table tennis upside down. Speaking of his operations, it's really laughable. How did he become the sports director? He implemented a unified national physical test, regardless of whether you are a swimmer or a table tennis player, everyone must follow the same standard. Isn't this just playing around? As a result, many world champions and Olympic champions were "killed" by this one-size-fits-all approach, even losing their eligibility to participate. What makes me most angry is when he targeted the national table tennis team. He not only marginalized Cai Zhenhua, our table tennis hero, but also removed Liu Guoliang from the position of head coach and placed him as a vice-chairman of the Table Tennis Association. Isn't this just causing trouble for no reason? At that time, it really angered Ma Long, Xu Xin, and others, leading to the "June 23 strike," which was unprecedented in the history of national table tennis! But looking back now, it's really the turn of fortune. Liu Guoliang is now the chairman of the Table Tennis Association, leading the national table tennis team to win championship after championship. Cai Zhenhua also retired peacefully. On the contrary, Gou Zhongwen himself stumbled, and now he is charged with bribery and abuse of power. Speaking of the…

The person named Gou Zhongwen is really speechless. He was originally engaged in scientific research but insisted on managing sports, and was eventually arrested for embezzlement. When this incident came out, everyone clapped their hands in approval, after all, the things he did during his tenure were too outrageous. Although Gou Zhongwen has a master's degree in engineering and a doctorate in management, and is also a researcher-level senior engineer, these achievements have nothing to do with sports. He had been working in research institutes and research and development centers before, and had no understanding of sports projects at all. At that time, there was another very suitable candidate, Cai Zhenhua. Not only was he a world champion, but he also achieved excellent results as a coach after retiring. Even the Chinese men's football team improved under his leadership. This kind of person who has actually worked in sports was not used, but an outsider was chosen instead. The General Administration of Sport is such an important department. Finding someone who knows nothing about it to manage it is simply absurd, just like asking a chef to repair a car. Although they are both technical jobs, they are completely different. Some people say that Gou Zhongwen had successfully implemented reforms before, but the particularity of the sports field is very strong, and it cannot be compared with other industries. Reform experience alone is not enough. The first thing Gou Zhongwen did after taking office was to push Cai Zhenhua away. Cai had devoted most of his life to Chinese sports,…

Official Arrest! The Highest Official Position in Chinese Sports to Date, Deeply Affected Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua Introduction On December 19, 2024, CCTV reported that Gou Zhongwen, the former director of China's General Administration of Sport, had been arrested. As the "top leader" in the sports world, Gou Zhongwen's actions during his tenure deeply affected Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua. Since Gou Zhongwen was placed under investigation in May, there has finally been a result. So, what did Gou Zhongwen do during his tenure that made netizens pay so much attention? Parachuted Director The name Gou Zhongwen first appeared in front of the public in 2016. At that time, Liu Peng, the director of the General Administration of Sport, was in the period of stepping down and making way for others. Among those capable of taking over, the most hopeful was Cai Zhenhua. Because Cai Zhenhua had participated in events such as the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympics in his early years, winning many world championships. Famous figures in the table tennis world like Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui were all his students. Therefore, people generally believed that the next director of the General Administration of Sport would be him. However, the result was that an electronic information department dean named Gou Zhongwen was parachuted in to directly replace Liu Peng's position. When this announcement came out, everyone who cared about this matter was stunned. After all, everyone knows that to lead a specific group of people, one generally looks for a suitable manager within that group.…

In the glorious history of sports, the Chinese women's volleyball team was once a hero in the hearts of many people. However, in recent years, their glory seems to have been overshadowed by a shadow. From the failure at the Tokyo Olympics to the difficulties faced at the Paris Olympics, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has plummeted like a roller coaster. Behind all this, it turns out to be directly related to the arrest of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport. Now, let us uncover the mysterious veil and find out the truth behind the Chinese women's volleyball team. I. The Dilemma of the Volleyball Team: Falling from Great Heights Where is the former champion now? In recent years, the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team has declined rapidly. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, they only won 2 games and lost 3 in the group stage, failing to enter the top eight, which made many fans extremely sad. In the 2024 Paris Olympics, although they barely made it into the top eight, they lost 2-3 to the Turkish women's volleyball team in an important quarterfinal match, returning from the court disappointed once again. This is not just about losing a game, but also about losing the spirit of the volleyball team. What is the reason behind this? The name Gou Zhongwen is now closely associated with the dark period of Chinese sports. During his tenure as director of the General Administration of Sport, the performance of China's three major ball sports…

Official Arrest! The Biggest Official Position in Chinese Sports So Far, Deeply Affected Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua Introduction On December 19, 2024, as the year was about to end, Gou Zhongwen, the former member of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), former deputy director of the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, and former director of the General Administration of Sport, was finally arrested. Netizens cheered, and since Gou Zhongwen was investigated in May, many people have been paying attention to this "professional" who has caused trouble for the national table tennis team and the national football team, deeply harming Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua. Now that he has been arrested, it is a great relief. Parachuted Bureau Chief In 2016, Liu Peng, then director of the General Administration of Sport, was already quite old and began to consider stepping down. At that time, the most popular candidate was Cai Zhenhua, the deputy director. This table tennis veteran started fighting for the national team in 1979, with his figure appearing in the World Championships in 1981, 1983, and 1985, winning numerous championship medals. In 1991, during the decline of Chinese table tennis, Cai Zhenhua returned from coaching in Italy and took up the mantle of Chinese table tennis. Under his coaching, China's table tennis career improved year by year, almost sweeping all kinds of world championships at the beginning of the 21st century. It was thought that Cai Zhenhua becoming the director-general was a foregone conclusion, but when the actual…

The intricate web of interests and the ever-changing landscape of the sports world have seen a silent war come to an end in China's sports circle. On December 19, 2023, an announcement marked the downfall of Gou Zhongwen, once a towering figure in Chinese sports, now relegated to the dustbin of history like autumn leaves fading away. Rewind to 2016, a year of extraordinary change in Chinese sports, where a high-level reshuffle sent shockwaves through the entire industry. At that time, Cai Zhenhua's name was at its zenith within the General Administration of Sport. This table tennis legend had transitioned from athlete to coach, then to Vice Minister of the General Administration of Sport and President of the Football Association, each step solid and glorious. His resume mirrored the illustrious history of Chinese table tennis, commanding respect. Many believed that Cai Zhenhua would be the one to lead Chinese sports to new heights. However, fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks. Just as everyone eagerly anticipated, a dark horse emerged—Gou Zhongwen. To the sports world at the time, this name was unfamiliar. He did not hail from the sports sector but was an expert who had long cultivated in the field of information technology. Such a background made his appointment controversial. It was rumored that Gou Zhongwen stood out among many competitors due to his exceptional management abilities demonstrated in the education system. The higher-ups hoped he could bring this spirit of innovation into the sports world. Upon taking office, Gou Zhongwen embarked on drastic reforms. His first move targeted personnel…

Recently, the news of the former director of the General Administration of Sport, Gou Zhongwen's formal arrest has once again pushed this controversial sports official to the forefront of public opinion. Looking back at Gou Zhongwen's various actions during his tenure at the General Administration of Sport, it is clear to see the profound impact his decisions have had on China's sports industry. Gou Zhongwen was born in June 1957 in Zhenyuan, Gansu. In 2016, he was transferred to serve as the director of the General Administration of Sport, marking the beginning of his most controversial career in China's sports world. Upon taking office, Gou Zhongwen demonstrated a strong desire for reform, but these reform measures ultimately caused many negative effects due to a lack of in-depth understanding and respect for the development laws of sports. The most representative event was the reform of the national table tennis head coach system. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, under the leadership of then-head coach Liu Guoliang, the Chinese table tennis team continued its past glorious record, sweeping all gold medals. However, against the backdrop of such a team achieving great success, Gou Zhongwen insisted on reforms, abolishing the effective head coach responsibility system. More confusingly, Liu Guoliang was removed from his position as head coach without warning, a decision that sparked significant controversy at the time. This sudden personnel change provoked a strong reaction from the national table tennis players. During the China Open held in Chengdu, including Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, and other main players of the national table…

In recent years, China's national team has been in the limelight at the Olympics, firmly securing a top-three position on both the medal and gold medal standings. However, the performance of the "big three" sports has been a cause for concern, especially the once-proud Chinese women's volleyball team. From being eliminated in the group stage at the Tokyo Olympics to stopping at the quarter-finals in Paris, the achievements of the volleyball players have plummeted like a slide. Among these, the name of Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, has been frequently mentioned, becoming a target of public criticism. Recently, good news arrived: Gou Zhongwen has been officially arrested! This "big shot" who had a profound impact on the Chinese sports world during his tenure has finally faced legal judgment. His arrest raises the question: does it mean that the Chinese women's volleyball team, and even the entire Chinese sports world, will undergo a thorough cleansing and rebirth? Speaking of Gou Zhongwen, one cannot help but mention his reforms during his tenure, particularly those concerning the national table tennis team. In 2017, Liu Guoliang was "promoted" from head coach of the national table tennis team to vice-chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, which appeared to be a promotion in title but was actually a stripping of power. This change directly triggered a strike within the national table tennis team, with many top players expressing their longing for Liu Guoliang and their dissatisfaction with the reforms on social media. During those difficult times, the national table…
