Recently, a video of the national table tennis team has caused quite a stir online. In the video, Liu Guoliang, Wang Chuqin, and Sun Yingsha are standing side by side, with Liu Guoliang in the middle, looking somewhat awkward. This scene was immediately ridiculed by netizens as a "love triangle" scenario. As an old fan who has watched table tennis for 25 years, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Where is this love triangle? It's clearly a perfect match within the national table tennis team! Let's start with the background of this video. The national table tennis team recently went to Nanliang, Gansu for red education activities, exchanged skills with local residents at Qingyang Donghu Park, and then donated to Lenin School. Throughout the process, Liu Guoliang, as the head coach, stood in the C position, with Wang Chuqin on his left and Sun Yingsha on his right. What seems like an ordinary position has been imagined by netizens to be full of "drama". However, I can responsibly tell you that this is not a "love triangle" at all, but rather Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are perfectly cooperating to assist Liu Guoliang! Why do I say this? Let's start from the beginning. Since Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha formed a mixed doubles team, they have shown super strong tacit understanding. At the Paris Olympics, their cooperation reached a level of perfection. From the round of 16 to the quarter-finals, they cooperated seamlessly and easily defeated their opponents. This kind of tacit understanding is not something that can be…

Translation of the article content: Recently, the national table tennis team has made significant moves to distance itself from fan culture, with Wang Chuqin taking the lead as an example. His fan club decisively disbanded its fan group, and he himself massively unfollowed on social media platforms. He also openly expressed his hope for everyone to attain the freedom they desire at the Weibo Night event, which sparked heated discussions. Initially, fans assumed that Wang Chuqin wanted to escape the excessive entanglement of the fan circle, as the influence of fan culture on athletes is both beneficial and detrimental. Many hoped he could play in a purer environment. However, as the situation developed, people couldn't help but wonder if there was more to the story? Media personality He Xiaolong's interpretation escalated the entire incident to new heights. Let's first examine Wang Chuqin's series of actions. The disbandment of the fan group by his fan club is undoubtedly a heavy blow in today's climate where fan power is substantial. It clearly indicates that he no longer wants to be closely monitored by fans and yearns for personal space. The mass unfollowing on social media might be an attempt to clean up his social environment and shed unnecessary social burdens. The phrase "I hope everyone can attain the freedom they desire" at Weibo Night is perplexing and led to various speculations at the time. Some believe he was venting his dissatisfaction with the fan circle, while others speculate he was hinting at his helplessness in certain situations. However, He Xiaolong's interpretation offers…

Recently, a statement about why Wang Chuqin firmly opposed Sun Yingsha's use of closed needles in the competition has gone viral on the Internet. Speaking of closed needles, for athletes, it is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. It can give athletes temporary strength at critical moments, but it may also leave indelible pain. Wang Chuqin has a deep understanding of this. As early as when he was 17 years old, in order to persist in the game, he resolutely chose to take closed needles, but as a result, he paid the price of permanent damage to his knees. For this reason, when Sun Yingsha faced the choice of whether to use closed needles in the game, Wang Chuqin's attitude was extremely firm - opposition. This opposition is not groundless, but stems from his inner care and concern. He knows that the short-term victory brought by closed needles often comes at the cost of the long-term health of athletes. He does not want to see Sun Yingsha follow in his footsteps, nor does he want her to ruin her promising future because of a momentary impulse. Wang Chuqin's concern is delicate and profound. Especially Sun Yingsha, she is even more precious in his heart. He doesn't want to see her take risks for victory on the court, nor does he want to see her struggle in pain. Therefore, whenever someone suggests that Sun Yingsha take closed needles, he will stand up to oppose without hesitation. On the field of the Asian Championship, when coach Ma Lin proposed that Sun Yingsha take closed…

It seems that no matter how much the team promotes him or how high his exposure is, Wang Chuqin's popularity among the public has never quite reached the level of Fan Zhendong. This is undoubtedly a very frustrating situation for star-making teams or small groups. However, strangely enough, Wang Chuqin himself appears to thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being pursued by others, and naturally, he has come to see himself as the top male table tennis player. This was evident when, after being forced to disband his fan group, Beijing Youth Daily Sports couldn't wait to praise him, saying: "Just now, Wang Chuqin's fan club disbanded their fan group. Focusing on training seriously is the key, after all, you, Wang Chuqin, still have to carry the flag for the men's singles at the Los Angeles Olympics!" Carry the flag? I dare ask everyone present, when did you first hear the name Wang Chuqin? He emerged like a sudden prodigy, at least on par with Zhang Jike. So ever since we heard his name, there has been competition between him and Fan Zhendong, just like Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui back in the day, and he has even left Fan Zhendong far behind. But strangely enough, this character who was packaged as a genius in short videos directly fell at the 32nd place barrier, creating a humiliating defeat for the national table tennis team. More importantly, in subsequent competitions, he first lost to Linde, who was almost paralyzed, then to 14-year-old Faraji and 18-year-old Wu Chungheng. Yet despite this, the coaching…

The landscape of China's national table tennis men's singles is quietly changing, with the emergence of the "three giants of the post-05 generation," which is increasing the competitive pressure on Wang Chuqin. The 2025 season has already seen two international competitions: the WTT Doha Star Challenge and the WTT Oman Regular Challenge. For me, these matches are somewhat uninteresting as they are low-level events with many unfamiliar faces, making it hard to get excited. However, after forcing myself to watch a few games, I discovered that there are surprises for the Chinese team in both the men's and women's divisions. The concerns about the梯队 construction might have been overthought, as the coaching staff has already considered these issues. Professionals see further and more deeply than ordinary people. For me, the impressive players from these two stations include Kuai Man breaking through herself, Shi Xunyao catching up later, Huang Youzheng + Chen Yuanyu, post-05 players entering the international arena... Focusing on the men's singles, I feel that Wang Chuqin's potential internal competitive pressure is quietly rising again. Firstly, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan are gradually becoming "a thing of the past." Ma Long, who has already stated that he will not participate in international competitions due to his age reaching the veteran category. Fan Zhendong, after withdrawing from the world rankings, it is unknown whether he will compete internationally in the future. Perhaps only when registering for the Doha World Table Tennis Championships can we see some direction. Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, considered slightly lower-tier world…

Recently, the Chinese General Administration of Sport held a meeting to focus on cracking down on the "fan culture" phenomenon in the sports world. Many athletes and coaches have taken the lead in responding to the call, dissolving their fan groups. Although national team athletes have achieved their results through hard work and competition, without deliberately creating so-called "star athletes," several "top streamers" have emerged over time. For example, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin from the national table tennis team, as well as Pan Zhanle, Liang Weikang, and Wang Chang who broke through at the Paris Olympics. The sports world's resistance to fan culture has received much acclaim from passersby but has also drawn some dissatisfaction from fans of certain athletes. On January 14, 2015, the General Administration of Sport convened a meeting in Beijing based on the current "fan culture" and systemic ideological issues in the sports world. The main content of the meeting was to resist the "star athlete" phenomenon and focus on rectifying and striking against behaviors that "fan culture" the sports world, avoiding the distorted growth of sports enthusiasts. In recent years, the "fan circle" phenomenon has been severe, with fan groups fervently pursuing star idols. This has led to big-name actors in the entertainment industry not relying on works but instead gaining exposure by hyping personas and CPs, even giving birth to "variety show stars." The most serious impact of the "fan circle" phenomenon is on those fan groups. They do not pay attention to an actor's work or a singer's songs; they only focus…

Yesterday, Wang Chuqin's fan club proactively disbanded its fan group, drawing public attention. The national table tennis team has taken the initiative to cut ties with fan culture, but what actions will follow? Renowned media personality He Xiaolong posted an analysis on social media this afternoon, revealing that Liu Guoliang has yet to disband his own fan group, and he firmly believes that Liu Guoliang is finished. Despite Wang Chuqin disbanding his fan group, demonstrating a stance of distancing from fan culture, Liu Guoliang, as the head of the national table tennis team, still has not disbanded his fan groups, with five or six still in existence. This stands in stark contrast to the current requirements of the General Administration of Sport to crack down on fan culture. In He Xiaolong's view, why hasn't Liu Guoliang disbanded his own fan groups? Is there no one who has had a heartfelt conversation with him? There is only one reason: he is definitely finished, with others avoiding him and keeping their distance. He Xiaolong used a profound statement to express his thoughts: "Why is it that in such a chaotic table tennis circle, no one has severely criticized him or even published warnings against him? In matters like these, calmness is most feared." He Xiaolong criticized a claim that Liu Guoliang made significant contributions to the commercialization of national table tennis. His main arguments are twofold. Firstly, before Liu Guoliang, the commercialization of national table tennis relied on Zhang Jike; without Liu Guoliang, fan culture could still form, just not in a…

Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's names are always closely linked in the hearts of fans. Sun Yingsha refers to Wang Chuqin as a trusted partner and close friend, but rumors of their romance continue to circulate, with fans speculating wildly at every new clue. Recently, Wang Chuqin's visit to the Universal Studios theme park has become a hot topic among fans. Following this, Sun Yingsha changed her phone case to a limited-edition panda design from Universal Studios, a detail that was keenly observed by many fans who speculated that it might be a couple's item gifted by Wang Chuqin. As these rumors escalated, Sun Yingsha chose to change her phone case directly, seemingly using this action to express her stance. Shortly after, Wang Chuqin appeared at an annual award ceremony on a social media platform, dressed in attire worth over a million yuan, once again becoming the focus of public discussion. However, surprisingly, just before the award ceremony, there was a drastic change in Wang Chuqin's social media follow list, which shrank from over 180 people to only 18, almost all male teammates and coaches from the national table tennis team. Wang Chuqin unfollowed Sun Yingsha, leading fans to speculate about changes in their relationship. What is the truth behind this? Firstly, considering the individuals unfollowed, Wang Chuqin not only unfollowed all his female national table tennis teammates but also included actresses and well-known figures in the table tennis field he previously followed. Therefore, it is difficult to interpret this behavior simply as "unfollowing Sun Yingsha to dispel romance rumors."…

Liu Guoliang Breaks Silence! Directly Responds to "Dismissal" Rumors, Admits National Table Tennis Team Will Have a "Big Move"‌ By Editor Mai Mai "I firmly believe that Liu Guoliang has been dismissed." On December 24th, well-known sports media personality He Xiaolong publicly posted targeted comments on social media. He didn't forget to add, "This is just my personal judgment." The target of his remarks was none other than the "head of national table tennis" - Liu Guoliang. He Xiaolong usually likes to make some guiding remarks, which can be said to have "stolen the show." It's more like "riding the wave and grabbing attention" rather than expressing an opinion. This time, he once again provoked controversy, quite smug about it. In response, Liu Guoliang no longer remained silent but directly responded to the rumors of his dismissal, admitting that the national table tennis team would make a "big move." The previously smug He Xiaolong also suffered a "slap in the face"! "Bombarding" Liu Guoliang As the "head of national table tennis," Liu Guoliang led the national table tennis team to win numerous honors and medals. Currently, under Liu Guoliang's leadership, the national table tennis team is developing with great momentum. At the recent Paris conference, Liu Guoliang once again led the national table tennis players to compete in Paris, sweeping five gold medals. The national table tennis players are also very popular, gaining countless fans with their strength and personal charm, enjoying endless glory. However, behind the glory, they are deeply embroiled in various negative rumors. Not long ago, well-known…

The Chinese National Table Tennis Team has announced a significant decision: the main female player, Chen Meng, has resolutely decided to disband her fan group, which is undoubtedly a clear statement against the current popular fan culture. Within the national table tennis family, the emotional connection between players and fans has always been very close. Fans passionately cheer for the players, while the players reciprocate with outstanding achievements. However, when this pure emotion is influenced by the complex fan culture, everything seems to become less simple. Especially concerning the rumors of a romantic relationship between Chen Meng and Wang Chuqin, although it is not uncommon for teammates in the sports world to develop into couples, such as Huang Yaqiong and Liu Yuchen from the national badminton team who openly admitted their relationship and received numerous blessings. However, the national table tennis team's handling of such rumors appears ambiguous, neither denying nor admitting, which undoubtedly provides an opportunity for the spread of fan culture. With the increasing efforts of relevant departments to rectify fan culture, the national table tennis team has also actively responded, striving to create a healthier and purer competitive atmosphere. In this context, Chen Meng made a difficult yet necessary choice - to disband her fan group. For her, these fan groups are not only a bridge for interacting with fans but also an important space for sharing life moments and releasing pressure. Especially that small group of only 8 people, which carries many precious memories. Therefore, when making the decision to disband, Chen Meng's mood was extremely…
