National Table Tennis Role Model of Loyalty: Chen Meng Takes the Lead to Help Fan Zhendong, Sibling Affection Deep The sibling affection in the national table tennis team: Fan Zhendong challenges the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), and Chen Meng announces her withdrawal from the world rankings on the same day. What a touching display of sibling affection is this? Back when Fan Zhendong emerged as a 16-year-old prodigy, he was the youngest member of the national table tennis team and was once the team's darling, much like the current top player Wang Chuqin. At that time, Zhang Jike was the brother who doted on him the most, while Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng from the women's team were very fond of this younger brother. Now, with news of Chen Meng appearing on variety shows and recording the Spring Festival Gala being exposed, the public is increasingly seeing clearly that the 30-year-old Chen Meng has basically retired from the table tennis arena, which is not the same as the 27-year-old Fan Zhendong, who is still in his prime. In fact, Chen Meng could have chosen not to make this statement and left quietly in a relatively mild manner, which would not have offended the leaders of the national table tennis team and the World Table Tennis Corporation (WTT). However, Chen Meng is very righteous; she chose to stand with her younger brother Fan Zhendong from back then, not letting him fight alone. She understands that when two Olympic singles champions speak out together, the impact is completely different. In fact,…

Xinhua News Agency announced the list of the top ten domestic athletes for 2024, and as a fan who has been watching table tennis for over thirty years, I am filled with mixed emotions. Wang Chuqin, the leader of the new generation, was unexpectedly left out, which made me think deeply about the reasons behind it. Let's talk about Wang Chuqin's performance this year. At the Paris Olympics, he and Sun Yingsha partnered to win the mixed doubles gold medal, creating history for the Chinese table tennis team. This gold medal is not light in weight; it fills the gap in the Olympic mixed doubles event for the national team. Their默契配合 on the court and their fighting spirit made us old fans' blood boil. He also contributed significantly to the national team's successful defense of the title in the team event. Unfortunately, in the men's singles competition, Wang Chuqin failed to maintain his previous good form and was eliminated in the knockout stage, which is indeed a great pity. Men's singles has always been the most important event in the international table tennis arena, with particularly high value. This setback undoubtedly affected his selection results. I noticed that Wang Chuqin's popularity has been skyrocketing. A few days ago at the Shanghai airport, he was surrounded by a large number of fans. Even though he was fully equipped, he was still recognized by sharp-eyed fans. Seeing him surrounded like that, I couldn't help but say, we should pay more attention to his matches! Ma Long was able to be selected into…

On January 9th, the WTT Star Challenge mixed doubles quarter-finals saw the Chinese national table tennis team's Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao face off against the Hong Kong pair of Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin! Although Huang Youzheng and Shi Xunyao have performed well as a mixed doubles team, they had little chance of victory against the experienced and powerful Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin, who were already well-known during Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen's mixed doubles partnership and even ranked as high as second in the world at one point. In the first game, despite Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin's默契配合 and richer match experience, Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao entered the match state faster with a 7-4 lead at the start, taking the lead. Afterwards, Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin made timely adjustments to try to close the score gap, bringing it to 7-9. Finally, Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao stabilized the situation, securing a game point at 10-7. Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin successfully saved one game point, but Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao took the first game with an 11-8 score. In the second game, Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao continued their stable performance with a 6-3 lead at the start and an 8-6 lead! Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin did not back down, scoring continuously to narrow the gap and catch up to 7-8. Huang Youzheng/Shi Xunyao reached a game point at 10-9, but Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin equalized the score again. Ultimately, Wong Chun Ting/Du Kai Qin withstood the pressure, securing a game point at 11-10 and winning the game 12-10, evening the score to 1-1.…

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…

"Is the backstage of Chinese table tennis impeccable as well as its invincibility on the court?" While we cheer for the powerful shots of our national table tennis players on the field, few people notice that the management of Chinese table tennis is experiencing a storm. Liu Guoliang and Guo Bin, two pivotal figures, have recently been at the center of controversy. On one side, there are calls for Liu Guoliang, the WTT chairman, to step down, while on the other, Guo Bin, the "godmother of the national team," is heavily in debt, and their situations are affecting the future of the national team. Behind the glory, it seems that a shadow is emerging. Speaking of Liu Guoliang, who doesn't know him among the Chinese? From being the head coach of the national team to becoming the chairman of WTT, Liu Guoliang is not only a symbol of the glory of the national ball but also a commander on the road of reform. However, this time he has taken a big fall. The incident began with the sudden withdrawal of three main players, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng, from the world rankings. This directly exploded public opinion - some fans shouted on social media at midnight: "Without rankings, how will we participate in international competitions? Matches are not child's play!" This event has led to unprecedented questioning of Liu Guoliang's management style. Famous reporters like He Xiaolong and Du Liyan added fuel to the fire by continuously posting articles accusing Liu Guoliang of "ineffective governance" and directly targeting…

In the current Chinese table tennis world, Wang Chuqin is undoubtedly one of the hottest new stars. Despite facing some controversy and doubts after Fan Zhendong withdrew from the world rankings, Wang Chuqin's popularity within the national team remains high. This popularity not only stems from his skills and looks but also has to do with the fan culture in table tennis, especially CP combinations. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha have been rumored multiple times, but there are obvious differences between them in terms of dressing and values. Sun Yingsha defines Wang Chuqin on social media as just a partner and friend, so the rumors about the two may be more of fans' expectations. "The true friendship, like health, you won't realize its real value until you lose it." — This sentence might explain the relationship between Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. In contrast, the rumors about Wang Chuqin and Chen Meng are more famous. Some media exposed photos that Chen Meng was suspected of celebrating Wang Chuqin's birthday, which further intensified fans' speculation about their relationship. More notably, Chen Meng's mother preemptively registered Wang Chuqin's English name "HOPE WANG" as a trademark, and Wang Chuqin did not file a complaint. Recently, Chen Meng's mother announced that her preemptive registration of the "HOPE WANG" trademark in four categories (clothing, shoes, hats, advertising sales, daily chemical products, and fitness equipment) has all been successfully registered. It is reported that the related products of "HOPE WANG" are currently in the design and production stage and are expected to be sold in 2025.…

The world of table tennis has been rocked by a major revelation! Coach Ni Rui Lian's live stream exposed the truth about the "golden boy and jade girl" duo of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, shattering the fairy tale in everyone's hearts. Netizens were stunned by this news, who would have thought that this pair, who were so sweet on the court, were not actually in that kind of relationship off the court? This is almost as hard to accept as losing a grand slam match! Sports circle CP fans have once again been slapped in the face by reality. Honestly, hasn't everyone imagined several seasons of a TV series about this pair's "love story"? Those sweet interactions, could they really just be our wishful thinking? It's tough being a sports couple! Athletes' love lives are like secrets hidden under an iceberg, we only ever see the small part above water. Who knows what they're really like behind closed doors? But when you think about it carefully, it's not entirely our fault as fans for indulging in these fantasies. Just look at their interactions on the court, who wouldn't be captivated? Those subtle glances and gestures are constantly giving fans a sugar rush. We, the onlookers, are just too easily deceived by appearances. A little intimate interaction and we immediately imagine a grand drama. Isn't this a classic case of "three points of affection upon meeting"? Speaking of which, we must discuss the romantic views of professional athletes. Their focus is on competitions and training, where do they find the…

Recently, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Shigatse City, Tibet, touching the hearts of countless Chinese people. After the earthquake, various government departments urgently responded to the national call, prepared relief materials, and sent them into the disaster area as soon as possible. In addition to government departments, civilian organizations also immediately took action, especially several charity foundations established by celebrities, such as the "Han Hong Charity Foundation" and the "Huang Xiaoming Love Foundation," among others. Many stars from the arts and sports worlds have also donated money and goods, for example, Wang Chuqin, a member of the Chinese table tennis team, donated to the "Han Hong Charity Foundation," making him the first athlete within the national table tennis team to donate for this Tibetan earthquake. Wang Chuqin's donation has garnered unanimous praise, and even some of his detractors have stated that although he performed poorly in the men's singles event at the Olympics, he is absolutely responsible for being the first to step up and donate in the face of disaster. In fact, after the Tibetan earthquake, people began to tally donations from celebrities and athletes. In the past, only celebrity donations were counted because, compared to celebrities, the earnings of athletes are negligible and not worth mentioning. However, this time, athletes like Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Ma Long, and Zheng Qinwen were included in the statistics by netizens. The reason for this, according to some netizens, is that their popularity is on par with celebrities, and their endorsements are no less impressive. Thus, after Wang Chuqin's donation,…

Liu Guoliang's current situation is not good due to Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng withdrawing from the world rankings. As the head of WTT, Liu Guoliang finds himself in a precarious position. Notably, when famous reporters like He Xiaolong and Du Liyan exposed many inside stories about the national table tennis team, calls for Liu Guoliang's dismissal began to rise, with He Xiaolong confidently stating that he believes it is time for Liu Guoliang to step down. As Liu Guoliang's affairs are magnified, the media has also uncovered information about his associates, such as his friend Guo Bin, a wealthy businessman who has hosted multiple Super League table tennis tournaments. Many fans got to know Guo Bin through Wang Nan, especially after he rewarded the national table tennis players and coaches with seven courtyard houses after the Tokyo Olympics and gave Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long each six catties of gold at the Paris Olympics. For a long time, Guo Bin was considered a close ally of the national table tennis team. However, in recent years, he has faced much controversy, such as being questioned for not investing enough in the venue temperature during the Super League and being criticized for privately opening a product showcase for Wang Chuqin to sell sexy socks after inviting Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha as endorsers. Of course, Guo Bin's most famous incident occurred after Liu Guoliang resigned as the head coach of the national table tennis team and left the team, heading to Qingdao, Shandong to join Guo Bin.…

In the world of national table tennis, recently He Xiaolong has put forward some eye-catching viewpoints, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Liu Guoliang's plan for the Paris Olympic cycle focused on Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, the "Sha Tou" duo, aiming to make them Olympic triple gold winners and a box office guarantee for WTT. It's like meticulously crafting a superstar pair, hoping they will shine like stars illuminating the entire court. However, regarding the abilities and achievements of the "Sha Tou" duo, He Xiaolong has put forth a different perspective. He compared the "Sha Tou" duo with legendary players in table tennis history like Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining, saying they are not yet qualified. He also compared their achievements in winning team and mixed doubles titles at the Olympics with Ni Xia Lian, as if comparing a sapling growing in fertile soil with a small grass tenaciously growing in a corner. The "Sha Tou" duo has undoubtedly achieved good results, but compared with their predecessors, there seems to be a gap in terms of depth and comprehensiveness, just like a small lotus bud that has yet to match the vastness of great achievements. Sun Yingsha's loss in the women's singles final at the Paris Olympics has also received much attention. He Xiaolong believes that part of the reason is over-marketing leading to excessive self-confidence. It's like a person being praised too high, forgetting the path beneath their feet, and ultimately stumbling at a critical moment. As for Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu,…
