Do you know the tragic stories of athletes?

The tragic story of an athlete I know used to be (He Zhili), but now it is Liu. Why are they sad? Because they feel they have been treated unfairly. They are at the peak of their careers. Due to human reasons, they are ranked first in the world where table tennis has the highest gold content. They won the women's singles championship at the World Championships, but they were unable to compete on the singles stage in the Olympic Games. Let’s talk about them.

Old fans should know Xiaoshan Zhili (Ho Zhili), but many young fans don’t know this and find it strange. That's because you're too old. She is in the same group as Jiao Zhimin, Geng and Li Huifen. He was born on September 30, 1964. In the semi-finals of the 39th World Table Tennis Championships in New Delhi, He Zhili was asked to lose to his teammate Guan Jianhua because his superiors believed that this would increase his chances of winning the gold medal. But she defeated Guan Jianhua 3-0 and finally won the championship, which made her superiors angry and decided to punish her. After coordination by teacher Sun Meiying and other leaders, he was exempted from punishment.

But this never changed, because table tennis entered the Olympics the following year, but she was disqualified from participating in the 1988 Olympics. Then she was dropped from the team. In 1989, He Zhili quit the national team and moved to Japan because she could not be reused. There, he met and married engineer Eiji Xiaoshan. Later, he became a Japanese citizen and changed his name to Zhili Xiaoshan.

Oyama Naoki continues to practice table tennis with her husband. In 1992, she chose to return to China. Although she represented Japan in the 42nd World Table Tennis Championships in 1993 and was eliminated from the quarterfinals by the Chinese team Chen, she did not lose confidence and continued to train hard. In October 1994, at the 12th Asian Games held in Hiroshima, Japan, she defeated former Olympic champion Chen Jing (Taipei) and China's "Devil Kings" Qiao Hong and Deng Yaping to win the women's singles table tennis championship.

In the final, Xiaoshan Zhili kept shouting "yo" throughout the whole process of facing Deng Yaping. Before the game, she also complained to major Chinese media that she was unfairly treated on the Chinese coaching bench. . After defeating Deng Yaping, she was even more ecstatic. She said she was more happy to win the Asian Games championship for Japan than to win the world championship for China. This was unacceptable to fans before.

After He Zhili won the gold medal at the Hiroshima Asian Games in 1994, her career achievements did not bring stability to their marriage. On the contrary, he often had conflicts in his career and alienated Xiaoshan Eiji. Before the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Xiaoshan Zhili filed for divorce, demanding compensation for her husband's extramarital affairs and abuse. The Osaka High Court awarded her 6.5 million yen in compensation. The two are officially divorced.

Now Xiaoshan Qier lives alone. I bought a house in Japan. And with the increase in people's awareness, He Zhili is no longer an opponent. Especially when the 48th World Table Tennis Championships was held in Shanghai in 2005, I came to Shanghai at the invitation of the World Table Tennis Championships Organizing Committee and the Table Tennis Badminton Center of the State Sports General Administration of China. From "Overseas Corps" to "Overseas Diplomatic Corps", just one word difference makes people feel the warmth from the motherland. She goes back to her hometown a lot, so it's not bad. In fact, people gradually accepted her. As a result, the ball itself lost its fairness and justice. Xiaoshan Chile was indeed treated unfairly.

Another table tennis player is Zaoer. On May 15 last month, the Chinese team announced its Olympic lineup. As the new world championship women's singles champion, five-time World Cup champion Liu missed the Olympic singles and only participated in mixed doubles and teams. This is Liu's second singles loss after missing the singles match at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. After the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the World Championships women's singles champion could not participate in the Olympic singles, which was very sad. The World Championships women's singles champion will not be able to compete on the Olympic singles stage. It's funny just thinking about it. It does happen. Why will the national table tennis become like this after 33 years? What kind of grievances and pressures did Liu endure?

Liu was born in 1991 and started playing table tennis at the age of 5. At the age of 7, he entered Guangzhou Weilun Sports School and began his real table tennis career. He entered Guangdong Province at the age of 1. He joined two national teams in February 2004, joined the first national team in 2005, and became the main force of the national table tennis team in 2009.

Liu is a famous young athlete. Now it’s Olympic singles again. It’s really sad to think about Liu’s career. It's not the teammates who count. To make someone's throat creak.

In 2006, 16-year-old Zaoer Liu defeated women's singles champion Li to win the All-China Championship. That year, she defeated her partner Hao Shuai and World Championship mixed doubles champion Wang He and won the team championship. It's amazing.

Especially in the 2009 Guangzhou World Cup, she defeated Li in the semi-finals and the final with her overseas card. At the age of 18, she won the World Cup women's singles championship. Becoming the youngest world champion in World Cup history at that time. When she first debuted in 2008, she was called "Deng Yaping" and "Genius Girl".

It is natural to be reused because of excellence, but Shi Zhihao, the female table tennis coach at the time, may be increasing support for newcomers. In the 2010 Moscow World Championships team finals, he also let two newcomers Liu Dingning appear in singles. This is a dangerous situation. As a result, the two young officers who participated were too stressed and both lost. Li Yan lost the first game to Singapore's Feng Tianwei. Liu lost to Wang Yuegu and Feng Tianwei. The Chinese women's team lost to the Singaporean team. Liu became the sinner.

The women's singles semi-finals of the 2011 World Championships proved that Liu carried the fear of losing. Be careful to lose 2-4. She later admitted that she couldn't lose. Later, Zaoer was labeled as having poor psychological quality at the conference. In the 2013 World Championships, they finally reached the finals, but also lost to Japan, China, and Li. Lee is watching the Grand Slam.

In the women's semifinals of the 2015 Suzhou Championships, Liu faced Li again. This time, she defeated Li 4-2 and entered the women's singles final. However, she thought she would play cautiously again in the finals, but something unexpected happened. She played two consecutive games aggressively after falling behind 1-3. Especially Dining, who won 11-4 in the sixth game. The point, speed and angle are all just right. There is still a 2-0 lead in the final.

I sprained my ankle at this time. A 10-minute medical interruption disrupted the rhythm of her seizure. Especially Ding Ning, his feet are fine when playing. Picking up the ball and pulling the lame man at the same time. I lost the last game 8-11. Even without drama.

With a laurel, you can become the world's number one directly on the eve of the 2016 Olympic Games. The number of women's singles champions in the 2015 World Cup has increased. All invitations from the International Table Tennis Federation to the Olympic singles were rejected by the top officials of the Table Tennis Association. I seriously changed her singles spot. That year she only competed on the women's team at the Olympics. I remember she had to win the women’s singles title at the World Championships. This would give her a ticket to the Olympic singles.

After the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she was exhausted physically and mentally and withdrew from the World Cup due to injury. Kong Linghui said she was afraid of difficulties and said it was a negative game. But, unbelievably, Dineen got injured and the game was canceled. This is a problem every time I come here. But she was strong, and then Liu Shiwen returned to the team with the Super League Women's Team Championship and 11 wins in the 2017 World Championship.

Zhu Yuling, who lost three times in the Asian Cup and World Cup in the 2017 World Championship, once served as the team leader to support the team. Liu Shiwen also led Wuhan Anxin to win the championship again with self-discipline and hard work in the 2017-2018 season. She entered the leading club and individual scoring charts in both events. Voted Most Valuable Player.

In March 2018, Liu Shiwen started the qualifying round at the Qatar Open, which is known as the Smaller World Championship. Seven wins in seven games, consecutive victories over Yang, Zhu Yuling, Chen Xing, Ishikawa Kasumi, and Wang Manjiao. Ma Lin is known as the "Princess of the Universe". She won the Australian Platinum Open in July politely.

In December 2018, Liu Guoliang served as the president of the Table Tennis Association and announced the two-way choice of athletes and coaches. Ma Lin officially became the director of Liu Shiwen. In just six months, under Ma Lin's guidance, Liu Shiwen's skills won the women's single and mixed championships in the World Championships. Previously, he was suspected of being Mima Ito because of his loss to Hata Hayata. Later, when he defeated Zhu Yuling in the World Cup, he surpassed Wang Nan and Zhang Yining to win for the fifth time.

In particular, the women's singles championship at the World Championships is considered one of the three events for the Tokyo Olympics.

Coupled with the postponement of the Olympic Games, she herself underwent elbow injury surgery in June last year. Moreover, the boss also lost to Ito. In order to stop Liu Guoliang's mouth, retired old coaches Lu Yuansheng, Yin Kong, Li Xiaodong and three former Grand Slam players Wang Nan, Zhang Yining and Li Xiaoxia conducted voting activities. In such a short period of half a month, Liu Guoliang revised the Olympic selection rules twice in a row, excluding Liu Shiwen from singles based on Olympic points ranking. The new women's singles champion of the World Championships has no chance to compete on the Olympic singles stage. Decades are rare.

So, do you think Zao Liu Shiwen is unwilling? Sad? For the first time, the world said that if you are not the world championship women's singles champion, you cannot go to the Olympic singles. When he tried his best to win the women's singles championship at the World Championships, he said that he was not No. 1 in the world. Can we exchange personal mines? Liu Shiwen is kind-hearted and is not registered in Beijing. If Ding Ning has the best results in competitions like Liu Shiwen, then he will at least lose in foreign battles. Did Liu Guoliang do this?

I remembered again the words of Cai Meng, the former table tennis host. It's a pity that Mr. Liu Shiwen's technical strength is not complete enough. Well, it’s not that Liu Shiwen couldn’t win the Olympic singles championship, it’s that she didn’t have complete technical strength. She had no chance of making it to the singles stage at the Olympics. But what if voters can get their hands on her at the 2019 World Championships? She was also in bad form before the World Championships. Does anyone want to take her crown? So trust, especially being trusted by decision makers, is such a blessing.

Personally, Liu Shiwen really lacks luck. He failed to participate in the Olympic singles and failed to become a Grand Slam player. He watched two seniors of the same strength as him, Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning, become Grand Slam players.

However, I personally think that Liu Shiwen did not lose to herself. She lost to the rules and Liu Guoliang's prejudice. Even if it is not a Grand Slam, Liu Shiwen's five World Cup women's singles championships have left a good impression on the table tennis world.

She may not be a Grand Slam player, but her tenacity, hard work and love for table tennis are like a beam of light, illuminating others and spending wonderful years. She did not compete in the Qatar Open last year, but the story of donating 300,000 yen in prize money to fight the epidemic in Wuhan is also unforgettable. I will never forget that she lowered her head and led the young players of Wuhan Anxin Club to participate in the challenge in Thailand.

Well, it’s not a Grand Slam, how about it? Because I love Zao, I accept this incompleteness. It doesn't matter. Zao, Liu Shiwen, I want to tell you. Where are you? Where is the applause? Please mix your Olympic gold cheer. Silly girl, success is a mess, failure is also a mess, who knows? You can't do three projects like Ito, Sorga and Shiki. Support mixed and women's teams.

Anyway, you are the most tired in our hearts. The best. Then, filled with sadness. Is it another kind of happiness to be liked by millions of fans?
