If there are fans who pay attention to table tennis, I believe that everyone is no stranger to Zhang Benzhi and this player. Zhang Benzhihe played for Japanese table tennis and once represented Japanese table tennis in the men's table tennis World Cup to beat Ma Long, and Japanese fans still regard him as Chinese. Next, I will take you to understand the situation of Zhang Benzhihe in Japan, and the reasons why Zhang Benzhihe was excluded by Japanese fans.
Zhang Benzhihe, whose original name was Zhang Zhihe, was originally from Sichuan Province, China, but he was born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, and later changed his name to Zhang Benzhihe. The reason why Zhang Benzhihe changed his name was that his father Zhang Benyu immigrated to Japan.
You should know that Zhang Benzhihe's parents were once our national table tennis players, if there is no immigration, with Zhang Benzhihe's table tennis level, he is likely to be a member of our national table tennis now.
As for why he immigrated to Japan, Zhang Benyu also explained it very euphemistically. Zhang Benyu said to the outside world that he did not want to stay in one place when he was young, so he went abroad to walk around and take a look.
After arriving in Japan, Zhang Benyu found that the Japanese living environment was very suitable for him, so he finally chose to immigrate to Japan. Zhang Benyu, a former national table tennis player, is well aware of the intensity of competition in national table tennis. If he had not immigrated to Japan, it would be difficult for him to have a head start in national table tennis.
Under such preconditions, Zhang Benyu's immigration is not difficult to understand. As his son, Zhang Benzhi, who was born in Japan, played for Japanese table tennis.
At a very young age, Zhang Benzhihe showed a strong talent for table tennis, and he was also crowned by Japanese fans as a "ping-pong prodigy".
However, Zhang Benzhihe has no sense of belonging in Japan, taking this year's Tokyo Olympic Games as an example, Zhang Benzhihe was excluded by Japanese fans.
It turned out that before the start of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Zhang Benzhihe had promised Japanese fans one thing, that is, he would help Japanese table tennis win an Olympic gold medal and return everyone's trust in him.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. In the Olympic table tennis men's singles event, Zhang Benzhihe was eliminated very early, which also made him a target for Japanese fans.
When Zhang Benzhihe was eliminated, Japanese fans directly said that he was Chinese, "Zhang Benzhihe is definitely an undercover", "This Chinese drag down the Japanese table tennis", "Get out of our country quickly!" ”
The attitude of Japanese fans to Zhang Benzhihe is a two-pole reversal, you know that Zhang Benzhihe once defeated Ma Long in the Men's Table Tennis World Cup, but what about beating Ma Long?
At that time, Japanese fans directly lifted him to the sky, and when he lost the Olympic Games, Japanese fans did not recognize him as Japanese, which really explained the true meaning of the word "double standard" with practical actions.
Judging from the current situation, Zhang Benzhihe is really thankless, and Both Chinese and Japanese fans do not want to see him.
Chinese fans mocked him for playing for Japanese table tennis as an act of betrayal. Japanese fans didn't take him personally either, still thinking he was Chinese.
Coupled with the fact that Zhang Benzhihe was unable to prove himself in the big competition, the Olympic Games that he waited so hard to wait for, he was also eliminated early in the men's singles event.
It can be seen that Zhang Benzhihe's current situation is indeed quite embarrassing, if Zhang Benzhihe wants to change the perception of Japanese fans about him, then he will definitely win more international gold medals for Japanese table tennis.
However, Zhang Benzhi and his career did not have too many gorgeous achievements, if you have to say a brilliant record. Then in 2018, Zhang Benzhihe won the MEN's Singles Championship of the Ittfro Tour.
In addition, Zhang Benzhihe seems to have no other honors to hand, which is also an important reason why Zhang Benzhihe is excluded by Japanese fans.
Now Zhang Benzhihe is not recognized by Japanese fans, which also makes him have no sense of belonging in Japan, as for how he will perform next, let's wait and see how things develop!
