In the sports world, there are often people who choose to "betray" their home country in order to achieve better results, and they do not hesitate to turn their original teammates into "enemies", and even give up their original nationality and join other countries.
But there is such a player in Japan, although she was born in Japan, she has a huge number of Japanese fans, even in the face of the Japanese authorities' warm invitation, she did not hesitate to refuse, not only always determined not to become a Japanese citizen, but also represented China to attend the competition, many times defeated Japanese players!
In front of the Japanese camera, she always insisted on one sentence: "I am Chinese, and what flows in my body is Chinese blood!" ”
Take the championship
In 2016, in the Xiamen International Open, Shi Yuting and Dutch player Anne Van Damme launched a fierce championship match.
The original article was published on China News Network on October 16, 2016 about the Xiamen International Open Shi Yuting lost by one shot and the Dutch player won the championship
In the first round, although Anne Van Dam made a 4-foot birdie on the second hole, and then scored a good score on the fourth and par 5 holes, she had the upper hand on the sixth hole, which gave the mainland players hope to win.
By the time Shi Yuting came on, she birdied the fourth, sixth, and seventh holes in succession, and with this excellent result, she successfully regained the leading position, for which the fans were also very excited, and everyone thought that she could win the championship in this game.
But unexpectedly, on the 10th hole, she accidentally drove the ball into the long grass under the tree, which caused her to make a mistake, and on the 11th hole, she birdied and was bounced back, especially on the 18th hole.
After all, the difficulty of Xiamen Oriental No. 18 is recognized, when Shi Yuting kicked off, she unfortunately hit a tree, and the ball rebounded back at this time, and the rebound position was also very bad, which led to the fact that it was difficult to control the distance when she was exerting her strength.
It was precisely because of this series of mistakes that she was only one shot away from the champion, but in the following competition, she successfully won the CLPGA prize money king with her excellent results, and became the second youngest money king in the history of CLPGA.
And after this title, she can qualify for the US Women's Open, at this time, the Japanese authorities invited her to play for Japan, and even offered her a series of generous rewards, but under the temptation of reputation interests, she did not waver.
On the contrary, she firmly said: "I am Chinese, only for China", and in the following days, she fought on the Japanese Tour for a year, not only improving her skills, defeating Japanese players many times, but also attracting the love of many Japanese fans.
Born in Japan
But some people must be curious, why did she defeat Japanese players many times and still gain Japanese fans? And even the Japanese authorities graciously invited her?
In fact, Shi Yuting was born in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, but her parents are all Chinese, only because of the work in the early years, her parents came to Japan, and in 1997, ushered in Shi Yuting's cute little life, but her parents have never changed their nationality.

And Shi Yuting's father, Shi Yuedong, is an employee of a high-tech company in Japan, for work reasons, he needs to often accompany customers to play, but he is not good at this, and this thing was not popular in China at that time, so he could only make up for his "homework" in advance in his spare time.
But he felt very bored to practice here alone, so he took Shi Yuting to the course, thinking that he could accompany his daughter to play and practice golf at the same time, but what he didn't expect was that Shi Yuting became interested in golf.
So under a brief explanation, 7-year-old Shi Yuting picked up the club and played well, seeing this, Shi Yuedong thought that she was very talented in this area, so he thought about golf as a hobby to cultivate, and hired a golf coach for her.
After a year of training, Shi Yuedong took her to the "Zhang Lianwei Cup" International Junior Golf Invitational Tournament held in Shenzhen, what was unexpected was that in this competition, she played very well and won the third place.
So in the following days, she entered the Huangshan Junior Golf Training Center, began to receive more systematic and professional training, but also in her spare time, she still worked hard, and in the end, she won many championships in China, and set a record of 7 times participating in HSBC junior tournaments in one year, winning 6 championships and 1 runner-up.
In the face of such excellent results, the training center signed her up for some professional competitions, and not only did she show amazing talent and strength, but in 2009, at the age of 11, she set a record for the youngest player to participate in the CLPGA.
Won the first Japan Tour title
In 2022, Shi Yuting "showed her strength" on the field again, and at the beginning of Jueya, although she still had a 4-shot gap with the 36-hole leader, she was not nervous, but focused on the field, and even scored 33 strokes in the transition.

She finished the second half on a smooth note after the transition, while her opponent Yuri Yoshida shot a 69 in the final, having won two races last year and finished in the top 10 10 times in this tournament.
Facing such an opponent, it is undoubtedly a huge pressure for Shi Yuting, but she also understands that the victory or defeat is at this moment, so she stabilized her mentality and completed the comeback in the last shot, not only completing the reversal with a score of 66 (-6), but also winning her first Japanese Tour championship trophy.
She also became the fifth Chinese player to win the Women's Japan Tour after Zhang Na, Feng Shanshan, Ye Liying and Lu Wanyao, in this game, although the Chinese team ended up in a tie for 31st, but the best performer, Ding Wenyi, he was tied for 25th.
Although after this game, Shi Yuting brought Japan again, but her heart is still in China, and she continues to train hard in Japan, in order to be able to play for China in the future and add color to the motherland.
And it can be seen from her social platform that she often updates some of her daily routine, but it is usually a video of her practicing golf, and through her continuous efforts, she will improve her performance and let domestic fans feel at ease.
epilogue
It is precisely because of the existence of patriotic people like Shi Yuting that our motherland has become a better place, compared to individual stars who "treason" for money, this is the star we should pursue now.
At the same time, I also hope that Shi Yuting and other athletes in the mainland can be smooth sailing on the next road and create brilliance many times, so as to add more honors to the mainland!
