Recently, the eyes of netizens have been on the various competitions of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, among which the attention of the table tennis competition is definitely ranked among the best.
Although in the eyes of many people, we won all the competitions of table tennis, but the table tennis players who participated in the Paris Olympics were still very nervous, and they also had a long closed training before leaving for Paris.
The closed training this time is extraordinary, the table tennis national team actually invited Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, and other previous Olympic champions to come to guide.
Originally, this was a good thing, reflecting the "passing on of the torch" in the mainland table tennis project, but many netizens had a lot of controversy about Deng Yaping's appearance.
The reason is very simple, that is, Deng Yaping has dominated the table tennis world for so many years, and she has won many honors, but at the same time, she has a lot of controversies, and these controversies once made many netizens feel that she is not patriotic.
So what is the controversy over Deng Yaping? And Deng Yaping, who has caused so much controversy, is she wronged or not?
In 1973, she was born in a table tennis family in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, she perfectly inherited her father's table tennis strength, and began to play table tennis at the age of 5.
And at a very young age, she played a national shock, in 1986, at the age of 13, she represented the Henan team to participate in the national championships, and even won the team and individual championships.
After this incident, the whole country knows that this small Henan girl is a "genius girl" in table tennis, and the follow-up story is naturally that she successfully joined the national team and began to shine in international competitions.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Deng Yaping won 4 gold medals in one fell swoop and became the world's "quadruple champion".
In 1996, after winning her first singles title in the first World Cup, she became the first "Grand Slam" winner in the history of world table tennis.
Seeing this, we should fully appreciate Deng Yaping's sports career that has always been at its peak, her sports career was basically filled with trophies and applause, and it did not cause any controversy.
In 1997, 24-year-old Deng Yaping announced her retirement, and since then, she has started her own journey of further study.
Then she started her entrepreneurial journey and also had her own small family, and it was these three major events that she completed after retiring that caused her a lot of controversy.
After retiring in 1997, Deng Yaping first received a bachelor's degree at Tsinghua University, and then went to the University of Nottingham and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where she received a master's degree and a doctorate.
It is said that Deng Yaping has changed from a table tennis player who can only 26 letters to a doctor of economics who can switch between English and Chinese at any time, and her experience is worth learning from everyone.
But in 2008, when she graduated from her doctorate, a photo of her kneeling to receive her graduation certificate went viral on the Internet.
In addition to this incident, the nationality of Deng Yaping's son has always been one of the reasons why netizens questioned her unpatriotism.
It turned out that Deng Yaping gave birth to her son Lin Hanming in a private hospital in France in 2006, and we all know that the general place of birth and nationality are linked.
Therefore, since Deng Yaping's son was born in France, the rumor that her son is a France has never disappeared, and Deng Yaping has not clarified this for the first time, so many people choose to believe the rumor.
Originally, these two controversies had caused Deng Yaping's reputation to drop a lot, but who knew that in 2010, Deng Yaping suddenly became the general manager of Instant Search.
When she first took office, there were many voices in the outside world who were not optimistic about her, but I didn't expect that only 3 years later, there were really rumors on the Internet that she had "lost the country by 2 billion".
Fortunately, the rumor was quickly refuted, and in the future, Deng Yaping mentioned this matter in an exclusive interview, and also gave a very powerful counterattack, bluntly saying that if there were really 2 billion at that time, she would definitely do the immediate search.
From Deng Yaping's explanation, it is not difficult for us to see that the controversial points on her are really non-existent, unbelievable, as if there is no evidence to support it, many netizens are also willing to believe those non-existent things.
For example, just based on a photo, she was suspected of being unpatriotic, and in 2018, Deng Yaping also responded to kneeling to receive her graduation certificate, bluntly saying that it was just a etiquette, and the person she knelt down to was just her college leader.
As for the nationality of Deng Yaping's son, it is also a bit groundless, but anyone who knows Deng Yaping knows that her husband Lin Zhigang was also a table tennis player before and also entered the national team.
After Lin Zhigang left the national team, he played table tennis for a period of time in a club in France in 1998, after which Lin Zhigang often stayed in France to work and play.
In 2006, when Deng Yaping was about to give birth, she chose to fly to France and gave birth to her son in a private hospital in France, not because she wanted her son to have France nationality.
She simply wanted her husband to witness the birth of her son for the first time, so her son Lin Hanming has been an upright Chinese since birth.
If it weren't for the fact that there were always netizens who didn't believe this, Deng Yaping would not have deliberately taken out her son's passport in 2019 to prove that she had always felt that "those who are clear are self-purifying", but the criticism on her body has not disappeared for a long time, forcing her to prove herself.
Seeing this, we completely know how ridiculous the controversial incidents on Deng Yaping are, without any evidence at all, they have already spread all over the city.
Fortunately, time has helped Deng Yaping prove that she has always been an excellent athlete who is patriotic and willing to contribute to the sports cause of the motherland.
Whether it is busy with Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, or in recent years, Deng Yaping has returned to her old profession and worked for the preparation of various sports, which has allowed us to witness her strength and influence in the sports world.
Coupled with her sports career, she has also created a lot of good results for the motherland's table tennis career, she is already a legend with these alone, and she may be misunderstood as something that every celebrity can't escape, but fortunately, Deng Yaping has survived.
