Text/Editor: Look at Mr. Zhang
For many, becoming a World Champion is undoubtedly a path to the pinnacle of life.
But in the Chinese men's table tennis national team, there are several players who could have relied on their wealthy family background to live a carefree life.
However, they chose a more difficult path, in the table tennis arena, they use their strength to speak, and they use their results to prove themselves, so who are these people?
It's not easy to write, the author also writes articles at work in the company every day, works overtime until 12 o'clock in the evening every day, and the daily income is only more than 50 yuan, and the text is unlocked with 5 seconds of advertising, just to be able to earn a few more yuan, I hope I don't scold it, I hope the audience understands.
1. Liang Jingkun
Liang Jingkun, affectionately known as "Big Fat", is 28 years old this year, and he seems to be somewhat unknown in the star-studded men's table tennis team, and he often gives people the impression of being more introverted, a personality that contrasts sharply with his status as a super-rich second generation.
It is understood that Liang Jingkun's father, Liang Chunli, is a very successful businessman, serving as the chairman of Hebei Gemdale Coal Industry Co., Ltd., and is the legal representative of six companies and a shareholder of four companies.
Liang Jingkun showed extraordinary talent in the field of table tennis, starting to practice table tennis at the age of 5, joined the Hebei provincial team at the age of 11, and won the men's singles championship of the Hebei Youth Games at the age of 12.
At the age of 16, Liang Jingkun finally realized his dream of entering the first national table tennis team, and Liang Jingkun was highly recognized and focused on training by the coaching staff in the national team.
In 2014, in the "Straight to Tokyo" selection competition, he successively defeated Ma Long, Zhang Jike and other famous players, and gradually grew into one of the "Five Tigers" of men's table tennis.
After Wang Hao and other veterans retired, there were two vacancies in the national table tennis men's team, one of which was occupied by Fan Zhendong, and the competition for the other position was extremely fierce, which was between Liang Jingkun and Fang Bo at that time.
Although Liang Jingkun ultimately failed to defeat Fang Bo, who was 4 years older than him, in that competition, as Zhang Jike gradually faded out of the main layer, Liang Jingkun also surpassed Fang Bo and joined Lin Gaoyuan, who became famous in the strongest 12-person competition on the surface, to join the main layer.
This year, Liang Jingkun successfully won the men's singles championship at the Incheon Championships and was selected for the Olympic squad as a team P card (substitute) athlete.
In terms of personal life, Liang Jingkun and his beloved wife Xi Meili tied the knot in 2020, and the two have two sons.
Second, Wang Chuqin
Wang Chuqin, known as the "big head", is only 24 years old and has already made a name for himself in the table tennis world.
It is rumored on the Internet that his father Wang Chenguang is a well-known entrepreneur in Jilin and has founded a number of enterprises, including the famous domestic express company Bird Luck, and Wang Chuqin's mother is a beloved people's teacher.
Although Wang Chuqin seems quite low-key on weekdays, it is not difficult for netizens to find from his dress that his family background is by no means ordinary, and Wang Chuqin's daily outfits, including watches and other accessories, are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan at every turn.
Such a family environment gave Wang Chuqin great support materially, and his mother's companionship and education helped him shape a stable mentality.
As the youngest of the five main players in Chinese men's table tennis, Wang Chuqin is already ranked first in the world, he started training at the age of 5 and joined the national team at the age of 15.
After the Tokyo Olympics, his career ushered in explosive growth and quickly became the main player of the Chinese table tennis team.
At the Asian Games in Hangzhou, Wang Chuqin became a four-time gold champion and won the men's singles and mixed doubles titles at Grand Slam events in Singapore and Saudi Arabia.
He is currently ranked No. 1 in the world in men's singles, mixed doubles and men's doubles, and will compete in all three at the Paris Olympics, competing in men's singles, mixed doubles and men's team.
However, as the main player, Wang Chuqin's pressure in this Olympic Games can be imagined.
With the aura of "genius" and table tennis as the traditional strength of the Chinese team, he shouldered great expectations, although he won the mixed doubles event, he lost unexpectedly in the men's singles round of 32.
At the Paris Olympics this time, Wang Chuqin suffered an accident before the game, his main racket was accidentally stepped on, and he had to use the sub-racket to play, which may have been unsuitable for the sub-racket, which affected his state and led to the loss of the game.
For table tennis players, the importance of the main racket is self-evident, but Wang Chuqin did not use this as an excuse and admitted that the loss had nothing to do with the racket.
In order to prepare for the Olympic Games, Wang Chuqin put in a long time of hard work, but in the end there was a mistake due to mentality problems, and we also expect that in the next men's team competition, he can adjust his mentality as soon as possible and play his best.
3. Zhou Qihao
Zhou Qihao is 27 years old, he was born in a business family, and has lived in an environment rich in material conditions since he was a child.
He has been fond of table tennis since childhood, and he began to learn the sport at the age of 6 and was selected for the national team in 2012.
Before entering the national team, Zhou Qihao had already enjoyed the reputation of "table tennis prodigy" in the local and even Guangdong Province, but when he really stepped into the door of the national team, he realized that his so-called "genius" in the national team was only a starting point.
In 2014, Zhou Qihao officially became a member of the national first team, but Fan Zhendong, who was one year younger than him at that time, was already firmly in the main position of the men's team, and showed the potential to surpass the main Xu Xin in the singles competition.
In 2017, in the "Top 12 on the Surface" National Table Tennis Direct Trials, Zhou Qihao defeated Ma Long and became famous for a while.
However, with the rise of new stars such as Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, the main lineup of the men's team tends to be stable, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Zhou Qihao to enter the main layer.
After the Tokyo Olympics, with the rise of young players such as Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong, Zhou Qihao's opportunities have further diminished, and in many major tournaments, we can often see him as a sparring player, but his passion for table tennis has never waned.
In addition to Zhou Qihao, there are many players from wealthy backgrounds in the national team, such as 20-year-old Gu Ailing, 29-year-old Lin Gaoyuan, 30-year-old Chen Meng, etc.
Although they come from a wealthy family, they chose to achieve success in the field of table tennis through their own efforts, showing their love and dedication to the sport.
Netizens often joke that if they don't mix well, they will go back to inherit the family business, but for people who really have ambitions and dreams, "inheriting the family business" is not a denial and blow to their ability?
Here, we also hope that everyone can go beyond the starting point, choose to be positive, work hard in their favorite fields, strive to occupy a place in the industry, and realize their own values and dreams.
