After 18 months of silence, he sent his blessings to Fan Zhendong to realize his dream of Paris.

Zhang Jike, how many people's blood has been boiled by this name! 445 days of the fastest Grand Slam, 6 years with 7 needles closed, 13 with closed needles to bear the risk of being in a wheelchair for the next life... Behind these figures, there is a passionate legend of a ping-pong boy who won glory for the country. But who would have thought that the high-spirited "dragon slaying boy" in the past has now become a "difficult to peace" that everyone sighs about?
After Fan Zhendong won the championship, Zhang Jike's voice was simply a stab in the heart! Those days that he had been a fan of countless times, those moments of cheering for him, instantly surged into my heart and made people cry. Yes, once upon a time, his domineering nickname of "Tibetan Mastiff", the "Overlord Twist" that frightened opponents, and the ruthlessness of "I just want to beat you until you doubt your life", which is not the existence that makes the Chinese people raise their eyebrows?
But now? Is Zhang Jike going to be the "Emperor of Prophecy"? "Strength is the mainstay, prophecy is supplemented", but then again, I can not forget to cheer for my junior brother on the cusp of the storm, and this friendship is sincere and moving.
Zhang Jike, Zhang Jike, what kind of person are you? Some people say that you are the rich color of national table tennis, and some people scold you for being a degenerate idol. Are you a hero who fought for your country, or a negative lesson that went astray? Are you a deplorable genius, or a forgotten past? Behind these controversies is the public's complex emotional projection of sports stars.
From genius to controversy, what has Zhang Jike experienced?
Zhang Jike's rise is a myth. In 2012, at the age of his early 20s, he swept the world and achieved a miracle of completing a Grand Slam in 445 days. At that time, he was simply synonymous with "table tennis fighter"! Domineering and exposed, comprehensive technology, and never soft on key balls, he can be called a new generation leader of national table tennis.
But who would have thought that it would be so fragile under the halo. Injury troubles, ups and downs, public opinion pressure... Zhang Jike's career has not been smooth. Especially in recent years, all kinds of negative news have followed, what gambling debt disputes, private life chaos, it really responds to the sentence "the tree falls and the grass is scattered".
From a national idol to notoriety, Zhang Jike has fallen too fast, right? On the one hand, there is the glory of the past, and on the other hand, there are doubts about the present, this contrast is really embarrassing. Don't forget, for the sake of national honor, he didn't hesitate to take half of his life! At that time, who didn't say that he was a "national warrior"?
Why are public sentiments so mixed?
Zhang Jike's experience actually reflects our complex psychology of sports stars. On the one hand, we hope that they can become perfect idols, win glory for the country, and have noble morals; On the other hand, we forget that they are also ordinary people, who will have seven emotions and six desires, and will make mistakes.
This ambivalence is vividly reflected in Zhang Jike. Some people are bitter about him, and hate iron but not steel; Some people still defend him, remembering his past exploits. Interestingly, behind both criticism and support is a deep sense of loss. As if to say, "Our hero, how can this be?"
In fact, isn't Zhang Jike's experience also a mirror? It reflects our high expectations of sports stars, and also reflects the double standards and anger in the field of public opinion. When a person falls from the altar, shouldn't we be more understanding and tolerant, and less moral kidnapping and cyberbullying?
How to open the "second spring" of sports stars?
Zhang Jike is now coaching at the club, which may be a good way out. Although it is not as beautiful as it was back then, it is also a matter of great merit to be able to cultivate future table tennis seeds for the motherland! Besides, who said that celebrities have to live in the spotlight? Fade out is not a relief.
But then again, if Zhang Jike really wants to "make a comeback", it is not without a chance. The key is to sincerely reflect and face the mistakes of the past with sincerity. The public is actually very tolerant, as long as you are willing to change, who can keep holding on? Besides, the talents cultivated by national table tennis for so many years can't be wasted, right?
In any case, I hope that Zhang Jike can find his original intention and regain his ambition and pride to win glory for the country. After all, Zhang Jike, who shouted and roared on the field and dedicated himself to the country, is the brightest star in our minds!
