At the Paris Olympics just past, our table tennis player Fan Zhendong finally realized his dream of the Grand Slam and added glory to Chinese sports.
And in the afterglow of this joy, the 27-year-old came another exciting good news.
Recently, the Shanghai Sports Bureau held a commendation meeting for the Paris Olympic Games, and Fan Zhendong was rewarded for his great contribution to winning two gold medals in the Olympic Games.
This is no ordinary honor, it means that Fan Zhendong has climbed to a new peak in his career as an athlete.
Remembering great merit, these three words seem ordinary, but they contain incomparably rich weight.
It is not only a piece of recognition, but also an all-round guarantee for the athlete's career. Medical care, wages, benefits, retirement placement, these problems that once worried the athletes, are easily solved in the face of this honor.
I can't help but think of Fan Zhendong's parents.
As parents of athletes, they must have worried about their son's future. After all, the career of an athlete is often short and intense, and the quality of life after retirement affects the heart of every parent.
And today, Fan Zhendong has not only won honor for the country with his own efforts and sweat, but also won a bright future for himself, which is undoubtedly the best gift to his parents.
Fan Zhendong's success has shown us the vigorous development of China's sports industry, as well as the country's attention and care for outstanding athletes.
This is not only an affirmation of Fan Zhendong personally, but also a tribute to the sportsmanship of the whole China. It sends a clear message to all the young athletes who are struggling: as long as you are good enough, the country will give you the best stage and the strongest backing.
Behind this good news, we also have to thank one person in particular, that is, Wang Liqin, a famous national table tennis player.
As the director of the Shanghai Athletic Training Management Center, Wang Liqin lent a helping hand to Fan Zhendong when he was faced with a life choice, and finally contributed to the happy event of Fan Zhendong joining the Shanghai Sports Bureau.
This reminds me of an old saying: "The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade." "
Wang Liqin used his wisdom and experience to pave a broad road for Fan Zhendong.
This spirit of passing on the torch from generation to generation is the source of power for China's sports industry.
What's even more gratifying is that Fan Zhendong seems to have begun to plan for his future.
He not only became a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Youth Federation and the deputy director of the sports sector, but is more likely to follow in Wang Liqin's footsteps and gradually embark on a career in office. From the arena to the office, Fan Zhendong's life is undergoing a gorgeous turn.
This reminds me of a famous saying: "A person's success is not about how high he can climb, but how much he can pave the way for future generations." "
Fan Zhendong is continuing the glorious tradition of Chinese table tennis in his own way and contributing to the future of the sport.
Looking back on Fan Zhendong's growth process, from a young boy to an Olympic champion, and then to a sports administrator, he completed his Grand Slam dream in 8 years, and completed an important turning point in his life in just a few years.
This reminds me of a quote he once said, "Learn to enjoy solitude and enjoy being reconciled with yourself." "
This sentence may be the secret of Fan Zhendong's achievements at the age of 27.
Staying calm in the heat of competition, persevering in solitary training, and making the right choices at the crossroads of life all require a strong heart and self-awareness.
I believe that in the near future, we will see more sports stars like Fan Zhendong win glory for the country on the field and contribute to the sports cause off the field.
This is the charm of Chinese sports, and this is the future of our country!
