On September 12, in the men's singles 1/8 finals of the WTT Macau Championships, Lin Shidong and Zhang Benzhihe jointly staged a wonderful five-game battle, and finally Lin Shidong won 3-2.
During this period, many female fans "cheered for Zhang Ben". After the game, I posted an article questioning and criticizing the practices of female fans.
Later, I was ridiculed and reproached by many fellow "female fans", who said to them in a weird way, "What gods to worship is people's business, what is your foreigner's business", "Don't let them come to China to compete", "For the sake of traffic", "It's too stingy", "Sports have no borders"...... I laughed at all these similar remarks.
But if someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to mess with the rhythm, it is still necessary for me to clarify one or two in time.
1. Is it because Tomokazu Zhangmoto is a Japan player that he doesn't want domestic fans to cheer him on?
Not.
From Zhang Benzhihe's debut, to his successive victories over the main force of national table tennis, many people in China scolded him as "X traitor X thief", why not play for the Chinese team? I have cleared up misunderstandings for him more than once: Zhang Benzhi and his parents became naturalized Japan first, he himself was born and raised in Japan, he is a native of Japan, and he has no problems playing for the Japan team. He has nothing to do with "X traitor" at all, because he has never been a Chinese at all, how can he say that "X traitor sells X thief"?
Therefore, for Zhang Benzhihe's emergence in the world table tennis arena, most domestic fans are like me, and they are happy to see it.
There will be one more rival in the national table tennis future, and the table tennis competition will become more and more interesting in the future. It is true that Zhang Benzhihe almost won the national table tennis men's single Miao Fan Zhendong in the Paris Olympics, which really made domestic fans nervous.
In the women's singles 1/4 finals between Wang Yidi and Miyu Kihara, there were also fans cheering for Miyu Kihara, which I think is normal.
Miyu Kihara, this girl smiles all day long, and she speaks Chinese well, which is quite likable. She is currently ranked 28th in the world in women's singles, and in the Japan women's team, she will also be ranked behind Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, Misei Ito, Miu Hirano, Satsuki Oto, and Miyu Nagasaki, and to be honest, I hope she can make it to the top three of the Japan women's team, or even the top ten in the world.
Therefore, some people want to label me as "domestic fans are not allowed to cheer for players from foreign associations", and I will definitely not accept it.
2. Some people try in vain to blame "cheering for Zhang Ben" on "Lin Shidong is not likable".
Lin Shidong, as a leader of the new generation of national table tennis players, has not debuted for a few years, and is only 19 years old this year. He is good-looking, not a "little fresh meat" in the modern sense, and it is normal for some people not to like him.
But if he wants to use this as an excuse to "cheer for Zhang Ben", he vainly tries to transfer the problem of Chinese people hating Zhang Benzhihe to Lin Shidong, and his heart can be punished.
3. The behavior of female fans "cheering for Zhang Ben" has been questioned, what is the point?
In the men's singles 1/4 finals between Lin Shidong and Lin Yunru, there were also people cheering for Lin Yunru on the spot, why can we look at it normally? In addition to feeling that Lin Yunru is his own person, the point is that Lin Yunru did not go to "worship ghosts", but Zhang Benzhihe went to "worship ghosts". According to the host of the show at the time, it was not the first time that Zhang Benzhi and "worshipping ghosts" had been.
There are also people who vainly attempt to whitewash Zhang Benzhihe, believing that he is not worshipping the "Yasukuni Shrine" but only going to the "Dongxiang Shrine" to "pray for blessings." This is completely unreasonable and quibble.
Does anyone think that Japan invaded China only in the "14th year of China's War of Resistance"? From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China, when did Japan stop encroaching on the Chinese nation in the past 100 years? Heihachiro Togo, who is enshrined at the "Togo Shrine", is one of the "officially certified" war criminals, and there are still people trying to clear his name, which is probably the bigger problem.
"Ghost worship" touches the bottom line of a conscientious Chinese, whether he is a Japanese athlete, a Japanese politician, or anyone who goes to "worship ghosts", he must be condemned and criticized by the Chinese, and this is the point.
As for any other malicious slander or speculation about the intention of my post, and any other remarks that are rhythmic, they are just a means of confusing the public.
