Late at night on October 23, Beijing time, Chinese snooker athlete Mei Xiwen, who is now ranked 63rd in the world, aimed at individual self-media articles [Official Announcement!] Two of China's biggest snooker players suspended their professional qualifications, one of whom defeated O'Sullivan], and made a rare voice on personal social platforms, the original text is as follows:
Due to the epidemic and family reasons, I did not participate in the recent events of this year's World Taiwan Federation, and I was not officially suspended from professional qualifications. I hope that all media friends will uphold a serious and responsible attitude to protect the players and the hard-won achievements of domestic snooker, and jointly make their own contributions to the development of Chinese sports!
You should know that Mei Xiwen's most recent Weibo is still the "Hubei refueling, Macheng refueling!" issued during the epidemic in February! Now that Mehi has been forced to personally refute the rumors, it can be seen that such "so-called official announcements" rumors should have had a certain degree of impact on it.
On October 21, the official website of the World Snooker Tour (WST) published an article titled "MEI and Zhang PONDER FUTURE", which began with the following: "Chinese players Mei Xiwen and Zhang Anda have both put their snooker careers on hold while they take time at." home. (Chinese players Mei Xiwen and Zhang Anda put their careers on hold when they were resting at home)".
It is such a sentence that was interpreted by some self-media as "suspension of professional qualifications" on October 22 and released under the name of "official announcement". In fact, friends familiar with snooker know that Zhang Anda has been relegated in advance before the start of this year's World Championships due to giving up the World Championships at the beginning of this year, and Dazai, who has lost his professional qualifications, cannot talk about "suspended professional qualifications" at all, and Mei Xiwen's world ranking has remained in the top 64 in the world, since the start of the new season, like the other two Chinese players Fu Jiajun and Browning, he has not signed up to participate in the competition, and has not been suspended by the WST.
The WST's latest article also did not mention the "suspension of professional qualifications", but instead revealed that Mei Xiwen intends to resume his career, but has not yet decided when to return to the UK, and Zhang Anda intends to seek the opportunity to return to professional competition in the 2021 Q SCHOOL Professional Selection Tournament.
In this regard, some netizens said: In the ordinary daily life report article on the official website, Meixiwen and Zhanganda put their career on hold, stepping on how many self-media tails that look hilarious are not big, in the end, how important it is to learn English.
In fact, if it is really a problem of translation, it can be understood, but if it has an ulterior motive, it is a bit too much to make a profit for yourself and cause unnecessary trouble to others. It is hoped that Mei Xiwen's appeal will be echoed by the media, especially the self-media.
