Recently, the national table tennis can be described as a series of wars, just won 4 trophies at the World Table Tennis Championships, and then flew to Singapore non-stop to participate in the World Cup men's and women's singles events organized by the International Table Tennis Federation there.
Similarly, Ding Ning, who officially announced his retirement after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, although he no longer has to face the competition on the field, he is busy with his new life. She has entered Peking University to study, and was recently selected by Peking University as a candidate for the "2021 Peking University Student of the Year".
The school believes that Ding Ning not only has made great achievements in table tennis, but also is enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings: as the former captain of the national table tennis women's team, she is not only a "full slam" player, but also won many national honors such as "China's Top Ten Post-90s Figures", serving as a representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and a member of the All-China Youth Federation. The "Ding Dong Charity Walk" charity project initiated by her has been sending love to children in mountainous areas for 5 years.

Indeed, Ding Ning, who took off her battle robe, can be called a winner in life, and she has played an exemplary role in all aspects. And in its own image change is also amazing, the "tomboy" of the athlete period is gone, and now Ding Ning, who has long hair and delicate makeup, has become a temperament beauty. That kind of successful dashing is the beauty of self-confidence that emanates from the inside out. Ending his sports career at the right time and becoming a "Grand Slam" player remembered by history, Ding Ning's consummation seems to be a matter of course.
In contrast, Liu Shiwen, who was once Ding Ning's women's doubles partner and is also similar in age, is still fighting for the sport of table tennis. In fact, as the only female player to win the World Cup 5 times, the Geist Cup has also engraved her own name of "Xiao Zao", which can definitely be called one of the legends of national table tennis, compared with Ding Ning, she is almost in the Olympic Games to prove her strength, it seems to be just a singles gold medal problem, but has been pestering Liu Shiwen.
The two have cooperated countless times, and have also stood as competitors in the net, you can say that in terms of gold content, the World Cup is smaller than the World Table Tennis Championships and less than the Olympic Games, and Ding Ning has a stronger ability to seize opportunities than Liu Shiwen. But an important watershed in their sports careers, the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships in May 2015, unexpectedly and objectively became a fate-changing node.

In that women's singles final, the first 6 sets were equally divided between the two sides, and in the key decider, Liu Shiwen came up to take a 2-0 lead. But after Ding Ning fell to the ground in the save and applied for a medical suspension of up to 10 minutes, the momentum fell to Ding Ning's side. With the cheers of sympathy and injury on the spot, Ding Ning magically won Liu Shiwen with a drum and won the women's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships for the second time. And some ignorant "little jujube" did not expect that his fate with the Gest Cup would reach 2019.
After the game, some media pointed out that Ding Ning's injury at that time was not serious, and the injury could not reach the level of medical suspension, in order to win the championship, the eight-faced Ding Ning "will" the honest "little jujube" army! This "fraud" became a suspense case, but Ding Ning still gained the nickname of "Ding Chunqiu", and many fans began to turn to support Liu Shiwen.
After that, Ding Ning successfully completed the great cause of "Grand Slam", while Liu Shiwen has always been concerned about the women's singles qualification of the Olympic Games, and has been entangled in this and has become her biggest knot. Therefore, she struggled to reach the top of Budapest; so, when the pace of the Tokyo Olympic Games was late, when the question of who to choose to singles, in the outside world and internal debates in the national table tennis, "Xiao Zao" still resolutely withstood the pressure, on the mixed doubles, she wanted to prove that she can still take on the big responsibility.
However, there are unfair fates, the final of the East Olympic Mixed Doubles, Liu Shiwen has been strong enough, if you have to say where the problem is, I feel that Xu Xin should be more responsible.
As a result, Liu Shiwen doesn't actually need to prove anything more, although her career may have regrets, although compared to her teammates of the same era, it seems to be a poor Olympic gold medal. But in life, everyone has a different path to face, take every step of their own, the scenery is different, that is also the arrangement of fate.
