Unconsciously, Zhang Jike and Ding Ning left the stage of the stadium, Zhang Jike did not announce his retirement, but it was no different from retirement, and Ding Ning officially announced his retirement and went to Peking University for further study.
Both are table tennis Grand Slam winners, worthy of being a superstar of the times, and the retirement of the two is a loss to the world table tennis world and a damage to the national table tennis team.
No matter how strong the waves in the river are, there will be a time to return to the sea.
The clouds in the high heavens are no longer strange, and there are times when the rain returns to the earth.
No player can run non-stop on the field, because the years do not stop, and the manpower will eventually come and go.
Zhang Jike lost to injuries, while Ding Ning did not beat the time.
The arena is the battlefield, some people leave the field, and some people still hold out.
For example, Zhang Jike's good brother Ma Long still sticks to the field and has achieved the achievement of a double-lap Grand Slam in the table tennis world in 2021.
Liu Shiwen, who rose up at the same time as Ding Ning, also insisted on the field.
Even if the dream shatters the Tokyo Olympics, even if she misses the World Table Tennis Championships and the WTT World Cup, Liu Shiwen still does not flinch, she herself said that he will eventually return to the table in the best state.
Of the four, two retired and two stuck to the field.
They have worked together to support a brilliant era, and the four are the pride of the national table tennis team and the best in the hearts of fans.
With the departure of Zhang Jike and Ding Ning, in the future, it may be difficult to see a scene of four people standing on the same stage, so the pictures that have not been lost in those years sometimes become a treasure.
Around 2016, the national table tennis team won the honor of Weibo's annual popular sports team, and Liu Shiwen, Ding Ning, Zhang Jike and Ma Long received the award on the same stage.
Liu Shiwen wore a pink V-neck short-sleeved knee-length dress, with bare diamond high heels, the temperament was pure and beautiful; Ding Ning wore a black tight hip dress, the outer cover was black semi-transparent pleated gauze skirt, the gauze skirt just did not exceed the ankle, the feet stepped on white high heels, the long skirt sleeves were also semi-transparent, inlaid with silver edges, the sleeves were flared, and the sleeves of the flared mouth fell at the wrist, forming a silver shining fan, which was beautiful. Ding Ning's outfit makes her look like she has a royal sister Fan, which complements Liu Shiwen's pure cuteness.
Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning have their own beautiful temperament, while Zhang Jike and Ma Long interpret the handsomeness to the fullest. Malone is wearing a jacket, a pair of jeans, a pair of board shoes, a casual outfit, but what he brings is a full screen of handsomeness.
What about Zhang Jike? Wearing a turtleneck sweater, with a suit suit and leather shoes, this dress, worthy of the athletes who will enter the entertainment circle and take the idol route in the future, this figure, this temperament, this appearance, pinch to death.
Time is like a world apart, a flash, from the four people this group photo has passed several years, the four people have different choices, so the same stage and frame of the scene may be difficult again, but those good memories, so good years, but with the passage of time and weather, fade.
