In 1982, the Chinese women's tennis team went to Santa Clara, California, USA to compete in the Tennis Federation Cup. This is the second time that China's women's tennis team has played abroad since it restored its IOC status in 1979.
The four players participating in the competition are Yu Liqiao, Wang Ping, Li Yiyi and Hu Na.
If there is no accident, this time the women's network will get good results, but because of a decision by Hu Na, the women's network will be completely destroyed.
Hu Na, born in a sports family, began to learn tennis at the age of 4 and entered the Sichuan team early. At the age of 15, she won the national junior women's singles championship and at the age of 16, she won the national Group A women's singles championship. Then she won the Asian women's singles championship and got the opportunity to go to the United States.
At the end of 1979, the national team returned to the United States, and Hu Na was selected as a rookie to watch the US Open. Huna then played several junior tournaments in Mexico and the United States, winning the White House Cup and the Virginia Cup.
At this time, the United States began to write letters many times to invite the tennis association to train in the United States, and there was Hu Na in the list. Early foreshadowing for Hu Na's later decision.
In this 1982 match, in the first round, hu na, the first to appear, defeated Japan 2-0, and the Chinese team finally defeated Japan 3-0.
On July 21, China played against Germany.
The accident occurred, the coach and team members looked for Hu Na at breakfast, and the Chinese team with one less person lost 0-3 to the German team.
And where did HuNa go? She chose America! On the same day, Hu Na called the organizing committee through her lawyer and said that she was safe and had sought political asylum.
In this way, Hu Na abandoned her motherland and turned to the United States.
Some coaches, players because of Hu Na, have since left the national team, leaving the game of tennis they love.
After Hu Na chose the United States, after a period of rest, starting from the satellite competition, in 1984 ushered in her first Grand Slam - the US Open.
In 1985, Huna reached the third round at Wimbledon; subsequently, Huna reached the second round at the US Open and stood on Centre Court as she wished.
In her 8-year career, she played in 16 Grand Slam tournaments. In early 1992, he retired due to injury.
Years later, when asked by a reporter about the "defection" at that time, Hu Na said: "I just want to become a professional tennis player too much." In 1979, after I watched the famous player Evert play at Wimbledon Centre Court, I had a strong dream that I would have to stand on Centre Court to represent China. I was too young, too simple, too immature. ”
She blamed all the blame on the young and ignorant, and how many people would approve of such a reason?
No matter how young and crazy a person is, he should know where he was born and who cultivated her. Being able to ignore the honor of the country, disappear without any warning on the day of the game, and let the country suffer such a loss, is not something that a young and crazy person can do.
After retiring from the army, Hu Na lived in the United States for many years, then moved to Taiwan, and then returned to Beijing as a commentator on the China Net, and returned to China to collect gold.
Unfortunately, Hu Na has since transformed into a painter, and in November 2014, she and her friends opened a joint exhibition in Beijing.
Huna, as if completely forgetting what she had done, owed many people an apology.
