On January 15, 2022, Beijing time, the World Federation of Taiwan Officially announced the punishment results of veteran Peter Lanes, although it was only a fine, but it also played a warning role. Peter Lanes insulted the Chinese player Xiao Guodong, causing great controversy, and not long after the official announcement of the handling results, Xiao Guodong made an official response, with only 12 words: Thank you for the fair and just handling of the World Taiwan Federation.
Peter Lanes is a mediocre veteran, but he has recently become the focus of attention for three main reasons. First, Peter Lanes lost his mind after the match with Xiao Guodong and ran to the lounge to insult Xiao Guodong, who immediately appealed to the official, causing an uproar. Secondly, Peter Lanes played against Zhao Xintong in the British Championship, and although he lost the game, he created some trouble for Zhao Xintong.
Third, in the previously concluded Elder England Championship, Peter Lanes stood out and won the championship in one fell swoop. Today's Peter Lanes is not too competitive in the professional arena, and if he wants to win the championship, he may only be able to compete at the senior level. Peter Lanes, who won the championship, was so excited that not only did he have the prize money in his account, he also brought his family to the scene to share this joyful moment with him.
However, many Chinese fans have raised questions after Peter Lanes won the championship, Xiao Guodong has been appealing for a long time, why has not the official announcement of the results of the treatment? Maybe this matter should be handled in a low-key manner? Of course not! Just a few days ago, the World Federation of Taiwan Affairs officially announced the results of the treatment, Peter Lanes violated the Rules of Membership of the World Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, the evidence is conclusive, but considering Peter Lanes' earlier apology to Mr. Xiao Guodong and his flawless career, he was only fined in the end.
As for whether Peter Lanes took the initiative to apologize to Xiao Guodong, and whether Xiao Guodong accepted the apology, these are not important at present, because the facts are clear and Xiao Guodong did not make a mistake. Not long after the official announcement of the handling results, Xiao Guodong also formally responded, with only one sentence: Thank you for the fair and just handling of the World Taiwan Federation.
In the future, Xiao Guodong and Peter Lanes may still meet in the game, and for both sides, returning to the game level may be the most important. But Xiao Guodong also set an example for all Chinese players, it is not easy to compete overseas, if they are insulted or denigrated by their opponents, Chinese players cannot remain silent, and they must solve the problem in the most reasonable way, that is, submit it to the official to deal with. In the face of the insults of his opponents, Xiao Guodong still remained calm, which was indeed praised.
Looking back at this matter, we really should give more support to Chinese players, who have been playing in the UK for a long time, facing more difficulties than we imagined, and may have good and bad results, and once they play poorly, fans should also understand more!
