Today we come to talk about Li Zongwei, Li Zongwei's honors include 3 Olympic silver medals + 3 world championship silver medals (14 years were cancelled, so it does not count) + 1 Asian Games silver medal + the longest first ranking + the most open champion. But when evaluating an athlete's historical status, these honors are add-ons, not hard metrics. Li Zongwei only has some problems when he moves with top masters. And I think he actually looked at it later in his career, as can be seen from the Rio Olympic final in 16 years.
Li Zongwei, who lost to Chen Long, was quite relieved at the time, in fact, his goal may only be to defeat Lin Dan in the semi-finals, even if he tried his best so hard that he did not have the energy to play three sets with Chen Long in the final. Li Zongwei once said that his country has not had a gold medal for decades, and this painful feeling Lin Dan cannot understand. This may have been a sentence at the time, but Li Zongwei as the hope of the whole village, it can be said that the pressure of the whole country is in front of him, Malaysia is badminton as the national ball, the fans are very crazy, up to the prime minister down to an ordinary person, it can be said that he is looking forward to him to win gold for Malaysia.
This huge expectation and the pressure of the people of the whole country are really terrifying for Li Zongwei. Therefore, Malaysian badminton often has the tradition of dropping the chain at key moments, not only his own problem, but also others. In my opinion, he is the saddest player in the entire history of badminton, and it seems that no one can stand it, from the resources of a small place in Malaysia, against the chinese national system of generations of athletes.
China badminton world badminton also thanks to Li Zongwei, because Of Li Zongwei, badminton has been pushed to an unprecedented height, badminton is not as big as table tennis, Lin Li duels several times, ornamental, feel very shocking, give the audience an unprecedented experience, but also give us the biggest meeting. Li Zongwei and Lin Dan are lucky to have each other, they are all winners, and we the audience are also lucky to have them. Li Zongwei is actually not a loser, because of his status in Malaysia, with the title of Datuk, the off-site business is also doing well, and Huang Miaozhu's wife is also happy for the whole family.
Li Zongwei is a bit of a Chinese cultural tradition, modest and introverted, when you are with him you will feel a feeling like drinking wine to dispel Prozac. Chen Luyu went to interview Li Zongwei and said that he felt that Li Zongwei's family was very happy, the old man, children and wife were very complete, and Li Zongwei's status in Malay was also very high, just like China's Liu Xiang Yao Ming. Li Zongwei not only touched Malaysians, but also touched the Chinese, this kind of continuous struggle, recently close to victory is always a little bit, and then continue to struggle, in fact, very much in line with the normal state of all sentient beings in our inward-rolled society.
As the greatest opponent of Lin Dan's life, Li Zongwei, the "uncrowned king" full of tragic colors, was shrouded in Lin Dan's shadow, and he also won 29 consecutive victories and 24 consecutive victories. I have to say that this is also a great miracle. Of course, compared to Lin Dan's 31 and 30 and 2 times 25, 24 times, it is slightly inferior. But I have to say that Li Zongwei as a brother in Malaysia is already good enough. And Li Zongwei's winning streak occurred before the Olympics, once before the London Olympics and once before the Rio Olympics. Unfortunately, they lost to Lin Dan and Chen Long in the Olympic Games.
The failure of each of us can always see ourselves in Li Zongwei's body, and it is not surprising that Li Zongwei can have a large number of fans in China. When it comes to inspirational idols in Malaysia, the first thing mentioned is Lee Zongwei's continuous struggle. Even if the white chickens in Chinese football can't win, it is also a good thing to be able to work hard like Li Zongwei every time. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we, the inward-involved, went to Malaysia or North Korea.
