When it comes to Chinese athletes with military status, everyone must be familiar with Liu Guoliang, Liu Yudong, Zheng Haixia, Wang Zhizhi, and so on, but Among them, Wang Zhizhi is a little different, his rank is lower than the previous ones, and even less than Li Nan'a's Jiang and others, so what is going on? Let's talk slowly, starting with Liu Guoliang, the chairman of the Table Tennis Association who has made great contributions to national table tennis
To say that Chinese table tennis can still stand on the top of the world today, the most important person to thank, is the current leader of Chinese table tennis "do not understand the fat man" Liu Guoliang, as the nineties of the last century, the most powerful player in the Chinese table tennis circle, Liu Guoliang in the athlete period has made incomparable brilliant achievements, after retiring from the national table tennis team with their own experience and wisdom, cultivated a large number of excellent players, for the development of China's table tennis cause, Liu Guoliang can be said to have achieved great merit.
Speaking of Liu Guoliang's identity, in addition to being the leader of the Chinese table tennis team, he is also a People's Liberation Army, when Liu Guoliang was only 10 years old, due to his excellent talent for table tennis, he was recruited into the Bayi team, when an interesting thing happened to him, Liu Guoliang, who had just arrived in Beijing, his father Liu Zhansheng was still a little uneasy, he came to Beijing to see the children, the two people in the Summer Palace, Liu Guoliang in military uniform was also stopped by two pickets, the pickets thought that Liu Guoliang was just a child, The military uniform he bought could not wear a military rank, and finally after checking Liu Guoliang's information, he learned that this little guy was actually his comrade-in-arms.
Liu Guoliang began to receive formal training at the age of 5, entered the Bayi team at the age of 10, successfully entered the national youth team at the age of 13, and at the age of 15, Liu Guoliang was also promoted to the national team by virtue of his outstanding performance, and successively won the mixed doubles championship of the Asian Cup and the Asian Championship, and won the double championship at a young age.
Since then, Liu Guoliang has also opened a personal brilliant professional resume, successively winning the Olympic Games, world championships, World Cup and other major competitions, and is the first player in the Chinese table tennis circle to win the Olympic Games, World Championships, world cups and World Cup Grand Slams. So what is Liu Guoliang's rank in the army, and how much can he get paid every month after retiring from the army?
Liu Guoliang and Liu Yudong in the army of the same level, both of them have reached the rank of colonel, this level Liu Guoliang can get a salary + allowance of about 25,000-30,000 yuan per month, about 350,000 to 400,000 yuan per year, which is Liu Guoliang, but also a return for decades.
Then in the Chinese sports world, in addition to Liu Guoliang Liu Yudong is a colonel rank, in addition to the Chinese women's basketball legend Zheng Haixia, the Chinese men's basketball celebrity Li Nan and Adi Jiang, all of whom are senior military ranks, all enjoy the treatment of the full division, speaking of Li Nan, another more accomplished Wang Zhizhi is not, he is a lieutenant colonel rank, enjoy the treatment of the regiment
So Liu Yudong Li Nan'a's Jiang is all a colonel rank, why is Wang Zhizhi only a lieutenant colonel? As we all know, Wang Zhizhi's contribution to the Chinese men's basketball team is definitely better than the top three, and even second only to Yao Ming, but this once had differences with the men's basketball national team, and even had differences with the Bayi team, so after the incident, with the support and promotion of Colonel Li Fusheng, the captain of the Bayi Engineering Brigade, Wang Zhizhi's military status and regimental-level treatment were retained, and the rank of lieutenant colonel was hung, if it were not for Li Fusheng, it is estimated that Wang Zhizhi's military membership would be difficult to retain!
However, at present, the military uniform for Liu Guoliang is already a thing of the past, in 2016, Liu Guoliang chose to change careers, unloaded his 30 years of military uniform, it can be said that Liu Guoliang won countless honors on behalf of the Bayi team, he also brought the strict attitude of the military to the national table tennis team, the Chinese table tennis team into an iron-blooded army, in various competitions continue to win glory for the country.
