He is the "cowhide candy" of the feather altar, once lost to an 11-year-old girl, and Indonesia's national treasures are subservient

At the 2016 Thomas Cup knockout match in Kunshan last night, the Chinese men's badminton team regrettably stopped in the quarterfinals. Chen Long lost to Sun Wanhu in the first battle, Fu Haifeng/ Zhang Nan wasted 3 match points to lose to Li Longda / Liu Yanxing, Lin Dan won the third game to no avail, and finally the Chinese team lost 1-3 to the South Korean team and was eliminated, and for the first time in the history of the Tang Cup, it missed the final four.
The Chinese men's team used this defeat to create its worst result since participating in the Thomas Cup in 1982. The Chinese team has played in the Soup Cup 17 times and won 8 championships, 2 runners-up and 6 third places, but has never failed to reach the final four. This champion with a glorious history suffered a "Waterloo" on its doorstep, creating the worst record in history in 34 years.
This can't help but remind the old badminton fans of the first time the Chinese team participated in the Thomas Cup in 1982, the Chinese team led by Han Jian and Luan Jin defeated the Indonesian team that was unimaginable to you at that time with 5-4 inches in the final, so that the invincible Lin Shuijing and Liang Hailiang lowered their proud heads, and the Chinese team for the first time won the trophy that symbolized the highest level of the world's badminton men's team.
Han Jian, who defeated Indonesia's "Emperor Superstar" Lin Shuijing and scored two points in the competition, defeated eight-time All England champion Liang Massive Luan Jin, making great contributions to the Chinese team's first victory over the Thomas Cup, and they suddenly became heroes in the hearts of the Chinese people!
Born in July 1956 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, Han Jian is only 1.69 meters tall, and if he aims according to the current selection of materials, I am afraid that Han Jian will not have a chance with badminton. In 1972, Han Jian was selected for the Liaoning Provincial Team and entered the national badminton team in 1977.
In the seven years that began in 1979, Han Jian won the world championship seven times, an average of one per year. Han Jian and Luan Jin were known as the "Gemini Constellations" of China's badminton in the early 1980s, and made great contributions to the Chinese men's team's conquest of the world badminton. Han Jian, along with Luan Jin, Lin Shuijing, and Prakash, was also known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the World Feather At that time.
When he first entered the provincial team, Han Jian actually lost 0-2 to an 11-year-old girl. This is a great shame for Han Jian, since then he has trained harder, paid the price and sweat that ordinary people can't imagine, and finally practiced his own unique playing style and genre, defeated several of the world's top badminton masters, and become a popular figure in the world's world badminton.
Flexible footwork, agile response, defensive and offensive, tough and soft playing style characteristics, this is Han Jian's unique style and genre. He is good at using control to land, defending the middle of the counterattack, attacking from behind, good at fighting a "protracted war", and has a good psychological quality.
In the competition, often with indomitable toughness and endurance, not impatient, steady and agile to "stick" the other party, and step by step to drag the other party to defeat, so that many of the world's outstanding players feel headaches, known as the world's famous "brown candy".
At that time, when there were few television sets, it was definitely a pleasure to sit in front of the TV set and watch a live badminton game, and if you were lucky enough to see Han Jian's game, it was even more of a luxury, because Han Jian had many rounds, strong ornamentation, and gripping.
Han Jian, who participated in the soup cup for the first time, sacrificed his famous stunt - dragging down Indonesia's "national treasure" and "emperor superstar" Lin Shuijing with the "brown candy" tactic, and winning a valuable point for the Chinese team. Since then, he has used the "cowhide candy" tactic to stand alone in the world feathering world, defeating one world-recognized master after another, and winning one supreme honor after another.
In June 1985, in the final of the 4th World Badminton Championships, Han Jian defeated Frost, who is recognized as the "world king" of Denmark, to win the men's singles championship, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win the men's singles championship at the World Championships. In the same year, he won the men's singles title in the FIB year-end finals. In 1986, he and his teammates regained the Thomas Cup.
At the end of 1986, Han Jian retired from the auction. In 1989, Han Jian had hoped to compete for the position of head coach of the national team, but at that time, his defensive style of play was controversial in China, and for other reasons, he eventually lost the election. After that, he was hired by the Malaysian national team and became the first badminton coach to coach abroad in the new era.
In 1990, Han Jian led the Malaysian team to the second place in the Thomas Cup. In 1992, in the semi-finals of the 17th Thomas Cup held in Malaysia, Han Jian led the Malaysian men's team to eliminate the Chinese men's team, and defeated the Indonesian men's team in the final to win the Thomas Cup for the first time.
For his great contribution to the badminton cause in Malaysia, Han Jian was awarded the title of National Warrior by the Sultan of Malaysia. In 2004, the Malaysian government granted Han Jian permanent residency in Malaysia.
