With the passage of time, the golden generation has retired one after another, bidding farewell to the national team, and persisting until the end is Chen Long and Zhang Nan, both of whom officially announced their retirement or semi-retirement status this year. Combined with the current national feather, many fans sighed that the Olympic Games created by the national feather that year won all 5 gold, which is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented, and the golden generation is gone.
