In recent years, Japan's table tennis strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and in some competitions it can even beat Chinese players. Among the many young Japanese players, Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei and two siblings have attracted much attention, on the one hand, they are talented, on the other hand, because their mother Zhang Ling was once a national player and also made teammates with Deng Yaping.
It is reported that Zhang Ling has officially changed her name to Zhang Benling and joined the coaching staff of the Japanese national table tennis team, which also means that she has officially entered the Japanese nationality. In fact, their family has been living in Japan for a long time, her husband and two children are already Japanese nationals, but Zhang Ling herself has refused to join the Japanese nationality many times, she is more repulsive in her heart, when Zhang Benzhihe was naturalized, she also cried bitterly. However, her persistence has been defeated by reality, and now her new name is Zhang Benling, which seems to be used to show that she has not forgotten ben, but their family has indeed become an authentic Japanese family, which is inevitably ironic.
On the surface, Zhang Ling's behavior before and after contradicts themselves, but if you look at it in detail, you can also understand the behavior of their family, and the ultimate purpose is to have a better development of the two children. At first, Zhang Ling did not play a famous role in the national team and wanted to train her two children to become excellent athletes, but she knew that domestic competition was fierce, so she chose to go to Japan. And now she herself has joined the Japanese nationality, not only for a better life in Japan, but also for Zhang Benzhihe and Zhang Benmei and the two to have a better development.
Both are currently young players in the Japanese table tennis industry, and Zhang Ling's joining the coaching staff will certainly greatly promote the development of the two. In history, there have also been many domestic table tennis players who have developed abroad, but most of them have not been taken seriously, and now zhang Ben's family has gained a firm foothold in Japan, which is also very difficult.
