She entered the national team at the age of 17 and won the world championship in her debut on the international stage, but she became a Japanese citizen at her peak, and after defeating the big devil Deng Yaping, she shouted and protested, now thirty years have passed How is He Zhili now? Was there any other hidden secret behind her departure abroad?
As a Chinese but joined the Japanese nationality of the table tennis player is the most famous is Zhang Benzhihe, in the World Table Tennis Championships last month successively defeated the national team main force Wang Chuqin Fan Zhendong, coupled with a particularly loud voice made many viewers impressed, many people mentioned that he is slightly rejected in addition to the nationality issue but also his strength to threaten the national table tennis, in fact, Zhang Benzhihe before He Zhili is also in the same situation, but unlike Zhang Benzhihe grew up in Japan, He Zhili left Japan after winning the national championship Asian Championship and World Champion all the way in China, and maintaining a record of world No. 1 for a long time.
No one thought that the root cause of such a sports genius was a World Table Tennis Championships gold medal, so how is He Zhili doing now? In 1987, China's He Zhili won the final singles gold medal at the 39th World Table Tennis Championships, but her teammates had no one to celebrate her, and the coach even released cruel words to let her return to China to accept punishment. Thirty years ago, Chinese table tennis won a lot of honors in the international arena, in order to increase the winning rate, many coaches will arrange the court according to the physical and mental state of each athlete, try to keep players in better shape to win the championship, to put it bluntly, it is to hand the ball.
For example, team A and team B meet in the semifinals and team A team members win more against external players, the coach will ask team B to lose to team A miserably, so that team A will maintain better physical strength against external players, now it seems that this system has great drawbacks, but at that time many players were the beneficiaries of the handicap system, even He Zhili himself also ate the dividends of handicap, in the 1987 World Table Tennis Championships eight into four matches, Chen Jing was signaled to give the ball to He Zhili, But when He Zhili herself needed to give the ball to her teammates, she felt very unfair.
In the 1987 World Championships, the team only reported her for a singles match, in the semifinals He Zhili and teammate Guan Jianhua met, according to coach Li Furong's instructions He Zhili to give the ball to Guan Jianhua, because Guan Jianhua is a chipper against a foreign player with a greater winning rate, and He Zhili, who received the instruction, agreed on the surface, but after landing on the court, he directly sent Guan Jianhua out 3-0, and at the end of the first game between the two, Li Furong shouted from the guidance seat outside the court to signal He Zhili to give the ball, But the iron-hearted He Zhili was bent on taking a medal to prove that she did not give Guan Jianhua any face, just at this time, Dai Lili in the second half of the region regretted defeating South Korea's Liang Yingzi, and in the final, He Zhili easily swept Liang Yingzi 3-0 to win the championship, but no one on the court applauded, because He Zhili broke the unspoken rule of handing the ball The coaching staff was very angry, thinking that He Zhili was risking with national honor.
After returning to China, the coaching staff issued an ultimatum to He Zhili, not only asked her to write a thousand-word review but also erased her from the list of the 1988 Olympic Games, which made He Zhili, who was ranked number one in the world, how to endure, after determining that he would not be able to participate in the Olympic Games, He Zhili decided to quit the national team the next year and announced his retirement, went to Japan to hold a wedding with her boyfriend Hideyuki Oyama and changed her name to Chili Oyama, after the formation of the Quanzhou Table Tennis Club in Japan in 1991, the former world champion Chili Koyama was invited to become a player and coached part-time to guide other players, Hearing this news, the whole country of Japan celebrated that even the Japanese emperor came to the club to inspect, and soon after resuming training, Tomoyi Oyama began to return to compete, in 1994 Hiroshima hosted the 12th Asian Games, Tomori Oyama defeated his former teammate Chen Jing Qiaohong on behalf of the Japanese team, and with the blessing of the home court, He Zhili defeated Deng Yaping, the first generation of national table tennis, in the women's singles final.
In the middle of the game, He Zhili became more and more excited to shout every point he won, which seemed to vent the complaints about the national table tennis in his heart, after the game, many well-known domestic media reported He Zhili's behavior, causing many fans to be dissatisfied with He Zhili and directly called her a traitor to the national table tennis team, but Japan regarded He Zhili as a guest, everyone praised her for winning the first Asian Games women's singles gold medal in 38 years for the Japanese team, and even the Japanese emperor also received this "hero", but He Zhili, who was in a wind together, did not be proud for too long, In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, He Zhili suffered a huge crisis, and was eliminated 3-0 by national table tennis player Qiao Hong on the field, and her husband Hideyuki Koyama also cheated on a 20-year-old female player during He Zhili's competition in Atlanta.
It turns out that He Zhili often neglects her husband because she concentrates on table tennis, and she is not willing to give birth to a child for her husband, coupled with He Zhili's hot temper and is not accustomed to the euphemism of the Japanese, the husband and wife often have conflicts, every time she quarrels with her husband Hideyuki Koyama, she will say that if he did not marry He Zhili, how could He Zhili have today's achievements The Japanese emperor would not be able to receive her, it can be said that in the eyes of Hideyuki Oyama or the Japanese, they have never regarded He Zhili as a real Japanese, Every time He Zhili went out to compete, his husband would take his lover home to live, lying on He Zhili's bed at will, He Zhili's in-laws not only did not persuade their son but also helped to hide He Zhili together, but the paper could not contain the fire after all.
After the Atlanta Olympics, He Zhili learned from her colleagues that her husband cheated on the young players of the club, and after a quarrel, He Zhili decisively moved out of Hideyuki Oyama's house, but even if their marriage has come to an end, Hideyuki Koyama is not willing to divorce, because He Zhili brings too much honor and money to their family, if He Zhili divorces, it will definitely take away most of the property, so the two quarreled for four years and dragged on for four years, knowing that in 2000 He Zhili sued the court for formal divorce. In terms of property division, He Zhili only received 6.5 million yen, a total of 320,000 yuan, although this money was a huge amount 20 years ago, but as a top athlete, He Zhili earned at least ten times the compensation during the ten years of their marriage, which could not help but make He Zhili feel that Koyama Hideyuki was cheating on marriage in the first place.
After completely cutting off the grudge with her ex-husband, He Zhili began to concentrate on table tennis, but she was often swept by young players on the field after her peak was over, and after no match bonus income, He Zhili's income fell off a cliff, until 2004, she saved a total of 40 million yen and 2 million yuan to buy a four-bedroom house in Osaka, after ups and downs, He Zhili finally let go of her past grudge with national table tennis, and returned to Shanghai to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships in May 2005 as a friendship messenger. During the interview, He Zhili cried several times, mentioned his past grievances He Zhili said that he should not mention the past and thanked the motherland for cultivating him.
After the heart knot was completely untied, He Zhili continued to work in the Japanese table tennis scene, but she would often return to China to participate in activities to promote table tennis, and her busy career made He Zhili temporarily forget the emotional vacancy, but her parents did not want their daughter to remain alone in her old age, often urging her to remarry, but He Zhili, who had emotional scars, did not want to believe in Japanese men anymore, and said in an interview with domestic reporters that if there were suitable men in China, she would try to believe in love again, But until now, 58-year-old He Zhili is still alone, more than thirty years have passed when no one can say whether He Zhili did anything wrong, can only say that all this is life, now the Chinese sports scene has long had no rules for letting the ball, but He Zhili, who was flourishing back then, has two sideburns white, what do you think about this welcome to discuss in the comment area.
