I never cared about paying attention to celebrities, but the Zhang Jike incident piqued my interest.
I am a sports lover. Interested in people and things in basketball, badminton, table tennis, etc. Not long ago, corruption cases in football involved a large number of officials, coaches and players; Then there was an incident in the basketball world where Xinjiang Guanghui Club withdrew from the CBA; Then the national women's basketball team members had another scandal with Li Meng; The most interesting thing is the Zhang Jike incident in the table tennis world.
Because he is a heavyweight and the athlete with the shortest time to achieve the table tennis grand slam. He is the fourth Grand Slam winner after Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui and Ma Long.
Because of its huge influence, he became a national and even international celebrity for a while, participating in various variety shows held by major TV stations. The popularity is hot, and with it, major domestic brands find him as a spokesperson, and they make a lot of money for a while, and they can't spend it in a few lifetimes.
However, overnight, the personality collapsed, and negative reports filled the major media, becoming the talk of people after tea. Gambling, prostitutes, engaging in women, not paying gambling debts, using ex-girlfriend Jing Tian's private photos and videos to settle debts. Many of the brands he represented quickly terminated their contracts with him. The overwhelming article became a hot discussion on the whole network for a while. Writing, commenting, questioning, sympathizing, hating iron is not steel, there are everywhere. There are many opinions.
We often say, "No wind and no waves." "If Zhang Jike did not have the above problems, no one would dare to expose them easily. It is rumored that the exposer is Li Weiao, a reporter from the Economic Observer. If he does not have certain evidence, forgive him for not daring to make it up at will. And no one will believe it. Although it is now the era of self-media, rumor-mongering, rumor-spreading and even slander come at a heavy price.
There have always been rumors that the Chinese table tennis team has gambling phenomenon. The Kong Linghui incident a few years ago is proof of this, and until now there has been no investigation conclusion and handling opinion, but just left the national team, which can't help but make people have a lot of reverie.
Many of the top talents in China's sports industry are selected at a young age to enter the city, provincial and even national teams.
What these people have in common is that they neglect the study of cultural classes because of their hard practice, and their education level is generally low. At the same time, because of the pursuit of sports performance as the goal, he has not developed good personal qualities and good morals since childhood.
Why do some undesirable phenomena always appear in some arenas that should not occur? After Zhang Jike won the ball, he won the Grand Slam, and at that moment, he tore his vest, roared loudly, and jumped on the table to celebrate wildly, which is a manifestation of lack of cultivation. Celebration is understandable, but too crazy is inevitably annoying.
Afterwards, I did not hear reports of Guoping criticizing its education. Instead, Liu Guoliang hugged him and kissed his forehead, which was a kind of encouragement in disguise. If the Zhang Jike incident is true, Guoping, especially Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Table Tennis Association, has an unshirkable responsibility. At least there is responsibility for improper education.
There is also the phenomenon of fighting in the arena because of winning or losing. All these reflect the lack of cultural accomplishment and patriotic education.
These phenomena must not be underestimated, and its reaction is that the upper echelons of our sports circles, for all athletes, are urgently pressing to strengthen patriotic education, cultural education, self-cultivation, and quality.
Only in this way can we avoid the occurrence of undesirable phenomena, revitalize China, and let the Chinese nation walk in the forefront of the world. The strength of sports actually reflects the comprehensive strength of a country.
We are already the second largest economy in the world. The corresponding comprehensive sports are also second, and some sports have far surpassed sports powers such as Europe and the United States. Whenever we hear the solemn national anthem on the field, it makes us feel passionate and proud.
Athletes deserve praise for winning glory for their country on the field, but they should not use this as capital and act arbitrarily.
The Zhang Jike phenomenon deserves to be warned by all athletes.
We will wait and see what Zhang Jike is right and wrong.
