Ma Long and Ishikawa Jiachun: Table tennis love legend Ma Long, this male god in the table tennis world, not only looks handsome, has a gentle and introverted personality, but also an outstanding spokesman among the male table tennis players. However, the excellent Ma Long also provoked a peach blossom debt because of this.
Yoshijun Ishikawa, a rising star of Japanese women's table tennis, not only has extraordinary strength, but also won the love of Chinese fans with her sweet smile and amiable attitude. Her public admiration for Ma Long made the scandal between the two once very popular.
Yoshijun Ishikawa, only 1.57 meters tall, has the petite body that is the hallmark of Japanese girls. However, her delicate facial features and sweet smile make her superior in appearance.
Like her predecessor Ai Fukuhara, Yoshijun Ishikawa was trained in China since she was a child, so she speaks Chinese fluently. Her mother, Kumi Ishikawa, is a former Japanese professional player, so she has been practicing table tennis under her mother's guidance since she was 3 years old.
At the age of 12, Yoshijun Ishikawa was able to defeat several high school and college students at the Japanese National Championships, which amazed the audience. At the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, after she lost to China's Sun Yingsha, she was the first to walk over to congratulate her; She saw Marlene guiding on the sidelines and greeting Marlene with a fluent Chinese; After the game, he also took the initiative to help the referee pick up the ball. This humble and courteous personality has made her loved by Chinese fans.
In addition to his outstanding strength in the table tennis world, Yoshijun Ishikawa also has a sweet appearance and is welcomed by the Japanese advertising industry. It can be said that she inherited the business value of Ai Fukuhara. During the pandemic, Yoshijun Ishikawa also demonstrated her cooking skills online and was skillful. She not only excelled in table tennis, but also had intellectual beauty and housework, making her the ideal marriage partner in Japan.
However, Yoshijun Ishikawa herself doesn't seem to care about this at all, because she has only one person in her heart, and that is Ma Long.
Unabashedly admired by Ma Long, Yoshijun Ishikawa began practicing table tennis at the age of 5 and was already selected for the national team at the age of 13. Malone's skills are like magic, attracting the attention of countless fans. Liu Guoliang once said: "Ma Long is recognized as one of the hardest working and most talented athletes, and he has brought his skills to the extreme. And Yoshijun Ishikawa has always been a big fan of Marlon. At the end of each game, she was always the first to come to the sidelines to cheer for Malone, shouting Malone's name, and then handing over towels and drinks affectionately, her eyes full of adoration. In many interviews, Yoshijun Ishikawa has publicly expressed his admiration for Ma Long. When asked about her ideal mixed doubles partner, she blushed and said she wanted to partner with Malone and praised Malone for being handsome, strong and gentle. The two even had several contacts in private.
Once, after the Incheon Asian Games, Yoshijun Ishikawa was chatting with Ai Fukuhara when Ma Long passed by. Ai Fukuhara immediately beckoned Marlon over, and Yoshijun Ishikawa happily took a photo with her idol. Her bright smile seemed to indicate the warming of the relationship between the two. Many fans left messages, expecting the two to become golden children and jade girls. Yoshijun Ishikawa even sang a confession song on a show, which was interpreted as a confession to Ma Long. Since then, she has appeared at Malone many times to cheer him on. However, Malone has always kept a low profile, and even to avoid being misunderstood, sometimes a little cold.
However, after the Rio Olympics, Malone's attitude suddenly changed. When asked if it was possible to form mixed doubles with Yoshijun Ishikawa, he said with a serious face: This needs to be decided by the Table Tennis Association! Until then, however, Malone had been mildly saying "yes." This sharp turn in attitude sparked speculation, and soon the answer was revealed, and Malone opened his romance on social media.
Yoshijun Ishikawa immediately sent his blessings, but the news of "Yoshijun Ishikawa lost love" made headlines. Yoshijun Ishikawa, who has publicly expressed his admiration for Ma Long many times, suddenly became the party of "failed crush". However, Yoshijun Ishikawa did not calculate, but resolved the scandal decently: "Ma Long is a player I respect very much, and this is not special. But Yoshijun Ishikawa's presence still caused a rift in Ma Long's romance.
Ma Long's girlfriend, Xia Lu, is a native of Nanjing and studied law at Hohai University. She has excellent grades and is also recognized as the "school flower" of the school. Ma Long was already the main player of the national team at this time, and went to Nanjing for exchange activities, and the two were divided into the same group. After the event, the generous Xia Lu straightforwardly asked for Ma Long's autograph and said that she was his fan. A year later, Ma Long received an elaborate electronic photo album made by Xia Lu during training, which collected more than 40 handsome photos of Ma Long during the competition. Ma Long was touched by Xia Lu's heart, and the two have chatted frequently on the Internet since then, and gradually developed feelings. However, Malone did not dare to agree easily, because he wanted to fulfill his dream of winning the championship first, and did not want to be distracted by love.
Xia Lu expressed her willingness to wait, she said firmly. Finally, after winning the 2012 London Olympics, Malone plucked up the courage to accept Xia Lu's confession. After winning the Olympic and World Championships, Malone is also the reward of Xia Lu's 8-year wait. However, the 8-year wait has already made Xia Lu a little worried, especially considering the presence of Yoshijun Ishikawa.
"You are more suitable for her..." As Ma Long's fame rose, a fan girl like Yoshijun Ishikawa suddenly appeared. She publicly expressed her admiration for Ma Long and also said that she wanted to marry in China, and many fans strongly supported "Long Chun CP". This made Xia Lu, who had been stoic, begin to feel uneasy, and even began to doubt herself, and she began to feel that maybe the fans were right, Yoshijun Ishikawa was more suitable for Ma Long. Therefore, she decided to withdraw from the relationship.
Marlon repeatedly promised Xia Lu that he was the only one in his heart, and asked her not to misunderstand again. Ma Long's father, Ma Yujun, was a middle-level cadre in the unit, and his mother had quit her job for many years to accompany Ma Long in training. On National Day in 2015, 27-year-old Ma Long finally brought his girlfriend Xia Lu back to his hometown of Anshan and officially met his parents. The two elders fell in love with Xia Lu at first sight, and the mother of the horse held Xia Lu's hand and thanked her for her dedication and companionship over the years. However, Father Ma made a request, hoping that the two would not affect their training because of their feelings. Malone solemnly promised that he could distinguish priorities and discuss marriage after the Rio Olympics. Xia Lu then put aside her doubts, continued to be with Ma Long, and also said that she would support Ma Long to complete his sports career first, and would not become a burden to him.
The relationship between Yoshijun Ishikawa and Xia Lu became an underground affair, so as not to affect Xia Lu's studies. The relationship between the two has been low-key until 2016, when it was accidentally leaked by teammates. Ma Long immediately disclosed the existence of his girlfriend, but did not expect that this would bring more harm to Xia Lu. After Ma Long won the championship, he expressed his love on social media, and Xia Lu also responded at the first time, expressing his affection. However, this sparked dissatisfaction among some fans, who believed that Xia Lu was clinging to Marlon. Some people even fabricated rumors that Xia Lu had plastic surgery and seduced the rich, saying that she was a scheming woman. These rumors spread on the Internet like a virus, and countless people signed a joint request for Ma Long to break up, and even sent a private message to the national table tennis team members to "rescue" Ma Long. At the critical moment, Ma Long stood up to defend his lover, and the sentence "Eight years is not easy, we are good" resolved many doubts. In 2017, 27-year-old Xia Lu longed to get married and have children, Ma Long submitted a marriage application to the national table tennis team and was approved, and the two received their certificates in Beijing in a low-key manner.
In order for his wife not to have to travel, Ma Long settled in Nanjing. In December 2017, 29-year-old Ma Long was delighted with the "little dragon cub". The mother came to help take care of her grandson, while the father separated and visited home every two months. Malone can only go home once a year, but his family has no complaints and fully supports him. In 2018, Ma Long posted a rare photo with his son, with the text "The first kiss must be mine", showing the warm side of being a father.
Whenever his son is mentioned, Ma Long's eyes are full of happiness. He performed a cradle move at the World Championships to express his thoughts for his son. Today, "Little Dragon Cub" is 5 years old, but Yoshijun Ishikawa, who was born in 1993, is still single.
Yoshijun Ishikawa is still single, and she has always had high standards for choosing a mate. She has made it clear that she hopes to find someone who is honest and trustworthy and knows how to play table tennis, preferably Chinese. It seems that years of star-chasing experience have made Ishikawa Yoshijun deeply like Chinese culture. With her conditions and fame, it is not difficult to find a satisfactory partner, but her parents are increasingly anxious. Yoshijun Ishikawa said frankly in an interview: "My parents very much hope that I will end my singleness as soon as possible and form a warm family. "They think I'm not small anymore and should be a wife and mother." In fact, Yoshijun Ishikawa hopes to find a table tennis player as a boyfriend and form a table tennis family together. She believes that even if she gets married and has children, she should not give up her table tennis career. However, all kinds of gossip about her never stopped.
Recently, the famous Japanese gymnast Sushi Mizutori was spotted posing with Yoshijun Ishikawa, and the two seemed to have a close relationship. Sushi Mizutori was the main player of the Japanese men's gymnastics team and won Olympic gold medals. This situation caused a scandal, but it was later confirmed that it was just a misunderstanding, and the two were purely ordinary friends. There is speculation that Yoshijun Ishikawa actually prefers another Chinese table tennis player, Lin Gaoyuan.
It is worth mentioning that Yoshijun Ishikawa recently came to the Hangzhou Asian Games as a member of the Japanese delegation. She served as a staff member in the regimental headquarters and was mainly responsible for providing psychological counseling to Japanese athletes. Some netizens quipped: The Japanese men's team is scarred and does need psychological counseling. When asked if he would go to cheer for his sweetheart Maron, Yoshijun Ishikawa smiled mysteriously and did not answer positively. But attentive fans still noticed that Yoshijun Ishikawa did cheer for Malone in the audience, although it was not long, but she may have some concerns, after all, Marlon already has his own family.
In short, we sincerely hope that this long-single table tennis woman will find her own happiness as soon as possible. Maybe she will find true love in China, or maybe she will find a sports lover in Japan and form a happy family together. I hope that her future will be full of love and happiness, and she will no longer be troubled by scandals.
