With the loss of the two ace pairs of women's doubles at the Asian Games and Wang Yidi's failure to reach the final, many netizens who did good things are calling on Ma Lin to "leave class" and call on Kong Linghui to return to the national table tennis and take over the women's team. However, Kong Linghui, who was once the "white moonlight", could not come back, and this place that had given him infinite glory had also become his nightmare.
With the fermentation of gambling incidents in 2017, Kong Linghui left the national table tennis, this departure, it should be said that the table tennis in life is completely separated, he and Liu Guoliang, the twin stars who used to dominate the table tennis arena, are also going farther and farther on the road of life, and now Liu Guoliang, concurrently the vice president of the ITTF, is not only the head of the national table tennis, but also has a certain right to speak in the world table tennis arena. But Kong Linghui, who was shoulder to shoulder with him, had to stay away from the little white ball. Some people say that Liu Guoliang is a very shrewd person, high emotional intelligence, Kong Linghui has good ball intelligence, but emotional intelligence is not good, he is actually a very shaft person, integrity, but does not know how to be flexible, Kong Linghui is a very good athlete, maybe young fame, his personality is somewhat introverted, but also a little stubborn and will not know how to compromise, to some extent, he is not suitable for survival in the system. Starting from his relationship with Ma Su who have been entangled for more than ten years, Kong Linghui was doomed to lose to Liu Guoliang forever in his career.
Gemini at that time, how bright the smile
1. Kong Linghui became famous at a young age and eventually lost a relationship, and he was just a stepping stone for Masu
Kong Linghui, born in 1975, is the second men's Grand Slam winner in the history of national table tennis and the first men's singles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships in the team. Kong Linghui was shocked when he first debuted, and in 1995 he won the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup men's singles championship consecutively, when he was 19 years old, handsome appearance, dashing skills, affectionately known as the "Prince of Table Tennis", is the idol in the hearts of countless Chinese people. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Kong Linghui lost to Kim Ze-so, and the dream of a Grand Slam was postponed to Sydney four years later.
The final of the 2000 Sydney Olympics and Lao Wa, also known as the "century war", because it happened to be cross-century, also described as the importance of this competition, this is the last big competition of the 38mm small ball, since then, the world table tennis has entered the era of the big ball. It was a great match that went down in history, and Waldner was the king of his era, beating Liu Guoliang in the semi-final to reach the final.
Kong Linghui reached the Olympic final for the first time, and all the pressure was on himself, but he had the last laugh and became the eventual winner, ending the small-ball era with a Grand Slam. After Kong Linghui won, he kissed the national flag on the chest of the team's uniform, he was like a child with a full score, ran to the then national table tennis head coach Cai Zhenhua, Cai Zhenhua was very excited, and hugged Kong Linghui high, at this moment, countless Chinese people burst into tears.
Speaking of Kong Linghui, naturally he can't bypass Liu Guoliang. As the twin stars of the Chinese table tennis world, the two cooperate with the doubles to compete in the arena.
For more than a decade, Kong Linghui and Liu Guoliang have been roommates and teammates, as well as rivals.
But whether the game is won or lost, they will take care of each other's emotions.
Even if Kong Linghui wins Liu Guoliang, he will return to the dormitory to cry with Liu Guoliang after the game.
After the 2002 Osaka World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Guoliang chose to retire and became the coach of the national table tennis men's team.
Kong continued to compete, but in the following years Kong gradually declined in the world rankings, and in October 2006 he also announced his retirement.
After retiring, Kong Linghui entered the national table tennis team as an ordinary coach.
In 2012, the coach of the women's team, Shi Zhihao, officially stepped down, and Kong Linghui became the coach of the national table tennis women's team as the only candidate.
In Kong Linghui's coaching career, he also brought out many champions, such as Guo Yue.
By the time of the 2016 Rio Olympics, players such as Li Xiaoxia, Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning led by Kong Linghui had become the main players of the national table tennis women's team. Under the leadership of the old partner of Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui, the national table tennis team became a super popular "fat team" for a while.
That year was also Kong Linghui's tenth year on the road to coaching.
During the Rio Olympics, CCTV commented on Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui in the program "Rio 30 Minutes", "They were once idols in the hearts of thousands of people, and they are still shining twins in the Chinese table tennis arena." ”
Unexpectedly, only a year later, Kong Linghui walked off the altar and withdrew from the table altar. On May 29, 2017, Hong Kong media revealed that Kong Linghui was chased by a hotel casino in Singapore, and his debt amount was as high as 2.24 million yuan. At that time, during the World Table Tennis Championships, the report instantly exploded public opinion, and many fans expressed doubts and puzzlement about this matter. Although Kong Linghui issued a statement that night, clarifying that he was not involved in gambling, no relatives and friends went in to play, and he was just watching from the sidelines.
However, Kong Linghui was suspended as the head coach of the women's team the next day and was asked to return to China immediately for investigation and treatment.
Since then, the official investigation has not given the final investigation, but Kong Linghui did not return to the national table tennis team to continue coaching.
Also in this year, Liu Guoliang served as the vice chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and no longer served as the head coach of the national table tennis and the head coach of the men's team. At this point, the coaching career of "Gemini" ended, and Kong Linghui retired from the table tennis arena and turned to business. Before Kong Linghui's ping-pong career ended, he and Ma Su, the "fairy couple", also ended their eleven-year relationship in 2013.
In 2002, the two first met during an advertising shoot, when Kong Linghui was a well-known world champion and Masu was just a rookie actor who had just stepped into the entertainment industry.
In Ma Su's eyes, this world champion is more handsome than on TV, and Kong Linghui also said that he liked Ma Su at a glance.
When the relationship between the two was revealed, it really caused a sensation in the entire sports and entertainment industry, after all, how did the two who did not fight together become a couple? In the following 11 years, the two had many news of their marriage. In 2008, Kong Linghui and Ma Su participated in "Lu Yu Has an Appointment" together, the host asked Kong Linghui about his plans to get married, Kong Linghui also said "Maybe next year, depending on the situation, let it be." ”
It's just that the Beijing Olympics have passed, and the London Olympics have also passed, and I still haven't seen the news of Kong Linghui and Ma Su getting married. With the passage of time, Ma Su has also made a breakthrough in the entertainment industry with her own efforts, and she is no longer the unknown "Kong Linghui girlfriend".
Kong Linghui also became the head coach of the national table tennis women's team, and such a close love should have lasted longer.
Unexpectedly, on July 23, 2013, Ma Su burst into tears at the new drama press conference, saying that he had been living alone for a long time.
On July 28, Kong Linghui also posted a response, in which he praised Ma Su as "cheerful and kind", and the two broke up because they were busy with their respective careers and got together less and separated more.
Many netizens shouted for Ma Su, and even accused Kong Linghui, everyone said that there are several 11 years in life, and how many people will spend 11 years to fall in love with another person. But I feel that in this relationship, it is Kong Linghui who really loses.
I have always felt that the two of them are not suitable in many places, and even that their values are not equal. Kong Linghui has lived in a very simple and closed circle since he was a child, and he began to play at a very young age, and then he had a single life as an athlete, spending most of his time in training or on the way to competition. When he became famous at a young age, the door of brilliant life also opened, and the colorful world, the temptation of fame and fortune and even beautiful girls were all novelties to him, and there were too many places in this world that needed him to reacquaint.
He met Masu when he was full of aura, it is normal for two people to attract each other, no longer normal, real talent and female appearance, but over time, the two people have less and less intersections with each other in life. The sports industry is much simpler than the entertainment industry, which to a certain extent also determines that they go farther and farther in the cognition of fame and fortune, marriage, and love, and even difficult to integrate into each other's work and life circles, two people have not been married for 11 years together, that is certainly not a problem of one person, and even said that the love between them has long died, for a long time, both people may subconsciously feel that not getting married is the best ending.
Kong Linghui is introverted, stubborn, and even a little machismo, but Ma Su is a cheerful, straightforward girl, the profession of an actor also makes her need for feelings more abundant, Kong Linghui as the head coach, his time should be said to be out of his control, and Ma Su also needs to be famous, both of them are unwilling to make concessions in their careers for each other, and over time, the relationship will fade, more often just see through and not break it. Marriage pays attention to the door, in fact, love is also, two people only love is not enough, love also needs to be balanced, at a certain stage there will always be a match with you, maybe in the end of love they are the same, but as Masu grows, her subjective consciousness is stronger, and she doesn't want to be dominated, each wants each other to understand their hardships in their careers, they want each other to compromise for themselves, and gradually their love has finally lost to reality.
For Kong Linghui, the love between him and Ma Su is more emotional than rational, in fact, this is largely determined by his character, seemingly peaceful and restrained, but in fact stubborn, stubborn, like to compete with himself and prefer challenges, like to be completely different from your own life and personality Ma Su is actually a challenge to himself, this relationship failed, to a large extent also confirmed some of his character flaws.
2. Liu Guoliang's rational view of mate selection allowed him to follow the trend and finally defeated Kong Linghui to win the first place
In 2016, Liu Guoliang talked about falling in love with teammate Wang Jin when he participated in the interview show of Jin Xing. Liu Guoliang said that he and Kong Linghui debuted relatively early, and entered the national first team at the age of 15, and that year the second team just entered a group of little girls, and he fell in love with Wang Jin at a glance, that year, he was 16 years old.
Liu Guoliang blew himself up, when he was young, he didn't train well, and when everyone's training was over, he himself liked to make up lessons in the arena, always the last to leave the arena, and later he always found that Wang Jin was always the last to leave the arena, Wang Jin is a chronic person. At the end of each day, she unhurriedly packs up her belongings. Each time, she was the one who "beat the wolf", and the two always met by chance when the stadium was about to close.
People are not young and youthful, Wang Jin's mind is very meticulous, she understands Liu Guoliang's intentions, and also accepts such an excellent Henan guy from the bottom of her heart. Love for a person will always show in the eyes and from the body language. After a long time, Wang Jin, a cautious Liaoning girl, decided to leave the national team and play in Japan. Why? Because Liu Guoliang has been included in the main force, it is easy to conceal the relationship between the two for a while, but it is not easy to conceal it, and it is better to become lovers than to be forced to break up. In fact, for Wang Jin, this decision is a bit risky. Leaving the national team means never winning another world championship. But Wang Jin still made a firm choice: he first went to Japan to play for a few years, whether it was good for himself or his boyfriend, it was a good choice, and he could better protect his feelings. Liu Guoliang said on the program: "Wang Jin also played well at that time, but it depends on who he compares. If I had given up playing at the time, I wouldn't be able to sit here right now. Instead of playing, I think it is more suitable for her to choose a husband. ”
From the beginning of the love when he was young, to the knot of thirty years, from the flower season to the stand, what a long journey, it is Wang Jin, who has been unconditionally supporting his beloved Liu Guoliang, and the long-term love between them has also overcome the test of time and distance. On May 6, 2010, Liu Guoliang and Wang Jin welcomed the crystallization of their love, a pair of twin sisters. The boss is called Liu Yujie, and the nickname wins; The second eldest is called Liu Yutong, nicknamed Yiyi. Only if you win the ball, you can get the first place, the meaning is so beautiful.
From Liu Guoliang's choice of love, we can see that Liu Guoliang is a very rational person, he knows the most suitable for his love, he identified Wang Jin, then the two of them should choose a path conducive to the development of feelings to go down firmly, treating the two people as a community rather than an independent individual, so Wang Jin chose to compromise in love. From the perspective of his career, Liu Guoliang also knows very clearly what he needs, and he chose to retire at the golden age of his sports career at the age of 26 was forced to helpless, but also made a very correct choice. It may also be his rationality that has made him successful in his career and life, on the other hand, Kong Linghui, after breaking up with Ma Su, often broke out scandals with young models. A man who does big things, the emotional rear can not be handled well, how can the world be safe. I sincerely hope that Kong Linghui can meet someone who really knows him and understands him, and can share happiness with him and can share his suffering.
Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui also experienced a career waterloo, Liu Guoliang said that he stepped down as head coach in June 2017 because "he wanted him to stay, but only as the head of the men's team's coaching staff" — an arrangement that Liu rejected the arrangement.
Before and after the World Table Tennis Championships in Düsseldorf in June 2017, Liu Guoliang's good partner Kong Linghui's gambling incident was an important turning point in his life. Since then, the "flat reform" of national table tennis has been launched - that is, the position of head coach is no longer established. Liu Guoliang had to step down as the head coach at this time, and only became one of the more than ten vice chairmen of the Table Tennis Association. In this regard, Liu Guoliang said in the program: "(National Pingping) After the outbreak and explosion after 2016, the whole atmosphere has a big problem with before, there is a deviation, it is an impact on everyone, there will be different voices, different ideas, opinions, and then I feel that the team will turn a little." ”
Liu Guoliang said: "Actually, I left, but my mind and heart did not leave, I watched all their games, and I would communicate with individual players. To put it bluntly, I am always ready. Because your people are gone, but your heart and feelings are not gone. One is love, the other is concern."
In the program, Liu Guoliang said: "I must do sports-related, must not depart from the theme of table tennis, because only in this field, Liu Guoliang is indispensable, and can even be irreplaceable."
Regarding the fact that the Japanese table tennis team has caused many powerful shocks to the Chinese team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Liu Guoliang said: "If you don't admit the impact of others, is it not deceiving yourself?" The Japanese team wants to overtake in the corners in 2019, and before they dared to fight and win, now they dare to fight and win, and they can really win. So at this time, the national table tennis must also speed up and squeeze people out. ”
Whether it was when he was playing, when he was a coach, and now as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Liu Guoliang has the same domineering, self-confidence and temperament as always, so he dares to return to the national table tennis under the condition of "unsuccessful and difficult to become benevolent" in different environments, and even more so at present, this spirit of "although millions of people go to the end", in fact, is the characteristic of Liu Guoliang's achievement of all his current reputation! "All the past, is the prologue", Liu Guoliang was born to do great things, and his mind and pattern also created him to be able to do things and get things done. If Liu Guoliang is an active player, and Kong Linghui is a passive type, Kong Linghui's cold and arrogant personality makes it difficult for him to get out of the shadow of 2017, not to mention that he never felt that he was wrong, so such a long thorn stuck in the throat, this devastating pain, he is difficult to forget. If Kong Linghui is a rational person, he should be decisive in his love with Ma Su, and later, it is estimated that Ma Su manipulated his relationship, which also shows to a certain extent that he is too temperamental and too self-sufficient.
In 2016, Ma Long's girlfriend Xia Lu was exposed to a lot of black material, but Ma Long firmly chose to support Xia Lu, publicly saying "Eight years is not easy, we are very good". Then low-key marriage, and Xia Lu also quit all media accounts after marriage, willing to be the woman behind Ma Long, from the handling of this matter, it can be seen that Ma Long is very decisive, what he needs is not a lingering love, or a wife who can guard the rear for him, so the 35-year-old Ma Long can play without distractions, he is very clear about what he wants, but Kong Linghui is too temperamental, so emotionally involved, life should also be broken, whether it is really involved in gambling, His lack of rigor gives people with ulterior motives a reason and excuse. Maybe he's a really good athlete, but it's hard to be a good manager.
Kong Linghui, who was born in 75, is nearly 50 years old, and really hopes that he can find a simple love, a person who loves him, a child who loves him, and his contribution to the history of table tennis will never be indelible, whether he is in the field or not.
