The end of 2023 is a mixed year for Chinese table tennis. In terms of the men's team, with the rise of Wang Chuqin, Chinese table tennis has ushered in new hope. After the Tokyo Olympics, the development of the men's team has been in the spotlight, especially in the context of Ma Long's nearing retirement. The performance of other young players such as Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin initially worried the coaching staff, however, Wang Chuqin's rush brought a ray of light to the Chinese men's team, and coach Liu Guoliang can also be a little relieved.

In contrast, the situation for the women's team is more complicated. Chen Meng's form has declined significantly, and he even failed to win the championship in 2023. Wang Manyu's growth also seems to have stagnated, while Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong have improved slightly, but their stability and international record are not ideal. This has led many fans to express dissatisfaction with the coaching level of the women's team coach Ma Lin, and there are even voices calling for Kong Linghui to return to coaching the women's team, but this seems to be just wishful thinking on the part of fans.

Recently, the long-lost Kong Linghui has reappeared in the public eye. He recorded a congratulatory video for the opening of the table tennis hall of former national player Wen Jia, showing his support for Wen Jia. Although Wen Jia's table tennis career is not brilliant, she also won the championship at the Youth World Table Tennis Championships and became a new star of the national table tennis women's team. Her retirement and entrepreneurship, as well as Kong Linghui's blessing as a mentor, have attracted the attention of the outside world.
