A sports star in front of the stage, a stubborn gambler behind the stage.
Talented but not virtuous, well-known national table tennis player Kong Linghui violently beat up security guards on the street, and the drunk driving of national table tennis idols caused traffic accidents.
All these scandals made Kong Linghui notorious, and even if he was talented, the national team resolutely expelled him.
can't help but make people curious, from a national table tennis Grand Slam player who became famous as a teenager and is admired by everyone, to an outdated athlete who is now spurned by others, what has Kong Linghui experienced?
How is he living now, who has disappeared for many years?
1. Talented, the hope of national table tennis
Kong Linghui was born in a family that loves table tennis very much, and his father, as a member of the Heilongjiang provincial team, is also quite accomplished in table tennis.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son.
By the time he was six or seven years old, Kong Linghui had already beaten everyone in the same age group.
Kong Linghui, who is "invincible all over the world", has become a talented talent in the field of children's table tennis.
Seeing this, Kong Linghui's father hurriedly sent his son to a professional school to learn table tennis systematically Xi, for fear of delaying his son's good talent.
In the table tennis school, Kong Linghui is very serious in his Xi studies, is not afraid of failure, and is quite sportsmanlike.
He often finds his senior classmates to learn from each other, and his extensive exposure to other players has made his style of play more flexible.
With the help of his father, Kong Linghui made rapid progress.
At that time, the national table tennis was in a dark age, and the traditional national team style of play was restrained by Western teams.
The national table tennis team has made repeated mistakes in international competitions, and it is in need of a talented person to lead the national team out of the encirclement.
Kong Linghui's father once again seized this opportunity and sent him to the national team for special training.
Kong Linghui did not live up to the expectations of his father and the country, in 1995, at the age of 19, he defeated the world-famous German veteran at the World National Table Tennis Championships and became famous.
After that, he and his old partner Deng Yaping won the mixed doubles championship.
The eyes of world table tennis were attracted by this young Chinese player named Kong Linghui, and the dark era of national table tennis ushered in the dawn.
Kong Linghui, who was at his peak, certainly did not stop there, and in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he went all the way and won the championship again.
He successfully ushered in a grand slam in his life, and at this time, he represents the hope of national table tennis in the hearts of the Chinese people.
But the flowering period of athletes is destined to be short-lived, and Kong Linghui, who has experienced his peak, began to gradually go downhill.
Although he can occasionally win a few gold medals, his form has declined significantly, and people around him persuade him to hide behind the scenes like Liu Guoliang.
Kong Linghui also understood that he was getting older and facing more powerlessness on the table tennis stage, so he had the idea of retiring.
Perhaps Kong Linghui's achievements in the field of table tennis are too outstanding, and everyone doesn't want a generation of talented stars to fall.
In 2013, he was hired by the state as the coach of the Chinese women's table tennis team.
Under Kong Linghui's careful teaching, women's table tennis soon ushered in their peak moment.
The Chinese women's table tennis team began to sweep the world's table tennis courts, winning many championships in major international competitions.
In the 2016 Olympic Games, the Chinese women's table tennis team won the double championship.
Just when everyone thought that Kong Linghui could rely on his excellent table tennis talent to reach the pinnacle of life.
A news titled Kong Linghui is addicted to gambling and owes millions of gambling debts to the public.
What is going on? How should Kong Linghui, who has always shown himself as a positive sports star, deal with it?
Second, he was deeply involved in a gambling scandal and lost his table tennis career
According to the revelations on the Internet, Kong Linghui began to participate in gambling as early as 2015 and owed millions of huge debts in the casino.
Some people even claimed that Kong Linghui borrowed 2 million yuan from a casino in Singapore.
Gambling has always been based on luck, and most gamblers lose their fortunes, and Kong Linghui is naturally no exception.
It didn't take long for Kong Linghui to lose all the 2 million yuan he borrowed from the casino and started his long career of working to pay off debts.
Two years have passed, and Kong Linghui's gambling debts have still not been repaid.
Therefore, Kong Linghui's gambling information was also released by relevant personnel.
As soon as this news came out, Kong Linghui's glorious image in the hearts of the Chinese people immediately disappeared.
As the former main player of the national table tennis team and the current women's table tennis coach, Kong Linghui naturally does not allow his reputation to be affected so much.
As soon as the gambling scandal broke, he immediately apologized to the audience through social media.
He posted on social platforms that he was not involved in this gambling.
It was the family who insisted on playing two games, and he was embarrassed to refute the interest of the family, so he agreed to go to the casino together.
During the family's participation in gambling, he helped his family get some chips out of kindness, and accidentally left his own information, which caused this misunderstanding.
Although Kong Linghui stated that he was not involved in gambling and only accompanied him, his image could never be repaired.
The day after the news broke, the national team ordered Kong Linghui, who was far away in a foreign country, to return to China for review.
Kong Linghui also understood that he had violated the relevant regulations of the national team, and he was embarrassed to stay in the national team at this time, so he took the initiative to resign.
The national team also remembered that Kong Linghui had won so many brilliant results for the national table tennis team, and let him leave with dignity.
But netizens didn't seem to want to let Kong Linghui go, and soon more of Kong Linghui's black material was picked up.
3. Drunken assault on security guards
In 2011, Kong Linghui was exposed by relevant media to beat up security guards on the street after being drunk.
The news claimed that Kong Linghui drank a lot of alcohol that night, and after being drunk, he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, so he broke into the World Financial Building next to him.
A drunken Kong Linghui pointed out that when he wanted to go to the Universal Building to use the bathroom, he was stopped by the security personnel at the door.
Kong Linghui was very unhappy, he felt that he was also a celebrity, and his request to go to the bathroom was refused.
Kong Linghui, who was on alcohol, chose to quarrel with the security personnel, and even took the lead in making a move.
The two got into a fight in the street, alarming the rest of the people around them.
Soon, the police rushed to investigate, and with the efforts of the police, the two parties agreed to mediate, and Kong Linghui agreed to compensate the security guard for medical expenses.
Liu Guoliang, who was a member of the national table tennis team with Kong Linghui at the time, also came forward to vouch for Kong Linghui and apologized to the security guard.
In fact, this is not the first time Kong Linghui has made trouble at the police station because of drinking.
4. Drunk driving causes traffic accidents
In 2006, Kong Linghui, who was still the main member of the national table tennis team, made headlines for drunk driving.
At that time, the national team was collectively preparing for the Olympic Games, and Kong Linghui, who had some talent and won honors for the national team many times, was also very disdainful of the training camp.
During the preparation for the Olympics, he ignored the rules of the national team, went out without permission and even drove a car and collided with a taxi.
After the two cars collided, the taxi driver saw that the owner of the opposite car was slow to react, so he stepped forward to check, only to find that he was drunk in the driving position.
Kong Linghui, who was unconscious, was dragged down even when he got out of the car, and he began to vomit after getting out of the car.
After vomiting, he staggered over to the taxi driver and began to insult the driver.
His behavior quickly attracted the attention of the police, and after the police hurriedly arrived, they took Kong Linghui and the taxi driver to the police station.
At the police station, Kong Linghui still went his own way and was not reasonable at all.
After waking up the next day, Kong Linghui realized what a bad impact he had on the national team from what he did yesterday.
He apologized to the taxi driver and paid compensation, while also being banned from the race.
As controversial as Kong Linghui's behavior is his romance with Ma Su.
When it comes to Ma Su, I believe everyone thinks of some bad words, and she also instigated her best friend Li Xiaolu to cheat on the barber.
is such a female artist with a bad record who once fell in love with Kong Linghui.
The two met at a gathering of friends, and since they were both fellow villagers in the Northeast, the two spontaneously became acquainted.
Kong Linghui, who became acquainted, gradually had a good impression of the lively and cheerful Ma Su, and invited Ma Su to dinner from time to time to increase the intimacy between the two people.
At that time, how could Ma Su, who was a fledgling, resist Kong Yunhui's enthusiasm, and soon, the two confirmed their relationship and began to live together.
At first, the cohabitation of the two was very sweet, and they sprinkled some dog food on netizens from time to time.
But due to the limitations of the nature of their work, Ma Su and Kong Linghui fell into a state of gathering less and leaving more.
Especially in 06, after Kong Linghui retired due to his own scandal, he wanted Ma Su to return to his family.
Ma Su, who was just red, naturally did not agree with Kong Linghui's idea, so the two had a big quarrel.
During the quarrel, Kong Linghui spoke ill of Ma Su, which made Ma Su begin to be disappointed in this relationship.
Until a variety show, Ma Su claimed that he had spent a long time living a single life.
Only then did netizens understand that the long-distance love run between the two sides has ended.
Regarding the discussion of the outside world, Kong Linghui himself does not seem to care at all.
end
Compared with Kong Linghui's talent but lack of virtue and abandoning his original intention, Liu Guoliang's ten-year perseverance in the national team is particularly commendable.
Seeing that Liu Guoliang, who used to be of equal strength, is now a lot higher than himself, will Kong Linghui regret what he did?
With the passage of time, Kong Linghui has gradually shown signs of comeback recently, and even appeared on variety shows to explain the gambling scandal of the year.
I don't know what the fans who have always supported national table tennis think about this?
