Zhu Yuling's hometown is Mianyang, Sichuan, and she has won the World Cup women's singles championship, the World Table Tennis Championships women's team and women's doubles championship, and the World Table Tennis Championships women's singles runner-up. However, in 2020, she had a sudden problem with her body's immune system and withdrew from a series of competitions.
Zhu Yuling had a 4B fibroadenoma in her body, but because she wanted to go all out to hit the Tokyo Olympics, she chose conservative treatment. In September 2021, she underwent surgery on the strong recommendation of her doctor. After that, she officially faded out of the ring.
After retiring, Zhu Yuling's life is more exciting and full of infinite possibilities. In an interview in 2022, she revealed that she had entered the business world, studying to manage companies while continuing her studies, and she enjoyed this state very much.
Now Zhu Yuling has multiple identities, such as an associate professor of the Department of Physical Education of Tianjin University, a doctoral student in DoM cooperative management at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and an executive director of a semiconductor company.
At Tianjin University, she teaches six compulsory classes a week to students of different grades, and leads the school team to train every Wednesday and Friday. In Zhu Yuling's view, teaching is a profession that "influences life with life", and her responsibility is very heavy, and she must lead by example and use practical actions to inspire and influence students. She also made school history by leading the varsity team to a fourth-place finish in the national competition.
Zhu Yuling is also studying for a doctorate. The doctoral program is bilingual and requires the writing and defense of a thesis in English, and she is the youngest student in the class. In September last year, she completed her thesis proposal in Lisbon, Portugal, which was written entirely in English.
Currently, Zhu Yuling also serves as the executive director of a semiconductor technology company in Guangzhou, one of the family businesses. At 9 a.m. every day, she attends the company's regular meeting online on time, and recently she went to Jinggangshan to participate in the company's team building and prepare for next week's class on the plane.
Zhu Yuling said that putting down the racket is a comma for her, but it is by no means the end. Now she has gradually embarked on the road in a new stage of the journey, and no matter where she goes in the future, this road will not come to an end.
