At the 2011 French Open, Li Na defeated a Russian player in the final and won the first Grand Slam singles championship of her career. When she stood on the podium, the five-star red flag fluttered in the wind over the French stadium, and all the Chinese fans cheered.
After the game, in an interview with the media, Li Na was so excited that she babbled a lot, but forgot the most important sentence "thank you to the motherland". For the outside world, this is tantamount to a bolt from the blue. Everyone questioned whether Li Na had forgotten her identity and did not show the patriotic spirit she should have.
In fact, Li Na was just too excited and made a slip of the tongue. She is not an athlete trained in the system, and she does not understand the importance of expressing her position. However, this incident caused her to lose her reputation in public.
Many fans said they couldn't forgive her words and deeds.
Two years later, Li Na sparked controversy again. After a losing match, when asked "I'm sorry for the fans", Li Na asked the reporter, "Do I need to kneel down and apologize?" This wording angered many. In their opinion, Li Na no longer has the humility she had when she was a fledgling.

But she chose to escape. This undoubtedly became a stain on her career and a painful lesson that she had to learn.
