Jujube is always our jujube.
In the world of table tennis, Liu Shiwen can be regarded as a dazzling star, shining with infinite light.
Her career is like a magnificent epic, recording her struggles, regrets and hopes. Although time flies and the years are merciless, her persistence and passion are enduring.
The time has come to the spring of 2024, and there has been another uproar in the table tennis world. At the Singapore Grand Slam, the feat of national table tennis winning hardware was jaw-dropping.
At this time, when talking about one of the legends of national table tennis, how would you unconsciously mention that name? That's right, it's Liu Shiwen. Some people may say that Liu Shiwen is already "out of breath", and her glorious moment seems to have long been in the past.
However, in the temple of table tennis, she has always been an indelible star. Her passion and dedication to the game will never be defeated by time.
At the brand annual celebration with a warm atmosphere, Lin Gaoyuan and Liu Shiwen's words attracted the attention of countless people. The 2025 Greater Bay Area National Games has become their longing.
Lin Gaoyuan, that capable young man, had expectations for the future flashing in his eyes. He is looking forward to creating more brilliant results with Liu Shiwen at the National Games at his doorstep.
Liu Shiwen, on the other hand, was looking forward to and excited. She smiled and said that she hoped to surprise everyone at next year's National Games. Imagine standing on the podium and the smile on her face at that moment is fixed in everyone's eyes, forever indelible.
This news makes people's hearts surge. It's like a long-lost feast, and people are looking forward to it. Lin Gaoyuan and Liu Shiwen, the tacit partner, will once again set off a storm on the field.
They will face old teammates from the national team, such as the legendary "Shatou Combination". In singles, Liu Shiwen will once again compete fiercely with Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Xing and others.
Imagine her competing with these top players again, and a fierce competition will become a topic of conversation.
Some people may say that Liu Shiwen's career is not top-notch. Her path was full of ups and downs and regrets, and she missed too many opportunities. Even in her final years, injuries cost her the Olympics.
However, she chose to make a comeback. It's not just about filling in on regrets, it's about chasing dreams in your heart. She began to train regularly in order to be able to stand on the last shift and draw a perfect end to her career.
Perhaps, the "Xinwen Combination" will become a thing of the past, but the tacit cooperation between Liu Shiwen and Lin Gaoyuan will become a legend in the future.
Not only her, but Sun Yingsha is also terrifying, thinking that a five-year-old girl has already started practicing table tennis before she officially starts school.
At that age, most of the children were playing with toys, being spoiled, and enjoying a childhood without worries. But she chose to be with the little white ball, day after day, year after year, tirelessly standing by the table, practicing serving and receiving.
Even if the lights went out, she wouldn't leave. She never relaxed, three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, bitter with tears, but she never chose to give up.
"You're growing up so fast. Someone said to her. But she sighed: "Alas, it's not enough...... Yes, Sun Yingsha knows that she is not proud of her achievements.
Her motto is: Step off the podium and start from scratch. Every step of her is the footprint of struggle, the crystallization of blood and sweat.
Thinking about Sun Yingsha's career, it's like a legend.
She made her double-crown debut and landed in the world ranking No. 10 in just 21 days. In '19, she jumped to second place in the world. In 21 years, she overtook in the corners with her own strength and entered the Olympic singles one cycle ahead of schedule.
In 22 years, she became the number one in the world. In the past 23 years, it has been the world's first leader in faults. Yes, she is the real fault number one. However, behind these glamour, there are countless bitterness and pain.
Whenever she recalls the difficult days of the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha can't help but feel heartache. That year, at the age of 21, she was under tremendous pressure in the face of ridicule and doubts from the whole network.
Who would have imagined that under such circumstances, she would still be able to withstand the pressure to go to the Olympic arena without losing a game? In 21 years, Sun Yingsha did not have a head coach, but she never complained.
She still consciously watches videos, trains alone, picks up balls alone, and rides to various places to play alone. In the most difficult moment, in the face of an interview with reporters, she would only choke up and say: "This year is good, right......"
Her hands, which have been deformed and calloused because of her long-term grip on the racket, often bruises and blackened her nails, and her calves, which are bruised all year round, because she needs to stomp her feet to exert force when serving.
These, for her, are very ordinary. We feel distressed to see it, but she never complains, she thinks it's all worth it.
Sun Yingsha always puts the honor of the motherland in the first place and regards it as an honor to work all year round. She said that the champion could not be hers, but it had to be Chinese.
From the Tokyo Olympics, to the Hangzhou Asian Games, to the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, every time she was ordered in danger, she never disappointed the motherland and won the honor that belonged to the motherland.
Perhaps, some girls are made of sweet things like candy and cheese. But some girls are bravely carved into their backbones and freely integrated into their blood.
Sun Yingsha is such a girl. Her story tells us that behind success, there are often countless times of sweat and pain. Her spirit deserves to be learned and respected by each of us.
So, let's pay tribute to Sun Yingsha and Liu Shiwen! Their story is not only a legend, but also a spiritual inheritance. May their dreams be fulfilled and may their footprints always shine!
