Controversy has never been absent from the world of sports, and today, we are going to talk about a topic that has been widely discussed - the identity of naturalized players Tomokazu Haramoto and Miwa Haramoto. In sports, naturalized athletes are always in the spotlight, but when an athlete claims to be proud of beating his former compatriots, such behavior inevitably leads to controversy.
Changing their names and surnames, vowing to defeat their former comrades-in-arms, and standing on the side of the Japanese team, the choice of Zhang Ben's family is undoubtedly a sensitive topic, and some people even question whether such a person can still be accepted back to his family tree? Is he still qualified to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors?
When the time of the Qingming Festival came, an unexpected topic appeared on social media - it is rumored that when the Zhang family planned to return to Sichuan to remember their ancestors, they were unexpectedly turned away. Although the authenticity of this news needs to be verified, it is unwavering that Zhang Ben's family did not embark on the journey back to Sichuan, but devoted themselves to the preparation for the WTT Singles World Cup held in Macau. **As for why he has not returned to Sichuan for a long time to worship his ancestors, and whether he has been boycotted and ostracized as rumored on the Internet, there has been no definite response.
There is no doubt that judging from the many incidents in which Tomokazu Zhang has publicly stated that he plays for Japan, he seems to be doing his best to prove his loyalty to Japan, and every time he faces the Chinese table tennis team, he is always full of passion and plays like he is full of fighting hormones. In the final competition of the 2018 World Table Tennis Championships, after Tomokazu Zhang defeated the national table tennis team, he loudly announced: "I am happy to beat the Chinese team, I am excited to play against them, and I want to win glory for Japan." ”
Her sister Miwa Zhangmoto, who took over the heater at the WTT event in Nagoya, made China's Sun Yingsha feel cold, and the scene seemed to be a bit selfish and unfriendly. These behaviors all show that the Zhang family, under the influence of their parents, has made unremitting efforts for the victory of Japanese table tennis, and does not shy away from their own position.
The question then arises: **Since the Zhang Ben family has been completely naturalized, what does it mean for them to return to Sichuan to worship their ancestors? Is it the pursuit of roots and origins, or the disintegration of identity?**Being in a foreign country, running for a livelihood and career, this is understandable, however, ignoring the roots and ancestors, this is where the bottom line of morality really comes in.
Clearly saying that he is no longer Chinese and portraying himself as a man of the "Reiwa era", Zhang Benzhihe's emotional focus is obviously no longer in Sichuan. In this situation, will the villagers in Sichuan welcome this grandson, who no longer belongs to China, to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors?
The details and stats of the game always tell the tip of the iceberg of competitive form. At Tomokazu Zhangmoto's WTT Singles World Cup in Macau, which brought glory to Japan, we saw his unabated flame of competition. But behind these figures, there are deeper cultural and identity choices.
In the end, the controversy and discussion raised in this article stem from a topic that has never faded away: what is a sense of belonging, what is identity, and this is not only the choice of Zhang Ben's family, but also the problem faced by many athletes and individuals in foreign countries and cultural backgrounds.
The entanglement between identity and culture may last a lifetime, but it is also an eternal topic in the world of sports. Every contest in the sports arena is not only a contest of skill and physical strength, but also a game of national honor and personal belief.
