Chen Xingtong's status and future choices in national table tennis have become the focus of attention. On the world's top women's table tennis team, she faced a career dilemma that she had never seen before.
Compared with a generation of rookies such as Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong is indeed at a disadvantage. After a brief appearance in the Grand Slam, she quickly faded away, a direct reflection of the reality that she is gradually losing ground in the fierce competition.
Expectations for China's best athletes are always high at home and abroad, but Chen Xingtong seems to be getting farther and farther away from the next Olympics – and her position is particularly awkward compared to Chen Meng, who has a few more years to fight at the top, and other young contenders: there is no breakthrough in technology, and her form is becoming more and more challenging.
At the moment, many opinions suggest that she go abroad to play and seek a breakthrough on a broader stage. However, not everyone can succeed in this path: there are many factors to consider, such as cultural differences, language communication, adaptation and many other challenges.
It is indeed a path for national table tennis players to develop and play abroad or to play on behalf of different countries. However, the level of achievement like Chen Xingtong is rare to really go overseas for development. With more and more exchange opportunities in national table tennis, the threshold for playing abroad is no longer so unattainable, but is it appropriate?
In response to such a problem, the cute sports world has seen hope. Recent news shows that Chen Xingtong has been admitted as a doctoral student at Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, showing a new direction of development. In every sense of the word, it's probably more important than dwelling on every ball, every game. It is not a wise choice to learn from Ding Ning, the predecessor of national table tennis, to set your sights on the long-term future, improve yourself through education, and open up a second career.
Switching to the field of education can redefine Chen Xingtong's standard of "success". Whether it is becoming a sports administrator, standing in the lecture hall to guide latecomers, or even participating in public welfare activities to spread the charm of table tennis, she can maintain her enthusiasm for life and motivation for her career.
Although the decision to retire is always difficult, especially for an athlete who has stood at the top of table tennis. But the meaning of life is not only a small table tennis table, there is always a stage for her in the vast world. In ending his professional state and bravely opening a new chapter, we are optimistic about Chen Xingtong's future. After all, the real victors are those who can get back up in the face of defeat and find a new way to move on.
