Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Poplar is 38 years old. Although she failed to realize her dream in the table tennis arena, her perseverance in the unremitting pursuit of her dream has never changed.
After retiring, Poplar did not stop at the same place, but with the yearning for a happy life, he strode towards a new stage of life.
Just one summer day in 2021, a charismatic businessman appeared on the trajectory of Poplar's life. The meeting between the two was purely accidental, but it seems to have been predestined in the weaving of fate.
When they first met, the businessman was deeply impressed by the elegant and generous demeanor of the poplar, and took the initiative to pursue it with love.
Knowing that Poplar has an extraordinary love for table tennis, the clever businessman frequently invites her to join her in order to strengthen their relationship. Sure enough, on these occasions, the merchant was gradually attracted by Poplar's heroic skills, and his admiration for her was strengthened.
Gradually, under the sincere and enthusiastic pursuit of the businessman, Baiyang, who has been retired for many years, also opened the door to long-lost love and tasted the sweet taste again. In just one year, the two have entered the palace of marriage hand in hand, and started a new happy life with the blessings of relatives and friends.
Soon, a new life came to this warm little home. Today, Poplar is reunited with her husband and beloved son, enjoying a quiet and peaceful time. Although her dream of table tennis failed to come true, she already has a more valuable gift in life - a happy family.
A twist of fate
The past is like a rope, touching Poplar's memories of the national team years. She remembers those glorious days, when her dreams stood proudly in her heart, shining as bright as the sun.
However, it was at that energetic and energetic age that Poplar's table tennis career suffered an unpredictable twist of fate. A sweet relationship turned out to be a stumbling block to her career.
It all started with Poplar and Marlene falling in love. Marin was the star player of the national team at that time, with great skills and fame. When he first saw Poplar on the training ground, he was fascinated by the outstanding looks and temperament of this handsome girl.
With a tall figure and bright eyes and bright teeth, Poplar is simply a walking stunner. Ma Lin, who is single, sincerely hopes to form a relationship with her and develop an intimate relationship.
Cultivating a relationship is not something that can be achieved overnight, but through day after day of competition, the opportunities for the two to meet gradually increased. Ma Lin's sincere and enthusiastic personality gradually touched the heart of Baiyang.
Gradually, the simple friendship turned into a bad one, and the two established a romantic relationship. It's just that the national team at that time had clear regulations that strictly forbade players to fall in love. But at a young age, who can completely restrain the impulse of love? Although Poplar and Marin know that this is a road of violating discipline, they still disregard everything and decide to embark on this sweet journey.
At first, they were careful to avoid the eyes and ears of their teammates. But people in love often find it difficult to hide their joy completely in their hearts, and their words and deeds are always revealed.
Marin's game form has declined significantly, and she has frequently been out of order on the field, which has attracted the attention of the coaching staff. They secretly investigate and finally discover the romance between Poplar and Marin.
This was absolutely forbidden at the time! Under the system, no "distractions" were allowed to interfere with the athlete's concentration.
In the end, the national team made a shocking decision: to expel Poplar from the team! Poplar never imagined that the impulse of the moment would bring such a huge price to himself.
When she tearfully packed her bags and embarked on the journey home, her heart was full of mixed feelings and pain. And her relationship with Ma Lin has basically come to an end.
Join the national team and make your mark
Young and promising, with outstanding talents, this is the impression of Poplar in people's minds. Just how good is her table tennis talent? Let's go back to the time when Topol's table tennis career officially set sail.
Poplar has been fascinated by table tennis since she was a child, and when she was first introduced to the sport at the age of 5, it was as if she had a natural fit with it. At a young age, she was full of interest in the table tennis table, and her eyes were bright, as if she had glimpsed the glory of the future.
Seeing that she was so dedicated, her parents sent her to a local sports school, hoping that she could display her talents in professional and rigorous training.
Sure enough, under the careful guidance of coach Tang Yinsheng, Baiyang's skills improved rapidly, and he won the women's singles championship in the provincial competition with outstanding performance at the age of 10.
Showing amazing perseverance and determination from an early age, any training session is a precious opportunity in her eyes, never tired, and always with a burning desire for her dreams.
Only 3 years later, Poplar successfully joined the national team with an excellent record all the way, and finally stood on this long-awaited stage. After entering the national team, Poplar was not complacent, but trained more diligently and persistently pursued improvement.
Soon, she turned the tide for the national team on the international stage and won valuable honors for the country.
In 2000, Poplar fought tenaciously to defeat the ace Zhang Yining of the same team in a heavyweight match and won the women's singles championship. This is undoubtedly the best stepping stone for Poplar to become a first-team player.
Since then, she has lived up to expectations and achieved fruitful results in successive World Championships, including the first and second places in women's doubles and team events. In that flowery arena, the aspen is destined to burst out with the most dazzling light.
Poplar has become the brightest rising star in the Chinese table tennis world, with her slender wrists and red lips, she has won the reputation of "the goddess of national table tennis". This girl seems to be a goddess who has come out of mythology, and her delicate and moving face is all yearning.
I saw that she swayed freely, her limbs were plump and powerful, showing sincere beauty and infinite vitality.
The trough period after retirement
The once brilliant star of tomorrow has fallen into a low point in his career. Poplar was hit hard by the expulsion from the national team, and her heart seemed to be hollowed out by life, full of endless confusion and pain.
On the summer day she left the national team, Marin didn't show up to see her off, as he was fully engaged in preparing for the upcoming Athens Olympics. The relationship between the two also fell into coldness and slowly came to an end.
The pain of the breakup is like a shadow, and Poplar can only force his face to be happy and silently bear the inner trauma.
Former teammates and partners who share weal and woe are now shining in their own professional fields. And Poplar can only wander aimlessly, living a retired life day after day.
Sometimes she recalls the moments she spent with Marlene, where sweetness and bitterness were intertwined, making her unable to extricate herself.
In this difficult and confused time, Poplar once fell into a confused period of life.
The balance of the heart goes and goes, and Poplar sometimes regrets it, and sometimes feels that the original choice is understandable.
Conflicting thoughts swirled in Poplar's mind, and she often sat alone and meditated, rubbing her palms vigorously, as if she could grasp some answers.
In this way, Poplar survived several years of low ebb in self-doubt and struggle.
Fortunately, she did not give up her table tennis career, but found the strength to start again in the trough.
