30 years ago, a "Yo Xi" made Koyama Zhili still infamy

In table tennis, a sport known as the "national sport", countless outstanding athletes have won honor for the country, and their names have been forever engraved in the annals of Chinese sports.

However, there are also some athletes who have become the focus of public controversy because of certain choices or behaviors.

Today, what we want to tell is such a story - a "Yo Xi" 30 years ago made Xiaoshan Zhili (formerly known as He Zhili) still bear infamy.

1. Ping Pong Rising Star: The Rise of He Zhili

Back in the 80s of the last century, it was an era when table tennis was shining and attracting much attention in China. As China's "national sport", table tennis not only has a broad mass base in China, but also has repeatedly achieved good results on the international stage and won countless honors for the country. In this context, a young girl named He Zhili quietly emerged, and with her extraordinary table tennis talent and unremitting efforts, she quickly attracted widespread attention in the domestic table tennis world.

He Zhili was born in an ordinary family, but she showed a strong interest in table tennis from an early age. She has a strong body, quick reflexes, and excellent hand-eye coordination, and these natural advantages make her walk more smoothly on the road of table tennis. However, instead of being complacent, she trained harder and continued to improve her skills.

In the hard training day after day, Ho Zhili gradually developed her own unique style of play. Her style of play is sharp and decisive, and her technique is well-rounded and masterful. Whether it is a forehand attack, a backhand push, a fast break, or a curve ball, she can use it freely and show a very high level of competition. Her outstanding performance was quickly recognized by her coach and teammates, and she earned her the nickname "Ping Pong Woman".

In major domestic competitions, He Zhili has won many honors with her outstanding performance. She not only achieved great results in various competitions, but also showed strong psychological quality and tenacious fighting spirit at critical moments. Her style of play and technical level have also been highly praised by peers at home and abroad. However, for Ho, these accolades and achievements are only part of her career, and she has bigger goals and dreams.

In the years that followed, Ho continued to challenge herself and strive to improve her competitive level. She has participated in a number of international competitions and achieved good results. Her outstanding performance has not only won honor for the Chinese table tennis team, but also won her more praise and respect personally. However, in this field full of competition and challenges, He Zhili also faces many difficulties and challenges. She needs to constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and setbacks in order to maintain her competitive form and achieve better results.

2. The international arena: glory and controversy coexist

As He Zhili's performance in the international arena has become more and more excellent, she has gradually become the core force of the Chinese table tennis team. However, just when her career was in full swing, a sudden controversy plunged her into the whirlpool of public opinion.

In 1987, the World Table Tennis Championships were held in New Delhi, India. In the women's singles final, He Zhili played against teammate Guan Jianhua. According to the arrangement of the national table tennis coaching staff at that time, in order to ensure that the gold medal was not lost, the coaching staff asked He Zhili to give the ball to Guan Jianhua in the game. However, He Zhili chose to refuse, she insisted on her style of play, and finally defeated Guan Jianhua and won the championship.

This move caused He Zhili to cause huge controversy in China. Some people think that she is a "traitor" who violates the team spirit and the arrangement of the coaching staff; There are also those who believe that she defended her dignity and honor and was a true warrior. In any case, this incident became a turning point in Ho's career.

3. Emotional entanglement: marrying away from Japan

In the midst of controversy and doubts, He Zhili gradually lost her foothold in China. Feeling lonely and helpless, she eventually chose to marry far away from Japan in search of new opportunities for life and development. In Japan, she changed her name to Tomori Koyama and continued to play table tennis, and soon became a leader in the Japanese table tennis world.

Fourth, back to the top: the shock of the Hiroshima Asian Games

In 1994, the women's singles table tennis final of the Hiroshima Asian Games kicked off in the spotlight. The two sides are Zhili Koyama and China's Deng Yaping. This match is not only a contest between two top players, but also a direct dialogue between the strength of table tennis between China and Japan.

During the game, Xiaoshan Zhili gave full play to her strength and experience, and made Deng Yaping tired with her sharp offensive and accurate landing points. In the end, she defeated Deng Yaping with a score of 3-1 and won the championship. In the emotional moment after winning the championship, Tomori Koyama couldn't help but shout "Yoxi" in Japanese to express her joy and excitement.

However, this "Yo Xi" caused an uproar in China. Many people believe that Koyama is insulting Chinese table tennis and the dignity of the Chinese people, and is a provocation and betrayal of China. Her behavior once again made her the focus of public controversy, and she was burdened with heavy infamy.

5. Controversy: Life after retirement

After retiring, Koyama did not stop her table tennis career. She continues to work as a table tennis coach and commentator in Japan and is actively involved in various table tennis promotion activities. However, no matter where she appears, there will be people who mention the "Yoxi" incident of that year, accusing and abusing her.

In the face of these controversies and doubts, Koyama did not choose to escape or remain silent. She courageously stood up to respond to these accusations, explaining her original intention and position. She said that she was simply expressing joy and excitement at the time, and did not have any intention of insulting or provocative. She hopes that everyone will understand and respect her choices and actions.

However, despite her responses and explanations, the accusations and invective against her did not stop. They bound her like an invisible shackle, making it impossible for her to escape the shadows and haunts of her past.

6. Reflection and enlightenment

Looking back on the experience of Tomoli Koyama, we can't help but think about a question: why did a simple "Yo Xi" cause such huge controversy and accusations? What kind of psychosocial and cultural phenomena are hidden behind this?

First of all, we should admit that sports competition itself is a process of competition and confrontation. In the process, athletes will put in great effort and sacrifice for the sake of victory. Therefore, it is completely understandable to express their joy and excitement when they achieve victory. However, in the eyes of some, such expressions may be perceived as provocations and insults to opponents, leading to controversy and accusations.

Second, we should also note that behind such controversies and accusations are also a reflection of the complex historical and cultural relations between China and Japan. As two countries that have had profound historical entanglements, the relationship between China and Japan has always been sensitive and complicated. As a result, any action involving sports competitions and athletes between the two countries is likely to be amplified and interpreted as a political and cultural confrontation between the two countries.

Finally, we should also recognize that as a public figure and athlete, Tomo-Koyama's actions and words do have a certain impact and exemplary effect on society. Therefore, she should be more cautious and position when expressing her emotions and positions
