Recently, Kong Linghui was met by fans at the airport, and it can be seen from the group photo that the temples of this former table tennis athlete have been dyed with frost, and the years have left a faint trace on his head.
Despite this, his overall condition seems to be maintaining quite well, and compared with his old friend Liu Guoliang, who fought side by side in the past, Kong Linghui does not show a middle-aged change in posture.
What is touching is that Kong Linghui, who is about to enter the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, is still alone, and when he travels, he is as usual, and he does not see his partner by his side.
Kong Linghui, this name, for many table tennis fans, is a memory of youth and a symbol of glory.
Back then, he defeated the world champion at the age of 15 and became famous in a fight, and his talent and hard work made countless people fall in love with him.
At just 25 years old, he has already stood on the highest podium of men's table tennis in the world and is the third hero to achieve the great cause of "Grand Slam".
At that time, he was in high spirits, and it seemed that the entire universe was under his control.
And fate is always full of variables.
When Kong Linghui was in the prime of his 32-year-old life, a sudden change made him suddenly dragged down from the altar of much attention.
In the turmoil about "D-Bo", although Kong Linghui claimed that he was only a bystander and had not been involved in gambling, as a party member and public official, his appearance on the D-field had violated strict party discipline and state law.
In the end, he had to accept the fate of being dismissed by the national table tennis.
The sudden drop from the peak of glory to the trough is an unbearable weight for anyone.
But Kong Linghui, the former king, chose to suffer in silence.
He didn't justify too much, nor did he complain too much, he just faced it all in his own way.
Perhaps, deep in his heart, he still retains his love and dedication to table tennis, but the cruelty of reality makes him have to temporarily let go of this love.
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Kong Linghui is nearly fifty years old.
Over the past few years, he has experienced countless twists and turns.
Liu Guoliang, the former old partner, has become the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, but he himself is still wandering on the road of life.
In the silence of the night, the stars twinkled, did he occasionally think of that glorious past?
Will you miss the self who sweated so the court?
However, life always goes on.
Although Kong Linghui has left the table tennis world, he has not given up the pursuit of life.
Rumor has it that he once considered switching careers to the purple clay pot field, hoping to realize his value in another way.
Some people also speculate that the reason why he refused the invitation to return to the national table tennis as a coach was because he still had a grudge against the turmoil that year.
But no matter what, we can't deny Kong Linghui's love and dedication to table tennis.
This passion is deeply ingrained in his heart and has become an inseparable part of his life.
In addition to the twists and turns in his career, Kong Linghui's love life is also quite bumpy.
The love between him and actress Ma Su was once a model in the eyes of everyone, and the two have gone through 11 years of ups and downs together.
Unfortunately, this relationship ended in separation, which was unbearable pain for Kong Linghui.
Now in his fifties, he is still alone, which makes his parents and fans anxious and worried about him.
But Kong Linghui did not give up his confidence in life because of this.
Despite all the challenges, he embraces every dawn with a positive attitude.
Passionate about sports, exploring the world, and caring for public welfare, he spreads positive energy and infects the people around him through his actions.
His story tells us that no matter how difficult and frustrating we encounter, we must never give up our love and pursuit of life.
Of course, for Kong Linghui, the glory days of table tennis are gone.
But the legend he created will forever remain in the long river of history and in the hearts of fans.
Whenever his name is mentioned, people's minds will think of the fearless "Prince of Table Tennis" on the table tennis table and his indelible and outstanding contributions to the field of Chinese table tennis.
This honor and admiration was won by him with his hard work and unremitting efforts, and it was the reward he deserved.
Now, Kong Linghui has entered a new chapter in his life, no longer the "Prince of Ping Pong" who was infinitely beautiful on the table tennis table back then, but has transformed into a calm, wise, and experienced middle-aged gentleman.
He used his own experience to tell us: life is like a marathon, there is laughter when leading, there are struggles when lagging behind, but as long as we love life and continue to pursue, we can compose our own brilliant music!
