Speaking of Zhang Jike, he is definitely a representative of a good card played poorly.
As the overlord of the table tennis world, his name was a symbol of strength, and he was even more frightening on the field.
But as a man, he still couldn't resist his selfish desires.
Gambling habits, chaotic private life, and even in order to pay off gambling debts, Jing Tian's private photos were directly used as bargaining chips for transactions.
How on earth was such an out-and-out scumbag allowed to appear in this world?
Now after many years, looking back at Zhang Jike's life, the two women he destroyed have long become what he can't climb!
Childhood sweetheart Liu Shiwen
Zhang Jike and Liu Shiwen's first love is full of sweetness and regret, they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
In 2002, 14-year-old Zhang Jike entered the national second team, and in the same year, he won three gold medals in men's singles, men's doubles and men's team at the World Junior Challenge.
The following year, he successfully entered the national first team, and became the key training object of national table tennis together with Ma Long of the same age.
In 2004, 13-year-old Liu Shiwen entered the national second team from Guangzhou, and met Zhang Jike.
These two people with completely different personalities actually became good friends.
Liu Shiwen will share her little secret with Zhang Jike, and although Zhang Jike doesn't talk much, he silently guards her like a big brother.
However, this childhood friendship suffered a huge change in late 2004, when Zhang Jike was expelled from the national team for violating team rules, reportedly because of gambling.
This incident brought a big blow to Zhang Jike, he even thought about giving up table tennis, during this sad time, Liu Shiwen has been encouraging him and sending him a message, hoping that he can persevere and not give up his dream.
With the dual support of his parents and Liu Shiwen, Zhang Jike regained his confidence and embarked on the road of chasing his dreams again.
In 2006 he reached the quarter-finals of the National Championships and returned to the national team.
Zhang Jike was 18 years old when he returned to the national team, and Ma Long, who once entered the first team with him, has now become a world champion.
Liu Shiwen has long been in the national first team, and won the women's singles championship in the National Championships in 2007.
The relationship was difficult from the start.
Zhang Jike's parents didn't agree with the two being together, thinking that falling in love might affect Zhang Jike's table tennis career, and they also felt that Liu Shiwen was a little shorter.
The national team also has strict rules on the love between players, and this is not allowed to happen, and former national table tennis players, such as Liu Guoliang and Ma Lin, have been punished for love.
Under multiple pressures, Zhang Jike and Liu Shiwen had to hide this relationship and make it a secret that could not be made public, and they secretly kept this relationship for fear of being discovered.
Even the closest teammates may not know about the relationship between them. Despite the obstacles they faced, both men made significant progress in their careers.
In 2009, Liu Shiwen won the World Cup women's singles championship, and Zhang Jike also won his first world championship in the same year, which was the World Cup men's team champion.
Both of them have become the key training objects of national table tennis, and the future is bright, but as the status of the two in the national team becomes more and more important, their relationship is becoming more and more difficult to hide.
In the end, this relationship was discovered, and all kinds of pressure followed, and for the sake of their careers, the two finally chose to break up.
and Jing Tian's "seeing the light and dying" love
Just when the "Kewen" party was still looking forward to Zhang Jike and Liu Shiwen getting back together, at the beginning of 2018, Zhang Jike wrote the letters "KT" in the snow and hinted that netizens represented a relationship that was about to be made public.
Soon, netizens picked up the meaning of "KT" - Jing Tian.
Previously, Zhang Jike and Jing Tian were photographed traveling together, and Zhang Jike also followed Jing Tian's social media account and put it to the top.
On March 28, 2018, Zhang Jike and Jing Tian officially announced their relationship, and as soon as the news came out, they immediately topped the hot search list.
The love affair between a sports star and a popular flower has attracted widespread attention, and this beautiful relationship is like fireworks, although gorgeous but very short-lived.
But a year later, the two announced a friendly breakup, and there were different opinions about the reasons for the breakup. Some people speculate that it is Jing Tian's background problem, and some people think that it is Zhang Jike's personality problem.
Some people even suspect that this relationship has been a cooperation for their own interests from the beginning, Jing Tian needs to wash away his negative rumors, and Zhang Jike hopes to enter the entertainment industry with this.
After this relationship ended, Zhang Jike's negative news began to gradually surface, which also laid the groundwork for a bigger turmoil in the future......
Zhang Jike fell from the altar
After Zhang Jike and Jing Tian broke up, his public image slowly deteriorated, and he was once the pride of national table tennis and was known as the "Tibetan Mastiff", but now he is frequently caught in negative news.
The first is the rampant rumors of gambling.
In 2004, Zhang Jike was expelled from the national team for violating team rules, and there were rumors at the time that it was related to gambling, but it has not been confirmed.
Now, as he fades out of the ring, more news about his gambling habits has begun to circulate, and these rumors are hard to distinguish between true and false, and they have indeed had a great negative impact on his image.
Zhang Jike's private life also began to be questioned by the public, and the scandals with many actresses made his image of "big carrot" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 2016, the scandal between him and actress Yuan Shanshan caused a stir, although both parties denied it, various rumors and photos are still circulating on the Internet.
In 2020, Zhang Jike and Jin Chen participated in a love variety show together, and the interaction between the two in the show attracted a lot of attention, but in the end it did not develop into a real relationship.
Jin Chen's evaluation of Zhang Jike in the show was not high, which further deepened the public's negative impression of Zhang Jike.
What really pushed Zhang Jike into the whirlpool of public opinion was the "private photo incident" exposed at the end of 2019.
I heard that Zhang Jike owed a lot of money because of gambling, and even gave the private video of his ex-girlfriend Jing Tian to the creditor to pay off the debt.
After Jing Tian called the police, the truth of the incident gradually surfaced, Zhang Jike's image completely collapsed, and many brands terminated their contracts with him, and he faced huge public opinion pressure and economic difficulties.
The reason why the two broke up is also explained here, and the former table tennis overlord has now become the target of public criticism.
And the two women who have been in love with him have long become what he can't climb.
Liu Shiwen is now a famous and powerful predecessor in the table tennis world, and some time ago in the table tennis field, she also made the opening of the final day for the women's singles, and she also achieved good results as a participant.
Jing Tian even became a popular traffic flower with "Sito".
One final word
Although Zhang Jike now has a family, the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges.
In any case, Zhang Jike needs to be responsible for his own life and pay for his mistakes, and he needs to use sincerity and hard work to win the public's understanding and regain social recognition.
