In the table tennis arena of the Tokyo Olympic Games, there are a total of 35 Chinese players among the 93 participating players, and if you are not in the territory of the devil, you may have the illusion of a domestic table tennis competition in a trance.
In fact, in the 1980s, with the emergence of the Chinese table tennis team, this sport, which originated in Britain and flourished in Europe, will become the world of the Chinese people in a few decades, and even rise to the status of "national ball".
Since the 1980s, due to too many top table tennis players in China, a master spillover has quickly formed under the serious internal roll of talents, and the protagonist of today's article, He Zhili, is a former Chinese table tennis player.
However, the Chinese people are full of controversy about her gambling and marrying Japan, especially the match in which she defeated Deng Yaping on behalf of the Japanese team, the whole scene was her crazy "Yo Xi" shouts, especially her interview with the Japanese media after winning the game, and it was even more disregarding national feelings.
Since then, she has begun to bear the insult of "traitor", and now after being betrayed by her Japanese husband, she has returned to her mother country several times without children, claiming that she will never marry a Japanese man again, and wants to find a Chinese man to marry.
Come, let's get closer to her history together...
01, "let the ball" storm
In 2008, thirty years after the reform and opening up, a publication in the south conducted a survey under the title of "30 Chinese in your heart to influence the times", and the result was that He Zhili, a former national table tennis player, was at the top of the list.
Because, she changed from He Zhili to Xiaoshan Zhili.
On September 30, 1964, He Zhili was born in the bustling metropolis of Shanghai.
In 1982, at the age of 18, He Zhili won the national women's singles championship.
This year, Deng Yaping, who was just 9 years old, won the table tennis women's singles championship in the amateur sports school divisional competition.
In the following years, He Zhili won the Asian championship and the team championship of the 38th World Table Tennis Championships with the courage of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
At that time, He Zhili was known for her fierce and tenacious playing style, she was good at the right hand horizontal grip of the racket two-sided arc circle of play, after repeated achievements in the word of mouth rose sharply, so He Zhili's life dream is getting higher and higher.
The moment had come to change the trajectory of her life.
In 1987, the 39th World Table Tennis Championships were held in New Delhi, the "Three Brothers".
At the time of eight into four, He Zhili's opponent was his own Chen Jing, when He Zhili went to the next city first, Chen Jing began to strictly implement the arrangement of the coaching team to "let the ball", and soon "lost" to He Zhili smoothly.
Han Lingzi
In the next championship, the Chinese team had three members of he zhili, Guan Jianhua and Dai Lili entering the final four, while another Korean player, Han Lingzi, also entered the final four in the case of a cloud of masters, trying to prevent the gold medal from falling to our family.
After the grouping of the final four, He Zhili played against Guan Jianhua, and Dai Lili played against the "lonely" Han Lingzi.
Before the two groups of players fought each other, the goal of striving to win the gold medal became the only choice for the Chinese coaching team.
Originally, the coaching team was saddled with the huge pressure of "vowing to win the gold medal and promote the prestige of our country" before going abroad, and now that three Chinese players have entered the final four and then fail to win the gold medal, they will "have no face to see Jiangdong's father and elder" after returning home.
Therefore, how to improve the insurance coefficient of winning the gold medal has become the first choice of the coaching team, and before the game, it can only be assumed that Han Lingzi successfully advanced to the final after defeating China's Dai Lili, then there is an opportunity to control.
The question is very simple, that is, whether the other group let He Zhili or Guan Jianhua play Han Lingzi, it has become a problem that the coaching team can consider, because he Zhili has been defeated by Han Lingzi in the past game, so the coaching team finally decided to let Guan Jianhua "win".
Well, since it was decided that after Guan Jianhua won, it would be necessary to fight Against Han Lingzi, who may enter the final, then it was necessary to order He Zhili to "give the ball", and the coaching staff before the game also conveyed the opinion of "organization" to He Zhili.
In the 1980s, the values that society followed were still the national interest and the collective interest above all else, so there were individual "extreme" situations.
The game began, He Zhili, who received the "order" to let the ball, had a hundred unwillingness, and in her heart she fully possessed the strength to win the championship after defeating Han Lingzi, not to mention that "my life dream is also to win the championship by strength." ”
Therefore, He Zhili decided to win by her ability.
In addition, Guan Jianhua, who is He Zhili's opponent, also received a notice from the coaching team, "After He Zhili let the ball, you are responsible for playing Han Lingzi and striving for the gold medal." ”
Therefore, Guan Jianhua was a little dizzy after playing, perhaps she was immersed in the highlight moment of walking on the world's highest podium and could not extricate herself, or felt that the iron would definitely "lie down and win" this game, anyway, she quickly lost the whole game in the fainting.

Guan Jianhua
He Zhili won Guan Jianhua, there was no half applause, when she looked back at the audience, she found that there was no one in the entire coaching staff, although she was a little frightened, but she had to grit her teeth and stick to her dream.
In another semi-final, Dai Lili lost to Han Lingzi.
Next, no matter what, the coaching team has to accept the fact that He Zhili is playing Han Lingzi, because the facts under the spotlight are there, and even if you consider the interests of a certain aspect, it is a matter of "under the table".
Perhaps it was He Zhili's self-confidence that saved her, she successfully defeated Han Lingzi in the competition, and it is said that when she looked back at the stands, no one watched and congratulated her.
He Zhili won, but she had to pay the price for her "unorganized and undisciplined" and even change the trajectory of her life.
02, "gambling gas" to go abroad
After this "let the ball" storm, He Zhili's situation in the national team can be imagined, although I did not see her specific encounter, but I believe that her surroundings must be less concerned about a lot of friends.
After returning to China, the coaching staff urged her to be severely punished, but was stopped by higher leaders, and I think the reason is very simple, "Her self-assertion won the game after all, and the logical thinking that facts are better than eloquence cannot be changed." ”
Time flies, and Ho feels an invisible pressure in the midst of depression and shadow, and although she is ranked first in the world after winning the World Table Tennis Championships in New Delhi, her ranking results seem to be rarely mentioned.
At the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, this was the first time that table tennis had become an Olympic event, so all table tennis powers were gearing up to strive for better and higher world rankings for the country and individuals.
In He Zhili's heart, "The national team has a quota that should also be mine, because I rank first." ”
However, she was disappointed that she was not at all among the three female table tennis players who eventually competed in the Seoul Olympics, and Chen Jing, who was not ranked as her in the world, won the table tennis women's singles championship at the Olympic Games.
This Olympic Games, China has only won five gold medals.
Chen Jing
He Zhili, on the other hand, was full of mixed feelings, and in her heart she was sure that she would be able to win the gold medal when she participated in the Olympic Games, but because of some factors, she could not realize her life dreams, and He Zhili must have had some kind of "hatred" idea.
It was also this year that Deng Yaping, who was only 15 years old, walked into the door of the national team with a backpack.
At the end of 1988, Deng Yaping, the "Great Devil" who was not long ago, won the championship in the Asian Cup by defeating The runner-up winner of the Seoul Olympic Games, Lee Hui-fen, with a "decisive" personality and a sharp attack.
Since then, the world table tennis world will open a decade-long "Deng Yaping era", she will win her honor with the terrifying "big devil"-style smash of her opponents, and engrave her name forever in the heroic book in the history of world table tennis.
However, there is one person who is entangled, distressed and confused, and she is the 24-year-old "marginal figure" He Zhili, who has no idea where her life direction and hope are next.
Deng Yaping
At the beginning of 1989, He Zhili, who had "no games to play", announced her retirement, and it was at this most confusing moment that she met another key man who changed the trajectory of her life, he was Hideyuki Oyama, a Japanese.
Shortly thereafter, He Zhili announced that she would marry Hideyuki Oyama and become a Japanese citizen, and she also followed the Japanese custom and changed her name to Tomoyuki Koyama.
Since then, she has become a Japanese de jure, while China has become her birthplace and mother country.
03, shout "Yo West"
The word "yosai" in the mouth of the Japanese devil is not unfamiliar to the people of japan who have been trampled by the iron hooves of Japanese militarism, and these two words have made countless people have memories of hatred and will always remember.
However, even if someone uses these two words to unveil the painful historical scars of the nation and sprinkle salt on the scars, she is Tomori Koyama who is about to "return the king".
In 1989, after He Zhili married Xiao Shanying, she had a comfortable life, although there were cultural differences, but after all, the freshness of male and female love could temporarily prevent some dirty vices.
What's more, He Zhili was not an ordinary person at that time, she was the number one person in the women's table tennis world ranking, which was undoubtedly of extraordinary significance to the Japanese who had been suppressed by the Chinese table tennis team for many years.
Therefore, her marriage has attracted wide attention from the Japanese media, and has received support for her sports career at the national level, coupled with the special historical relationship between the two countries, which has made Little Japan have an inexplicable motivation and self-congratulation for the cultivation of her.
Since 1992, Tomoi Oyama has officially made a comeback and begun to train with Japanese athletes, and her high level will undoubtedly greatly improve the overall level of the Japanese team, and at the same time inspire her to strive for the glory of "her own country Japan", and her mentality has also begun to change.
In her heart at that time, it was a natural and glorious thing to represent the Japanese team and fight for the honor of her country.
This day has finally arrived. From this day on, her reputation will be saddled with the insult of "traitor", although she has ten thousand reasons to do so, but the fact that she has Chinese blood flowing on her body cannot be changed.
In October 1994, the Asian Games in Hiroshima, Japan, and Tomori Oyama was about to win glory for her country "on her home", in fact, she had already been rubbing her fists because she needed a victory too much to "prove her value to Japan and make her former coaches regret it."
To put it bluntly, she played in the Asian Games to defeat Chinese, because only by defeating China's best table tennis players can she complete her "two goals".
Before the game, she also gave an exclusive interview to Japanese television, and she "complained" about the unfair treatment she had been treated in a tone of emotion.
Maybe it was Xiaoshan Zhili who "played chicken blood", or the "hatred" in her heart that made her open up the second pulse of Ren Dou, anyway, she was like a god in the competition, first defeating The Seoul Olympic champion Chen Jing, and then defeating the world's second-ranked Qiao Hong to reach the final.
On the day of the final, the crowds were empty, the audience was full, and the documentary was repeatedly played on the big screen before the game, in which the footage of Tomori Koyama winning the world championship in New Delhi was wearing the Chinese flag to receive the award.
In the video broadcast, the Japanese announcer from time to time introduced the history of Tomori Oyama, "She is from China, once won the World Championships..."
Eventually, the announcer will consciously emphasize why she married to Japan, implying that she likes Japan but does not like her home country, and this kind of ideological preference is really a wolf's heart.
The game began, Andoyama Zhili played against Deng Yaping, who was in the limelight, perhaps the advantage psychology of Xiaoshan Zhili's home battle, resulting in Deng Yaping's fast attack style being completely suppressed by Xiaoshan Zhili.
During the game, whenever Tomori Koyama wins a ball, she will frantically shout "Yosai", and at the same time, the stands will cheer once, and these two "Yosai", which make the devils extremely self-deprecating, also cross the entire East Sea and stab the painful memories of countless Chinese people.
As a result, the audience in China was full of scolding.
What is even more infuriating is that when Tomori Oyama won the final competition, she not only gave up her native language to speak in crappy Japanese, but also said a sentence that she is not willing to forgive today: "I am happier to win the game for Japan than to win the game for China!" ”
Next, Oyama's aura of life was like an opening, not only was he received by the Japanese Emperor three times, but the emperor also said in an ulterior motive, "Tomori Oyama is the champion that China has cultivated for Japan." ”
04, want to marry a Chinese man
In the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Koyama Zhili, who wanted to continue to be brilliant, was already in decline, and as a result, she was firmly blocked by China's Qiao Hong with a beautiful 3:0 outside the gate of the quarterfinals.
When her career began to decline, she suddenly found that her husband Hideyuki Oyama and her female colleagues "had a leg", so she fell into a painful state of insomnia and could not extricate herself.
Before she decided to divorce Hideyuki Koyama, she made another mistake of not saying anything.
Qiao Hong and Deng Yaping
In the face of interviews with Japanese reporters, she began to accuse her husband's family of not being a "terrible family", and she completely forgot that she had said "Sino-Japanese Friendship House" when she first married into Oyama Hideya.
Eventually, she divorced in 2000 and received 6.5 million yen in compensation. After the divorce, Tomori Koyama moved out of Hideyuki Koyama's home with simple luggage, and she seemed extremely lonely because she did not have children.
No matter how to change her name, Tomori Koyama's connections in Japan are extremely rare, coupled with the fact that the Japanese are not very friendly to the Japanese people, and their national self-confidence that they do not know where they come from, resulting in a very small range of activities.
Therefore, in addition to being a table tennis coach in a club, she has no circle of friends who are physically and mentally happy, and she cannot find the other half of her life.
Hideyuki Koyama
In May 2005, Tomoi Oyama was invited by the Organizing Committee of the World Table Tennis Championships and the China Table Tennis Association to attend the 48th World Championships held in Shanghai.
In recent years, Tomori Koyama is well aware of the harm caused to the People of China by her own verbal behavior, and also knows the name of "traitor" given to her by the People, although she has expressed remorse, she still has palpitations and does not dare to appear in public in China.
This time, after receiving the official invitation, she can finally return to her hometown of Shanghai in a fair and bright way, and publicly appear as an "overseas emissary", which is a very meaningful thing for her.
In recent years, Tomori Koyama's work has been running back and forth between Shanghai and Osaka, but most of the time she still lives in Shanghai to accompany her mother, after all, Shanghai is her childhood memory and blood thicker than water relationship.
Today, she is single, and although her mother has repeatedly urged her to find another one, the 57-year-old has long had the ideal goal of choosing a mate: "Never look for a Japanese, I hope to find a Chinese man to marry." ”
Finally, Tomori Koyama revealed a new mate selection criteria:
One is loyal and reliable; the second is to be considerate of herself; the third is not to look too ugly; the fourth is that the person is a little taller than her; the fifth is the best Shanghainese; the sixth is that she is 10 years older than her; and the seventh is that it is best to have a foreign passport.
