Speaking of sports, China's table tennis in the world sports world is like American basketball with absolute dominance, countless times of domination of table tennis projects, so that the world recognizes China's strength.
However, there is no eternal "ruler", just at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen missed the gold medal in the mixed doubles of table tennis, and as early as 26 years ago, Japan's Tomori Oyama defeated the world's no. 1 Chinese player Deng Yaping.
But this Tomoya Koyama was an authentic Shanghainese native of China many years ago, undergoing the cultivation and training of Chinese coaches, but finally "defected" to Japan and became the number one seed of Japanese women.
At that time, as long as the name Tomori Koyama was mentioned, everyone was scornful, and she was like a street rat in Chinese's heart. She forgot where she was born and raised, what made her leave China for Japan? And why did she give up her Chinese citizenship to join Japan? Is she living the life she wants now and for almost 30 years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > not arrogant and hard-working, the birth of a talented table tennis player:</h1>
The protagonist of today's story is called Toshiri Koyama, whose original name is He Zhili, born on September 30, 1964 in Shanghai, China, his parents are businessmen unlike the general sports family, and he has a strong athletic talent from an early age.
He Zhili is a child who is born with a love for table tennis, and since childhood, other people's children have held children's toys and dolls, but He Zhili is waving back and forth with a racket.
From childhood contact with table tennis and showed a good talent for table tennis, parents saw that the young He Zhili so fond of table tennis began to train her for professional table tennis training, under ten years of hard training, in the childhood He Zhili won the Chinese table tennis youth group of a number of tournament champions, small fame she was valued by the coach of the national team and invited her to enter the Chinese table tennis national team.
After entering the national team, He Zhili cherished this hard-won opportunity, because in a country like China and table tennis as a national ball, it must make great efforts to win the championship in the table tennis event, and in the next few years, He Zhili trained day and night, delving into table tennis skills to watch the video of the world championships.
After winning the first women's table tennis singles national championship in 1982, He Zhili was not proud after winning the championship, but settled down to continue to work hard, and won the Asian championship in 1984.
Everyone knows that this time is China's reform and opening up period, China's economic strength has been greatly enhanced, then the most needed is to obtain the recognition of the world's countries, the simplest is to let the world see China's strength, the olympic gold medal is also directly linked to the national strength of the country.
Fortunately, China's athletes did not let the country lose people, He Zhili is one of them in 1985 at the World Table Tennis Championships He Zhili represented China to win the women's singles gold medal, in 1987 when new Delhi held the World Table Tennis Championships unsurprisingly won the championship, it is undeniable that He Zhili did bring Chinese table tennis to the world stage to let the world see China's strength, but just when everyone was proud of He Zhili, An accident caused the talented table tennis player to leave his hometown.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > refused to obey, and the angry rebuke of his superiors eventually went to Japan to become Japanese nationals:</h1>
He Zhili's table tennis career in China can be described as soaring, but it seems that it is the prevention of heaven that makes her end her Chinese table tennis career early.
In 1987, in the competition in New Delhi, the superiors decided to let He Zhili deliberately lose to the same team's Guan Jianhua in the game to increase the probability of winning the championship, he Zhili had lost to the Famous South Korean Liang Yingzi, but Guan Jianhua was able to restrain Liang Yingzi.
However, He Zhili did not listen to the direct 3-0 sweep of Guan Jianhua, and crushed Liang Yingzi in the final to "avenge the snow hate", although the final result is good but the process is equally important, it is because of this "impulse" that He Zhili was banned and disqualified from participating in the 1988 Seoul Seoul Seoul Olympic Games.
You said that an athlete will participate in several Olympic Games in his lifetime, and this decision makes He Zhili unable to accept the final choice.
In 1988, when his teammates were participating in the Olympic Games, He Zhili was idle at home, which was unacceptable to a flesh-and-blood athlete, although such a decision by the superior made a regular athlete unacceptable, but because the veteran of South Korea at that time, Liang Yingzi, was indeed outstanding.
And if this medal is seized by South Korea, the impact on China's development is huge, He Zhili only thinks from the perspective of an athlete, and the leadership is considered in the interests of a country, so He Zhili really has to bear the relative consequences for the mistakes he has made.
In the following year, because of he Zhili's mistake, the sports resources given to her by the national team were greatly reduced, and the degree of attention was also relatively reduced. In the end, He Zhili chose to leave China and quit the Chinese table tennis industry, and at that time, He Zhili met a Japanese engineer named Hideyuki Oyama, and in a short period of time, the two developed a mutual admiration, and after getting married on October 1 of the same year, He Zhili followed her husband Hideyuki Oyama to Japan.
A few months later, she became a Japanese citizen and changed her name to Tomori Oyama. He Zhili because of the natural love is not willing to give up their favorite table tennis career, and finally picked up the table tennis racket again, with the support of her husband Hideyuki Oyama, He Zhili began her table tennis career in Japan, began to play from the simplest league, slowly played a famous hall step by step, caused quite a stir in the Japanese table tennis industry, soon the Japanese table tennis national team invited her sincerely, He Zhili also did not hesitate to join the Japanese national team.
After joining the training more hard, when He Zhili's heart was thinking about how to defeat China to "avenge" himself at that time, slowly Japan also took He Zhili as the first seed player, and many competitions let He Zhili participate and helped Japan expand its influence in the table tennis industry several times in a few years. In the so-called "narrow road of the wrongdoers", He Zhili met China's "Great Devil" Deng Yaping at the competition in the fifth year of joining Japan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > defeat Deng Yaping to satisfy He Zhili's revenge mentality:</h1>
In 1994, He Zhili, as the main force of the host team, met with Deng Yaping, the world's number one Chinese table tennis "Devil" in the final, which can be described as a needle point against Mai Mang, before that, He Zhili defeated the Chinese team seeded players Chen Jing and Qiao Hong and finally met Deng Yaping in the finals, this game is destined to be a fateful battle.
At that time, Deng Yaping was already the strongest women's singles player in China, affectionately known as the "Great Devil" by the Chinese people, and Deng Yaping at that time was also the first player in the world table tennis standings for a long time, and a dragon fight officially began.
At the beginning of the game, He Zhili's morale was high, and Deng Yaping, who had always maintained cohesion, was very uncomfortable, and finally Deng Yaping lost the battle of fate against He Zhili, and in the game, He Zhili continued to cheer himself up in Japanese, shouting "Yossi" every time he won.
This made the Chinese audience indignant, and he Zhili, who won the game, cried bitterly as if the backlog of years of grievances had finally ended at this moment.
In the end, He Zhili stood on the podium of the champion, and the Japanese flag was raised behind him to play the Japanese national anthem, which made countless Chinese people sad, and the news of He Zhili's victory was returned to China. Chinese media reported that Chinese people were in a state of righteous indignation, saying that He Zhili had forgotten her roots, that she had betrayed the motherland that raised her, and that she had run to Japan to help Japan win the championship.
Deng Yaping was also tragically affected and insulted by the Chinese people, but Deng Yaping said: "At that time, I saw that He Zhili's state had reached the extreme, the attack could not move, the defense could not be broken, as if there was an inexplicable force supporting her." ”
He Zhili lived quite elegantly in Japan, directly ignoring the insults of the Chinese people, and her victory not only lifted her heart for many years, but also made her win the top honor in the Japanese table tennis industry, respected by all The Japanese table tennis players, and even the Japanese Emperor received the Chinese player who fought for the honor of Japan three times in succession.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" > divorced her husband and eventually lived a "lonely life":</h1>
After the battle with Deng Yaping, He Zhili's position in Japanese table tennis was as good as ever, and she helped Japan win the championship in international table tennis competitions, and Japan also gave her very generous living resources.
But for a long time, before participating in the Sydney Olympic Games, He Zhili found that her husband Hideyuki Oyama had betrayed himself, and He Zhili, who had a strong personality, directly chose to sue her husband Hideyuki Oyama in court and finally divorced, and after obtaining a huge compensation, He Zhili lived alone in Osaka, Japan, living an ordinary life, so far He Zhili's reputation in the table tennis industry is still so thunderous, and the glory of that year is indeed worth remembering for each of us. Although he was not happy after marriage, he lived a plain life and no longer accepted the disturbances of the outside world.
Nearly 30 years have passed, He Zhili has long faded out of the world table tennis stage, more and more geniuses have emerged, the great demon king Zhang Yining, the hexagonal warrior Ma Long, the people's artist Xu Xin, in China's table tennis talents, but also completely dominated the world table tennis world. But why didn't He Zhili let the ball go in that game that year, if as an athlete I don't think there is any problem, abide by the spirit of the athletes, follow the spirit of the Olympic games. But as a national consideration, athletes should still follow the leadership arrangement.
So do you think He Zhili should have conceded the ball that year?
