Sun Guidong, all-media reporter on the Peninsula, Jiang Kai, Mao Ziquan

  Bring Wang Gezhuang’s big steamed bread and other Qingdao specialties to the Spring Festival Evening, and CALL; Qingdao for extra points; During the rehearsal, the phone kept on, and every old man’s New Year’s Eve dinner was arranged. A family of three celebrated the New Year in three places respectively. After the Spring Festival Evening in anxious to return, the gifts bought for the elderly can no longer fit, and the dinner arranged with the elderly has been arranged after the Lantern Festival … As a representative of the most beautiful grass-roots police in China, Ma Huailong, a policeman from Xinglong Road Police Station, Shibei Branch of Qingdao Public Security Bureau, was invited to watch CCTV Spring Festival Evening. I am busy in the process of attending the Spring Festival Gala. What are your feelings at the Spring Festival Gala? On the eve of the Spring Festival, our reporter went to CCTV to participate in the Spring Festival Gala exclusively with the policeman Ma Huailong, and recorded the story in this different kind of Spring Festival.

Buy gifts for the elderly between cars.

Qingdao specialty "not enough points" and "dragon" big steamed bread are too bright

  On February 8, policeman Ma Huailong took a box full of Qingdao specialties and set foot on the train to Beijing. In his suitcase, he bought Wanggezhuang big steamed bread, Laoshan coke, Laoshan white snake grass water and green calcium milk biscuits in advance.

  Ma Huailong said that in the backstage of the rehearsal of CCTV Spring Festival Evening, there are guests and actors from all over the country. Bringing these Qingdao specialties for them to taste is also to promote our Qingdao characteristics.

  "It’s too popular, and there are staff members who come to the background to find these specialties." Ma Huailong said that the most eye-catching is Wanggezhuang Big Steamed Bread with the theme of year of the loong. People in many places have never seen such a big and creative steamed bread. Many guests came to ask about the production method, and they were full of praise after tasting it.

After coming back from the Spring Festival Evening, I will send gifts to help the people’s homes.

  Laoshan coke, white snake grass water and calcium milk biscuits were quickly eaten in the background of the rehearsal. Ma Huailong lamented that it is not enough to take a few more boxes. The key point is to let more people know about our Qingdao characteristics. At the same time, in the warm-up video before the official start of the Spring Festival Evening, CCTV also introduced Wang Gezhuang’s big steamed bread.

  "With the help of a big stage like CCTV, let more people know about Qingdao specialties," Ma Huailong said. Many people also came to ask for specific details and asked about the purchase.

Bo Huang and Lao Ma celebrate the New Year together, and the number of views in Weibo exceeds 10 million

  On the stage of this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Qingdao star Bo Huang is also highly anticipated by people all over the country. As early as before the Spring Festival Gala began, Bo Huang repeatedly forwarded reports about police officer Ma Huailong.

  This year’s China People’s Police Festival, Bo Huang wrote in his Weibo, "Like Ma Huailong, the most beautiful grass-roots policeman in Qingdao! Pay tribute to every people’s policeman and wish you a happy Police Day! "

  In the gap between rehearsals, Bo Huang also specially gave the old horse a surprise. Bo Huang deliberately found the old horse, and together they used Qingdao dialect to pay a New Year call to the people of the whole country. "Bo Huang is the star of Qingdao, and many people who help others are his die-hard fans," said Ma Huailong. After learning that he was going to participate in the Spring Festival Evening program, many old people asked Lao Ma to help Bo Huang find a photo instead of them.

  "Success helped them realize their wishes," said Ma Huailong, who also shared the good news with the people who helped them. And the video of two people paying New Year’s greetings together quickly became a hot topic in Weibo, and the number of views soon exceeded 10 million.

  Bo Huang sang "Pinyin" live in the Spring Festival Evening, singing the love between father and son. Ma Huailong said that after listening to this song, he actually felt deeply in his heart and sang it in his heart. It is also such a family relationship between him and helping the elderly. When listening to songs, many pictures with the old people come to mind.

A family of three is busy with their wives and daughters’ "happy reunion"

  Even if I attend the Spring Festival Evening, the old horse is most concerned about the elderly who need help in the community. During the follow-up visit, the old horse’s mobile phone almost never stopped. He told the volunteers and the old people in every detail, and told them not to burn the old people even when they cooked dumplings.

  During the Spring Festival, he was most concerned about helping the elderly eat dumplings. Under the influence of Ma Huailong, his wife and daughter have already joined the volunteer team. On the night of New Year’s Eve, my daughter went to a helping family to pack jiaozi with the elderly and watch the Spring Festival Gala. The wife is at home, and invites another helper to come home to have dinner together.

  Sacrifice little reunion, have a happy ending. Ma Huailong said that he has become a relative with the object of help, and even though his family of three is in different places, he still feels very warm in his heart.

  At the same time, he also carefully selected gifts for the old people. Towels for the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Evening and some mascots were carefully received in the suitcase and ready to be taken back to the elderly. "The red envelopes brought back in the Spring Festival Evening will be brought back, and some cash will be put in them to celebrate the New Year for the old people," Ma Huailong said. Although some old people didn’t say anything, they always thought about what gifts the old horse would bring back.

The gift for the old man can’t fit in the suitcase.

The gift for the old man can’t fit in the suitcase.

  When I returned to the hotel where I lived, the suitcase of the old horse was full of gifts except my own clothes. While waiting for the train in the morning, he saw that there was still half an hour before leaving the train. He hurried to the store of the railway station and bought some Beijing specialty products such as snacks.

  "These authentic products may not be eaten by the old people at ordinary times, so take them back and try them." Ma Huailong said that the old people in the community kept calling and asking when they would go home and wanted to have a reunion dinner together. In the eyes of the old man, he has been regarded as a relative. Although jiaozi has eaten, the old horse is not here, even if the year is not really over.

After returning, "non-stop" ran between helping the elderly.

  At 3: 10 pm on February 10th, Ma Huailong returned to Qingdao from Beijing after attending the Spring Festival Gala. When he went home and put down his luggage, Ma Huailong hurried to the home of Wang Zexie, a disabled old man living alone at No.1 Dasha Branch Road, because when he was in Beijing years ago, Ma Huailong learned that the old man was suddenly hospitalized due to illness, which made Ma Huailong worried at that time.

On the way back, I’m still sorting out the things that need attention to help the masses.

  "Aunt Wang, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you weren’t feeling well?" At 6 o’clock in the evening, Ma Huailong, who saw the old man Wang Zexie, asked some reproachfully. "Officer Ma, you are so busy attending the Spring Festival Gala. I’m sorry to trouble you. I just felt a little uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for observation for 2 days, and now it’s okay. " The old man Wang Zexie said with some apologies. "I am a community policeman. It is my job to take care of you. What’s embarrassing? If you don’t say it, it will make me more worried. You must tell me if you are unwell in the future." Ma Huailong said slowly. Wang Zexie, the old man, nodded and agreed like a child who did something wrong.

  Ma Huailong was relieved to see that the old man was in good health. He took out a red scarf and said with a smile, "I specially chose this for you from CCTV. I hope you will be prosperous and healthy in the future." The old man Wang Zexie took the scarf and immediately brought it up for himself. "Officer Ma has a good eye. This scarf looks good." The old man said to himself happily. Ma Huailong took out a "little dragon claw" from his bag and handed it to the old man, letting him pass through the dragon claw with his hand and hold it tightly. "This year is year of the loong, and we are grasping at the dragon’s claws and touching the dragon’s spirit." Ma Huailong said with a smile. Wang Zexie, an old man holding a "little dragon claw", was smiling. When Ma Huailong turned to take back the Beijing specialty, the old man quickly wiped his eyes and put away his happy tears …

  On the morning of the second day of February 11th, Ma Huailong rushed to the home of Wang Deting, a lonely old man, to pack jiaozi for the old man, accompany the old man to make up for the New Year’s Eve, and tell the old man about his participation in the Spring Festival Evening. In the afternoon, I went to Wei Ruiqing’s home, a disabled family, to have dinner with the elderly. "I go from house to house to eat with these old people every New Year. For so many years, the old people have also developed a habit. I always feel that I didn’t meet me during the New Year. This year is not counted. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, I will try my best to find opportunities to meet, talk and have dinner with every old man. It usually starts from the 23 rd day of the twelfth lunar month and is arranged until the eighth day of the first month. " Ma Huailong smiled and explained to reporters.

After coming back from the Spring Festival Gala, I will send gifts to help the people to visit and eat jiaozi together.

After coming back from the Spring Festival Evening, I will send gifts to help the people’s homes.

  This year’s participation in CCTV Spring Festival Gala affected the plan to spend the New Year with the elderly. In order not to disappoint the old people, Ma Huailong arranged his first month to the brim. At noon on the third day, I accompanied Wang Tianen, an elderly person living alone, and visited Tian Xuchang and Xu Xiuhua, disabled couples, in the afternoon. In the middle of the fourth day, I lived in the home of Zangmei, a lonely old man, and Zhao Guiqing, a lonely old man at night; Zou Yingkuan, a solitary old man, Zhu Huaying, a centenarian, and Fu Guizhen, a widowed old man … In the first month, Ma Huailong shuttled through these old people’s homes just to let them feel warm during the Spring Festival.

An exclusive dialogue between peninsula reporters and old horse daughters:

I never understood it until I took the initiative to integrate. When I grew up, I became you.

  It is easier to be his colleague and the people in his jurisdiction than his daughter and wife; From morning till night, there seems to be endless phone calls, and I didn’t understand the need to pay extra money and time to help others when I was a child. When I grew up, I gradually realized the significance and value of these little things, and took the initiative to join the volunteer service team … 46 keys are the concern of the old policeman for helping the masses in his jurisdiction, and the spirit behind them has also become an example for his daughter Ma Qingqing to learn. Recently, the reporter talked to Ma Qingqing, who works as an auxiliary police officer in the airport branch of Qingdao Public Security Bureau, and listened to how the old horse and kind and simple family style were passed down in her daughter’s eyes.

Ma Qingqing

Never attended a parent-teacher conference. It’s easier to be a colleague and the people in the jurisdiction than to be a daughter.

  In 2008, Ma Huailong transferred from the army to the police station to become a community policeman. At that time, my daughter Ma Qingqing was in Grade One.

  In my daughter’s impression, my father is always very busy, leaving early and returning late every day.

  At the beginning, my daughter was also full of incomprehension. There is a parent-teacher conference at school, and my father has never been there once. When I was in high school, I went home on weekends and saw that other students were all picked up by my father. "My dad never took it once and probably didn’t even know where my classroom was," Ma Qingqing said, filled with envy at that time, wishing his father could spend more time with his family.

  I feel a little sick, because my mother is busy before and after, and my father is always busy and has no time to take care of it.

  Sometimes I really feel that it is much easier to be a father’s colleague, friend and the people in the jurisdiction than to be a wife and daughter. "In Ma Qingqing’s memory, the number of times her father took care of her illness was almost zero, and her mother was pestering for her growth, while the lonely old man in the jurisdiction was ill and hospitalized, while her father accompanied her bed and delivered meals.

  "I go to work early now, and he is earlier than me," Ma Qingqing said. My father usually goes out after 6 o’clock in the morning. Before going to work, he will go to the home of the old people who help him, and some people who are inconvenient to buy food will buy some food and send it there.

  Even when I got home, my father kept calling, and it was often several times before I could finish a meal.

  "Once my dad was having dinner at home and received a phone call saying that he had a problem with his mother," Ma Qingqing said. At that time, the other party asked police officer Ma if he could go to our house for a walk. My father immediately agreed, and after dinner, he quickly went to the residents’ home to mediate.

Helping the object’s smile warms people’s hearts and takes the initiative to join.

  However, when you get in touch with his work and help the family together, you will feel what a meaningful thing it is.

  At first, my father was too busy and would ask her to help. Ma Qingqing said that he just wanted to help share some manual labor. My father is too old to be so tired.

  With more and more activities, the more I can understand my father’s work, and I can appreciate the happiness and happiness gained from these helping work.

I fell asleep because I was too tired, and I was still holding my mobile phone in my hand to prepare for sorting things out.

I fell asleep because I was too tired.

  The first time I went to a grandfather’s house, I helped cook and clean together. Grandpa will sit next to his father and talk about trivial things as if he were chatting with his own son. At this moment, the old man didn’t realize that his father was a helping policeman.

  Ma Qingqing said that at that moment, she realized that her father’s job was not just to help others, but to really treat each other as relatives. It is a very lucky thing to be able to turn strangers into relatives and gain their recognition and trust at the same time. Later, I went to my grandmother’s house and regarded myself as my granddaughter.

  When they saw their father’s death, there was a smile on their faces. This kind of smile made her unforgettable for a long time and felt incomparable warmth and healing.

  Slowly, she helped passively from the beginning and began to take the initiative to help the elderly clean up with her father. During the Chinese New Year holiday, they went to help the family have a reunion dinner. Now, as long as I have time, I will follow my father to help the object’s home for a while and chat with them like friends, so I will feel very comfortable and have a sense of accomplishment.

Time is divided into 46 families and they still feel that they are not taken care of enough.

  "Although my dad has done a lot, sharing it with so many people will leave everyone with little time," Ma Qingqing said. In the process of helping, they all regard each other as family and can chat and talk together. However, sometimes there are regrets.

  Ma Qingqing said that a grandfather met in 2013 and passed away a few days ago. The grandfather went out to work when he was young and didn’t get married. After coming back, only the household registration is here, and there is no file or house. Later, my father managed to arrange public rental housing for him and visited him every year.

The gift for the old man can’t fit in the suitcase.

  I left a few days ago, because the child was still young, and my father didn’t let her go to the hospital. Later, when I mentioned it, I was very sad, like my grandfather who had known me for many years died suddenly.

  "I had something to go out that weekend, and on the way back, I suddenly cried when my nose was sour." Ma Qingqing said that his grandfather regarded his family as his closest relatives, and his photo with them was always in the most conspicuous position. They will visit whenever they have time. When the old man died, she regretted not visiting more.

  "It is in every accumulation that I slowly understand his work." Ma Qingqing said with red eyes that it is a fate for them to know these people at work.

Family tradition, daughter and son-in-law all join in

Ma Qingqing

  "Under the influence of my dad, I feel that it is a very happy thing to help others, rather than simply as a commuting job, hoping to gain something.

  Like working in an airport, I can get in touch with many travelers, especially those who come to Qingdao for the first time. Sometimes they can’t find a network car, and their mood will be very upset. She hopes to help them solve their problems, calm their emotions and contribute to the safe operation of the airport.

  Under the influence of their father, they also slowly joined the team. Now, her partner will help to look after the elderly when she has time.

  "My partner is more supportive of my father’s work than I am," Ma Qingqing said. He felt that this was a meaningful thing, and the whole family should support Qi Xin.

  At the same time, this spirit of helping others is a family style. She also hopes to bring her son in in the future, pass on this kind heart from generation to generation, and help more people together.

Knowing your father better after becoming an auxiliary police officer is an example to learn from.

  In 2021, Ma Qingqing became an auxiliary police officer in the Airport Public Security Bureau.

  In the eyes of colleagues, since joining the auxiliary police force, Ma Qingqing has been diligent, willing to learn, dedicated and responsible. Although I am an office worker, I often go to the duty room to help, and my professionalism is relatively high.

  Previously, a child was lost at the airport. After receiving the alarm, she immediately helped to find the monitoring and helped her colleagues find the trace of the child in less than half an hour.

  Usually, the back office work is busy and always handled in a clear way.

  However, it was not until a few days ago that everyone knew that Ma Huailong was going to watch the Spring Festival Gala that colleagues discovered their father-daughter relationship from some video clips.

  Ma Qingqing himself has joined the public security team now, and his father has a great influence on himself. First of all, the execution is very strong. When the old man encounters any difficulties, he never hesitates and will solve them now.

  Secondly, I am very patient at work. Sometimes helping people with all kinds of things, all kinds of processes are complicated, but he solves them patiently. I have never felt that this is very troublesome and difficult, and I have always faced difficulties.

  "These are all worth learning," said Ma Qingqing, who is now engaged in the back office work of the police station, and things are rather complicated. From her father, she learned to be patient and meticulous, to do everything one by one, and not to give up easily.

  Since last year, she has participated in 12 Golden Shield volunteer service activities carried out by the police station, sent more than 300 leaflets to merchants, and served more than 600 merchants, and the number of passengers who have helped is even more difficult to count.

Topic | China volleyball set off the "tide of studying abroad" by relying on real skills, reputation and achievements.

On February 11th, the Gdansk Club of Polish Men’s Volleyball announced that Zhang Jingyin, a player from China, will play in the Polish Men’s Volleyball League wearing the same No.22 jersey as the national team. Zhang Jingyin has also become another China player to join a high-level overseas league after Jiangchuan and Zhu Ting. China players are being recognized by overseas clubs and awarded overseas league contracts by virtue of their outstanding performance in the national team and league. Zhang Jingyin hopes that she can play abroad and bring back good experience, so that China volleyball can make progress.

The local team of the Association recommended overseas league recognition.

Recently, China’s men’s and women’s volleyball national teams have assembled in Fujian and Zhejiang training bases to start a new year’s training. Different from previous years, many main players did not appear in the training base. Under the recommendation and operation of China Volleyball Association and local teams, men’s volleyball team captain Jiang Chuan, women’s volleyball team captain Zhu Ting, men’s volleyball league popular king Zhang Jingyin and other players have landed in overseas leagues.

This is a gratifying step for China Volleyball to improve its volleyball level by sending high-level athletes to join high-level leagues. On the other hand, the level of men’s and women’s volleyball in China has also been recognized by overseas leagues. Zhu Ting, the captain of China Women’s Volleyball Team, won an annual salary of one million euros in the Turkish Women’s Volleyball League. Zhu Ting’s performance in the previous national team conquered the top overseas leagues. At the beginning of this year, Yao Di, a setter who just won the China Women’s Volleyball Super League championship on behalf of Tianjin Women’s Volleyball Team, also got a contract with Scandi odd team in Serie A and became a teammate with Zhu Ting.

Zhang Jingyin, a Zhejiang player who performed well in the China Men’s Volleyball Super League, arrived in Gdansk, Poland on the 11th with his coaching team, and will soon join the Polish Men’s Volleyball Super League. Zhang Jingyin’s jersey number in the club is still the number 22 of the national team. The Polish Men’s Volleyball Super League is one of the three top men’s volleyball leagues in the world. As the first China player to play in Bochao, Zhang Jingyin is facing a lot of challenges. First of all, the number of foreign aid players in Bo Chao League is limited to three, and secondly, Zhang Jingyin will also face the test of strong blocking in Europe. In this regard, Zhang Jingyin said that she is going to participate in the competition with a learning attitude.

Serie A welcomed the third foreign aid from China this season. Born in 2000, she served as the main attack and response of Sichuan women’s volleyball team in the past two seasons. As the absolute core of the team, Miao Yiwen averaged 6.59 and 5.86 in the current China Women’s Volleyball League, ranking first in both rankings. In the ranking of effective scoring index of main attack players, Miao Yiwen’s effective scoring index reached 4.37. Second only to Li Yingying. It can be said that Miao Yiwen is a Serie A team impressed by the excellent performance of the League.

There is bitterness and sweetness in studying abroad, and fame and position are played out.

Playing in overseas leagues is both an opportunity and a challenge for China players. Overseas club leagues gather masters from all over the world and various styles of play. On the one hand, China players need to compete with opponents across the net, but also compete with teammates for playing opportunities. Just like Zhu Ting, her fame and position are based on competition and achievements.

With the active operation and recommendation of China Volleyball Association and local teams, China men’s volleyball players set off a climax of "studying abroad". Before the start of the Chinese Men’s Volleyball League, Beijing Auto Men’s Volleyball Team has sent many players, including captain Jiang Chuan, Wang Dongchen and Zhang Binglong, to compete overseas and other teams. At present, Peng Shikun, Yu Yuantai and Yu Yaochen have joined Japanese and Qatari Asian clubs to play. At present, Jiangchuan stands firm in Japan Men’s Volleyball League with his skill and hard work. He won the title of scoring champion in a single game in the Japanese league for many times, and was also selected for the All-Star team. On the other hand, in addition to training and playing ball in Hiroshima Club, Jiangchuan is only responsible for two meals a day on training day and competition day. Other necessities of life must be purchased by yourself. Jiangchuan needs to do it personally in diet and daily life to ensure that his body is in the best condition.

When the China Women’s Volleyball Super League came to an end, Beijing Auto Women’s Volleyball Team helped Jin Ye go through the formalities and joined the Jakarta BIN team of Indonesian League together with Chen Peiyan of Guangdong Women’s Volleyball Team. This shows that Beijing Women’s Volleyball Team supports players to play abroad. In the debut of Jin Ye and Chen Peiyan joining the Indonesian League, they helped the team beat the six-time champion national electric women’s volleyball team in the Indonesian League. Unfortunately, after that, the team terminated the contract with Jin Ye, and the national player failed to play the complete Indonesian league.

Training+Studying in China Volleyball requires walking on two legs.

In the 2023 season, both men’s and women’s volleyball teams in China will face the test of competition. In addition to the World League and the Asian Championship, the China Men’s Volleyball Team also has the Asian Games and the Paris Olympic Qualifiers. The three-month training of China Men’s Volleyball Team hopes to strengthen basic skills, further polish skills and tactics, and prepare for the qualification of the Paris Olympic Games. China women’s volleyball team shouted the slogan that the Asian Games must win the championship. At that time, the players who will fight overseas are bound to become an important part of the national team. From training to studying abroad, China volleyball began to walk on two legs.

In late May this year, China women’s volleyball team will soon go to the World Women’s Volleyball League. The 2024 Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament held from September 16th to 24th and the Hangzhou Asian Games held from September 28th to October 7th are the most important. Head coach Cai Bin said that the goal of China women’s volleyball team in the Asian Games must be a gold medal. In addition, China women’s volleyball team should get tickets for the Paris Olympic Games in the qualifying round at the first time.

China men’s volleyball training, because many players such as Jiang Chuan and Zhang Jingyin participated in overseas leagues, the number of China men’s volleyball players participating in the training was reduced from 25 to 18. Zhang Jingyin said: "We can broaden our horizons and recognize a different level of league. In high-level clubs, learn how others train and compete. I hope that we can play abroad and bring back their good things, and then we can study together and make progress together. "

The number of women’s volleyball training in China was also reduced from 23 to 18 because Ding Xia, Zhu Ting and others did not participate in the training. At present, Zhu Ting and Yao Di are fighting fiercely in the Italian Women’s Volleyball League. Zhu Ting’s performance is stable, maintaining a success rate of about 50% in many competitions. Yao Di also began to enter the starting list and found his place in the team.

Overseas leagues also give young players a chance to attack the position of China women’s volleyball team in the future. Sun Jie, an assistant from Shandong, has joined Maccabi Club in Haifa, Israel League until the end of the 23rd season. She is the first player from China in the history of Israel Women’s Volleyball League. Sichuan meets Miao Yiwen and becomes the third China player to land in Serie A this season after Zhu Ting and Yao Di. If these players perform well in overseas leagues, they may be able to impress China women’s volleyball coach Cai Bin.

Since she was promoted to the adult group, Miao Yiwen has not had many opportunities to represent China women’s volleyball team in international competitions. Last year, she was selected for the China Women’s Volleyball Team by virtue of her outstanding performance in the League, and participated in the World Women’s Volleyball League sub-competition. Unfortunately, Miao Yiwen only appeared as a substitute in the match with the Thai women’s volleyball team. Since then, she has failed to be selected for the China Women’s Volleyball World Championships. This time, Miao Yiwen impressed Serie A clubs through league performance, and Miao Yiwen also got another chance to prove herself.

Whether these players studying abroad can become the main force of China volleyball national team in the future depends on their own abilities and the needs of the team. Since the pace of volleyball training+studying abroad in China has been taken, we should boldly move forward. As Zhang Jingyin said when talking about his communication with Wu Sheng, head coach of China Men’s Volleyball Team, "Coach Wu also hopes that I can have a good exercise when I go abroad this time, make a major breakthrough in serving and bring back good experience. In the future, I will play well in the national team competition. "

Wang Chen: My heart is still China’s heart.


  "The change of a paper’s nationality will never change the strong flavor of Beijing in me, or the fact that I was cultivated by China. My heart is still China’s. The Beijing Olympics is the pride of Chinese people all over the world. I wish Beijing well and cheer for the Olympics. " -Wang Chen


  BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) According to the American Overseas Chinese Weekly, the American Olympic Committee recently announced a list of events to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games. In the list, five Chinese athletes were selected, including China-born table tennis player Wang Chen, which attracted the attention of many table tennis fans and people familiar with Wang Chen.


  Anyone familiar with table tennis knows Wang Chen’s position in China’s national women’s table tennis team in the last few years of the last century. Wang Chen has won nearly 30 women’s singles titles in her career, including professional tour, Asian Cup and World Table Tennis Championships. Among them, in 1997, Wang Chen won the women’s team championship for three consecutive times in cooperation with Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Li Ju and Yang Ying at the 44th World Table Tennis Championships held in Manchester, England. Wang Chen, who became famous in the early 1990s, was once regarded as the most potential newcomer of China team after Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong. She is one of the few tall players in the China team. She has defeated all the first-team players such as Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong, and has maintained a technical advantage over the younger generation of players Wang Nan, Li Ju and Yang Ying for a long time.


  Now, as a Chinese athlete, a former world champion, a former main member of China’s national table tennis team and now a main member of the American women’s table tennis team, Wang Chen has been selected as the American Olympic delegation and will soon participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.


  At present, Wang Chen runs a table tennis club named after himself in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, new york. I have obtained the qualification to represent the United States in the Olympic Games held in Beijing. Wang Chen said indifferently that he was lucky to realize his Olympic dream at the age of 34. For the 34-year-old Wang Chen, this will be her last fight in the international table tennis competition, and it will also be a perfect curtain call for her personal career. With many questions about the former national player’s naturalization in the United States and curiosity about the eight-year struggle history of the United States and the story of Beijing’s Olympic dream, the reporter came to the table tennis club in Wang Chen as promised.


  At 1 o’clock in the afternoon, it was the time for lunch and lunch break, and he came to a small office of the table tennis club named after him. At this time, Wang Chen was being interviewed by local news media in new york. After our interview was delayed for about 15 minutes, Wang Chen appeared in the reporter’s field of vision.


  Olympic dream of Beijing


  Talking about the Beijing Olympic Games, Wang Chen seemed very excited and excited. "It is a rare opportunity for every athlete to get tickets for the Olympic Games, and this Olympic Games is held in Beijing, so I will take part in whatever I say," Wang Chen told reporters with a smile.


  In order to compete for the Olympic qualification, Wang Chen traveled around the world nonstop to participate in various tournaments to collect points. According to the regulations of ITTF, the top 20 athletes in the world will automatically get seats in the Olympic Games. Wang Chen is currently ranked 29th in the world, but Wang Chen can be ranked 14th because of the rule that only two players can be submitted by one country. From this, Wang Chen automatically won the seat of the Olympic Games.


  Regarding getting a seat in the Olympic Games, Wang Chen said that he has been an athlete for most of his life and has never let go of his love for table tennis. It is his first time to participate in the Olympic Games and he is really excited to return to his hometown. At the same time, Wang Chen also feels lucky.


  During Wang Chen’s eight years in the United States, Wang Chen not only didn’t give up table tennis, but also worked harder than before. She changed her raw rubber playing method to two-sided anti-rubber attack to give full play to her height and arm length. Tactics have obviously become more flexible than before, and the murderous look has also increased. She has won the women’s singles championship in the North American Championship for the United States many times.


  From 1993, 19-year-old Wang Chen made a blockbuster in the women’s singles final at the Seventh National Games, competing with Deng Yaping, who was in full swing at that time, to now representing the United States in the Beijing Olympic Games. After 15 years of table tennis career, Wang Chen finally realized his life wish and participated in the Olympic Games this summer.


  My heart is still China’s heart


  When it comes to the "Overseas Corps", which is controversial by Chinese people, as one of them, Wang Chen didn’t feel embarrassed. Wang Chen said that it was only his love of table tennis that kept him going. At present, the women’s team in China has particularly advanced technology, so it can’t pose a threat to the women’s team in China in the Olympic Games to switch to other national teams after retiring from China. In fact, in recent years, the "Overseas Corps" has never posed a direct threat to the China table tennis team’s gold medal, and the Chinese people have lost a lot of criticism.


  What will happen when the reporter puts forward the assumption that he will meet China athletes at the Beijing Olympic Games? Wang Chen said that table tennis has already transcended national boundaries, and in recent years, he has returned to China from time to time to compete, learn from each other and practice with China team members. Everyone has a deep friendship with each other. Ask again, if you meet China athletes during the Olympic Games, will your heart change? She said, "After all, this year’s Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, and the atmosphere will naturally be very warm. However, every time I meet a player from China, my hands are tight and I am easily influenced and distracted by the audience. It is possible that my heart is still because of China’s heart. "


  When it comes to the prospect of Olympic achievements, Wang Chen seems very calm. Wang Chen said that in the United States, unlike China, there is systematic training and preparation for war, and it can only be self-reliant. She now represents the Dutch club in the European League and warms up for the Olympics through the competition. Speaking of the event, Wang Chen said that the Olympic women’s table tennis singles competition is a strong dialogue, without high expectations, and it is a fight. As for the women’s team, the US team is still promising to compete for medals. After all, there are two people, Gao Jun and me. Except for China, no team can guarantee to win both of us.


  Wang Chen is very excited about returning to Beijing. She said that Beijing now is very different from Beijing where she used to live, and every time she returns to Beijing, she is very novel and excited. The change of my own nationality will never change the strong smell of Beijing in me, or the fact that I was cultivated by China. My heart is still China’s. Beijing Olympic Games is the pride of Chinese people all over the world. Bless Beijing and cheer for the Olympic Games.


  Sweet and sour, eight-year trip to America


  In 1999, Wang Chen, who was only 25 years old, chose to retire because there was no more room for promotion and development in the women’s table tennis team in China. In the year after retiring, she has not found a suitable way out for various reasons. At that time, my sister was running a fur business in New Jersey, USA. With her sister’s help, she applied for special talents to immigrate to the United States. Now Wang Chen’s sister has returned to China to settle down, while Wang Chen has stayed in the United States to develop. 


  Wang Chen said frankly that when he first came to the United States, he wanted to give up the cause of table tennis completely, engage in a brand-new job and create a new future. Later, it was found that there are many die-hard fans and fans of table tennis in the United States, many of whom are Americans and many immigrants. One of the die-hard fans is Jerry, the owner of her current club? Jerry Wartski. Jerry also completely changed the fate of Wang Chen.


  Jerry, 77, is a big fan of table tennis. Engaged in real estate work in new york in his early years. In 2002, when Wang Chen began to teach Jerry, Jerry already owned a table tennis club on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, new york, and later named it after Wang Chen.


  Knowing Jerry can be said to be a turning point in Wang Chen’s life in America. When I first arrived in new york, Wang Chen once offered to work as a temporary worker for Jerry, with an income. Jerry sternly refused. He said, "No, you are a China champion, an American champion or a world champion. I can’t let you be a temporary worker. You must stay in the arena." To this, Wang Chen is very emotional. She said that Jerry gave me a platform to continue my favorite table tennis career in the United States.


  Through several years’ hard work, Wang Chen Table Tennis Club has become more and more famous in Manhattan, and many celebrities include Keanu, the hero of The Matrix. Reeves and mcenroe, the "bad boy" in tennis, are frequent visitors to Wang Chen Table Tennis Club. For the present results, Wang Chen did not show pride. She said that I have learned a lot from eight years of living in the United States, which is my greatest gain.


  Love in the swimming pool


  Zhou Yue, Wang Chen’s husband, is a native of Xi ‘an. He studied in Xi ‘an Institute of Architecture and Engineering, and now he is studying for a master’s degree in environmental engineering at Columbia University, and has passed the examination of a professional certified real estate appraiser in the United States.


  She met her husband Zhou Yue in the swimming pool of Columbia University. At that time, I often went to Columbia swimming pool to practice because I couldn’t swim. One day, I felt that I could never teach myself. I had to ask someone else. I found a man who was very proud of breaking waves in the water. I thought, why don’t you ask him? So I swam over, and the first thing I asked him was, "Do you speak Mandarin?" He stood in the water and said, "I’m from mainland China and Xi ‘an. I also taught myself from teaching CDs." Then we started talking. Slowly, our contact will be more, and the circle of Columbia University is very small, so we will get familiar with each other when we get together frequently.


  In July, 2004, at the US Open, Zhou Yue rushed to watch the game in Wang Chen, and Wang Chen lived up to expectations and won the women’s doubles championship with Liu Jia, the former sister of the Beijing team. A few months later, Zhou Yue took out a carefully selected Tiffany diamond ring worth more than 6,000 US dollars and formally proposed to Wang Chen. Both parents were quite satisfied with the background and personality of the two young people. Soon after, Wang Chen and Zhou Yue registered to get married in new york.


  After eight years of ups and downs, Wang Chen has gone through years with great difficulties. Besides Wang Chen’s own hard work. In the United States, Wang Chen is lucky. With table tennis as a link, she has been helped by good people from different classes. (Zou Bin)
