However, on the 28th, there was another storm between Liang Jingkun and Hugo of Brazil in the quarter-final. When Liang 0-3 fell behind, some good people in the stands booed him. Fortunately, Liang Jingkun was not afraid of harassment, pulled four games in a row, and finally won the 4-3 reversal, and joined his teammate Fan Zhendong in the semi-final. The scene of him kissing the national flag on the chest of his jersey after winning deeply touched the fans of China team, and the audience at the scene applauded Liang Jingkun.
China's achievements are based on great strength.

In the face of great pressure, Liang Jingkun showed extraordinary will in the competition, and finally defeated Pitchford 4-3 and won the final victory. After the duel, Liang Jingkun kissed the national flag on her chest like Kong Huiling, the champion of Sydney Olympic Games in 2000.

It is worth mentioning that although the audience was booed, Liang Jingkun's opponent Pitchford was very polite on the court. Although I lost the game in the end, I still had a friendly interaction with Liang Jingkun. Appreciate each other: this is the normal and civilized way of communication of human beings!
Finally, I like Liang Jingkun again! He experienced many fierce battles in this World Table Tennis Championships, defeated many top players from Europe and America, and defended the honor of the motherland. It's really good! I hope his next game will be more exciting and hit the gold medals in various events: Come on, fatty!

When the tie-breaker score reached 8:4, Pitchford, who had just won a goal, signaled the referee to rest and ate a banana handed over by others to replenish his strength.
At this moment, a man's voice in English suddenly came from the stands: "Huang Xiangjiao, Huang Xiangjiao (yellow! ) ",the man's shouts are getting louder and louder, which attracts several people around him to echo.
On the surface, this uproar is about Pitchford eating bananas, but in English slang, "banana" also means insulting the yellow race because of its color. Judging from the scene of the man's heckling, what he actually meant was probably a racist insult to Liang Jingkun.
