Rong Guotuan is the first world champion of sports events in New China. Rong Guotuan was born in Hong Kong and has a patriotic heart. . After winning the championship in Hong Kong, in 1957, inspired by his motherland, he decided to return to China. In the 25th World Table Tennis Championships in 1959, Rong Guotuan fought through all the obstacles and reached the final. His opponent in the final was the Hungarian veteran Sido. In the end, Rong Guotuan lost a game first and won the men's singles championship against veteran Xido, who had won the world championship 7 times, 3:1. This is the first world championship in the history of sports in my country, and it has written a glorious page in the history of sports in New China. Rong Guotuan has a famous saying: "How many times can you fight in life? If you don't fight now, how long will it take?" ?This sentence has inspired generations of Chinese people. The courage to win and the courage to fight have become the eternal spiritual wealth of the Chinese people.

His teammate Zhuang Zedong once said when recalling Rong Guotuan: Why did we not even dare to think about winning the world championship before Rong Guotuan won the world championship, let alone win the world championship? Champion. After Rong Guotuan won the world championship, we dared to say that we also want to win the world championship. Who inspired us with this belief in victory and huge spiritual power? It's our brother, our comrade-in-arms? Rong Guotuan.
