Chen Longcan was once the top table tennis player in China, winning the men's singles World Cup with 1986. Later, his partner Wei successfully won the men's doubles championship at the 1988 Olympic Games, reaching the peak of his career. Their combination is invincible in the world. Unfortunately, they retired early after the Olympic Games due to injuries and other reasons.
At that time, Chen Longcan and Wei were world-renowned table tennis stars, and their skills and experience were priceless. Japan saw their value for the first time and spent a lot of money to invite them to teach in Japan. Chen Longcan taught in Japan for about 10 years, during which the Japanese side communicated with him many times, invited him to become a Japanese citizen, and offered him a generous salary to senior officials, but Chen Longcan politely refused.
Now Chen Longcan has already returned to the motherland for 20 years, and is currently the vice chairman of Sichuan Table Tennis Association, constantly cultivating talents for table tennis. One regret in his career is that he didn't win the Universiade champion, but the students he trained have successfully won four Universiade champions, which makes him very pleased. His wish is that his students will win Olympic medals in the future.
It is worth mentioning that Wei, his former golden partner, also opened several gyms during his coaching in Japan, which made great contributions to Japanese table tennis. His development is obviously better than that of Chen Longcan, and Japan attaches more importance to him. Finally, in 1997, in order to facilitate life and development, Wei chose to become a Japanese citizen and changed his name to Wei Guan Qingguang. His wife Shi was changed to Wei Guanjuan, and his son naturally became a Japanese citizen.
There is an "elite college" in Japan, which is mainly set up for the Olympic Games. Wei Guanqingguang is the head coach of the men's table tennis team in this college, and Zhang Benzhihe is his favorite disciple. Recently, Wei Guanqingguang also recorded Table Tennis Japan with several Japanese players, mainly to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the world's top table tennis players. Obviously, it is mainly about analyzing China players and helping Japanese table tennis beat China. In recent photos, 49-year-old Wei Guanqingguang and Chen Longcan.
Also participating in the analysis is Li Juan, who is the sister of Li Sun, the national table tennis coach. She is also a national table tennis player in China and has participated in two world table tennis championships. Now she has joined the Japanese and changed her name from JIA Yu to Gentleman. She is currently kicking off in Japan, and her JIA Yu Zhuoqiu Club is very famous in Japan.
In less than two months, the Japanese Olympic Games will begin. In recent years, influenced by many "China factors", Japanese table tennis has developed very rapidly. At present, it is the strongest table tennis opponent in China, but I still believe that Liu can lead the team to achieve ideal results.
