Two years ago, the Chinese table tennis team became associated with the T2 league for the first time, and the chipper Liu Fei left a deep impression on local fans in Malaysia with his superb skills and outstanding appearance. This time, the Chinese table tennis team sent its main players to compete. Although 22-year-old Fan Zhendong failed to win the championship, he established a sincere friendship in Malaysia.

Among the 20 caddies shortlisted for T2, there is a little boy named Firdaus. Because of his fat and cute figure, he was drawn into the Fat Family by Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun at the opening ceremony. After seeing the photo of the three of them together, Chinese netizens affectionately called him "Little Fatty Malaysian".

Firdaus is only 12 years old, but he is very careful in what he does. First, his throws were spot-on. During the game, he is responsible for throwing the ball to the players around him. The players come from different associations and have different heights and positioning habits. He will determine the arc height of his throw before the game based on the characteristics of each player. At least in the games of Francesca, Malone, and Ding Ning, his throws are always on target. Secondly, he took good care of the sweat towel. During the game, every time the two sides hit 6 goals or a multiple of 6, the players have to wipe their sweat. After the players finish wiping, Firdaus will fold the wiped side to the inside and turn the unwiped side to the outside. It ensures that the next time the players come, they will use a brand new side. Third, he loves to play table tennis. The caddy is the person closest to the players on the golf course. After a day's work, when he returned to the hotel, he immediately went to the table tennis table in the lobby to digest the experience of watching the game that day. All his friends are willing to serve as his sparring partners, including guest star Fan Zhendong.

A special fate helped Firdaus become Fan Zhendong’s full-time caddy. Xiaopang won three consecutive games. He shouted after each score and high-fived him after winning. Xiaopang was gradually attracted by Xiaopang's playing charm and personality. He felt, "It's fun to watch Fan Zhendong play, and he can always win." Unfortunately, Firdaus did not get Fan Zhendong's high-five in the men's singles final on July 21. After the award ceremony, he jogged all the way to catch up with Fan Zhendong, wanting to comfort his brother who was about to leave. In fact, he was even sadder than Xiaopang. In order to thank Xiaopang for his support, Fan Zhendong gave him his finals jersey and encouraged him to work hard and grow up happily. As the future leader of the Chinese table tennis team, Fan Zhendong must be disappointed and stressed after losing a key match. But when faced with a 12-year-old child, he hid his disappointment and brought to Firdaus his courageous, optimistic and positive attitude and the Chinese table tennis team's spirit of "don't be crazy when winning and don't panic when losing".

The little fat girl thought for a while, then walked up to Fan Zhendong again, held his hand affectionately, and refused to let go for a long time. Firdaus said, "I have never seen Fan Zhendong play before. T2 is the first time we met. I am very happy to play with him in the hotel. He is my good brother. I wish him better and better in the future."

< p> Fan Zhendong leaving his jersey in Malaysia is not only an encouragement to Firdaus, but also an encouragement to himself. He will experience countless failures in his career. As long as he maintains a brave heart and with Fan Zhendong’s character, we have reason to believe that today next year, he will still be in Malaysia and win the championship back.
