Although it has been five years since I chose to retire, when Li Na, the mother of two children, appeared in the public eye in a more mature manner, people realized that she was irreplaceable. The International Tennis Hall of Fame recently announced that Chinese player Li Na will officially enter the Tennis Hall of Fame in July this year. She will also become the first person in Asia to receive this honor.

This is a strange phenomenon. Although she has retired for five years, Li Na can still make waves every time she appears in the public eye: her autobiographical movie and Tennis Boy are about to start filming, her tennis school and tennis competitions are in full swing, and she collaborated with Kim Clijsters to participate in the Australian Net Legends group stage, she appeared at major sporting events and events. People realized that Li Na is the most unique symbol of Chinese tennis.

Unique achievements are certainly one aspect. She has reached the Grand Slam women's singles finals four times in her career, winning two championships and two Asian championships. At the 2011 French Open, she brought back Asia's first Grand Slam singles trophy. After more than two years, she took off the "one grand slam" hat at the 2014 Australian Open. Li Na's career achievements are still limited to this. She also finished second in the year-end finals, finishing second at the top of the world rankings. For Asia, which was once regarded as a "tennis desert", Li Na now firmly occupies the position of the first person in history. She has created countless firsts in the field of women's professional tennis, which is crazy. Her growth trajectory, character, and her stimulation and advancement of the system are the main reasons why we miss her even more.

After reading the stories of talented and politically correct sports heroes, Li Na’s reverse growth model of the life cycle of sports athletes is worth thinking about. Nowadays, newcomers, including Su, have embarked on this path.

After getting used to the situation of reconciliation with the national system, which was full of thorns, Li Na, who started to fly solo, can better represent the professional trajectory of Chinese players. After getting used to the Chinese dream of hard work + struggle + obedience, Li Na angered others and emphasized the directness of personal self-worth, which is more realistic, more inspirational and more symbolic.

New Growth - Before Li Na, the Chinese sports world was accustomed to the selection and training model of female athletes in gymnastics and diving: pocket + difficulty + artistic beauty. Team members live in closed tunnels, and most of them become gold diggers who only focus on the game and lack in-depth understanding of the project. By the time they are in their 20s, these teenage girls who were promoted prematurely have already developed a sense of boredom and vicissitudes in the projects they are working on, and are beginning to run towards early retirement. But after breaking through the commanding heights of the Grand Slams dominated by Europeans and Americans at the age of 29 and 31, Li Na's "reverse growth" really shocked them. After her, more and more so-called veterans began to rejuvenate, began to explore their inner energy, and start again.

Including 29-year-old Su, who returned to his own track and started again and again With a whirlwind performance that took him to the world in 10 seconds, 29-year-old Sun Yang dared to look forward to another spring in his career. For those who oppose the state system and celebrate individual struggle, Li Na has become the leader of a certain liberal trend of thought, and has even forcibly become a pioneer in China's institutional reform.

New system - When discussing the many factors for Li Na's success, people tend to have a strong personality, advanced playing style, obedience and adaptability to the professional system, and the general environment in which the Chinese women's tennis took off near the critical point of breaking the ice. But without a solo career (which can be called an improved version of the National Unification), Li Na is at best a destroyer of the National Unification (like Hu Na who defected in the 1980s), or a free person who broke away from the National Unification (like the self-taught Meng Yuan), and has even taken photos of giving birth. It was the Tennis Center that broke the ice and allowed the Golden Flowers to form a "solo model" that broke away from the national system. It was the "improved version of the national system" bonus distribution model that caused the Golden Flowers to open up one after another. Unlike other Jinhua, which are inextricably linked with domestic brands and local import units, and their professionalism is not so thorough, Li Na has established a more efficient professional team to take charge of itself.

In "That "Team" has a clear division of labor among its members, including full-time technical coaches such as Carlos. Her husband Jiang Shan is also a sparring partner, psychiatrist, and logistician. German Alex is responsible for physical fitness, and Sharapova's agent Max Eisenbud, the ace agent of the international management group IMG, is responsible for overall planning. After handing over 8% of her bonus income to the tennis center, Li Na can now choose her own matches, and has established a training base camp in Munich, Germany, with her own schedule.

Tennis star Li Na lacks an overall view of the project, and talking about sponsors is a fixed impression of her. But her efforts to promote tennis are real. When she won the 2011 French Open, she expressed her deep gratitude to CCTV, knowing that the mainland's largest communication agency would play a vital role in promoting the tennis event. Sure enough, with the continuous broadcast of this communication platform, many of my international competitions were broadcast during prime time, and the number of tennis fans in China was close to hundreds of millions. She won this year's Australian Open, setting new highs in television ratings and viewership. Under Li Na's influence, more and more children began to walk into tennis schools with rackets on their backs, and more and more WTA players began to enter China, starting the busy "Asian Season" (mainly in China): following Beijing After , Shanghai and Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan and Tianjin have also become host cities for the WTA Tour.

In addition, whether it is the three US$125,000 WTA events in Su, Ning, and Ning, or the US$25,000 ITF women's events held in Quanzhou, Sanya, and Wenshan, Chinese local governments have found A quick way to create a new city business card. As the country has put forward higher requirements for holding large-scale comprehensive sports games, local functional departments have begun to integrate resources by organizing high-quality individual events, promoting urban tourism and stimulating the local economy. The upsurge in WTA event development, the commercial operation of the organizing committee, and event promotion, including invitations to celebrities, have all put forward more professional requirements.
