When Dānlín was a child, he revealed in his autobiography Until the End of the World, "Why didn't the Fujian team want me?" This idea. 1995, I won the men's singles championship in the national children's competition for the first time, and I was very happy at that time. Although it is only an amateur competition, it is at least national. I thought I would definitely make the Fujian team, but it was the coach of Bayi team who came to watch my game. So, the fact that I joined the army was a draw. At that time, I knew nothing about Bayi badminton team. I don't know what achievements Bayi team has made and what outstanding athletes have produced. My brain is blank. Unlike in those days, when it comes to Fujian team, everyone knows that they are the men's team champions in seven consecutive national badminton championships. Initially, even the national team base was located in Fuzhou. It can be seen that badminton in Fujian plays an important role in the whole country. I was disappointed that I didn't make the Fujian team, but there was a question that kept lingering in my mind: why didn't the Fujian team want me? That year, Fujian team chose Qiu Bohui, my roommate in the sports school. Fujian also chose Xie Xin. I thought I could join the Fujian team together, but most of them were picked by the Fujian team, and I was the only one who went to the Bayi team. That kind of loss and sadness can't be said. But at that time I didn't know why Fujian didn't want me. I didn't understand it before I figured it out, so I reported it to Bayi team. The first uniform I received was the smallest size, but it was still as big as a sack. At that time, I was less than 1.5 meters tall and had not developed yet, but only adult military uniforms were available for me to wear. I remember my mother helped me stuff my pants a lot, and I barely stumbled on my way.
