Yu Shentong asked Liao Ping-pong dreams may come to train a world champion.

　　

　　　　Without the return of Shen Tong, Lei Zhenhua said that he might still be a social youth who stayed in the billiards club; Now, Lei Zhenhua has filled the gap that Liaoning men’s table tennis has not participated in the world’s three major competitions for 15 years, and set foot on the journey of Zagreb World Table Tennis Championships in May this year; Today, there are six players in Liaoning men’s table tennis team; Nowadays, Liaoning men’s table tennis ranks among the top five before the table tennis Super League, and the brain drain has been greatly reduced.

　　　　It is Yu Shentong, the current male table tennis coach in Liaoning, who has changed the life track of a group of Liaoning table tennis players. At the beginning, what was the reason for returning to Liaoning Province from Japan to coach? Yu Shentong’s eyes drifted to distant memories: "Do you know? Many people who drift overseas, once they get a comfortable life, will have a strong homesickness. If I don’t come back, I think I will regret it. "

　　　　At the peak, I left

　　　　Yu Shentong, a native of Shenyang, was a spiritual left-handed player when he was an athlete. He joined the national team in 1985. In 1987, at the age of 19, Yu Shentong defeated Lao Wa in his heyday with his varied serve in the European competition. In 1992, he took the last flight to Barcelona, but this Olympic trip became the biggest turning point in Shen Tong’s career. After that, he decided to leave.

　　　　Yaoyao: Why did you suddenly choose to retire?

　　　　Yu Shentong: It has something to do with the Barcelona Olympic Games. At that time, I mainly focused on doubles, and I had the strength to compete for gold. But when I entered the fourth quarter, Ma Wenge and I met the Korean group Jiang Xican/Chul-Seung Lee. Technically, we had the upper hand, but our opponents were better prepared than us, and finally we lost.

　　　　Yaoyao: Is it a pity to retire like this?

　　　　Yu Shentong: It’s really a kind of pain without tears. I can play for at least three or four years. But the Olympic Games hit me too hard. I suddenly want to change the environment and let my nervous nerves relax. "

　　　　When I was at ease, I came back

　　　　From 1994 to 2001, Yu Shentong got married and had children in Japan. But comfort did not sink him, but stimulated his homesickness. At that time, the parent team Liaoning, which almost fell to the bottom, made him fidgety in Japan, and the idea of returning to China was eager for generate. In 2002, Yu Shentong finally returned to Shenyang with his wife and belt. So a banner of "working hard, working hard, getting out of the trough and creating a brilliant future for Liaoning men’s table tennis" appeared in the training hall of the compound.

　　　　Yaoyao: Tell me about your life in Japan.

　　　　Yu Shentong: When I came to Japan, I met Zhao Duoduo who joined the provincial team with me. At that time, she had been in Japan for several years. After marriage, we worked side by side for our lives. With our ping-pong skills, we worked hard for a superior life and received generous treatment in all aspects.

　　　　Yaoyao: Why didn’t you enjoy it?

　　　　Yu Shentong: Once a person who has lived overseas for a long time is comfortable, he will miss his hometown. That kind of feeling is uncontrollable. I go home two or three times a year and visit the provincial team every time, but what I see and hear is that Liaoning men’s table tennis is in an unprecedented predicament. I am sad! Therefore, the idea of returning to China strongly stimulated me.

　　　　In the trough, an iron fist rules the army.

　　　　Back in Liaoping, after three years of running the army with an iron fist, a group of young boys regained their confidence in playing. They suddenly realized that they were not geniuses in online games and billiards clubs, but their talents were in small silver balls. Yu Shentong said that the dream finally came into reality.

　　　　Yaoyao: What was the status of men’s table tennis in Liaoning?

　　　　Yu Shentong: I didn’t get a point in the Ninth National Games. How chaotic do you think it is? Except for Xu Hui, Lei Zhenhua and Zhai Yiming, who have been selected for the national team, these talented children are basically hopeless according to the situation at that time. Lei Zhenhua’s hands are thicker than those of table tennis.

　　　　Yaoyao: How to manage it?

　　　　Yu Shentong: I have formulated very strict management terms, and those players who can’t play a good role are all assigned; When you enter an Internet cafe, you only need to catch it once and go home immediately. At that time, it was really under great pressure to rectify the team atmosphere.

　　　　Yaoyao: How to make the players make achievements?

　　　　Yu Shentong: There are more than a dozen people in Liaoning Men’s Table Tennis Team 1, and I left seven. I build up their confidence, and if they are willing to work hard, they will be successful. After a period of rectification, parents felt that hope was coming, so we both disciplined. You see, now these children have changed a lot, their bad habits are gone, their thoughts are positive, and they all have the desire to join the national team and the dream of becoming a world champion.

　　　　Busy, ashamed of his wife and children

　　　　Is that Shen Tong often follows a weak figure behind him. During the competition, she sat silently behind Shen Tong, smiling or frowning. She was Yu Shen Tong’s wife, Zhao Duoduo, a veteran of Liaoning women’s table tennis. At that time, Shen Tong brought back a female player who had changed her nationality and name and had unlimited scenery in Japan, and was willing to be his wife. Yu Xinran, a 9-year-old son, was also sent to a full-time primary school by him.

　　　　Yaoyao: Has your wife done a lot for you?

　　　　Yu Shentong: At that time, I suddenly decided to return to China. My wife won a very good treatment after playing in Japan for 15 years. Returning to China means everything is zero, and we all need the courage to start from scratch. Finally she came back with me. I don’t know what else to say except thank you.

　　　　Yaoyao: What is your greatest wish at present?

　　　　Yu Shentong: Strive to cultivate a world champion.
