In 2013, the lights of the training hall of the State Sports General Administration in Qing City were still on until late at night. The TTL (Table Tennis League) global professional table tennis league has officially entered China. The European professional table tennis world has already embarked on a mature path through commercialization, but the domestic national table tennis team is still trapped in the inherent framework of "gold medal first, closed training". The attraction of youth training has declined year by year, and the value of the players is only seen during the Olympic cycle.
Former national junior genius Wen Tongtong, whose career ended due to a wrist injury seven years ago, returned with a double major in sports industry and journalism from Peking University and became the first person in charge of the national team's market-oriented pilot. No one is optimistic about this young girl. She wants to tear a hole in the inherent system - to let the national football team get out of the halo that is once every four years, to let the hard-working athletes be seen by more people, and to let the teenagers with the racket have more life possibilities.
She met Lin Shizhi, who was promoted by meritorious coach Chen Qingsong at the age of 15. This young man, who is ridiculed as having a "wild origin", has a fierce backhand twist and always trains the hardest. His father is a technician at a state-owned enterprise and his mother is a lathe worker in a garment factory. Most of the family income is spent on his grandmother's medical treatment. The original intention of playing golf is to win prize money and give his family a better life.
A reformer who broke into the system, and a dark horse boy who refused to admit defeat, two "others" in the eyes of others met in the training hall. When her Match Point fight was questioned, she stood up to clear her name. When her big-money endorsement deal coincided with professional competitions, he stuck to his original aspirations. The two stood side by side amid the wave of criticism across the Internet. From the training hall to the top of the world, as the silver ball rose and fell, they kept the purity of table tennis, the ideal heat, and the pure whiteness in each other's eyes.
In the end, he became the youngest table tennis Golden Slam winner in history. The market-oriented reforms she promoted were implemented across the country. Amidst all the glitz, they went on a pure white date together.
Purpose: In the wave of market-oriented reform of national table tennis in 2013, the genius girl Wen Tongtong retired due to injury and the table tennis boy Lin Shizhi, who came from an ordinary background, pursued her dream side by side. They adhered to the original intention and pure love of table tennis amidst the ups and downs of fame and fortune. This is a passionate growth story.
