From the upset elimination in the mixed doubles, to the narrow encounter with "The Wall of China" Fan Zhendong in the men's singles quarter-finals, to being overturned by the opponent in the men's team semi-finals, and losing the men's team bronze medal battle... At the Paris Olympics, Zhang Benzhihe, who worked hard to compete in the men's singles, mixed doubles and men's team events, had four "heartbroken" competitions.
Zhang Benzhihe said when talking about the results of this Olympics: Now every time I see reports of other events, I feel very frustrated. Many people won medals, but I didn't. I couldn't win a medal in this Olympics, which made me very frustrated. As the Olympic table tennis competition progressed, Zhang Benzhihe's reputation reversed. Zhang Benzhihe's former "Ping Pong Philosophical Quotes" were also dug up by netizens and circulated on the Internet. "I'll put the two losses aside. Today is today, yesterday is yesterday, and tomorrow is still tomorrow. I'll start from zero day by day." "There is no should in table tennis." "This is table tennis. It's not that if you win against the strong, you won't lose to the weak, and it's not that if you lose to the weak, you can't win against the strong." Not long ago, he said to his Chinese fans who supported him: "Maybe I lost a little pitifully in the semi-finals this time, so they comforted me. Maybe next time I play well, I will be criticized again. Indeed, cheering for the Chinese team is their first priority. When playing with foreign players, I hope they can cheer me more, and I will be very happy."
