Beijing time, August 21st, according to reports from NHK and other Japanese media, Chinese-American table tennis star and former Japan National Championship winner Konishi Kaiwei (formerly known as Song Haiwei and Yoshida Kaiwei) was arrested this month on suspicion of molesting and touching the body of a student's mother. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused heated discussions inside and outside the circle, which was very regrettable.

Konishi Kaiwei was born in 1981, formerly known as Song Haiwei. He is a former athlete from Hebei Province, China. He uses a straight-grip, anti-glue, single-sided offensive style of play, which is very different from Korean players such as Ryu Seungmin. This is very rare in the table tennis world in the 21st century, so he often leaves a very deep impression on fans.

As early as the age of 7, Xiao Xi Haiwei went abroad to develop, and finally naturalized in Japan in 2004. In order to thank his "mentor", the Japanese coach Yoshida, Song Haiwei once changed his name to Yoshida Haiwei, and after getting married, he changed it to his wife's surname "Xiao Xi". According to past reports, the relationship between the couple has always been good - it is precisely because of the experience of changing surnames twice that Xiao Xi Haiwei is often mistaken by many people.

In 2005, Konishi Kaiwei became famous in one battle, defeating the former Chinese table tennis Olympic champion and naturalized Japanese star Haruki Wei (formerly known as Wei Haruki) to win the men's singles championship of the Japan Table Tennis National Championships. However, with the rise of Mizutani Jun, Konishi Kaiwei failed to continue his glory, but he also represented the Japanese team in world competitions many times.

As he grew older and more young Japanese athletes emerged, Kaiwei Konishi gradually faded out of the international arena after 2012, focusing on developing in the Japanese and European leagues. At the same time, he began to transform into a coach. This indecent incident occurred in a table tennis school in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

According to reports from multiple Japanese media outlets, on the evening of August 7 this year, Kaiwei Konishi gave a massage to a student's 40-year-old mother in a table tennis classroom, and then touched the woman's body while massaging, which has led to suspected indecent assault. He admitted to touching the body but denied having any indecent intentions and denied the accusations against him until it was widely exposed by the media recently.

At present, the Xiao Xi Haiwei incident is still fermenting, and it is still unknown whether he has committed a crime or was framed. More inside information is still to be disclosed, but no matter what the outcome is, this matter will inevitably have a major impact on his family and life. It is difficult to predict how it will end, so we have to wait for the latest news.
