Today's story is
" Feng Shanshan becomes China's first golf world number one "
Feng Shanshan won the Blue Bay Masters Championship and its ranking soared to the world's first. This is the first world number one in Chinese golf history, both men and women. It was also the second Chinese player who ranked first in the women's world after Zeng Yani.
She is a record-making machine for Chinese golf. She knew what it means to win the Blue Bay championship. "If I really win the world number one, my next goal is to enter the Hall of Fame. Maybe this dream will come true when I become an old lady." We interviewed her on the spot in the Blue Bay Golf Masters, which helped her to top the world number one.
If you don’t look at the playing results, Feng Shanshan is a gentle, polite, and even a little cute person.
I saw her finishing a shot on the field, and she took out the jerky beef and ate it for a few bites. She was hungry. She also wanted to join the national shopping carnival last night, but she didn't have time. "I can only go back to the United States next week to continue buying and buying."
She was grateful to her parents, treated her sponsors well, and promoted her younger generations. She had no temper or airs.
Her EQ , worthy of the sport of golf. Her growth and success are of reference value to every ordinary person.

Blue Bay Golf Masters champion, Feng Shanshan's 9th championship in his LPGA career. The 8th championship was won in Japan only a week ago.
After Japan won the championship, Feng Shanshan only gave the media 5 minutes of interview time. At this time, there were only 2 hours left before her flight to the Hainan Blue Bay Masters. From the stadium to the airport, it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes without traffic jam. Time is tight.
traveled back to the Blue Bay Masters press conference. Feng Shanshan was not tired at all, and she smiled throughout the whole process. Sitting with her is the champion of last year's Blue Bay Masters, Australian golfer Lee Min Ji , and the new post-Kobaby with a cool expression.
The reporter had many questions, and she answered each of them very seriously. She gave a suggestion for the post-00s to play golf for 3 minutes. Finally, he added with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm talking a little bit."
Feng Shanshan is a gentle person overall. Apart from her results on the court, she had no more aggressive thorns on her body.
She has a nickname called "National Treasure Shan". There is no doubt that this has to do with her always being the top level of Chinese golf.
When I asked her if she was under pressure on this title, she said that everyone just linked her to pandas, "But I hope there will be more golden monkeys in China." The translation teacher of
smiled. While he was explaining to foreign journalists with a smile, Feng Shanshan kept nodding, "YES, Prefect!" The boring press conference suddenly felt a little funny.
Humor, kindness, and emotional intelligence, this is the first impression Feng Shanshan gave me.

Like most golfers, Feng Shanshan was taken on the golf road by her father when she was 10 years old. At that time, the development of golf in China was extremely cold. Not to mention anything else, Guangzhou didn’t even have a serious golf course.
Thanks to her father's convenience, she joined the Guangzhou Higher Education Association Youth Team. His father Feng Xiong is the secretary-general of the Guangzhou Golf Association and is responsible for youth training. Mother Zheng Yuyan works in the library.
A year later, she won the national runner-up. In my second year of high school, I received a full scholarship from the IJGA Academy in the United States and had the opportunity to play in the United States.
But life in the United States is much more difficult than expected.
is the money problem first. When he went abroad, Feng Shanshan spent 500,000 or 600,000 yuan from his family, which was all the savings of his parents in the first half of his life. The next year, she decided to play a career. You have to pass the exam first when you are a profession. In addition to paying money, it is also very difficult to take the exam. I will take the exam for US$5,000 once, and I will continue to pay for it if I haven’t taken the exam.
At that time, the parents had decided to support their daughter for another two or three years. If they don't pass the exam this time, they will sell their house.
Feng Shanshan is very competitive. At the end of that year, she received the LPGA qualification examination. Three years later, she won her first championship since she changed her career in the Meiji Cup on the Japanese Tour.After
, every result can become history.
In 2012, he won the LPGA Championship and became the first player in China to win the golf grand slam.
In 2013, he won the sports star Best Non-Australian Athlete of the Year. One of the opponents is Ding Junhui.
In 2016, it won the first Olympic golf medal in Chinese history.
...
That is, after winning this Olympic medal, some people speculate that Chinese golf may start the "Feng Shanshan effect".

It was reported before that Feng Shanshan always looked serious and did not smile when playing basketball. But at the Blue Bay Masters, the one I saw was not like this.
On the court, she always looks happy. In the first round of the game, Feng Shanshan finished 17 holes and was hungry, so she took out a small bag of jerky and a sandwich coated with peanut butter and jam. The sandwich was made by herself at the Players' restaurant. She said that she could only buy small ones in Asia, and she could only bring large packaging in the United States.
She often takes these foods and eats them slowly on the court, walking towards the next shot while eating.
Feng Shanshan's optimistic personality development has a lot to do with family education.
When he was a child, Feng Xiong was very strict with his daughter and asked her to do the best in everything. If the training quality does not meet the standards, he would confiscate the clubs and would not practice again. At extreme times, he even beats and scolds him. But he also warned Feng Shanshan that he should not have a bad temper on the court and start from the overall situation.
"People always have to learn to tolerate the mistakes they will make." This sentence is Feng Shanshan's current motto.
But now, the way they communicate has changed a little. Feng Shanshan once shared a story on the New Golf Network:
"My father will no longer scold me when I can't play well like before, but often joke with me. If a ball is too thin, he will say he has hit the former president of the United States ( Bush -incorrect); if a ball is too thick, he will say he has hit the world boxing champion (Tyson - too deep), which is very humorous."

When he grew up, Feng Shanshan is very grateful to his parents.
She will post artistic photos with her mother, or take a photo of her family spending the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every time there is good news, in addition to @the organizer and sponsor on Weibo, he will also add a Weibo post from his mother Zheng Yuyan.
This year on Father's Day, she posted two photos of Feng Xiong and wrote a text:
"Drag two big ball bags with me to fly for more than 30 hours to the other end of the earth, accompanying me to train, try the field, and compete, but when I got the medal, I stood silently in the audience... At every important moment in my life, there is a silent back like my father, who seems thin but full of power. Gratitude is in my heart, Happy Father's Day!"
Feng Xiong said that every time Feng Shanshan returns to China, she always brings a lot of gifts, cosmetics, clothes, and bags to her mother. The clothes and pants he wore at that time were all bought by his daughter, and the watches were also bought by her.
"She always blames me, why don't she wear the Rolex she gave me. Because every player who won the LPGA championship for the first time, the championship gift is the Rolex watch, which she gave to me. She is very filial. In addition to the welfare houses assigned by the unit, she also bought the house we live in now."
In Feng Shanshan, I saw the beautiful side of human nature. Her and her family are our most realistic ideal for this real life. Have no worries about food and clothing, have love, have a sense of accomplishment, have income, and have parents and family.

What's even more rare is that she knows how to treat her sponsors well.
In an article reviewing myself in 2016, Feng Shanshan wrote, "Many people ask why I have so many sponsors who like it. I think first of all, of course, because I am a Chinese, the Chinese market has a relatively strong potential. In addition, I am an athlete with a positive image, and my grades are not bad."
has a very refreshing mind.
Feng Shanshan is right, many sponsors like her. In 2015, her hat’s sponsor was Buick, with a sponsorship fee of US$1 million per year.Her sportswear is hung with Korean Kumho tires on the left chest and China Trust is hung on the right. The sponsorship fee for these two contracts is nearly $1 million.
After counting it, her sponsors have cross-border automobiles, finance, ball gear, watches, clothing, courts and other fields.
In May this year, " Sports Weekly " launched the 2016 China Sports Wealth List, which refers to the athletes' competition bonus, commercial sponsorship, and social event appearance fees. Feng Shanshan ranks fourth with a net worth of 33 million yuan.
is ahead of her, Sun Yang, Zhang Jike and Ning Zetao . Yi Jianlian , Zhu Ting, Lin Dan , and Zou Shiming can only follow behind.
said that she treats sponsors well because not only does she interact with sponsors on Weibo and like, but she also gives a speech on winning the championship and award at the press conference. At the end of the year, she did not forget to mention a sentence, "Thank you for my sponsors." A spokesperson like
is very responsible.

Interpersonal relationships, she also handled it very appropriately. Other athletes, whether they cross the border or not, can praise them as long as they meet them. And, praise it to the point.
She encouraged the frustrated Chinese highball player Li Haotong , who was in trouble in the Olympics, and liked Dou Zecheng , who participated in the PGA Tour for the first time. Wherever I go, I look like a big sister. Last year at Huabin's LPGA China Elite Competition, she also posted a photo with the father and daughter of Liu Guoliang .
Liu Guoliang's daughter Liu Yujie is a powerful golfer. In August this year, she just won the runner-up of the American Children's Golf World Championships. At the age of 7, the first Chinese won the second place in the world-class golf.
In September this year, Feng Shanshan also established Feng Shanshan Golf-Nansha College and began to do golf training for youth.
competitions and youth training, this is almost all the news about Feng Shanshan. Only on her Weibo can you see some life clips.
Watch Jay Chou’s concert, attend a friend’s wedding, and use scissors to take photos, "But most of the time I run in the hotel, the stadium, and the airport, and life is relatively simple."
carnivals like "Double 11", she also wants to participate. This time she caught up with the game, and she didn't have time to "shop" her. She comforted herself, "Although she didn't have time to shop yesterday, I bought two bags in Japan, one last week's one this week. I will continue to buy and buy when I return to the United States next week."
Some people compared Feng Shanshan to Li Na, a flag on the golf field. Although she said that she was just a guinea pig who explored the way for everyone in the front, it is undeniable that like Li Na, she has her own personality, which is an achievement that others cannot achieve.
They are the most internationally renowned Chinese athlete in their respective fields.

The last question I asked Feng Shanshan was about her own opinions on the court.
She said, "At the age of 10, I started playing golf, and this path was chosen by my parents. But in the process of walking this path, I set the goal of taking the PGA Tour at the age of 12. With this long-term goal, I slowly disassemble it and divide it into short-term goals, so that I can make sure that my direction is right."
In the field of psychology, such Feng Shanshan belongs to a complete "four-self personality" character. Her parents gave her the capital to be independent, but she strongly achieved self-esteem, self-confidence, and even self-improvement. She will not stop like this. Before winning the championship, she knew what it means to win Blue Bay Golf. She smiled in an interview, "If I really win the world number one, then my next goal is to enter the Hall of Fame. If I have a Grand Slam champion, I can be qualified to queue up. Maybe this dream will come true when I become an old lady. Of course, it would be better if I could enter directly."
She always moves towards that long-term goal with a comfortable attitude. Always come, even if you become an old lady.
Her inspirational and decent also gave us a lot of reference. That is, the long journey of life depends on one's practice.
