Many netizens said, "I haven't seen enough, Xiaopang got off work..."
. In the game, Fan Zhendong
. From the camera, fans found that . Fan Zhendong's figure was very eye-catching, especially his strong arms and chest muscles, which caused heated discussions. Many netizens said that Fan Zhendong is no longer the "little fat" who has "only one abdominal muscle" teased by his predecessors. Now, Fan Zhendong has achieved full body management scores after half a year of special training, and has changed from "little fat" to "Dong Ge". Some netizens said, "Brother Dong is so thin now!!! The chest muscles are all out."
Starting from the ITTF year-end finals at the end of 2017, Fan Zhendong kept winning the championship. In the world rankings in April 2018, Fan Zhendong ranked first for the first time. The new "world number one" firmly confirmed in the following year that he was not a false reputation. The Asian Cup men's singles champion, 8 wins in the World Table Tennis Championships, Asian Games men's singles champion, World Cup men's singles champion, three open men's singles champion...
However, when he said to Ma Long for a long time, "The future is Fan Zhendong's", Fan Zhendong has his own understanding, "By defeating Ma Long, we prove that the future is his own. This is just a definition imposed by the outside world. In fact, no matter who is opposite, I will do my best."
"No. 1" also proves that
Last year was a very meaningful year for Fan Zhendong. First, he lost to Ma Long in the men's singles final of the Tokyo Olympics, and then to "revenge" Ma Long on the National Games, and then to Houston's first men's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships. During the "Paris Olympics" cycle of the national table tennis team, Fan Zhendong has successfully taken over the baton of "No. 1 National Table Tennis".
Fan Zhendong, who has been active in the world for a long time, is only 25 years old this year. In the past September, he realized his dream and entered Shanghai Jiaotong University. As a freshman in the 2022 sports communication class, Fan Zhendong said, "I am very happy to be able to report to the college as a freshman. I hope I can gain more professional knowledge in my future study and life."

The word "Young Fame" is indeed appropriate for Fan Zhendong. However, for Fan Zhendong, he clearly remembers every game he lost and won in recent years. He also has many regrets, and he is still working hard for the expectations of the outside world."I know myself better now than before. I know that if I want to achieve a goal, it cannot be achieved by relying on particularly strong impact and explosive power. I belong to the type of 'Gathering sand into a tower'. I have not achieved the future that everyone is looking forward to. This is also the direction of my efforts. This self-understanding prevents me from living in these expectations from the outside world. What I have to do is to do what I should do well and do without regrets." Fan Zhendong said.
At last year's Tokyo Olympics, when Ma Long and Fan Zhendong stood on the finals, many people said, "This is a battle for the era." Unfortunately, Fan Zhendong failed to defeat the big brother. After more than a month, the two met again in the National Games. This time, Fan Zhendong took revenge with great pleasure, and many people said that "the future belongs to Fan Zhendong." However, Fan Zhendong himself was very modest, "I remember Chairman Liu Guoliang told me a few years ago that I cannot only see Ma Long as the only opponent. Several years have passed, and I have matured a lot. My opponent is indeed not the only one. If there is only one person in my eyes, then my pursuit of dreams and career is actually not pure." Fan Zhendong said.
Fan Zhendong has a long way to go in the future in the game, and there will be many opponents. Fan Zhendong wants to fight in a field and go step by step.
