2025-07-10 18:32:48 +0000 UTCWhen the cartoon was drawn, no other country could compete with China's table tennis prowess. Table tennis is China's national sport, with children being recognised for their talent from an early age. Those with talent are brought up from an early age in a specialised education system. While it is very difficult to become a national table tennis player in China, there is enough income to support a family. Japan's population is less than one-tenth of China's. Its table tennis population may be larger than Canada's, but much smaller than China's. At the time, Japanese table tennis was probably ranked second or third in the world, but the gap between first and second place was significant. Table tennis is very popular in Europe, especially in Scandinavia, and there are even professional leagues. When Kon was removed from the Chinese national team, probably at youth level, I think he considered joining a professional European league. I don't know the details of the situation, but I think He was unhappy about being excluded from the national team and playing for a Japanese high school instead of in a European professional league. And if he achieved overwhelming success in Japan, albeit at a lower level than in China, his chances of returning to the Chinese national team would increase. However, if he only achieves mediocre results, he will be forgotten as a table tennis player in both China and Japan.
