Ping Pong

This show is the selected drama by NRTA

in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the PRC,

and was funded under the 2019 Art Creation of Hubei.

Episode 29

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Good.

Is that how you play ping pong?

Who taught you that?

Are you still asleep? Why are you so out of sorts?

This is the finals of the World Table Tennis Championships.

Many people will kill for the chance to be here.

Why aren't you attacking?

You are usually very arrogant, right?

You won't bow to anyone.

Show that to me.

Listen to me.

Buck up in the next round.

Don't embarrass me.

Defeat him!

What are you looking at?

You always shout when you win.

It's so annoying.

Good shot!

Finally, Yu Ke Nan found his rhythm.

Tomokazu who's not good with his forehand

is not that skilful

in his forehand defence too.

Yu Ke Nan's shot is brilliant.

Looks like Yu Ke Nan

was playing in the defensive during the last round

to observe his opponent's weakness.

In this round, he started off

with a well-planned strategy.

That's right.

But I think he was whispering something.

But we can't hear what he said.

Can you tell the difference of our shout?

You shout to win.

And I shout

to get into the court.

That's right.

This is the national team's choice, right?

You know it too.

You should be used to it already.

As athletes,

we'll have to face this choice.

Cai Wei.

Today,

When I saw our flag

being raised up in the sports arena,

I was in veneration and it made me yearned for it.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's like there a fire

burning inside my heart.

In the past, I always talked about winning

and becoming the champion.

But I didn't know what it means

to be a world champion.

But I know it now.

I, Yu Ke Nan,

will become the world champion.

Let me tell you.

In order to play ping pong, I stayed away from my family.

I gave up my friendship

and neglected my lover.

I've bet everything I have on it.

You are so amazing?

If you are so amazing, why didn't you become the world champion?

I don't need you

to teach me what to do!

You went?

Didn't I ask you not to go? Why did you go?

Why did you go then?

VIP Pass

Because of this?

No.

For more than 10 years, I've been training every day

in order to stand here today.

To become better,

I got rid of my petty tricks,

my arrogance,

my obsession with gain and loss

and my desire to show off.

Every day, I'll be swamped with new disappointment.

Every day,

I become stronger than the day before.

I'm not the only one who stand in the court today.

I have my companions who have helped me

become stronger but can't be here today.

After saying so much to you,

do you understand?

What I mean is,

I will...

No.

I have to win.

Good!

Now, the Rotterdam WTTC's final

has come to the last point.

If he can score the next point,

a new world champion will be born.

♫ Embrace your dream ♫

♫ Hold on to that hope ♫

♫ This is a lonely journey ♫

♫ It's shining brightly ♫

♫ The sky is blue ♫

♫ The dream that I'll never let go ♫

Amazing!

This is Yu Ke Nan's first World Cup

in the World Championship.

But I believe that this will not be his last!

A new star of hope for the China's ping pong team

is starting to shine!

Yu Ke Nan.

Yu Ke Nan.

Yu Ke Nan.

Congratulations for getting your first World Cup

in the men's singles of the WTTC.

You are now called the Tiger Yu Ke Nan.

At this moment,

do you have something to say to us?

I want to say something

to a very important person to me.

I want to thank him.

Without him,

I won't be able to stand here today.

Do you mean your personal coach,

Mr. Zheng?

No.

He must be watching this now.

He'll understand.

-Thank you for answering our questions. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Xu Tan from team China.

China's champion

in the men's singles.

A champion.

Mr. Fu.

Ke Nan, another world champion is born.

-Well done. -This is for you.

I don't feel tired at all. I'm full of energy.

-I'll go in first. -Okay.

Mr. Fu, did you watch the live broadcast on TV?

We have to eat hotpot tonight.

Your treat.

Of course.

Ke Nan, who are you looking for?

All of us are here.

What is it?

Are you still thinking about the Rotterdam WTTC?

To be honest, Yu Ke Nan is really strong.

He just went to Moscow

and he became the champion.

After that, it's like he's on a roll.

And he's on

a winning streak since then.

You are right.

He'll be the main player of the next generation.

Well...

About Xu Tan wanting to change out Zheng Hao,

how is the team going to handle it?

Let me tell you.

Xu Tan's situation is quite serious.

He might even be

kicked out from the team.

That serious?

We'll have to wait and see.

Mr. Fu, this...

What is the meaning of this?

One is Lvteng Sport University

and the other one is Lvteng Normal University.

Both are great universities.

You can choose whichever you want.

I know that I have problems.

But I can change.

Don't do this.

A lot of athletes went to the university to continue with their studies.

You know that.

The team is giving you this chance to do it.

You can make the change in the university.

But you shouldn't stop me from playing!

How about this?

I can go back to the provincial team.

Or the second team.

Xu Tan.

Listen to me.

Nobody can do as they wish in the national team.

I'm pressured too.

Is it because

I want to change my coach?

You yourself have a lot of issues too.

You need to stop your training and readjust.

Thank you.

The person inside, listen to me!

Come out now!

You are surrounded.

If you don't come out,

I can't do anything about it.

Xu Tan, it has been two hours.

Come out now.

You can share your issues with us.

You are back, Ke Nan.

What happened to Xu Tan?

His condition is not good. But it doesn't mean that he has to stop.

Your mind went elsewhere.

I'm sure you know the reason.

Is he in a relationship again?

Don't make a wild guess.

You won't tell me

and he won't tell me.

Did the two of them have a fight?

Stone, I'm leaving.

I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping. Xu Tan.

Xu Tan.

Sister.

Take this money.

What are you doing?

Just take it.

I already asked you not to do this.

No need to

be shy with me.

No.

I can't possibly take this.

Sister...

Uncle.

Sister,

I'll go back first.

Tan Tan, you are back.

Thank you.

You are welcome, sister.

No need to send me out.

Be careful on your way back.

Okay.

Let's eat together.

Well.

Your uncle insisted on giving me this because he heard that

you'll enter the university soon.

I can't possibly accept it.

You bought the groceries?

Give them to me.

Come, let me add more for you.

Tan Tan.

You have your parents at home.

You have your coach in the team.

But in the university,

you'll have to take care of yourself.

You have to get used to it.

By the way, if you need any reference books,

stationary

or daily supplies,

go and buy them together with your mother tomorrow.

Tan Tan.

We don't know anything about ping pong.

But since the national team

had made this decision,

they must have had their own reasons, right?

Don't think that you are being kicked out.

We have to think carefully

about our future plans.

Okay.

Are you drunk?

Why did you mention about it?

I can't believe you.

What's wrong? Are you in pain again?

Go to the hospital tomorrow to get it checked out.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Tan Tan.

Get up and eat some fruits.

Do you hear me?

Tan Tan, you must be very upset.

Listen to me.

In the past, I was against it when you wanted to

play ping pong.

And I tried to stop you so many times.

But I failed every time.

Now, let me be honest with you.

Actually,

I was afraid that you'll suffer.

But look at you.

You managed to persist

until now, right?

So, I think that

it's not a bad thing for the national team

to send you to the university.

I've

gone through life.

Actually, when you look at

something from different perspective,

you'll see it in a new light.

You are right.

If I had to take the university entrance exam,

I might not pass.

My son.

Listen to me.

No matter

you want to study in the university

or continue to play ping pong in the future,

remember this.

I will

always support you.

Okay, don't be so sad anymore.

Smile for me.

Hurry up and smile for me.

Smile.

Don't give me a fake smile.

I'll tickle you.

Hurry up and smile.

Do you hear me?

Okay. Go and park the car.

I'll take the big box.

You'll take this.

I'll be leaving now, mother.

Take good care of yourself in the university.

By the way,

your mother bought a laptop for you.

You are a university student now.

You can use it to do

your assignments or find information.

You can go back now. I'll call you.

Okay.

My son.

Take a rest if you are tired.

But if it's still your passion,

you should continue with it.

No matter what,

your mother and I will support you.

Don't forget to call us!

Ke Nan, the World Cup this time

must be very meaningful for you.

Who do you want to thank the most?

First of all, this World Cup

is very meaningful to me.

It has also helped me find back the confidence I lost.

There are many people who I want to thank.

The leader of the team and my teammates.

Especially Mr. Fu Chuan Zhi

as well as Mr. Teng Biao in the second team.

I want to thank my parents,

my girlfriend

and many other people.

Do you have anything to say to your personal coach,

Zheng Zhi, for your victory this time?

Mr. Zheng has affected me a lot.

A lot of things have happened

when I am under him.

He's the one who has affected me the most.

Can you tell us more about it?

There are too many things. I can't remember.

Look...

Mr. Fu, Mr. Gong,

did you hear

what he said?

He's so arrogant after becoming the world champion.

Do you expect the young people nowadays

to be like us in the past?

Young people nowadays have their own personalities.

Mr. Zheng.

I think

you should

think of a way

on how to communicate with the young people now.

You talked about your girlfriend just now.

Yes.

My girlfriend, Zhang Cai Wei.

She was in the women's team before this.

No one in the national team had ever made

their relationship public so openly.

I think there's nothing to hide.

After all, everyone knows her in the women's team.

If she was still in China,

she would be doing this interview with me today.

I'm sure that both of you

are cheering each other on, right?

Of course.

But we are in a long-distance relationship now.

I miss her very much.

I hope that she can retire soon.

I'll wait for her.

The interview has ended?

Sorry.

The number that you've called can't be reached for the moment.

Please call again later.

Xu Tan is still not picking up my calls.

Ke Nan.

What happened between you and Xu Tan?

Why was he kicked out all of the sudden?

Can you stop asking?

You are so annoying.

Xu Tan must be in turmoil now.

Even if we can't help him,

we have to find out the reason behind it.

Do as you wish.

Mr. Zheng.

Liu Shi, go back to your room first.

Do you know what you said

in the interview just now?

Of course I know what I said.

If the interview goes public,

do you know what will happen?

I was just being truthful.

Being truthful?

Do you think that TV station belongs to you?

Do you think you can say whatever you like?

I don't mind if you want to act childish.

But have you thought about the consequences?

I don't care what you think.

But remember.

Don't think that you are invincible

because you won this time.

Look at what happened to Xu Tan.

Listen to me.

That's the consequences for not following

my way of training.

Do you want to eat this? It's quite sweet.

Hello?

What is it?

Okay, I understand.

I'll head over there now.

Think about it

carefully.

I'm here to register.

Why are you so late? We are already packing up.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

What's your name?

Xu Tan.

Xu Tan.

Xu Tan.

Wait for a moment.

Xu Tan.

Why isn't your name on the list?

I'm in second year.

Second year?

Do we have a new student?

I don't know.

I'm already done.

Both of you are not done yet?

Almost.

He's the last student.

Management in block 6.

Wang Si Heng

Team Manager of the Ping Pong Team in Lvteng Normal University

Okay, I found your name.

Here.

Give me the file.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Let me bring you there.

Hey.

Let me bring you there.

I am Wang Si Heng. I'm in charge of the new students.

I can show you around

the campus at the same time.

It's okay.

But

it's raining so heavily and you are new here.

It's better for me to bring you there.

Thank you but it's okay.

Turn left at the end of this road and you'll reach block 6.

Lvteng Normal University

Disciplinary Committee of Dormitories

The demon king in Nirvana this time is so psychotic.

We need another teammate.

Look at the paper on the door.

I live here.

You are the new room-mate?

Our dorm supervisor said that you'll take the bed opposite of mine.

It's over there.

But you can sleep anywhere now.

Choose any bed you want.

So annoying.

Can you heal me?

Are you the only one in this room?

There were four of us.

One of them wants to continue his master. So, he moved out.

Another one

stays near here. He goes home at night.

The one in your top bunk

left last semester.

By the way, my name is Xiao Sa.

They call me Brother Xiao Sa.

Xu Tan.

You can just call me brother.

Can you cover me?

What are you going?

I don't want to play anymore.

Wait.

I'll eat my noodles first and then, I'll invite another player to join us.

Our teammate just now was too weak.

English

University-Level English

Woody, get me another life.

Water Girl, control him!

Control him!

Do you know how to play?

You are so annoying.

I asked you to control him.

Control him.

Excuse me.

Can you lower down your voice?

What are you looking at?

I'm looking at you.

I'll give you back your

quiet and comfortable space right away.

No.

Heal me, brother!

I can't play anymore. My new room-mate sleeps early.

Go ahead and continue with the game.

I'm not playing anymore.

There are only four of us.

How can we play if you don't know how to heal us?

I'll log out now.

I don't want to play anymore.

First of all, this World Cup

is very meaningful to me.

It has also helped me find back the confidence I lost.

There are many people who I want to thank.

The leader of the team and my teammates.

Especially

Mr. Fu Chuan Zhi

as well as Mr. Teng Biao in the second team.

I want to thank my parents,

my girlfriend

and many other people.

You talked about your girlfriend just now.

Yes.

My girlfriend, Zhang Cai Wei.

She was in the women's team before this.

No one in the national team had ever made

their relationship public so openly.

I think there's nothing to hide.

After all, everyone knows her in the women's team.

If she was still in China,

she would be doing this interview with me today.

Hello?

You only pick up my call now?

Do you know how many times had I called you?

Why didn't you pick up?

What were you doing?

You often didn't pick up my calls too.

I was busy.

My competition just ended.

Couldn't you send me a message

before the competition started?

How would I know when will you be busy

and when will you be free?

What did you mean in that interview?

What's wrong?

I was just being truthful.

Now, the reporters are chasing after me

to ask me about our relationship.

Just ignore them.

This is just between the two of us.

What has it got to do with them?

Yu Ke Nan.

You are not the only athlete here. I'm an athlete too.

No athlete would want

the public to pay attention to them

because she is the girlfriend of a champion.

What's the difference between you being the champion and me being the champion?

Why are you so stubborn?

Cai Wei, come back.

What's the point of playing in commercial match

for the Germans?

Try standing in my shoes.

If you were me and I were you,

would you say the same thing?

If I were you, I would...

I wouldn't live there.

You are amazing.

You made so many notes.

So, what can we learn from this story

of the farmer and snake?

How can we compel it with

the economic model in the market?

What are you writing?

I'm talking about you.

I'm making notes.

You don't need to stand up.

University is not like high school.

Everything is in the book.

There's no use to take notes.

You need to follow the lecturer's train of thought.

Okay. That's it for today.

The class has ended.
