I'm with me, I've been around for a long time, and I'd rather be me. After experiencing the ups and downs of international competitions, what Wang Manyu, who is now a world-class champion, wants to do most is "I want to get back the pure love I had for table tennis when I was a child".

　　王曼昱覺得自己天性是e人，從小就喜歡打球，喜歡贏球。5歲，在隨媽媽和大姨去菜市場買菜的路上，王曼昱第一次接觸到了乒乓球。教練韓連貴在菜市場附近擺了個小攤為乒乓球學校招生，他說，從來沒見過如此有天賦的小孩：一上手就能連續顛球幾十個，揮拍動作也不走形，第3天就開始多球練習，學了20多天就開始打敗大孩子了。半年後，王曼昱第一次參加齊齊哈爾市少兒乒乓球賽，就拿了第七名。

Wang Manyu enjoys the joy of playing very much. "I didn't need my parents to supervise me when I was a kid, and I never stopped getting sick and feverish. The more you put in, the more you study, the more chances you have to win, the more you win, the more you want to study, the more you study, the more you win, it's a virtuous cycle. ”

When a girl wants to win so badly, she is full of life. Wang Manyu advanced all the way and made great progress: from the children's school in the community activity room to the Qiqihar Sports School, from being selected for the Heilongjiang Provincial Table Tennis Training Team to the successful selection of the national youth team, and finally promoted to the national first team in 2016 years.

After entering the Heilongjiang Provincial Table Tennis Team, her parents put down everything and accompanied her to an unfamiliar city to set up a stall on the street to make a living. "When they put in for me, they weren't sure if I would make it in the end. But I am grateful to them for not hesitating because of the uncertain results. There is no doubt that this has greatly affected Wang Manyu's values, what is a person set out for, not to work hard when he sees hope, but to work hard to see hope.

Wang Manyu feels that victory and success are difficult to completely change a person, only failure and setbacks will. From the substitute player at the Tokyo Olympics to the backbone of the team competition of the Chinese table tennis team at the Paris Olympics, Wang Manyu experienced the glory and cruelty of competitive sports in the ups and downs. In the trough, as long as you don't choose to quit completely, everything has to go on. Keep practicing every day and keep facing the same opponents. None of this changes because of someone's defeat or loss. Time flows at a fixed pace in different races and tournament cycles, and what you have to do is beat it down.

Fortunately, outside of her championship status, she began to push the boundaries of her life. She became more interested, went to reading, got a driver's license, made a journal, drew blind boxes, learned to cook, and began to try to relax herself and enjoy a carefree vacation. Life outside of training and competition has become more three-dimensional and multi-layered. This taught her to look at table tennis from a different perspective: perhaps pure love can support people to go farther, more stable, and lighter than winning or losing.
