After wandering in Australia for several years, Tong Ling decided to return to his hometown of Sichuan. "I was trained in Sichuan. Although I was selected to the Beijing Military Region team at the age of 15, I was 13 to represent Sichuan in the third National Games and won the women's singles championship in the junior group. " Tong Ling, born in Zigong, entered an amateur sports school to learn table tennis at the age of 8. Here she met Zhang Rongxi, the coach who had the greatest influence on her life. "Zhang has been in poor health. In order to cultivate us, we are often too tired to vomit blood. At that time, I was still young, but when I saw coach Zhang lying in the hospital bed, I had an indescribable taste in my heart. Whenever I fall behind in the game, I will think of him. " Tong Ling recalled. At present, Sichuan women's table tennis is at a low ebb, and only Li Xi has entered the mixed doubles final stage of the 10th National Games. At this time, many people think of Tong Ling. Why doesn't she go out as a coach? Tong Ling thinks: "Professional teams are dozens of athletes at most, but there are also many amateurs. Now advocate national fitness. I prefer to focus on cultivating the next generation. Like now that students are on holiday, many children play ball here. If there are good players, I also want to recommend them to professional teams. " Regarding the present situation of Sichuan women's table tennis, Tong Ling said, "I think the difficulty is temporary. It takes time to train young players, but it will definitely get better. "
