Deng Yaping, 1973, was born in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province on February 6th. She is a former China female table tennis player, an Olympic champion and a Grand Slam table tennis winner. She is now the founder of Deng Yaping Sports Industry Investment Fund in Henan Province.

Deng Yaping's Early Experience:

Deng Yaping was born in a table tennis family, and his father Deng Dasong was a table tennis player in Henan Province. Since Deng Yaping was more than two years old, his father often put Deng Yaping on a bicycle and took Deng Yaping to the workers' club to watch them play. Deng Yaping learned to play table tennis with his father at the age of 5, and his father developed a set of training methods different from routines.

At first, Deng Yaping shot horizontally. Because Deng Yaping was slow and had short arms, she was asked to take publicity photos the next year. In two years of training, Deng Yaping practiced all forehand attacks. This special training method can't be found in all table tennis textbooks. Deng Yaping was particularly serious since she was a child. Deng Yaping encountered many difficulties in her growth.

Because she is short, the provincial team doesn't want her. My father told Deng Yaping all this. Deng Yaping understood his father's meaning: if others say you can't do it, you should fight for breath and practice more. Therefore, Deng Yaping was excellent since she was a child, and her training was particularly hard.
