1996 After winning the women's doubles championship in Atlanta Olympic Games, Qiao Hong retired from the national team and went to play in Japan. From 200 1, I studied at South China Normal University and got a bachelor's degree. While studying in Guangzhou, Qiao Hong and Guangzhou forged an indissoluble bond. She had planned to work in Guangzhou after graduation. However, a sudden transfer brought her back to Beijing. "At that time, Cai (Zhenhua) called me and asked me to go back to Wang Nan and ask me what I wanted. I was the last person to talk about the terms. Since the national team needs me, I have the responsibility to go back and help. " Many table tennis fans are still impressed by the later stories. Wang Nan, who fell to the bottom of the Asian Games in Busan in 2002, proposed Qiao Hong as her coach to the national team. Six months later, she won three gold medals in women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles at the World Table Tennis Championships in Paris in 2003. Wang Nan thanked Qiao Hong. At the end of that year, China team came to Guangzhou to participate in the final of ITTF professional tour. Qiao Hong, who has always kept a low profile, returned to her alma mater, South China Normal University, and was interviewed with Wang Nan for the first time. Their suffering and touching experience even made many teachers and students present red-eyed.

In September 2003, Qiao Hong was recalled to the national team again. This time, she has a new task, that is, to coach the China women's team for five years until the end of the Beijing Olympic Games. During this period, Qiao Hong took part in the competition for the head coach of the China women's team and studied for a master's degree in physical education at Beijing Sport University. Qiao Hong has been keeping a low profile for so many years, except in 2003 when she opened her heart to the media. It can be said that she hides from reporters. Even this time, if the new official took office and the old director Jintang Chen didn't come forward, she would have avoided an exclusive interview with this newspaper in 2008.

Miss Qiao is very dedicated.

Jintang Chen, the last veteran of Qiao Hong, is a meritorious veteran of Guangdong Table Tennis Team, and retired this year. At the beginning of this year, when the World Table Tennis Team Competition was held in Guangzhou, Guangdong Institute of Sports Technology, which belongs to Guangdong Table Tennis Management Center, began to look for a successor for Jintang Chen. This position is not easy, because with Jintang Chen in power 17, Guangdong table tennis has gone to unprecedented glory. Ma Lin won three gold medals in two consecutive Olympic Games in 2004 and 2008, which is also the three gold medals in the history of table tennis in Guangdong. "We communicated during the World Table Tennis Championships, and everyone knows that I intend to return to Guangzhou after the Olympic Games." Qiao Hong revealed that her succession was not a temporary decision. By September this year, all the dust had settled. After the National Day, Director Qiao officially took office, retired to the second line and became the head coach of the Guangdong team.

Besides business trip, when will Director Qiao return to Ersha Island training base? The answer is before 6 o'clock, 15. Before dawn, she will start from home, "usually get up at 5 o'clock and then drive back to college." Qiao Hong will take part in the morning exercises of the sports team. Although she has been there before, she hasn't got up so early for a long time. "I don't need to get up so early in the national team, which is really a challenge for me." After leading the team out of the exercise, Qiao Hong's day's work has just begun, and there are too many things to be familiar with. From coaching to administrative work, she needs a gradual adaptation process. Jintang Chen became Qiao Hong's "lifeline" at some point. Now, he retires endlessly and helps Qiao Hong's work every day, involving the team's training, competition, life, study and material selection. The reporter asked Qiao Hong when he planned to "release" Jintang Chen to his home and let him live by himself. Careless Qiao Hong deliberately said these words, so that Jintang Chen, who was standing in the distance, could hear: "There is no time! I won't let him go. " Qiao Hong admits that the old director Jintang Chen has been devoted to the cause of table tennis for 48 years. He joined the team for a long time, with sufficient experience and clear thinking, which is worth learning from the younger generation. Qiao Hong led the Guangdong team to the national championship last month. She found the director really not easy to be. "When I was the coach of the national women's team, I was in charge of five or six players. It's different now. I want to see the training of the women's team and the men's team. There are dozens of players alone. "

Miss Qiao is very modest.

When Xu Yinsheng and Li Furong, two famous table tennis players in China, learned that Qiao Hong was going back to Guangdong for administrative work, they gave Qiao Hong a lot of advice and expressed great support for her transformation. Qiao Hong returned to Beijing for two days on business some time ago and met Cai Zhenhua, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sport. "Cai Bureau told me:' Qiao Hong, you are old!' "I don't know, do I? He smiled and asked me,' It's not easy to be an administrator, is it? Qiao Hong became the director of Guangdong Table Tennis Management Center. Cai Zhenhua and national team leader Huang Biao expressed their support and wished her to lead Guangdong table tennis to another peak.

Qiao Hong admits that she is under a lot of pressure. At present, the most important task is to lead the team to play the National Games next year, which is her first important battle since her new official took office. Fortunately, she is not fighting alone. Jintang Chen said that he would do his best to help Qiao Hong. "I believe Qiao Hong is qualified for this position. She is an Olympic champion and has worked in the national team for many years. She has rich training and competition experience. " Jintang Chen hopes that he can play a guiding role and put Qiao Hong's work on the right track as soon as possible. "I' forced' her to do morning exercises with the players, which is actually to let her take the lead. We have always cooperated happily. "

Qiao Hong is very modest about the praise of his old superiors. She talked about the feeling of just returning to Guangdong. "I didn't expect the Guangdong team with such excellent results to have such a poor training and accommodation environment." Qiao Hong can't even imagine that the coaches haven't had an office for many years, and Jintang Chen can only handle business in the dormitory. "Everyone calls the place where we talk about things headquarters. I said that it is not easy to achieve such brilliant results in such a big environment. " Qiao Hong decided to learn from this hardworking old superior, while Jintang Chen tried his best to make a decent office for Qiao Hong. "We hope to create the best working environment for Qiao Hong."

Guangdong team has three names for Qiao Hong, namely, Sister Qiao, Director Qiao and Director Qiao. Qiao Hong said all three titles will do. "I don't have so many things, and it's easy to walk with leading colleagues. I won't make things difficult for people. The aura of athletes helps me a lot. The leaders of the provincial sports bureau, colleges and offices have also given me considerable trust and concern. " Qiao Hong's cheerfulness and modesty won the love of the team. No matter the coach, team members or administrators are willing to cooperate with her work, she can always get along with everyone after work, and she is a person who can always bring joy to everyone. Finally, Qiao Hong thanked the people who supported her for many years. She said that she would definitely work harder in her new post and live up to everyone's expectations.
