He Zhili was originally from China. Why did he become a Japanese citizen?

Because she wanted to go to Japan to play table tennis, she wanted to get good grades to fight back against those who stopped her from playing table tennis in China at that time. After being buried by the table tennis team, she married a Japanese named Hideyoshi Yamayama and obtained Japanese nationality. Then she played table tennis as a Japanese.

At the age of 20, she won the Asian Championship and later won the women's team championship in the World Table Tennis Championships.

Let the ball pass? After the incident, the superior leaders were so angry that they even wanted to expel them from the table tennis team. Later, with the mediation of other leaders, He Zhili was finally able to stay on the table tennis team, but he was disqualified from participating in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. He Zhili angrily announced his retirement on 1989.
