Why did Zhang Benzhi and his family become Japanese citizens (Zhang Benzhi and his family were naturalized in Japan)

Recently, according to media reports, Japanese table tennis player Zhang Benzhi and his family have officially joined Japanese nationality. At the same time, Zhang Benzhi and his parents also joined the Japanese table tennis coaching group.

Among them, the last one to join Japanese nationality was her mother Zhang Ling, who has now changed her name to Zhang Benling; Zhang Benzhi, his sister Zhang Benmei and his father Zhang Benyu finally completed the naturalization procedure for the whole family in Japan.

Zhang Benzhihe's father's real name is Zhang Yu, and his mother's real name is Zhang Ling-they are the main players of Sichuan Table Tennis Team and National Women's Table Tennis Team respectively, and Zhang Ling once participated in the World Championships with Deng Yaping and Qiao Hong as teammates.

Zhang Ling retired from the national team at the age of 23, and then his family immigrated to Japan, where he gave birth to his son Zhang Benzhi and his daughter Zhang Benmei. Now, their sons and daughters have become the main force of the Japanese table tennis team, and also the two major rivals of China table tennis in the next decade.

Supposedly, China, as a big table tennis country, has sent table tennis immigrants to many countries in the world without much controversy and waves. However, the Zhangben family will cause some controversy from time to time. Why?

This is mainly because at the beginning of his fame, Zhang Benzhi took the initiative to ask for Japanese nationality mainly to enter the Japanese national team. This is actually nothing. However, in the process of becoming famous, Zhang Benzhi and publicly emphasized to the media that "I am Japanese; I must beat China and win the Olympic gold medal ",which seems to be suspected of hyping China table tennis and has become the main reason why some China fans are dissatisfied with it.

Zhang Ling, Zhang Benzhi's mother, cried in an interview with the media four years ago, saying that Zhang Benzhi was criticized by China fans, saying that she didn't naturalize in Japan and didn't intend to change her nationality in China. But now, obviously, after all her children have achieved the goal of entering the Japanese table tennis national team, Zhang Ling is now "Zhang Benling".

In fact, to put it bluntly, as China people who immigrated to Japan, the reason why the Zhangben family changed their nationality and changed their name to Japanese flavor is obviously to integrate into Japanese society, express their immigration center, get recognition from the Japanese, facilitate their entry into the national team, and maximize the value of fame and fortune-this is understandable.

As long as Zhang Benzhi and his family don't use table tennis as a propaganda tool and stunt, I believe that China fans won't have too much resentment and resistance to it-after all, the word "Ben" was specially added to the Japanese name changed by this family named Zhang, so we can still feel the heart of their family. Maybe we haven't forgotten the word "Ben"? Original comment: Yu said that he is still resting.
