Scheuer from the US studies at Tsinghua University. He is also a table tennis player. China has many talented table tennis players who train really hard. Scheuer also heard that another reason is that there are a large number of ping-pong fans for the sport in the country. Almost everyone can play a little. To see whether it’s true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out. The active scene surprised him. At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing table tennis. A man said that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He plays for two hours every day. He was even named one of the “Beijing Masters” when he was 70. “I’ve noticed that I’m the youngest player here in the park,” said Scheuer. Then Scheuer visited a table tennis club. There, many kids were practicing. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said playing table tennis helped her relax after doing schoolwork. The visit made Scheuer truly admire great interests that Chinese people have for table tennis. As China’s national sport, table tennis is as popular as soccer and basketball here.
