Good conditions can be played with advanced tables, poor conditions can also be played with cement tables, and several tables can be played together without tables. Fortunately, the weather can be played in the open air, and you can play in a small room when it is windy and snowy.

In a word, this sport is especially suitable for China's national conditions, is widely loved by Chinese people, and its overall level is relatively high, so it can be called a national sport.

Thirdly, table tennis has contributed to the long-term stability of China.

On April 4th, American Cohen accidentally hitched a ride with China. Zhuang Zedong gave Cohen a Hangzhou brocade embroidered with Huangshan scenery, and Cohen later gave Zhuang Zedong a sweatshirt with a symbol of peace. This dramatic event suddenly became sensational news.

On April 7th, Mao Zedong decided to invite the American team to visit China on the eve of the closing of the competition, and Nixon immediately agreed to the Chinese invitation.

197 1 In the spring of, the American table tennis delegation paid a historic visit to China, and a friendly table tennis match between China and the United States was staged in Beijing, which left a political influence on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and opened the door for people-to-people exchanges and diplomatic breakthroughs between China and the United States.
