A Chinese girl named Li Yi has been playing table tennis for over a year. She shows good results in this sport, but hard training is behind her success, and they sometimes bring the exhausted baby to bitter tears. But the tantrums of the child, apparently, pass by her parents, who continue to persistently drive her to the section.
Lee attends workouts five to six times a week, each of them lasting several hours a day. The girl’s coach, by the way, is very strict – she demands maximum dedication and perseverance from her and works with Yi as if she were not a child, but an already established table tennis professional. Of course, this burden puts pressure on the small shoulders of the schoolgirl, but she, despite all the difficulties, does not give up.
Lee easily wins every competition in his age group that he enters. The schoolgirl’s parents are happy with her victories, but note that talent alone would not be enough to achieve high goals. According to mom and dad Yi, if their daughter wants to become a professional, then she needs hard training to reach new heights.
However, you can see for yourself how the girl’s classes go and how deftly she handles a tennis racket, as if she had already won a medal at the Olympic Games. The video with the training process was published on December 12 in the community edition of the South China Morning Post on Facebook. In a week, the video gained 12 million views, and this, apparently, is not the limit.
However, viewers did not share Lee’s parents’ optimism about her athletic future. People are sure that the girl is forced to play table tennis against her will.
