Glenn cowan was born in a Jewish family in the United States on 1952. Because table tennis was very popular in the United States at that time, Glenn Cowen, who was less than 10 at that time, naturally played table tennis, but I am afraid no one would have thought that this sport, like a butterfly flapping its wings in South America, caused a "tornado" in China many years later.
At that time, Glenn Cowen took part in a country table tennis competition because he was good at table tennis, and finally he won the championship. Table tennis was originally a hobby of Glenn Cowen, but when Glenn Cowen 14 years old, his father died and the whole family collapsed. Glenn Cowen has no money to continue his education. Glenn Cowen had to drop out of school and take part in table tennis competitions everywhere to make money. As he played games longer and longer, his strength changed.
197 1, that is, 49 years ago, the 3 1 world table tennis championship was held in Nagoya, Japan. At that time, Glenn Cowen thought his skills were already very good, so he signed a contract with the American team. While Glenn Cowen was waiting for the game to start in Nagoya, Japan, the China table tennis team also came to Nagoya, Japan. What a coincidence! Once, Glenn Cowen came back from going to the bathroom.
It was awkward. When glenn cowan got on the bus, he was caught off guard when he saw a car full of strangers staring at him. China table tennis team also looked puzzled. Somehow, an American got on his car. You know that the relationship between the two countries was frozen at that time. Who knows what this American wants to do? At this time, a man stood up and broke the deadlock. This man is Zhuang Zedong, and Zhuang Zedong is a three-time table tennis singles champion.
Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, China table tennis team drove Glenn Cowen back and gave Glenn Cowen a Hangzhou brocade as a gift, but the time after that surprised people all over the world. Glenn Cowen was photographed by reporters from all walks of life as soon as he got off the bus. The news that "American players get out of China's car" spread all over the world in an instant. The client Glenn Cowen did not respond. He thinks that the China table tennis team gave him a present and he should return it himself. So I gave him a sweatshirt the next day with the sign of "peace" and the words "let nature take its course" on it. At this time, various media interviewed Glenn Cowen instantly, and Glenn Cowen also expressed his desire to play in China. This is a very exciting "table tennis diplomacy" event.
At that time, as soon as the 3rd1World Table Tennis Championships was over, Glenn Cowen and the American table tennis team arrived in China, and two friendship table tennis tournaments were held in Beijing and Shanghai respectively. After that, everyone knows that the diplomacy between the two countries broke the ice in an instant. If it weren't for the misunderstanding that Glenn Cowen got on the wrong bus, it would take many years to "break the ice". No one knows what will happen during this period, saying that he has rewritten it.
