(Malacca, 6th) National badminton players from Malaccawon the mixed doubles championship in the World Badminton Championships, offering the most special gift to Malaysia on National Day; the glory of Du Yiwei on the court comes from the long-term struggle behind it.She accompanied her through ups and downs and growth along the way, and played an extremely important role on this path.

Du Yiwei’s parents felt extremely glorious about their daughter’s achievements today. They also hoped that their daughter would stay healthy and return safely to reunite with their families, and continue to move towards the world’s first goal.

Du YiweiOn that day, his father Du Guoqing (57 years old, administrative manager of the Securities Bank) and his mother Yang Shuzhen (57 years old, executive secretary) were guarding in front of the TV to witness the historical moment when the Malaysian flag rose on the stadium.

Father: I am still moved when I watch the event many times

Du Guoqing: “Mrs. She was so moved that she burst into tears, because her daughter had experienced ups and downs and persisted for so many years, and finally did this time!”

He said that the day coincided with National Day, which was even more meaningful, so no matter how many times I watched it again, I still felt very moved.

Du Yiwei took the racket from the age of 6, went to winning awards in elementary school, entering a sports school, joining the Badminton General Office, and then experiencing injuries, temporary retreat, surgery and comeback. She has gone through countless setbacks over the past 19 years, and there are always support from her parents, sister Du Yiqing, grandmother and relatives. After winning the World Badminton Championship, the whole family congratulated her on video call, including her 83-year-old grandmother, and her family will arrange dinner to celebrate this glory.

Positive encouragement never criticized failure

Member of Congress in Downtown AUnder the arrangement, Du Guoxian and Yang Shuzhen said in an interview today that they have a close relationship with their daughter since childhood and have always supported her in badminton, but have never criticized or blamed her when she lost the court, but have positively encouraged and accompanied her.

The father laughed even more and said that his daughter became a national badminton player and made the family’s life more exciting, especially if he had the opportunity to watch his daughter’s games at home and abroad, witnessing each success and failure; even if he could not watch the game on the spot, he would watch the live broadcast of the football match, and his mood became nervous as the score went up and down.

“My daughter knows what she wants and sets her goal to become a world champion. As a parent, she sometimes feels very distressed when she is hurt by hitting and stumbles, so she just hopes that she will not be hurt, and safety is the most important thing.”

He also observed that his daughter smiled and was confident in appearance when she appeared at the World Championships, and was more calm than before. “I hope she will continue to work hard and move towards the dream of being the world’s largest mixed doubles.”

Mother Yang Shuzhen said that as an athlete’s parent, her mood often rises and falls like a roller coaster. Sometimes she receives a call from her daughter to inform her that she is injured, and she will go to Kuala Lumpur with her husband to visit her. For example, last year, she told me that she was injured in her elbow during training and was in the hospital for treatment. She had a total of 16 stitches, but she returned to the training ground on the fourth day, showing her love, seriousness and persistence for badminton.

She smiled and said that Yiwei was naughty when she was a child. She was “banned” by her parents twice for not conducting physical training. She was stored in the storage room because she did not conduct physical training seriously. In the end, she was “unblocked” because the coach asked her to play in the game.

She also revealed that Yiwei loved basketball during her elementary school years and was the captain of the basketball team. She also learned martial arts. Later, because she was in the same period as the badminton training period, she finally chose to concentrate on badminton. Now she won the World Badminton Championships, Yiwei will return to her alma mater Cultural Primary School next Wednesday (10th).

Strong wrist strength is recommended for training in state teams

Du Guoxian said that when Yiwei was 6 years old, he bought a badminton racket to play with her and found that her daughter had strong hands. Later, when she was in Cultural Elementary School, the school coach thought that her wrist strength was strong, so she recommended her to the Malacca State team for training. At the age of 9, she won the singles gold medal for under 10 years old in the Melaka Badminton Championship, which is also her first medal.

He said that when the Malaysian Badminton Badminton selected 13-year-old young players nationwide, Yiwei was one of the candidates. He then went to Bukit Galil Sports School to study and received badminton training for 6 and a half days a week. At that time, both of them were reluctant to part with their daughter, so they visited their daughter almost every week for the next five years, caring about their current situation and fitness.

Retired due to surgery for bone tuberculosis

“My daughter suffers from sinusitis and needs to breathe with her mouth when playing ball, and she always insists on not giving up. In 2018, she temporarily withdrew from the Badminton General for rest due to surgery. When she was undergoing training for several months, she still bleed from time to time. Later, she returned to the national team to train.”

Yang Shuzhen said that after the COVID-19 epidemic, she received mixed doubles training from the Badminton General Office and won the championship in three international competitions. Unexpectedly, tuberculosis broke out during the isolation period when she returned to China after the game. She was diagnosed with bone tuberculosis and caused back pain and needed to take medicine for up to one year.

“During the treatment period, my daughter felt that everything she ate was smelly, so she ate very little; two or three months later, she went back to the Baldwin General to start re-examination training, everything started from scratch. At that time, she could not play in the competition, and her mood was affected, and we felt very depressed.”

She said that after re-election in 2021, her daughter will play more than 10 games a year and strive to qualify for the Olympics; the 2023 record report shows that Yiwei jumped from the world ranking of 272 to 22, and became the first place in Malaysia’s mixed doubles and the ninth place in the world mixed doubles.

She said that her daughter often invites her parents to watch the game, and if time allows them, they will definitely go. On weekdays, the family will contact each other through mobile groups and share their current badminton situation.

She described her daughter as being very caring and attached to herself, knowing that her family is of medium condition, so she will not put too high material requirements on her parents. In addition to occasionally asking for shoes or other equipment, she will buy it with the competition bonus.

Qiu Peidong said that behind the success of each player, the hard training of his parents and the time, money and spirit he devotes are very important, and deserves everyone’s praise and learning.

“From Yiwei’s parents’ sharing, we are inspired to not give up easily when facing challenges and twists and turns in life. The mentality shown by the Du family is an important force for her to finally reach the world championship.”

He also recalled that he shared breakfast with Du Yiwei’s family this New Year. On his way back from London in March, he met Yiwei who returned from the All England Championship on the plane. At that time, he encouraged her to continue working hard. “Now, she has indeed reached the world’s peak and became the mixed doubles champion of the World Championships. We should continue to give her support and encouragement and help her reach another peak.”
