“‘ Li Na ‘renounces Chinese nationality” is a popular search on Weibo

On January 4, “li na renounced her Chinese nationality” became a trending topic on sina weibo, despite a post by the consulate general of the communist party of China in busan on the same night to refute the rumor.

On January 4, a netizen posted a consular certificate on social media, on which a person named “Li Na” asked for renouncing her Chinese nationality. Netizens immediately thought of li Na, a tennis star, and the news quickly became a hot search on Weibo. More than 10 million views.

“Well done,” one netizen wrote in response to the news, “It doesn’t matter what nationality you are, people have the right to choose the lifestyle that suits them.” “It’s none of your business to change! She doesn’t owe anyone!”

“Li Na’s renunciation of her Chinese nationality is the envy of many Chinese entrepreneurs,” another tweeted.

However, many people also expressed doubt that it might be the same name. “No. 1 Li Na could not have immigrated to South Korea; Second, even immigration to South Korea, it is impossible to immigrate to Busan; And third, even if you move to Busan, that’s not the way the information is going to come out.”

After a popular search on Weibo, the Chinese Consulate General in Busan issued an emergency post to refute the rumor, saying, “The applicant has the same name as a famous athlete on his passport. He has been married and settled in South Korea for many years… . The consular certified that the picture was stolen and uploaded to Weibo for speculation.”

Sina Tennis also issued a “clarification”, saying that after checking with Li’s team, the picture of Li na and her passport number were not the tennis player as many netizens had speculated.

But so far li Na has not issued a statement to clarify.

There is network big V sarcasm: “just created a kind of emperor not urgent eunuch urgent feeling. It’s not like Li Na doesn’t have a micro blog herself. Need your help to dispel the rumor? Who do you think you are?” “Didn’t it say ‘Rumor is a prediction by a long way’?”

The relevant news is still fermenting, and as of the deadline of this article, it is still in the top 15 of the most searched positions on Weibo.

There are also posts about children and education in Li’s autobiography, ‘Playing Alone,’ in which she made it clear that she didn’t want her children to be influenced by the Chinese educational model.

“If I ever retire and have a child, I will devote myself to it,” the book says. Children’s first teacher is their parents, I have to raise their own children by hand. If possible, I want my children to have a completely different education. I don’t want my children to be influenced by the Chinese education model when they go to school.”

“It is very difficult to be a child in China. There are a lot of competitors and limited resources. The competition that children face is getting stronger and stronger. I particularly dislike such children. Jiang Shan felt the same way. He believes that Chinese people’s lack of confidence is caused by family and education, or, to be more honest, family, because parents are always telling their children what to do and everything is arranged.”

“Our primary school textbooks begin by telling you: Love the people, love the motherland; To the university just teach you: don’t spit everywhere. It’s all out of order.”

Li fought for years to break out of the system and fly solo, with great success. She won the French Open in 2011, becoming the first woman in Asia, and then the Australian Open. Li’s remarkable success has been a slap in the face to the Communist party’s juguo system.
