In June 2025 in China, the national badminton tournament is taking place. The time of organization coincided with the international break, so many national players returned to the locality to compete. However, the most interesting face appeared in the tournament was a player who had been resting for a long time.
The “Special” character is Zhou Meng, the player who won the World Championship 2019 Women's Championship. After 2021, Zhou Meng completely disappeared on the Chinese badminton map. At that time, there was information that Zhou Meng quit playing to study abroad, and found a new experience for himself. By this year, she returned to play in the shirt of Hunan province.
No one knows how long Zhou Meng “studied” and to which countries. However, during the SEA Games 2023 took place in Cambodia, the host country had a very strong player named Chourng Meng. From the outside to the final, Chourng Meng fought 5 matches in the single and couple content, and she won.
When Chourng Meng played in the final team of men and women against Myanmar, international media soon realized this player was like Zhou Meng as casting. The incident broke right at the last match. Therefore, when Zhou Meng and his teammates won that match, a member of the Organizing Committee pulled the player into the chicken wings, not allowing her to celebrate or receive a medal with his teammates.
Zhou Meng may be a controversial character, but she really contributes greatly to help Cambodian badminton have a historic gold medal. They have done something that Vietnamese badminton may take years to look forward to, which is to play a SEA Games final and win gold. Now Zhou Meng has repatriated, and she can devote themselves to her homeland.
