　　Our (blind) table tennis project is very different from the normal table tennis project. First of all, although our ball is the same size as a normal table tennis project, it has a built-in ringtone, and our balls are all on the table. Rolling up is not about jumping over the net, but attacking back and forth under the net.

　　According to Xu Zongliang, his school started to develop this sport in 2012, which is considered relatively early in the country, but the original intention was not for competitive competitions.

　　I was curious and interested when I came into contact with this sport. I played table tennis with them when I had time after school. I insisted on practicing with them, and then I was selected. The first competition should be in 2018. In the top eight, it was fourth in 2019, and I hope it will be better than this time in the future.

　　In Li Fangqin's view, the little ping-pong ball not only makes a sound, but also a strength that brings her self-confidence, and also brings boundless hope to their little friends.
