During the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Japan, American player Cohen got on the bus of the Chinese team by mistake. Chinese athlete Zhuang Zedong took the initiative to speak up and presented a Chinese brocade with the scenery of Huangshan as a souvenir.
The next day, Cohen gave a T-shirt with the words "LET IT BE" printed on it, which means a call for peace, as a gift.

On the racket, Zhuang Zedong's inscription: The small ball pushes the big ball.
