The Wang Era

[Oldhand]

On the international circuit, first there was Wang Chen.
And she's still around... and going strong too.

Now China has:
Wang Yihan
Wang Lin
Wang Xin
Wang Shixian
Wang Xiaoli
Wang Siyun

Anymore Wangs waiting in the wings? :eek:

PS: Chinese Taipei too has two Wangs:
Wang Chia Min & Wang Pei Rong

[suetyan]

Wang Zhengming? hehe....

[Oldhand]

Wang Zhengming? hehe....
But he's not yet on the professional circuit, is he?
We haven't seen him after the Asian Juniors last year :)

PS: And he is the only 'male' Wang in this group!

[Qidong]

I think there are even more for Zhang also.

Zhang Ning, Zhang Jiewen, Zhang Juan Juan, Zhang Yawen, Zhang Jun, Zhang Zhiyong, Zhang Wei .....

But don't see many from the other 2 major last name, Li and Ho.

[teoky]

Not surprising as Wang, Zhang and Chen are amongst the top ten.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surnames

However the most common surname Li is not well represented in the players fratenity but maybe in the coaching fratenity ? I know Li Mao and Li Yongbo only.

We haven't seen him after the Asian Juniors last yearWell, we did see him when he won the World Juniors (http://www.badzine.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1377:world-juniors-finals-no-stopping-zhengming-and-saina&catid=8:international&Itemid=39) in Pune.

But he's not yet on the professional circuit, is he?This is basically true. Apparently only one tournament: 2006 Bitburger Open (http://old.internationalbadminton.org/player_info.asp?playerid=23736)

PS: And he is the only 'male' Wang in this group!Of course.

Wang Xin looks like a Jiang Yanjiao clone.
The hair, the clenched fist, the low grip... and more!

[robin7]

I think the best of the best of the best of the Wang-s was Wang Lianxiang (people outside China know her as Susi Susanti!!!).... ;) but when Susi competed in China, she was always announced as Wang Lianxiang... ;) Until today, the Chinese commentators used Wang Lianxiang to describe Susi...

Wang Chen is no doubt very good (and durable), but Wang Lianxiang outdid Wang Chen in every way. Olympic gold medal, All England champion, 2 Uber Cups, 1 Sudirman Cup, 6-time Indonesian Open champion, rank #1 for 5+ years (I think) etc. I also agree with Susi's decision to retire [when she was 27 to start having babies and be a good mom]. Retire when you're still awesome! :cool:

Wow, thanks for sharing this nugget.
I didn't imagine she too is a Wang :)

If Wang Lin and Wang Yihan are the current Wang princesses, Wang Lianxiang [a.k.a. Susi Susanti] is the Empress Dowager Wang... :D

[vedriegas]

I still choose Wang lin in wang era..

WANG Lin & WANG Yihan

[rwchen]

Wang Zhengming? hehe....
Yes, I am looking forward to seeing him on the senior stage. Since he is still in China team II, it may be unlikely to see his paticipation in senior circuit this year. He stands out among the juniors and he is talented. I am hoping to see more new faces in men singles who can pose threat to the current top players. It seems like there is a dearth in talent especially in men singles. There is noone like Taufik, Lin Dan or Lee Chong Wei who stamps their prominence at a young age. Hopefully Chen Long, Tago , Tanongsak ,Jan O Jorgenson and Tan Chun Seang will make it big in the next one or two years.

[simonlovers]

Zhang Ning, Zhang Jiewen, Zhang Juan Juan, Zhang Yawen, Zhang Jun, Zhang Zhiyong, Zhang Wei .....

Indonesia have one..
Zhang Haili...

[suetyan]

Indonesia have one..
Zhang Haili...
Zhang Dan and Zhang Zhibo too :D

[event]

Most Korean players named "Jang" actually have that same family name, so that includes '95 All England champion Jang Hye Ock (張惠玉) and also Jang Soo Young(張水榮), but not Jang Young Soo(裝瑛秀).

Please note that Wang represents 王 & 黄, Mine is the former.

[Gladius]

That's 'Wong' not 'Wang'. There's only 1 chinese surname pronounced as 'Wang', and its written as 王

Whereas in parts of asia outside of China, the surname 'Wong' can represent "王" or "黄". Examples of known personalities would include "Wong Fei Hung" which 'Wong' represents "黄". And Joey Wong, which in this case "Wong" represents "王". :rolleyes:

Not only one chinese surname pronounced as "Wang" in China. So far I know there are two, which are "王" and "汪". Both of these also pronounced as “Wang". I think there are more than two also.

That's "汪" 'wang 1', first sound in hanyu pin-yin, "王" is pronounced as 'wang 3', third sound in hanyu pinyin. An example would be Lisa Wang, the HK veteran singer/actress. In Chinese 'BaiJia Xin' " List of 100 family surnames ", there is only one surname pronounced as "王" 'wang3' . It was something decreed in history by the chinese emperors, no second surname of similar pronunciation was allowed. In fact it was allowed purely as an exception.

I know "王" is pronounced as second sound whereas "汪" is pronounced as first sound. But in your previous post you only mentioned "Wang" but you did not mention the sounds. So, when "王" and "汪" are written in english, there is only one word, which is "Wang". Since this forum is an international english forum, I guess most of the members would not care about the chinese surname, as long as they know both words also pronounced as "Wang". :rolleyes:

[Ajaib]

how about WANG RONG from China,,, she's Jun jae youn compettitor's when they were juniors...
now WANG RONG will play @ Thailand open GP this year....
hope that she will perform superb.. :)

[Thom_bad]

Looks like we have now Zhengming Wang, a ms player from China.
He has just beat the rising star KTago in the semis of ABC

lets wang chung tonight

[Thom_bad]

Do you mean this Wang Chung ?

I think now is not only for Wang but also Lee era..

Lee Yong Dae
Lee Hyo Jung
Lee Kyung Wong
Lee Chong Wei

:p:D

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...................


Bruce Lee ???? :D:D

Lee Yong Dae
Lee Hyo Jung
Lee Kyung Won
Lee Chong Wei
Lee Wan Wah
Lee Hyun Il
Lee Jae Jin
Lee Tsuen Seng
Lee Dong Soo

i think the LEE's are moreNot so many of these are part of a new generation, though. Li Xuerui(李雪芮) seems to be, though. The spelling may be different when Romanized but it's the same in Chinese. The same goes for Li Tian(李田) and Li Gen(李根) though they have yet to make an impact on the senior and junior stages respectively. I think the Wang point is well made.

[Qidong]

They have the same last names but not related. They still can't compared with Sidek brothers. I wonder it's a world record that so many brothers play in the national team of any sport.

[Jonc108]

Please note that Wang represents 王 & 黄, Mine is the former.

in Mandarin, 王 = Wang, 黄 = Huang; so they are different...
in Cantonese, both 王 & 黄 = Wong;
of course there are other local language like the Fukinese pronunciation usually used in South East Asian Chinese communities that Singaporeans and Malaysians may be more familiar with...

[AlanY]

Indonesia have one..
Zhang Haili...

another not so obvious Zhang,

Mia Audina (張海麗)

[flikflak]

Is it her Chinese name or is it dubbed by Chinese media? How come Mia Audina can be Zhang Haili?

[Thom_bad]

Look at this http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/ranking/player.aspx?id=1659&player=117941

WANG Rong is ranked no67 WS, she was no110 last week :eek::eek::cool:

The best Wang (王) ever - Susi Susanti (王蓮香) :)

Yup, agree :D
Susi a.k.a Wang Lianxiang had won all prestigious "Grand Slam" titles in her badminton career :)

[ctjcad]

WANG Rong is ranked no67 WS, she was no110 last week :eek::eek::cool:
..that certainly is possible, esp. with WR 68 til 110 bunched up tightly together, in terms of points, plus if none of those players participated in any tourney nor progressed much if they competed..:cool:

[Thom_bad]

She won the Bitburger last week..:)

Looks like the Wang era has a bright future with this young talent..
