An Yan was in poor health when he was a child. Yan didn't intend to let his son practice table tennis, but Yan was always sick when he was in kindergarten. He stays at home three or four days a week. In order to keep his son Yan healthy, he took Yan to the table tennis table. "Play and play, there will be sparks."
Later, Yan 'an joined the second national team. The last time he cried was at that time: "once after playing the national championship, four people were transferred to the first team." As a result, I was gone. I cried with my parents when I got home. Very uncomfortable. " Later, An Yan got his wish and was promoted to the first team. At present, among more than 20 players in the national first team, An Yan is the youngest. An Yan performed well in the trials of the World Table Tennis Championships held in Rotterdam. In the first team test, he broke through the group stage with two main players, Wang Hao and Wang Hao. After that, An Yan narrowly beat Fang Bo 4-3 in the mixed doubles trials in the team, and got the qualification to participate in the mixed doubles competition in the World Table Tennis Championships. The bigger surprise came from the men's singles match in the team's last warm-up match. Yan An defeated Xu Xin, Ma Lin and ZhangJike all the way, but lost to Malone by 1-4 in the final, and suddenly became an eye-catching dark horse.
An Yan, who was selected for the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time, made such a promise in Cheng Fei Gymnasium: "I must play well in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time." . "Of course, the champion is a good result. If I don't want to win the championship, then I don't need to participate. "
As a result, An Yan/Feng Yalan lost 2-4 to South Korea's Shi Hezhen/Xu Xiande and missed the quarter-finals. These two teenagers also became the first batch of China players to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships. After the game, An Yan felt lost after the World Table Tennis Championships, and Feng Yalan revealed the key to losing.
Standing in the noisy mixed mining area, facing some dazzling flashlights, An Yan was in a trance. Facing the reporter's questions, his answers seemed a little slow. An Yan doesn't seem to have recovered from his first world table tennis championship.
"We lost because we didn't seize the opportunity when we were in the lead, or we weren't fully prepared." An Yan, a young Beijinger with a loud voice at ordinary times, suddenly became extremely depressed.
"Mainly lost in the fourth and fifth innings. I missed the key ball. I am too eager for success, but I still have no experience. " Partner Feng Yalan said.
The turning point of the game happened in the fourth inning. An Yan led the opponent 5-3, but Feng Yalan fouled the serve twice in a row, which stunned the young China team.
"When the game was leading 5-3, I was sentenced to serve a foul and was fined. At that time, the whole person panicked, and I never thought that I would be sentenced to serve foul. I also prepared two sets of services before. I really didn't expect this problem. If that game wins, we may not lose. " After the game, Feng Yalan said with regret.
As a teenager born in 1990s, this is the first World Table Tennis Championships between Yan 'an and Feng Yalan. Compared with Feng Yalan, who will also play in women's doubles, the World Table Tennis Championships in An Yan ended. As a matter of fact, An Yan was able to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships before, and also experienced PK with Fang Bo, and obtained a hard-won qualification. "Playing too hard, for the first time to participate in this kind of competition, the rhythm control is not good, and I can't calm down. I always wanted to kill my opponent once. I didn't expect to lose, and I couldn't think of countermeasures when there were problems and passive situations. " An Yan lost said.
The winning percentage is second only to Malone ZhangJike, and frankly, the confidence in winning the table tennis championship has greatly increased.
In both finals, Xu Xin, the top player of the other side, lost, and the winning percentage was second only to Malone and ZhangJike. An Yan has gained growth and confidence in this season's Table Tennis Super League.

In the first round of contest between the two sides, An Yan also completely defeated Xu Xin. An Yan played an important role in the final of Ningbo.
"Today's game with Xu Xin, is prepared for their own difficulties. Although she won every time before, Xu Xin is a very strong player. Now the world ranks first, with a fighting mentality. I didn't lose the 1 game, so I adjusted my mentality in time. I feel that I can control the rhythm of the game when I recover in the second game. I think the overall mentality is still good. After all, I'm still at a disadvantage. If I have a good attitude, I will not be conservative in handling the ball, I will play better and let go. " An Yan said.
Yan An said frankly that this champion comes from unity. "I am very happy to win the championship. We won 17 in a row after losing to Luneng in the first game. I think the most important thing is that our team is more United. It was dangerous to play the fifth game in several games, but we persisted! "
