Fan Zhendong, born in Aquarius, Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province on January 22nd, 1997, was originally from Qidong County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. Fan Zhendong studied in Tongfu Middle School (Table Tennis Key Primary School), Haizhu District, Guangzhou City. Graduated from Guangzhou Sports Vocational and Technical College. Fan Zhendong&;s parents are ordinary workers working in Guangdong. Before Fan Zhendong went to school, his parents heard that there were sports teams in primary schools, and children who entered sports teams could be exempted from some tuition fees, so they enrolled him in Guangzhou Haizhu District Children&;s Palace to learn table tennis. Before being selected to Guangzhou Weilun Sports School, he studied under Haizhu District Children&;s Palace and Haizhu District coaches Wen Haoguang, Yang Biyu and Zheng Jingxuan. Fan Zhendong took part in the competition in the city on behalf of the primary school, and was chosen by the city sports school. She attended classes every morning and took time off in the afternoon to go to the city sports school for training. Fan Zhendong studied well from an early age, and his father thought he was interested in playing ball, so he wanted to let him take the road of playing ball first. If he couldn&;t, he would go back to school. Although Fan Zhendong plays well, he has always left a way out for himself. &”;Until I went to the team and contacted Wang Hao, the main players of the national team, I began to have the idea of entering the national team.&”; Fan Zhendong still remembers that when he first arrived in the team, he walked into the training hall of Beijing Hongshankou National Defense University. When he met Wang Tao for the first time, he was so nervous that he couldn&;t even play the ball. &”;That team played a big circle, with a total of fifteen or sixteen people. I always felt that Coach Wang was watching me.&”; However, nervousness belongs to nervousness. Fan Zhendong&;s sixth place in that big cycle is not bad. At the end of 2011, Fan Zhendong participated in the training of the second national team and provincial and municipal teams in Tongzhou, and won the first place in the big circle. In February 2012, he entered the national team as he wished. &”;I was really excited at the time, but I was not very good at expressing myself.&”; Origin of the nickname &”;Xiaopang&”; Zhendong teacher Sharla Cheung revealed the origin of his nickname: the nickname &”;Xiaopang&”; was first called in Weilun Sports School that year. Because Fan Zhendong was so cute with a round head and a round brain when he was a child, everyone called him &”;Fatty&”; in Cantonese. Later, when he came to the national team and the national team, &”;Fatty&”; was rather awkward, so everyone changed his name to &”;Xiaopang&”;.
