Fan Zhendong was born in a very ordinary family. His parents are ordinary workers working in Guangdong, and his family conditions are not very good. Before going to school, fan Zhendong's parents heard that there was a sports team in the primary school. The children who entered the sports team could avoid some tuition fees, so they signed him up to learn table tennis in the children's palace of Haizhu District, Guangzhou. As the saying goes, it was fan Zhendong's parents' unintentional move that contributed to his road to the championship.
In a later interview, fan Zhendong said that he was very grateful to his parents for sending him to learn table tennis. In his later study, he did not give his parents less trouble, but they always supported fan Zhendong and gave him great help.
