# Zhuang Zedong

> Zhuang Zedong was a Chinese table tennis player, three-time world men's singles champion and champion at numerous other table tennis events. These accomplishments lead Zhuang as one of the greatest table tennis players of all time and a well-known political personality during the tumult of the Cultural Revolution. His chance meeting with American table tennis player, Glenn Cowan, during the 31st World Table Tennis Championship, later referred to as ping-pong diplomacy, triggered the first thawing of the ice in Sino-American relations since 1949. Zhuang was once married to the pianist Bao Huiqiao, and his second wife was the Chinese-born Japanese Atsuko Sasaki.
