Patrons at Yang Xiao Chu, a petite Chinese restaurant which has become an unofficial clubhouse for athletes, team officials and fans alike.

Much to his disbelief, he has now served luminaries of the game in China, like Ding Ning, a three-time Olympic gold medallist; Liu Guozheng, a former player and popular commentator; and Zhang Yining, a four-time gold medallist considered one of the best players in the sport’s history.
