  Zhuang Jiafu, Cheng Jiayan and Wu Huanqun, known emeritus in the Chinese table-tennis circle, were commended recently by the International Table-Tennis Association.

  The International Table-Tennis Association has already twice granted awards to personnel of Chinese table-tennis circle before this, the first time to some table-tennis officials and the second time to veteran players Wang Chuanyao, Qiu Zhonghui and veteran coach Liang Zhuohui.

  Zhuang Jiafu is one belonging to the first generation of Chinese table-tennis players. He has for a long time worked as coach of the national team and has once been head coach of Chinese women's team. Some excellent players like Liang Geliang and Cai Zhenghua have been trained after him. He is now still active in the field.

  Cheng Jiayan, former member of the Regulations Committee of the International Table-Tennis Association and head of table-tennis department of the State Sports Committee, had been for many times in charge of arranging match schedules and lot drawing. He was the first to try lot drawing over computer that was highly appraised by personnel on the international table-tennis arena.
