As Chen Xu, chairman of Zhejiang Tianlong Tennis Co., Ltd., advocated in his speech at the opening ceremony of the 5th "Rongwang Tianlong Tennis Cup" in 2019, he hopes to promote the popularization of national fitness sports through competitions and create a "happy tennis, healthy life". The concept of tennis brings more happiness and health to everyone.

In the Xi’an Shimai tennis team, there is a special player who not only has no left arm, but also lacks index finger, middle finger and ring finger on his right hand. He can only rely on his thumb and little finger to hold the racket and hit the ball with a continental grip. . It is in the difficult circumstances that ordinary people can hardly imagine, this player not only can swing on the court like a healthy person, but also won the respect of his opponents, perfectly interpreting the concept of "happy tennis, healthy life". He is 57-year-old Xiao Zhizhong, from Xianyang, Shaanxi.

An accident more than 40 years ago caused Xiao Zhizhong to lose his fingers and arms, but he was not knocked down by difficulties, but actively faced the challenges of life. Seven or eight years ago, Xiao Zhizhong, who lives near Xianyang Normal University, was attracted by the charm of tennis and picked up a tennis racket. After putting in countless hard work, Xiao Zhizhong can finally hit the ball with the edge on the court. In 2015, he participated in the competition for the first time, starting in Shaanxi Province, and then starting to compete across the provinces. This time he came to Rongcheng to participate in the "Tianlong Cup", which was the farthest he was from home.
