But they may now feel heartbroken， as the 29﹣year﹣old said on Oct.21 that she would retire （退役） from the sport． I've found the answers within myself that I have been searching for． From the standpoint （ 立场） of an athlete， I'm drawing the line here，\on her blog．
After she started playing table tennis at 3 years old， Fukuhara was seen as a child gifted at the sport． Being trained in China at a very young age， Fukuhara can speak fluent Mandarin， with a northeastern accent．
If her deep﹣rooted connection with China is one thing that has won the hearts of Chinese fans， her character is another． She always shows her real self to the public without hiding her feelings． She laughs in games when she wins， and cries when she loses． The fact that she often cries when she gets upset has earned her the nickname \﹣Chan\． Although she was beaten by a long line of Chinese players， Fukuhara always tries her best when playing her favorite sport． Yet， she also knows that now is the best time to close the curtain on her successful career． It's hard to say goodbye to a long journey but as Fukuhara once said on a reality TV show， \． Instead， it is just part of life．\

In London， Van Gogh faced his first major sadness，when he was refused in love． Groupil sent him from London to Paris but， when his work was unaccepted， asked him to leave in 1876． The young Van Gogh tried during the next few years to turn himself into a preacher （传道人）， but without success．
At the age of 27， he found himself drawn back to art and decided to become a painter． In 1886 Van Gogh left Holland forever and traveled to Paris，and his painting styles went through major changes． Van Gogh's work became more youthful in Paris．
