When I saw Liu Weishan's helpless smile after drawing Sun Yingsha, I suddenly remembered my college exam days

I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break yesterday, sipping my bubble tea that was already losing its fizz, when I stumbled upon that viral clip of Liu Weishan. You know the one - where she learns she'll be facing Sun Yingsha in the next round of the National Games table tennis tournament, and this mix of resignation and amusement flashes across her face.

That little smile of hers - it wasn't quite a grimace, not really a laugh either. More like when you're playing cards with friends and you draw the worst possible hand, but you have to play it anyway. She said she'd 'try her best, take it one point at a time,' and honestly? That hit different.

It took me straight back to my sophomore year in college, when I found out my economics final would be graded by Professor Zhang - the same professor who'd failed 40% of the class the previous semester. I remember sitting in the library, staring at the course schedule, making that exact same expression Liu Weishan did. My roommate caught me and asked if I was okay, and I just showed him the screen. He patted my shoulder and said, 'Well, at least you know what you're up against.'

What struck me about Liu's reaction was how human it felt. In elite sports, we often see athletes maintaining perfect poker faces, giving standard 'I'll do my best' responses. But here was this genuine moment - the quick intake of breath, the slight shake of her head, that wry smile that said 'Well, this is going to be interesting' without her actually saying it.

I dug up some stats later - Sun Yingsha is currently ranked world number 2 in women's table tennis. Facing her is like being a local band suddenly asked to open for Beyoncé. The pressure must be insane. Yet Liu's approach of 'one point at a time' is probably the healthiest mindset anyone could have in that situation.

It makes me think about how we handle our own 'Sun Yingsha moments' in life - that job interview with your dream company, that presentation to the board of directors, that difficult conversation you've been putting off. Sometimes the mountain seems too high to climb, but you start with one step, then another.

My economics final, by the way? I ended up getting a B+. Not my best grade, but definitely better than I expected. Professor Zhang wrote 'Good effort' on my paper in red ink - I still have that paper somewhere in my old college boxes.

So to Liu Weishan, and to anyone facing their own version of a 'Sun Yingsha moment' this week - here's to taking it one point at a time. Sometimes that's all you can do, and honestly? That's enough. What about you - ever had a moment where you faced something much bigger than you expected? How did you handle it?
