“The beginning of contact with tennis”
From Tuong Town in Pingtung, remembering when I was a kid playing with my brother and dad at Chaozhou Sports Park, it was very strange to see Abe playing tennis. My mom noticed many times that Tangcheng and his brother would always watch Albert tennis when they were in the park, while Mom was actually worried about Tuong City and his brother. I had been watching TV all the time, so I decided to ask my brother if he started trying tennis. At first, his brother started playing tennis, when he was six years old, and then his mom asked him again, which is how he started his path to tennis.
“Tang Cheng Guo Kai Mong Coach --- Ting-Yi Kwok 』
THE BROTHER'S ENLIGHTENMENT COACHES ARE COACH GUO TING-YI, WHO MAY HAVE A PERSONAL CLASS COMPARED TO OTHER ATHLETES. HE SAID THAT HE HAS BEEN A GROUP CLASS FROM JUNIOR BALL TO NOW, WITH MANY CHILDREN, AND CONTINUES ON WEDNESDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, FRIDAYS 19:00-21:00, AND BADMINTON LESSONS ON TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS AND THURSDAYS. Junior 2, only began to change to practice tennis every day from 19:00-21:00, until the graduation of Kwong Hua Guo Elementary School (Pingtung).
“Hot Spring City in China -- Facing Future Choices 』
While in high school because they were too tired to practice the ball, my parents insisted that they could not give up their studies. At this time, they were faced with two options, one was to stay in Pingtung to continue their studies, and to go to Nancheng in Central China in Tainan and join the team. Tangcheng chose the latter and also went to school in Tainan, which he said he began to force himself. You become an adult and independent, you take care of all your laundry, socks, life's trifles, and accommodation is for four or six people. You also need to learn to work with your peers, resist many temptations, and classes are not horseshit either, middle school life, 645: morning run, 7:30am self-study, afternoon 15:30 Go to practice early and practice until 7 in the evening.
Tang Cheng also said that the way coach Zhang Shengjie taught at the time was one of the reasons for the great progress. Coaches not only knew their students' strengths but also developed their own playing style based on the merits. At the time of National Year, Tang Sheng said that he clearly felt that his physical fitness and ball quality were evident. In a change, Yung Shing youth ranked No. 5 at age 14, while his classmate Huang Yusheng ranked third.
One of the most impressive matches in the National League was the Poly Cup A, where he met Chen Chun-yu. In fact, he had no confidence in himself, so it felt normal to lose in the first round, because he felt that the other side was more strong. In the second round, he changed his way of playing, was more aggressive, let go of the fight and bring the event to the third plate.. The result, which was unexpected in Tangcheng, Chen Chenyu's spasms and abandonment, will impress this event is because it is the first time in his life to win a high ranking and enter the final four. From this event, I also realized that there are many things that tennis cannot master during the current tournament, and the variables are large, So I also learned that sometimes when you face your opponent, don't want so much, try your best, and feel more confident after this game, and in fact you say you can't get better.
“A small regret of missing the graduation ceremony in China 』
Tang Cheng felt that his greatest growth was to think about tactics, his style, and how his playing strengths were matched, especially better thinking before going to bed. Tang Cheng also reminisced about National League Two, when he was rebellious, arguing with general coach Liao Jun-nam over sponsorship issues, and because all of China's sports about team singles doubles. There were again disputes with the coach, but in the end it was well communicated and resolved with the coach.
Later, Tang Cheng also won the individual doubles title with Huang Yushiang and placed fifth in the team, rose to third place in the country. The coach allowed Tang Cheng to practice with his high school. At the age of 16, he placed second best. The goal was also to play the World Youth Team in Taiwan. Also, because of Sai Qing, he wanted to go abroad to play in the ITF (at that time because ITF1 = 5 points from the domestic youth ranking), beat five ITF positions, and therefore missed the graduation ceremony, although it was a little regretful in my heart, but for the goal to be worthy, the national team again won the individual doubles gold medal with Huang Yu-xiang in the third time, and the team also broke through to the gold medal.
“Qualified for the World Youth Taiwan Cup (abbreviated as World Youth)”

In order to achieve his youth goals, he chose not to attend sports classes when he chose high school. So he chose South Tech, wanted to take part in the classes. He was also inspired by the professors of Nanco, Li Phan, Chen Huan, and Yin Shaobao Bo. Inspired by learning, the inner heart knows that there is a choice. 6:45am, 7:30am to class until 15:00pm, 15:30 — 19:00 is practice time. At the top level, Tang Cheng also won the OPI 16 men's singles championship at the highest level of youth in the country. At the end of the last semester, winter break , Tang Cheng also continued to play IT, and finally completed his own goal with Yang Kai-xiang and Huang Yushiang to be selected for the World Youth Team.
Tang Cheng said that when he was selected for the World Youth, he wanted to be in the top three in the Asian region because the top three can play in the world group and learn with the top teenagers from other countries. It must be a good experience, and it is also an important indicator of a tennis player. In the end, although he did not make it to the World Group, he also got Asia Good performance in the sixth place in the continent.
“Application to American Universities”

He continued to play in ITF singles, reached the top three, fourth place, and high two times also got the third and third highest in the Chinese team. It also took the second place in the all-Chinese shipping group.
