Character Introduction
In 1962, Shi Yu was born in Shanghai. His father, Shi Ning’an, was a renowned badminton player. Shi Ning’an was a Chinese-Indonesian who returned to China in the 1950s, serving as both the coach of the national badminton team and the head coach of the Shanghai badminton team. Shi Yu started learning badminton from his father at the age of nine.
In 1980, the family immigrated to Australia, and 18-year-old Shi Yu began his professional badminton career. He competed in numerous international tournaments, often facing top Chinese badminton players like Han Jian, Xiong Guobao, Yang Yang, and Zhao Jianhua, with mixed results.
In late 1985, Shi Yu represented Australia at the World Badminton Grand Prix Finals in Tokyo, Japan. After a series of fierce matches, he reached the men’s singles final but lost to China’s top player, Han Jian, finishing as runner-up.
After retiring from badminton, Shi Yu transitioned into acting, starring in several television dramas, such as Wan Jun, If Heaven Has Love, and A Stepmother’s Heart in Spring.
