After competing in the Paris Olympics, China’s top female badminton player Chen Yufei decided to take a break from the court. Currently studying and traveling abroad, she issued a strong statement on social media yesterday, urging fans not to engage in spying behavior.
Chen Yufei wrote in her IG story: “I am grateful to be recognized wherever I go and would love to greet and chat with friends. However, I do not like being spied on; it makes me feel like I have no privacy anywhere.”
Chen Yufei firmly stated: “I am just an ordinary person who plays badminton and am not back on the court. Please respect my private life. Additionally, I have no plans to play badminton, and I am unaware of any news regarding where I might appear.”
Previously, Chen Yufei changed her Weibo account name to “Chen Yufei on Vacation” and applied for world ranking protection with the Badminton World Federation. Her return to the court remains uncertain, and she has expressed thoughts about retirement, but the national team hopes she will stay and has given her time to consider.
