Character Introduction

Goh V Shem (May 20, 1989), real name Goh Wei Shem, also known as Goh Wei Shen, was changed to his current name in late 2015 for transit. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, he is a Malaysian male badminton player who specializes in doubles events. He won a silver medal in men’s doubles badminton at the 2016 Olympics, partnering with Tan Wei Keong.

He was first introduced to badminton by his father at the age of 10 and attended Bukit Jalil Sports School at the age of 13. After graduating from Form 5 at the school, he was selected as a reserve member of the Malaysian National Badminton Team and in 2007, at the age of 17, Goh Wee Say was sent to participate in the World Junior Badminton Championships in Auckland, New Zealand, where he played with Ong Kian Kok in the Men’s Doubles competition and eventually won the third place.

In November 2008, Wu Weisheng and Ling Wenhui competed in the Malaysia Badminton International Challenge and won their first international tournament title by defeating the tournament’s top seed and teammates Wang Jianguo/Yan Dezai 2-0 (21-19, 21-18) in the men’s doubles final.

In 2011, Goh Wee Seng, who has become the No. 1 men’s doubles player in the national reserve team, decided to change his full Malay name from “Goh Wei Shem” to “Goh V Shem” after his father consulted a feng shui master; and later changed his Chinese name to Later, he changed his Chinese name to “Goh Wei Shem” in the hope that the new name would make his badminton career smoother.

Goh first teamed up with Lim Khin Wah in 2010 and became the No. 2 men’s doubles team of the Malaysian national badminton team, dubbed the “Wulin Duo” by the media. The duo won the 2010 Malaysia International Challenge and reached the quarterfinals of the 2012 India Super Series.

In mid-2012, Goh Wee Shin asked his coach to dismantle the “Wulin duo” because he believed that the pair lacked stability, and that even if they tried their best, they could “not get any sparks”, and that “it might be better for each other to go their separate ways! Maybe it’s better for each other to go their separate ways.” During this period, Ng worked with Zhang Yuyu and won the Malaysia International Challenge.

At the beginning of 2013, Ng said that he and Lim Chin Hwa reunited after six months of separation, believing that they “understood each other’s problems better after they had calmed down after their separation”, and that they had a better understanding of each other than before. During the year, they reached the quarterfinals of the Malaysia Super Series and Badminton Asia Championships before winning their first Grand Prix title at the Malaysia Golden Grand Prix.

In the middle of 2013, Wu Wei-Shen thought that the “Wulin duo” had not won any major championships in the past three years, “without a goal, it is meaningless to continue”; so they decided to split up again, and notified the coach to arrange to find a suitable partner.

In January 2014, Wu Wei-Shen and Lin Qinhua teamed up for the third time to play in Malaysia’s premier super tournament and reached the men’s doubles final. In the end, they defeated the Chinese pair of Chai Biao / Hong Wei 2-0 (21-19, 21-18) to win their first ever Super Series title.

In the 2014 Thomas Cup, Goh Wee Seng and his partner Lim Chin Hwa were selected for Malaysia’s entry list, but in the group qualifying round, Malaysia temporarily paired Goh Wee Seng with Tan Wee Seng in a surprise tactic and managed to beat South Korea’s Kinshalang/Kim Kee Jung, and then faced Denmark’s Carsten Mogensen/Jokin Fischer-Nielsen and Japan’s Sonoda Although Malaysia finished as runners-up, the outstanding performances of Goh Wee Seng and Tan Wee Seng have made them a permanent pairing since the end of the Cup.

After the pairing, they won gold and bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games in August and the Asian Games in September. After that, their form declined and they were often eliminated in the first two rounds of the tournament. In order to change their luck, the two of them changed their names together at the end of 2015, with Chen Weiqiang changing his name to “Chen Weiqiang” and Wu Weishen changing his name to “Wu Weisheng”. After the name change, the two won the U.S. Badminton Grand Prix. Because of the change of name, both of them have the word “Wei” in their names, and have been called the “Double Wei Combination” by the Malaysian media and the public since then.

In August 2016, world No. 12 Goh Wee Seng/Tan Wee Keong qualified for the men’s doubles event at the Summer Olympics and advanced to the last eight of the group stage with a clean sweep. In the last eight, the pair met the tournament’s top seeds, Lee Yong Dae/Yoo Yeon Seong of South Korea, and fought hard to win a close match in three sets, 2-1 (17-21, 21-18, 21-19), and advanced to the quarterfinals as dark horses[24]. In the semi-finals, the pair defeated the Chinese pair Chai Biao/Hong Wei 2-1 (21-18, 12-21, 21-17). In the final, Wu Weisheng/Chen Weijiang met their group stage opponents, Fu Haifeng, one of China’s previous Olympic doubles gold medalists, and his new partner Zhang Nan, and lost 1-2 (21-16, 11-21, 21-23), missing out on Malaysia’s first ever Olympic gold medal, but achieving a silver medal in their first Olympics.

The duo of Goh Wee Seng and Tan Wee Keong peaked after winning the silver medal at the Rio Olympics, first winning their first Superseries title since pairing up at Badminton Denmark’s premier Superseries tournament, and climbing to No. 1 in the world rankings on Nov. 10; followed by the second-highest points tally to qualify for the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Superseries Final, as they didn’t miss out on the twelve Superseries tournaments of the year in 2016 They qualified for the WBF Super Series Finals with the second-highest number of points and won their first Super Series Finals title with a straight-sets victory over the conference’s top-seeded Japanese duo of Kenshi Kamura/Keigo Sonoda in the final (21-14, 21-19).

After entering 2017, the duo did not perform as well as they did last year, with their best results coming in the last eight of the All England Open, India Open and Singapore Open, and were eliminated in the first round of their home tournament, the Malaysian Open.In September 2017, Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) President Nosar announced that Goh Wee Seng and Tan Wee Keong would be split up, with Goh Wee Seng partnering Teo Goh Yew Yew and Tan Wee Keong partnering Ong Yew Sin.

In December 2017, the Malaysian Badminton Federation announced that Wu Weisheng and Chen Weijiang would be re-partnered.
