Zhang Jike remembers how the pose of the wax figure emerged at Madame Tussauds Beijing on July 20, 2021. The wax figure recreates his classic scene of ripping-his-jersey celebration after he won the men's singles final at the World Table Tennis Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 2011. "I remember this posture was made when I couldn't hide my excitement after winning the championship. It was the first such championship in my career, and it was also a milestone for me. At that moment, my heart and emotion were very complicated, as my years of hard work were recognized and paid off," he says. [Photo courtesy of Madame Tussauds Beijing]
