After rising to prominence as a badminton star, Lin Dan carried the hopes of countless people, and the pursuit of the Olympic Games gradually became the focus of his life. Everyone, including himself, anticipated that he would win the gold medal at the Athens Olympics to bring glory to his country.

However, fate played a cruel joke on Lin Dan at that moment, dealing a severe blow to the confident athlete. Before the Athens Olympics, Lin Dan suffered an unexpected injury. During the competition, extreme nervousness led to poor performance, causing him to repeat the fate of early elimination and lose in the group stage.

In several major tournaments that followed, Lin Dan faced a series of setbacks, losing consecutively to foreign players Taufik Hidayat and Lee Chong Wei. At this time, public criticism of him intensified. Many fans left comments suggesting that the "uncrowned king" Lin Dan was a braggart. Others mocked Lin Dan, who played with his left hand, joking that even if he switched to his right hand, he would not have lost so miserably.

Under immense pressure, Lin Dan actively adjusted his condition and worked hard on tactics, striving to prove himself in subsequent matches. However, as the Beijing Olympics approached, the criticism against him grew even more intense. He first had a verbal altercation with a Korean coach and then had a misunderstanding with his coach Ji Xinpeng, which was described by the media as a physical altercation. During that period, almost all unfavorable rumors targeted Lin Dan, a time he described as being surrounded by widespread slander.
