Why does everyone follow the "King of the World"?

When Oh Sadaharu retired as manager of the Softbank Hawks in late October 2008, he traveled from Fukuoka to Tokyo to visit newspapers, wire services, and television media companies. No professional baseball manager had ever visited every media company to say goodbye to them upon retirement. In Tokyo, he visited more than 20 companies over two days.

At the meeting the king bowed his head and said, "Thank you very much for all your hard work over the years," and then said:

"I will continue to support Akiyama from now on."

Akiyama is referring to his successor, Koji Akiyama. Even though he will be involved with the team as the president of the Hawks, he will be the first manager in Japanese professional baseball to personally visit the club, express his gratitude, and ask for the best of luck to his successor.

This incident symbolically shows what a king is like as a person.

One of Wang's beliefs is "not to cause trouble for others." It was something remove background image his parents taught him from a young age. His father, Shifuku, came to Japan from Zhejiang Province, China, before the war and married a Japanese woman, Tomi. He ran a ramen restaurant called "50ban" while dreaming of raising his eldest son to become a doctor and his second son to become an electrician, and then returning to his homeland to help the poor. But then the Sino-Japanese War broke out. On top of the handicap of living in a foreign country, they also had to live in an abnormal environment where Japan and their homeland were at war, and they probably thought that "not to cause trouble for others" was absolutely necessary. The children followed their parents' teachings. Their older brother became a doctor, as their father wished.

The king's parents had also told him, "You will live for two," because the king was a twin, and the other girl had died shortly after birth.

Looking back on Wang's life, it seems that he has faithfully followed these two teachings from his parents.

During his playing days, he worked twice or even three times harder than others. After joining the Giants, he literally bled while practicing with coach Hiroshi Arakawa because he knew that head coach Takehiko Bessho and others were blaming Arakawa, saying, "When are you going to hit the ball? You're the coach, so let me hit it!" Oh said, "At first, I felt like I had to practice for Ara-san," and it was the same when he first hit with the one-legged batting style.
