    Save and read Star article.

    Dont fully agree though, I think Sang Yang/Zheng Bo

    play better together.

    I don't really recall Chen Kang & Chen Hong Yong as being that good to be in the same class and Li/Tian. In fact, the lost the deciding doubles to Cheah/Soo, ultimately handing the tie to Malaysia 3 - 2 in the 92'
    Thomas Cup.

    Back then, I only know about Li/Tian as the Chinese doubles.

    I think Chen Kang & Chen Hong Yong were quite effective in Thomas Cup

    1988 and 1990. The china team was on decline in 1992.

    They were also World Champs runners up in 1989 in Jakarta.

    One of them had the distinction of being the first Chinese pair to beat

    Park/Kim in 1988 somewhere in China.

    It's true I can recall badminton of early 80s clearly, late 80s vaguely and

    can remember nothing of the early 90s.
