Table tennis has always been one of the most popular and fiercely competitive sports in the detention center, and doubles matches showcase the best demonstration of cooperation. As the competition progressed, each participant gave their best effort, engaging in a back-and-forth battle of strong attacks and defenses, showcasing excellent teamwork. After several intense rounds, the winners gradually emerged. Each participant persevered until the last moment, striving for individual and team honors. Regardless of victory or defeat, participants expressed encouragement and blessings to their opponents after the game.

They fully demonstrated the spirit of sportsmanship, incorporating the meaning of rehabilitation into the competition. One detainee, Alan (alias), expressed that although he usually played in singles matches and had limited opportunities to partner with others, overall, he performed well. However, the opponents in the doubles match had excellent coordination skills, especially in the second game, which was a bit regrettable. Despite some mistakes towards the end, he was eliminated.
