The Taiwanese national table tennis team had their luggage mistakenly taken at a Japanese airport, and their coach sought help on social media. Taiwanese media outlet China Times reported on the 3rd.

Cheng I-Ching (Jung Yijin), who is ranked 26th in the women's world rankings, headed to Tokyo on the evening of the 2nd to participate in the WTT Champions Yokohama tournament, which opens on the 4th. However, after arriving at Haneda Airport, it was discovered that her crucial luggage containing match equipment had been mistakenly taken by another passenger.

Cheng I-Ching's coach, Cheng Chia-Chi (Jung Jiaji), explained on the social media platform Threads that they had boarded ANA flight NH852 from Taipei Songshan Airport to Tokyo Haneda Airport and revealed, based on the information from the remaining luggage, that the passenger who took the suitcase was named Huang (Hoang).

She then appealed, saying, "Important match equipment was inside. If you notice it, please contact us. Thank you for your cooperation. Everyone, we apologize for the trouble, but please spread the word." This post garnered significant attention, being viewed nearly 1 million times.

Internet users commented: "This is truly terrible. Don't people check before taking luggage?" "She's scheduled to compete in the Champions tournament in Yokohama. I hope the person who mistakenly took it comes forward quickly." "Please, everyone, be a bit more careful when taking your luggage. Don't inconvenience others." "Mistaking luggage is really troublesome, especially for a national team athlete's baggage. I hope it's found quickly and doesn't affect the match."

In a subsequent post, Cheng Chia-Chi explained that although they asked the airline staff to contact Mr./Ms. Huang (Hoang), who took the wrong luggage, by phone, the person never answered the phone and had not come to the airport to pick up the suitcase. She wrote, "We are very anxious. We strongly hope the luggage will be returned."

According to the article, as of 7:00 AM on the 3rd, Cheng Chia-Chi had not reported the luggage found, and other users were suggesting that she "should report it to the police." (Translated and Edited by Kitada)
