A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.

In the record

Kong Linghui (simplified Chinese: 孔令辉; traditional Chinese: 孔令輝; pinyin: Kǒng Lìnghuī; born October 18, 1975) is a retired Chinese table tennis player. The birth-card coordinate for October 18 is the 4 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Kong Linghui's 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in table tennis.

Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in table tennis for People's Republic of China across 1996 and 2000. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Kong Linghui (Q445682), not a reading of character. 1996: gold in table tennis at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's doubles in table tennis. 2000: gold in table tennis at the 2000 Summer Olympics – men's singles in table tennis.

The 4 of Clubs coordinate

Kong Linghui was born October 18 (1975-10-18). Month 10 and day 18 give solar value 17, which is the 4 of Clubs (The Systematic Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1975 is unused. The 4 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Kong Linghui for People's Republic of China. Quoted system copy for the 4 of Clubs, not a biography of Kong Linghui: You put thinking into an order other people can actually use. You organize thoughts into systems. You build frameworks, structures, and processes. Your mind naturally creates order from chaos.

Kong Linghui in the public record

He competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics, as well as in the 2000 Summer Olympics and the 2004 Summer Olympics. Kong's family origin is Qufu, Shandong Province, and he is a 76th generation descendant of Confucius, as "Ling" is his generation name. In 1996, Kong won the gold medal in the men's doubles competition together with Liu Guoliang. Four years later, he won the gold medal in the men's singles competition and the silver medal in the doubles event again together with Liu Guoliang. This made him the third player to achieve a career grand slam of singles championship wins in three majors (Olympics, World Cup, World Championships). He is considered by many to be the most complete player of all time. In 2004, Kong was eliminated in the third round of the Men's Doubles Competition together with his new partner Wang Hao. Kong's style was believed to be modeled on the top European players of the late 1980s through to the late 1990s, namely the Swedes Jan Ove Waldner and Jörgen Persson, who won the World Championships in Dortmund in 1989 and Chiba in 1991 respectively.
