Every era comes to an end, and so did that of Uzi (Jian Zihao). As one of the greatest players of the Chinese battle arena game League of Legends (LoL), Uzi is known for his role as Attack Damage Carry (ADC).
每个时代都有落幕之时，Uzi（简自豪）的时代也是如此。作为游戏《英雄联盟》中国赛区的顶尖选手之一，Uzi在游戏中以打物理输出核心位置(ADC)而著称。
The legendary Esports player officially announced his retirement at age 23 on June 3 due to health problems, including shoulder and hand injuries, which have become too painful to bear. During his eight-year career, Uzi has gone through ups and downs.
6月3日，这位传奇电竞选手正式宣布，由于肩膀和手伤疼痛难忍等健康原因，他决定在23岁这年退役。在8年的电竞职业生涯中，Uzi走过了不少起起落落。
At age 15, Uzi started playing LoL professionally in the Royal Club, the forerunner of the current Royal Never Give Up (RNG). While Uzi’s parents didn’t support him, he didn’t give in and continuously proved to be one of the most skillful players in the world.
15岁时，Uzi开始在皇族俱乐部战队（即如今皇族电子竞技俱乐部RNG战队的前身）打起了《英雄联盟》的职业比赛。尽管Uzi的父母并不支持他，但他并没有让步，而是不断力证自己是世界上技术最好的选手之一。
At the 2013 LoL World Championship, Uzi was pitted against and defeated the team Oh My God (OMG) in what was a seemingly unwinnable situation after all his teammates were “killed”. This awarded Uzi international fame.
在2013年的英雄联盟全球总决赛中，Uzi在队员“全灭”、几无胜算的情况下，逆转局势战胜OMG战队。这场比赛也让Uzi在国际上一战封神。
Uzi stood at the peak of his career in 2018 when he helped RNG sweep multiple championships in many events, including the 2018 Asian Games, and Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), giving China international Esports recognition.
2018年，Uzi迎来了职业生涯的巅峰，他助力RNG战队拿下了包括2018年雅加达亚运会、英雄联盟季中冠军赛在内的多场比赛的冠军，让中国电竞获得了国际上的认可。
“The Asian Games also changed the minds of many people that Esports are not merely playing computer games,” he told CGTN.
“亚运会也让许多人的观念发生了改变，电竞不仅仅是玩电脑游戏而已，”他在接受中国国际电视台采访时如此表示。
But he suffered a loss during the 2018 LoL World Championship. “If I could start it over, I [would] do better,” Uzi said.
但他却在2018年英雄联盟全球总决赛中惜败。“如果能够重来一次的话，我会做得更好，”Uzi表示。
To be a top professional player, Uzi practiced strenuously for over 10 hours every day. Intensive training brought injuries. In an early 2015 interview, Uzi talked about his injuries, “Once I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said my arms are similar to that of a 40-to 50-year-old.”
为了成了一名顶尖的职业选手，Uzi每天都要花十几个小时努力训练。高强度的训练也带来了伤病的困扰。在2015年的一段早期采访中，Uzi谈及了他的伤病，“我去医院做检查，医生说我的手臂就和四五十岁的人一样。”
Besides that, he has been diagnosed with Type II diabetes due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Uzi has been trying to control the disease through diet and exercise.
此外，由于不健康的生活方式，他还患有二型糖尿病。他也一直在通过饮食和运动来控制疾病。
For Uzi, the only title he did not win was the LoL World Championship. But all hope is not yet shattered. As Uzi told CGTN, “If my physical and mental health could be resumed in the best state, I will be back to my beloved Esports.”
对于Uzi而言，英雄联盟全球总决赛冠军是他唯一还未能赢得的冠军头衔。但希望却并未破灭。正如Uzi在接受中国国际电视台采访时所说，“如果我的身心健康都能恢复到最佳状态，我会回归我心爱的电竞。”
