Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on October 21, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Lee Chong Wei! You're the only badminton legend who can gracefully smash shuttlecocks and still charm us with your humble smile. Ever since your Olympic debut in Beijing 2008—where you dazzled the world by clinching that unforgettable silver medal—you've been serving up inspiration faster than opponents could blink.

From epic rallies to nail-biting finals, you've given fans countless reasons to cheer (and occasionally scream at our TVs). May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer shuttlecock bruises. Keep smashing life's challenges as effortlessly as you dominated on court—we'll always root for Team LCW!
