Club Career
Du Ping started his football career in the 1998 Chinese league season with top tier football club Shenyang Jinde where he would gradually establish himself as talented attacking midfielder. His performances for his club would soon see him called up to the Chinese international team and on February 16, 2003 he would make his debut against Estonia in a friendly, which saw China win 1-0. By the 2004 Chinese league season, league runners-up Inter Shanghai purchase him for Four million Yuan, however in his debut season a poor run of form and injuries saw him only limited to six league games without scoring. While he would overcome his injuries the following season his performances were not as inspiring as the club were hoping for and the team finished the league in eighth.
In 2007 he joined Hong Kong First Division League club South China on loan and made his debut for the team in a First Division League match against Workable as a substitution player on 26 September 2007 where SCAA won by 6-1. On 16 October 2007, it was released on SCAA Official Blog that the contract with Du Ping was terminated due to his discipline problem. The issue was mainly due to a quarrel between Du Ping and teammate Detinho before a match against Citizen on 13 October 2007. Detinho also received a verbal warning after the incident. After his brief period within Hong Kong, Du would return to China and tranferred to second tier club Shenyang Dongjin before joining third tier football team Panjin Mengzun in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
