Even with such low res video, still quite entertaining. These two guys in their primes were so good, especially Guo with lightening fast footwork and quick forehand loop who can challenge even the top players today. I don't know how Guo could block Jiang's nasty forehand shorts repeatedly from his awkward backhand position.
In those days, this became a fixed match when two Chinese players played against each other. It was a hidden rule among them. Jiang revealed this when he was a commentator on TV in the 90s.

This was a honest match but it is said that Jiang was given the title in 85 against Chen Loncan. The most obvious one was 87 Jiang getting matched up all the way to the final. Look at this horrible display in the semi-final.. watch?v=uzZDQYl-NAM

We knew this a lot earlier. In the 1985 final between Jiang and Chen it was painfully obvious the Chen wasn´t allowed to win.
