When did Lang Ping immigrate?

China women's volleyball team is not only a sport, but also represents a spirit. Generation after generation of women's volleyball girls have practiced this way and inherited the spirit of women's volleyball.

Although the performance of China women's volleyball team in the 20021Tokyo Olympic Games was not so ideal, the girls of women's volleyball team still showed their spirit to the fullest.

As early as 198 1, the China women's volleyball team won the Japanese World Cup with a record of winning all seven games, which was the first time that the China women's volleyball team won the World Cup.

From then on, until 1986, China women's volleyball team won the first "five consecutive championships" in the world volleyball history.

Zhou Xiaolan at that time was arguably the strongest blocking athlete in China's history. Not only that, but she is also a noble person who saved the women's volleyball team from the trough.

Because she invited Lang Ping to return to China to be the head coach of women's volleyball team under great pressure. If Lang Ping is the superhero who made the women's volleyball team, she is the hero behind the scenes.

The young Zhou Xiaolan is the most beautiful girl in the women's volleyball team. She once appeared on the cover of popular movies with Gong Xue, the best actress in the Golden Rooster Award. She is the most successful player in the women's volleyball team. At the age of 38, she became the deputy director of ball games of China State Sports Committee. She is also the most distinctive woman in the women's volleyball team. At the age of 39, she resolutely resigned and went to the United States for love and settled in a foreign country.

What kind of life experience does such a legendary woman with personality have that can make her give up fame and fortune and move away from home at the peak of her career?

Zhou Xiaolan, 1957, from Nanjing, Jiangsu. Her parents are both intellectuals.

In the 1960s, Zhou Xiaolan's parents actively responded to the call of the country and came to the northwest to revitalize the industry. So Zhou Xiaolan, who was only three years old, was sent to her grandmother's house in Shanghai. Although she was not accompanied by her parents, she also spent a happy childhood at her grandmother's house.

When Zhou Xiaolan was 9 years old, her parents worried that she would neglect her studies because she was not disciplined, so she took Zhou Xiaolan over to take care of her. Since then, Zhou Xiaolan has gradually grown up under the strict education of her parents, and strict education has also developed her strong character.

Zhou Xiaolan spent several happy years with her parents. However, the good times did not last long, and this happy life only lasted for four years.

1970, the movement to the countryside also spread to Zhou Xiaolan's home. Zhou Xiaolan's parents were sent to a small village in Gujiao County, Shanxi Province, where 13-year-old Zhou Xiaolan began a hard life.

Compared with the city, life in the countryside can be said to be a world of difference. The roads here are rugged, the houses are simple, and food and clothing are scarce. Even drinking water requires going far away to choose.

Zhou Xiaolan, who grew up in the city, never carried water before, and fell down the first time. At that time, the water spilled and her hand was worn out, but even so, she didn't go home crying, but quietly got up and patted the dust on her body and turned to fetch water.

At this time, although Zhou Xiaolan's height has grown to more than 1 m 7, this does not change the fact that she is only 13 years old in her bones, so her strength is not great. When she came home with two buckets of water, it was inevitable that she would stagger, and she was still walking on a rugged road. The road was unstable and the buckets were dangling, which made it difficult for a little girl to move forward, but she always gritted her teeth and never complained.

Even though life is hard, Zhou Xiaolan's parents never give up her education.

At that time, the school was nearly 20 miles away from Zhou Xiaolan's home. Every day, Zhou Xiaolan has to climb a mountain and walk 20 miles on the rugged mountain road to get to school.

Sometimes in stormy weather, the mountain road is covered with mud, so she slips and walking to school step by step in the heavy rain.

All the year round, whether it is hot or cold, she always walks on her way to school alone in the hot sun and heavy snow.

The hard years in the countryside not only strengthened Zhou Xiaolan's body, but also honed her tough character. In those years of living in the countryside, Zhou Xiaolan also encountered an accident that made her sweat behind her back.

It got dark early this winter. It was a little dark when Zhou Xiaolan left school. At this time, she met a wolf on her way home alone.

I'm afraid I'm in trouble when I meet a wolf in this deserted place. But Zhou Xiaolan didn't do nothing. With her familiarity with the terrain, she got into a cave.

She hunched over and hid in the cave with a stone in her hand. The atmosphere dared not come out, staring at the outside, for fear that the wolves would find her trail.

In this way, she stood in the cave for a long time At this time, it was already dark outside. Suddenly, she heard footsteps outside and got the nerve to look out. The passer-by is an uncle in the same village. As soon as she saw an acquaintance, she put her heart at ease, gritted her teeth and ran home.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Xiaolan saw her mother hovering in the yard. At this moment, she finally burst into tears, tears streaming down her face.

When she came home safely, her mother finally felt relieved. The two mothers stood in the yard and cried for a long time. This is also the most tears in Zhou Xiaolan's memory.

When Zhou Xiaolan entered the sports world, she was 16 years old, which was very old among the newcomers at that time. Generally speaking, physical training should lay a good foundation from an early age, and then after more than ten years of practice, you will have the opportunity to become a professional athlete.

So/kloc-can Zhou Xiaolan, 0/6 years old, become a professional athlete?

Zhou Xiaolan's chance to become an athlete is accidental. 1973, Zhou Xiaolan participated in the sports meeting held in Taiyuan with the encouragement of his friends. At that time, Zhou Xiaolan was a head taller than her peers and stood out among a group of girls, immediately attracting the coach of the basketball team of Taiyuan Sports School.

However, because basketball was very popular at that time, there was no room for a basketball team. In order to stay, Zhou Xiaolan had to come to the volleyball team with few people at that time.

Zhou Xiaolan was originally trained with the mentality of staying and practicing first and then returning to the basketball team. But from the moment Zhou Xiaolan picked up volleyball, she fell in love with the sport and never thought about changing teams again.

Zhou Xiaolan, 16 years old, is one of the older players. In boring and hard training, many girls often cry because they can't stand the hardships of training, but Zhou Xiaolan never feels hard, but is more interested in volleyball.

Speaking of volleyball, she feels full of strength and fighting spirit. Compared with the hard work she experienced in the countryside, these trainings are only a dime a dozen in Niu Yi.

After strict and arduous training, Zhou Xiaolan's strength has been continuously enhanced, and she gradually emerged from the sports school and was selected into the Shanxi women's queue. Zhou Xiaolan is very happy. She dreams of becoming a member of the national women's volleyball team one day.

Fortunately, another opportunity to get close to the national women's volleyball players appeared. From 65438 to 0977, the first Youth Volleyball World Championship was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The coach of the national team came to volleyball teams in various provinces and cities, hoping to select excellent athletes to represent China in this competition. There is a hard and fast rule in the Youth World Championships that all participating athletes should not be over 20 years old.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaolan, who was under 20 years old at that time and was 182 cm tall, attracted the attention of the coach of the national youth volleyball team. After selection, Zhou Xiaolan successfully entered the national youth team, which means that she will go to Brazil to participate in the Youth Volleyball World Championships on behalf of her country.

In this competition, China Youth Team lived up to expectations and won the second place in the World Championships. As an attacker in the team, Zhou Xiaolan performed well in the competition and showed her great strength, so this competition became a springboard for her to enter the national team.

Soon, the coach of the national women's volleyball team invited Zhou Xiaolan to participate in the training. Training? Does this mean that she is only one step away from joining the national team?

Zhou Xiaolan couldn't believe it when she learned the news. After repeated confirmation with the coach. She hugged the coach happily and shouted with a smile: "I will be a member of the national team in the future!" " "After that, she didn't sleep well for several days and looked forward to entering the national team as soon as possible.

1977, 20-year-old Zhou Xiaolan officially entered the national team and began training. It only took her four years to get in touch with volleyball and join the national team. At that time, such a rapid rise was unimaginable.

Soon, Zhou Xiaolan became a full member of the national team with his excellent skills, keen judgment and strong physical fitness.

As soon as she joined the team, Zhou Xiaolan became the main player. She is calm, wise and decisive in the competition, and never feels too bitter in training. At that time, her teammates admired her very much. At that time, her teammates gave her a nickname "Desperate Saburo".

Zhou Xiaolan is an assistant in the national team, that is, standing in the front row, responsible for jumping up and blocking. People standing in this position need agile skills and keen judgment besides being tall and jumping well, and these are precisely the advantages of Zhou Xiaolan.

On the court, Zhou Xiaolan stared at the volleyball like a wolf, and his meticulous defense made his opponent have no chance of winning.

At that time, the national women's volleyball team was very strong, among which twelve female generals, such as "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping, "Tiananmen Wall" Zhou Xiaolan and "One-armed General" Chen Zhaodi, were invincible on the volleyball battlefield.

From 65438 to 0979, China women's volleyball team rushed out of Asia for the first time and won the Asian women's volleyball championship for the second time. In this competition, Zhou Xiaolan won the individual "Best Performance Award", and China women's volleyball team started winning streak.

At that time, the Japanese team claimed to be the strongest in Asia, and the China women's volleyball team began to rush out of Asia and go to the world by beating the Japanese team. This victory is a breakthrough for China women's volleyball team, which is of historical significance.

198 1 year1kloc-0/month, the third women's volleyball world cup was held in Japan. As the host, the Japanese women's volleyball team was aggressive as soon as it played, as if it would definitely win the championship. However, the strong breakthrough of China women's volleyball team broke their delusion.

China women's volleyball team played calmly and smoothly in this match, and reached the final in a winning streak. Even when they played against the Japanese team, they were not afraid or flinched.

The final was very intense. In the last game, the scores of the two sides have been very close. At the last moment, China even fell behind by 14: 15 and was about to lose the game. Zhou Xiaolan didn't panic, but calmly analyzed the situation on the court, and finally succeeded in blocking the net continuously, creating offensive opportunities for the attacker Lang Ping again and again.

The girls of the women's volleyball team cooperated tacitly, and finally defeated the Japanese team with a score of 17: 15, which was the first world champion in the history of women's volleyball in China.

The victory of this competition set off a nationwide sports craze, and students spontaneously took to the streets and shouted "unite and revitalize China". Lang Ping and Zhou Xiaolan, who played well in the competition, became household names at that time.

After that, the women's volleyball team won the gold medal in the Asian Games with 1982, the world super women's volleyball championship with 1983, and the women's volleyball team won the gold medal in the 23rd Olympic Games with 1984.

The record of "five consecutive championships" made China women's volleyball team embark on the most brilliant moment, but for Zhou Xiaolan, the process of winning the championship was full of twists and turns.

1982 After winning the World Cup, Zhou Xiaolan was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship, but it was at this time that she was at the peak, but she suffered from appendicitis. Shortly after the operation, she had to be hospitalized because of gastroenteritis.

Time is precious for athletes, and the injury kept Zhou Xiaolan from training for three months in a row.

This disease has weakened Zhou Xiaolan, and her physical fitness is not as good as before. After returning to team training, she was temporarily unable to adapt and gradually lost her position in the team.

I feel that my current state is far from reaching its peak. Watching the younger generation of players grow up, Zhou Xiaolan fell into deep depression.

With the encouragement of coaches and players and their unremitting efforts, Zhou Xiaolan re-entered the main team from marginal players and participated in the Asian Games in September 1982 with the players to help the team win the championship.

After the Asian Games, 25-year-old Zhou Xiaolan retired from the main team for physical reasons and became a substitute.

This time, Zhou Xiaolan didn't feel depressed or complain. She knows that her present situation is worse than that of young people. She took the initiative to abdicate, making way for the overall situation and inspiring the younger generation.

The 13th Olympic Games began at 1984. Zhou Xiaolan on the bench watched his teammates running, shouting and fighting on the court, and it was difficult to restrain their desire to fight side by side with them.

She cheered on the sidelines, observed the situation and made suggestions for her teammates. In the end, the women's volleyball girls won the Olympic gold medal.

The joy of victory impacted Zhou Xiaolan's heart. She wants to stand on the court again. She wants to win the championship with her own hands, but she knows it is almost impossible. She was deeply moved by the trophy and burst into tears.

The teammates also understood her disappointment, and the women's volleyball girls hugged each other and cried.

Since 1984 won the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, women volleyball girls have become the representatives of China's image in the world, and the spirit of women volleyball has also become the spirit of the times.

With excellent record and beautiful face, Zhou Xiaolan was on the cover of the most influential magazine "Popular Film" with the most popular actor Gong Xue at that time.

After that, the women's volleyball players also won many honors and laid the foundation for their future careers.

From 65438 to 0985, 28-year-old Zhou Xiaolan got a happy love and married Hou, a former member of the national men's volleyball team and then the coach of the Bayi team of the People's Liberation Army.

Shortly after the marriage, Zhou Xiaolan also retired, but Zhou Xiaolan did not give up her studies. She entered Shanghai Sport University to study management, which greatly helped her career.

From 65438 to 0988, Zhou Xiaolan, a college graduate, soon joined the State Sports Commission and continued to engage in volleyball, which she loved.

Zhou Xiaolan reformed the volleyball management system of the national team as soon as he took office, relying on his many years' experience in playing volleyball and his management experience in the school.

She not only improved the training mode and incentive measures, but also actively introduced funds to promote the marketization of volleyball. These reforms have been supported by the General Administration of Sports, which has stimulated the training enthusiasm of the players. Soon, her reform was carried out in other sports.

She loves volleyball, sports and her career. 1994, 37-year-old Zhou Xiaolan was promoted to deputy director of the ball department because of her outstanding ability, becoming the youngest CPC cadre at that time.

This made Zhou Xiaolan feel his own value and made up his mind to fight for the cause of volleyball all his life.

Just when she wanted to shine in her career, the women's volleyball team fell into a trough.

The old players of women's volleyball team gradually retired, and the new players not only lagged far behind the old players in their heyday, but also lost a lot of energy.

How can such a team achieve good results? In this way, in the next game, the performance of the women's volleyball team continued to decline, and even failed to enter the finals for a long time. It seems that the national women's volleyball team has lost its former glory of "five consecutive championships" after losing Zhou Xiaolan and other older generation women's volleyball players.

At that time, the women's volleyball team was under the incomprehension of the audience and the pressure from the General Administration of Sports. Zhou Xiaolan is also very helpless to the former old players.

She looked at the results that the women's volleyball team had been unable to get on. Sad and anxious, she made a bold decision and invited her old teammate Lang Ping to return to China as a coach.

As a former teammate, Zhou Xiaolan knows the strength of Lang Ping. Facing the current predicament, inviting Lang Ping as the head coach is the best way to improve the performance of women's volleyball team.

But at that time, Lang Ping was the coach of the American women's volleyball team, and the treatment given to Lang Ping by the United States was beyond her power. So, she is not sure whether she can be invited to Lang Ping.

Fortunately, the old team friendship is still there. After receiving Zhou Xiaolan's invitation, Lang Ping, who had been thinking about the cause of volleyball in the motherland, did not hesitate and agreed to Zhou Xiaolan's invitation on the spot.

In order to return to China to teach, Lang Ping broke the contract with the American team. As the contract has not expired, she has to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the US team. Zhou Xiaolan promised that the money would be paid by the Sports Bureau.

However, the decline in women's volleyball performance also put a lot of pressure on Zhou Xiaolan, and her superiors talked to her more than once.

Shortly after Lang Ping returned to China, Zhou Xiaolan submitted his resignation. She only stayed in the position of deputy director for eight months. She helped Lang Ping return to the national team, but she couldn't fight side by side with her, which became Zhou Xiaolan's lifelong regret.

And Lang Ping didn't live up to Zhou Xiaolan's expectations, leading China women's volleyball team to win the championship again and again, and China women's volleyball team once again ushered in a brilliant moment, but at this time Zhou Xiaolan had gone to the United States.

After resigning, Zhou Xiaolan and her husband lived in the United States, far away from the domestic noise.

After arriving in the United States, many teams wanted to ask Zhou Xiaolan to be a coach, but she refused.

Years of physical training hurt Zhou Xiaolan. Now she just wants to rest and enjoy this hard-won leisure time.

After a lapse of half a year, Zhou Xiaolan has faded out of the domestic sports world, far away from volleyball, which she has struggled for half her life.

At this time, Zhou Xiaolan's family also obtained permanent residency in the United States, so Zhou Xiaolan continued her ordinary life in the United States as an ordinary person.

After the whole family settled in the United States, Zhou Xiaolan made statistical analysis of the data in a medical device company with her own efforts.

Soon, she shined in her post and became the project leader. It seems that from this time on, she broke away from the shackles of domestic secular wisdom and honor and lived an ordinary life she longed for.

Today, Zhou Xiaolan is the mother of two children. Her two daughters are graceful. They inherited their parents' sports genes and are very talented in volleyball.

But Zhou Xiaolan only allows children to practice and never allows them to participate in competitions on behalf of Americans. Although Zhou Xiaolan has settled abroad, she still has a deep love for her motherland, which should be shared by everyone living in a foreign country in China.

Zhou Xiaolan, who went to the United States, did not agree that the women's volleyball players would get together once a year. In 2004, China women's volleyball team won the championship again at the Sydney Olympic Games. CCTV searched for traces of the old women's volleyball team. This time, the veteran women's volleyball team gathered again, except for Zhou Xiaolan, the "Tiananmen Wall" of that year.

On April, 2065438 1 day, Chen Zhaodi, one of the main players of the old women's volleyball team, died of illness. All the old women's volleyball players came to see her off for the last leg. Most regrettably, Zhou Xiaolan still didn't show up. She just disappeared out of thin air. No one in the women's volleyball team has heard from her, including Lang Ping who returned to China because of her.

Today, Zhou Xiaolan has faded out of public view, and she lives a very comfortable life in the United States. However, even though her life is dull and happy, it has been difficult for her to let go of her beloved volleyball. So when the weather is fine, she always goes to American welfare institutions to teach children to play ball.

At this moment, volleyball is no longer a career for her, but a hobby in her spare time.

Many people say that the country has trained an athlete for nothing and will go to other countries when he achieves something. However, Zhou Xiaolan did not apologize to anyone. She devoted all her youth and love to the volleyball cause of her motherland.

Today's women's volleyball team has recovered its glory. They lived up to expectations, never feared in the face of powerful enemies, and won difficult games again and again.

Under the careful guidance of Lang Ping, the women's volleyball team won the tenth championship on 20 19, making the spirit of women's volleyball once again the strongest voice of our time.

Zhou Xiaolan's life is full of legend. He grew up unafraid of hardships when he was young, worked hard for love when he was young, worked hard for his career when he was middle-aged, and returned to his family to enjoy family happiness when he was old.

She didn't get lost because of her grades, but always stayed awake and pursued the life she wanted. Her courage and boldness deserve our admiration.
