On October 8, the women's volleyball Olympic champion, a generation of famous players Zhao Ruirui ushered in her 40th birthday, she posted a birthday photo, only to see her holding a smile on the flower, closing her eyes and making a wish to the cake, the appearance is very good. Zhao Ruirui wrote emotionally: Grateful for every you and every moment you meet in life, grateful for the self that is growing every day. Happy fortieth birthday to my dear self!

In history, the Chinese women's volleyball team has won the Olympic Championship three times, namely in Los Angeles in 1984, Athens in 2004 and Rio 2016. As a member of the Golden Generation, Zhao Ruirui, Zhou Suhong, Feng Kun and other famous players followed Chen Zhonghe and won the Athens Olympic Championship.
Although she has the title of Olympic champion, Zhao Ruirui has a bad fate. At that time, when she was preparing for the Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui suddenly fell to the ground, which was found to be a fatigue fracture. Before the injury, Zhao Ruirui felt that her leg was abnormal very early, but the team doctor misdiagnosed and thought that there was no problem with her leg, just periostitis. Later, Chen Zhonghe still brought Zhao Ruirui to Athens, but she left the scene with a serious injury just after she appeared.
Years later, Chen Zhonghe apologized to Zhao Ruirui in person, "At that time, many people said that my team members were injured and sick. Here, I do want to do a review. At that time, Zhao Ruirui was injured for various reasons, and I was really sorry for Zhao Ruirui. For her mentor Chen Zhonghe, Zhao Ruirui did not complain, but was more grateful. In fact, after retiring, Zhao Ruirui visited Chen Zhonghe with her teammates many times, and the master and apprentice were reunited!
Compared with other teammates who have formed families, Zhao Ruirui's emotional path is very weak, and she has been single for many years. There have also been rumors about Zhao Ruirui and Yao Ming on the Internet, and Zhao Ruirui has publicly denied it. Zhao Ruirui, who is 40 years old, is still alone, but her spiritual world is very rich, and now she is a writer, who has produced several works, and she has the freedom to choose her lifestyle.
