She was also an iron-boned "desperate three ladies", who had "conquered the battlefield" and killed all sides, but she had no choice but to "fall" in a bright spring that was about to enter the twilight stage.
A long time later, her daughter recalled the beginning, still dazed and hurt, saying that she did not know whether the decision was right or not, looking at her mother's uncomfortable look, her daughter was more distressed than anyone.
After 5 days of hospitalization, her condition has been changing repeatedly, and her daughter has been under a lot of pressure, because the young girl does not dare to vent her worries and sadness in front of her sick and weak mother, and can only endure all negative emotions and cheer for her mother.
Fortunately, with the use of drugs, her condition has clearly stabilized, and her fighting spirit has been rekindled.
The turnaround took place in early March, when her condition took another sharp turn for the worse, with multiple indicators of deterioration. Her daughter was eager to endure the pain of her mother instead of her mother, and even reached out her hand to let her mother bite to expel the pain.
The daughter always believes that her mother will be strong and survive, just like every setback and tribulation she has encountered in the past.
But she seemed really tired and began to fall into a coma for a long time. Every time the daughter woke her up, within a few minutes she was back to sleep.
At the end of March, her condition was even worse, with few moments of lucidity. A day later, the critical illness notice was issued, and the daughter was deeply at a loss.
On the afternoon of April 1, she was pushed into the operating room again, and her daughter was outside the door praying for her mother's expectations. Unfortunately, my mother never woke up and always said goodbye to the world and the people she cared about most.
She is Chen Zhaodi, the hero of the Chinese women's volleyball team's five consecutive championships.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" >01, farewell to "Desperate Sanlang": she has never been left behind, and this time she really "fell behind"</h1>
On April 1, 2013, Chen Zhaodi died of cancer. A few days later, her memorial service was held in the East Auditorium of Babaoshan.
At about 8 a.m., Chen Zhaodi's relatives and fans who liked her rushed to the scene. Before the ceremony began, more than 600 people gathered outside the auditorium, half of whom were old fans who had come to bid farewell to Chen Zhaodi. They spontaneously took the portrait of Chen Zhaodi and waited in silence and sorrow, just to send the eldest sister on the last journey.
At about 9 o'clock, the Bayi men's and women's basketball team led by Wang Zhizhi and Sui Feifei, the Bayi men's and women's volleyball team led by Li Haihai and Cui Yongmei, and the Bayi table tennis team led by Wang Tao came to the scene one after another, and the women's basketball player Zheng Haixia was very conspicuous because of her height, her steps were slightly faltering, and her face was full of sentimentality.
Because Chen Zhaodi was once a member of the women's volleyball team, the old women's volleyball team members Lang Ping, Sun Jinfang and others also came to the scene under the leadership of the old coach Yuan Weimin and said goodbye to the old teammates for the last time.
The flower balls they jointly presented were placed outside the gate of the East Auditorium, which was particularly eye-catching. It has Chen Zhaodi's old teammates and old coaches' last words to her: "We are proud of you and will always miss you." ”
Below, there is a volleyball signed by all the old women's volleyball team, with the date and payment.
At 10 o'clock, the ceremony officially began, and the old coach Yuan Weimin walked at the forefront of the team as before, when he stopped in front of Chen Zhaodi's body to say goodbye to her.
As Yuan Weimin walked, he gently reminded the veteran team members who followed behind him as before: "Don't fall behind, keep up, don't cry." But Chen Zhaodi, who always had the nickname of "Desperate Sanlang" in the team in the past years, was forever "left behind".
Cao Huiying, the oldest member of the old women's volleyball team, expressed her grief to Chen Zhaodi in a low mood: "ZhaoDi, you who won the world championship are actually very happy. ”
Chen Zhaodi's old colleague Chen Zhonghe also appeared at the farewell ceremony. He said that he had wanted to visit Chen Zhaodi earlier, but he missed his last meeting with her because of his busyness. Chen Zhaodi has worked with him for a long time, has a low-key personality, and has a very good relationship with everyone.
Lai Yawen cried silently, saying that Chen Zhaodi had helped her a lot and was her biggest role model, and they would take good care of her daughter Guo Chen for Chen Zhaodi.
As the saying goes, some people "leave", but her voice, smile and spirit will always live in people's hearts, which is exactly what Chen Zhaodi is.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >02, and she was also "iron-boned": she had a tough bone, and she once had the nickname "One-Armed General"</h1>
In 1955, Chen Zhaodi was born on the banks of China's beautiful West Lake. Her teenage years were like her old age, very plain and calm.
Since middle school, Chen Zhaodi has slowly shown her excellent athletic talent. In the field of a high jump competition at a middle school games, Chen Zhaodi walked into the eyes of the provincial coach with excellent bouncing power.
In 1970, Chen Zhaodi was elected as one of the 11 new members of the Zhejiang women's volleyball team, and at the age of 15, she opened her own world.
The following year, Chen Zhaodi was selected to train at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education. The environment there is very harsh, whether it is life or training, it is far from the conditions of the Zhejiang Provincial Team.
In Zhejiang, the daily food fee per person is 1 yuan 8, but beijing only 1 yuan, and most of the food provided by the canteen is pasta and large pot dishes, which is particularly unaccustomed to Chen Zhaodi, who grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and she is full of only two mouthfuls of steamed buns according to the previous habits, and then eats two bites when she is hungry.
After a period of time, Chen Zhaodi, without exception, suffered from severe anemia, and the hemoglobin was much lower than normal, which caused her to feel physically and mentally exhausted after each training, even if it was just a simple action, she would not breathe enough.
Over time, Chen Zhaodi's training performance declined rapidly and fell to the bottom of the whole team. Coach Wu Zhongliang noticed Chen Zhaodi's "abnormality" and hurriedly called Chen Zhaodi to talk.
Wu Zhongliang did not scold Chen Zhaodi's low mood, nor did he criticize her training results, but asked her softly and patiently how she ate, how to rest, and whether the training plan was difficult.
As soon as a few words fell, Chen Zhaodi's tears fell. She listened to Wu Zhongliang apologize to her, saying that he did not care enough about her, and comforted her not to be too anxious, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and do not let yourself carry heavy burdens, very touched and guilty.
After talking with Chen Zhaodi, Wu Zhongliang personally went to the canteen to find the person in charge, asked them to think of adding meals to Chen Zhaodi to supplement nutrition, and specifically for Chen Zhaodi's situation, re-formulated training arrangements for Chen Zhaodi and adjusted the amount of training.
Subsequently, Wu Zhongliang called all the team members to frankly tell Chen Zhaodi's special situation, so that the team members would care more about her and help her more.
Under the efforts of Wu Zhongliang, even if Chen Zhaodi's body has not yet recovered, her spirit is unprecedentedly excited, and Chen Zhaodi quickly perks up and once again devotes herself to training.
It can be said that Chen Zhaodi in the women's volleyball world, that is, like the general who fought on the battlefield and had an iron bone in ancient times, even if she encountered more difficulties and injuries, she would grit her teeth and persevere, never give up lightly, and never take the initiative to retreat.
On the first day of training after joining the women's volleyball national team, coach Yuan Weimin stood on the sidelines and asked the women's volleyball girls who were exhausted after training for a day who wanted to practice for a while?
Everyone was silent, only Chen Zhaodi looked around and stood up alone and said, "Let me practice a little more." ”
Yuan Weimin assigned Chen Zhaodi the content of the additional training is to play 15 good balls, askIng Chen Zhaodi to first touch the barbed wire on the sidelines, and then run back to the 3-meter line to save the ball by rolling over, and so on and on until all 15 balls are completed.
But when Chen Zhaodi received the ninth ball, he was already weak and his legs and feet were weak. She gritted her teeth and thought that she had offered to practice, so that the performance should be considered good, she was a little tired now, it was time to stop and rest for a while.
But Yuan Weimin didn't seem to see Chen Zhaodi's exhaustion, and still threw the ball randomly in the whole field, "coldly" watching Chen Zhaodi "fly" all over the field.
Chen Zhaodi really couldn't stand it, she didn't go to pick up the 9th ball, Yuan Weimin saw the situation, directly deducted Chen Zhaodi a "good ball", and added an extra "unfinished amount" to her. Chen Zhaodi was not moved, the 10th ball did not go to pick up, Yuan Weimin did indeed deduct her a "completed good ball".
Chen Zhaodi's heart suddenly came up, she turned to the side of the field, picked up her clothes, said "I don't practice", and walked outside.
Yuan Weimin said slowly and logically in the same place: "If you leave today, I will train you tomorrow as the first." ”
Chen Zhaodi paused, and said that she left like this, which was indeed very "cheap" and lost face, so she turned back to the venue and continued to practice.
Who knew that after practicing for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave. In the end, he returned to the stadium for the third time and completed the goal of 15 good goals with amazing perseverance.
Among the nicknames chen Zhaodi has, there is a more special one, called "One-Armed General", because she had a broken radius in her left arm during a year of competition, but did not stop training, and in the competition 2 months later, she hung her left arm with a bandage, and fought with one hand to shock the audience.
Lang Ping said that Chen Zhaodi's tenacity is not only once, but also many times. The most memorable one for her was the 1981 World Cup final in Japan, when Chen Zhaodi accidentally sprained her waist during pre-match training, causing an old problem with waist disc herniation.
Yuan Weimin asked Chen Zhaodi, who had difficulty walking, if he could play in the evening game? Chen Zhaodi said with great determination: "Of course, no problem, I am definitely on." ”
As a result, after playing the whole game, Chen Zhaodi couldn't even "climb" up the podium, so she had no choice but to carry her back to the residence by Lang Ping, help her wash and change her clothes.
Another time, Chen Zhaodi went to the doctor because of unbearable back pain, and the doctor told her that if she played volleyball like this again, she might be paralyzed in the future. But Chen Zhaodi did not listen at all, and continued to devote herself to the volleyball career she loved, burning the embers of volleyball.
Chen Zhaodi's efforts have not been in vain. The reorganized women's volleyball team in 1981 went to the 3rd World Cup under the leadership of Chen Zhaodi, won China's first women's volleyball world championship, and since then created the golden age of the Chinese women's volleyball team's "five consecutive championships", Chen Zhaodi, who was injured, is undoubtedly one of the heroes.
The following year, the old women's volleyball girls stood on the podium of the 9th World Volleyball Championship and the Asian Games together with Chen Zhaodi.
Chen Zhaodi used her story and her tenacity to show the world what is the real "Chinese women's volleyball spirit".
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >03, she also "loved life": after saying goodbye to volleyball, she worked harder to live and work</h1>
In 1983, Chen Zhaodi was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress and served as the deputy political commissar of the "Bayi" women's volleyball team. In 1986, Chen Zhaodi first became the coach of the youth women's volleyball team, and later became the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In the same year, Chen Zhaodi was diagnosed with cancer, underwent two major surgeries, and defeated the disease, but had to say goodbye to her beloved volleyball career, take a back seat, and recuperate.
In 1993, Chen Zhaodi returned to the Sports Bureau again, successively serving as the director and deputy political commissar. In 2006, Chen Zhaodi was promoted to the rank of major general.
She is very strict in her work, often saying that she is also an ordinary person, and she also has problems that she does not understand. In the past, Chen Zhaodi was a women's volleyball player, soaking in the training ground every day, and there was no time to learn other things, but now that she leaves the field, she finally has the kung fu to "make up" the past "regrets" one by one.
When encountering any content that he did not understand at work, Chen Zhaodi would take the initiative to humbly ask others for advice, and there was no shelf for seniors and generals.
She still cares about the cause of volleyball in China. She said that the current volleyball technique and tactics are different from before, the players are young, physically good, the reaction and movement are very sensitive, but still can not forget a few things, that is, to overcome their laziness and cooperation with teammates and team spirit.
For example, in a certain year, Chen Zhaodi, Sun Jinfang and Zhang Rongfang once used 3 people to jointly run towards the front row to slam the ball in the German arena, so that the audience could not tell who was the main buckle for a while. The tacit understanding of the team members is very important for the whole team.
Chen Zhaodi shared her experience in the development of volleyball to everyone, and focused on promoting youth volleyball. She said that young is the "wealth" of athletes, so that more children love volleyball, enjoy and participate in volleyball when they are young, then there will naturally be more good seedlings.
She hopes that the Chinese volleyball industry will always flourish.
In addition to volleyball, Chen Zhaodi in life also likes table tennis. She told others that she used to like to play table tennis the most in her second year of junior high school, but unfortunately she didn't have time later, and now she is old, her physical strength can't keep up, and she can only play a few games.
She pays great attention to physical exercise, plays tai chi for a while in the morning, and goes for a walk in the nearby park with her family in the evening, talking about today's work while walking, talking about recent troubles, and having fun together.
Of course, Chen Zhaodi's hobbies are not limited to "physical strength", she also has literary and artistic hobbies, such as Chinese painting. Walking into Chen Zhaodi's home, you will see that the walls of her home are hung with many Chinese paintings painted by herself.
Whenever others ask her how her level is, Chen Zhaodi will always humbly reply: "Can't compare, can't compare with others, I am the kung fu of a three-legged cat." ”
At home, Chen Zhaodi likes to watch Korean dramas, saying that "Watching and Watching" is one she especially likes, and always really watches and watches. The mother in her daughter Guo Chen's memory is more tender.
Every time she travels on business, Chen Zhaodi never forgets to talk to her family. When she returned home and saw that the house was in a mess, she was not angry, but cleaned up the house at the first time.
Chen Zhaodi loves to tell her daughter to eat on time and not to be too thin. She will cook herself, cook good dishes for her family; be proud of her daughter's achievements, respect her daughter's privacy, and not interfere with her daughter's decisions; she will understand the difficulties of young people, keep up with the pace of young people, and guide and help others in a timely manner when they are in trouble.
She is like a gentle friend, careful and rigorous, dignified and atmospheric, with a very humane personality charm to influence everyone around her, but also let everyone love and admire her.
She is Chen Zhaodi, who always feels that she is just an ordinary person and never easily submits to defeat.
