Xu Yunli was born on August 2, 1987 in Fuqing City, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, Xu Yunli's parents are very ordinary Fuqing citizens, and they have traveled far and wide to Japan to work.
Xu Yunli's father is 1 meter 81 tall, xu Yunli's mother is 1 meter 67 tall, although this is not a very high height, but Xu Yunli's height is developing very fast.
At that time, there were several children born with Xu Yunli in the same village, Xu Yunli's height was higher than others, and it was sometimes not good to be too tall, at the age of kindergarten, Xu Yunli could not go to kindergarten because of her height.
The family had no choice but to send Xu Yunli directly to primary school, but being tall still had advantages, and when Xu Yunli was eight or nine years old, Chen Dan, the coach of Fuqing Junior Sports School, went to Xu Yunli's school to select materials.
At a glance, she took a fancy to Xu Yunli, who was obviously much higher than others, and Chen Dan was an athletics coach, so she wanted to bring Xu Yunli into her track and field team.
Xu Yunli's whole family had never engaged in sports before this, but Xu Yunli herself was very willing to go to the junior sports school to train with Coach Chen Dan, and her parents were also very supportive of her opinions.
Mother gets up at 5 o'clock every morning to send Xu Yunli to the junior sports school, Xu Yunli along the way with her hands behind her back, bouncing and looking very happy, Xu mother looks at her daughter so happy, she feels that as long as the child is happy, everything will support her.
Coach Chen Dan took Xu Yunli for a while, she found that Xu Yunli's height was high again, and felt that she might be a little condescending to continue practicing athletics, so she recommended Xu Yunli to Fang Hanying, the volleyball coach of Fujian Provincial Sports School.
When Coach Fang Hanying first saw Xu Yunli, he was also surprised that Xu Yunli had such a high height at such a young age, and made an exception to recruit this "jump student".
You know, according to the normal transportation mode of China's sports industry, Xu Yunli should pass through the Fuzhou Sports School before going to the provincial sports school, so she will be said to be a "skipping student".
Xu Yunli's personality is very strong, once Coach Fang Hanying arranged for her to rehearse and prepare her posture after standing, there was no rush to practice cooperation, after the training, the other small team members walked to Coach Fang Hanying as usual, but Xu Yunli stood alone on the other side and did not come over.
However, after the training session, Xu Yunli may also know her mistake, and then took the initiative to come to Coach Fang Hanying and said to her: "Coach, I know that I am wrong, and I will not come back in the future."

In addition to her strong personality, Xu Yunli when she was a child also left a deep impression on the coach, when the children were very young and often lost something during training.
But Xu Yunli's things were never lost, and later everyone found that Xu Yunli's things were locked in the cabinet, and Xu Yunli was still the youngest member of the team at that time.
Therefore, the other team members all followed Xu Yunli's learning, and they also locked their things, and they also gave the key to the youngest Xu Yunli for safekeeping, because everyone was most at ease with Xu Yunli.
In 1998, not long after Xu Yunli entered the provincial sports school, Xu Yunli's mother went abroad to Japan to help Xu Yunli's aunt take care of business, and the mother and daughter could only rely on telephone contact.
At that time, she and her mother agreed to call on Fridays every week, there was no phone in the dormitory, and before she and her mother agreed to talk, she ran to the coach's house to wait for her mother's call.
Because her mother was not around, Xu Yunli did not want to tell her mother about some things, and once Xu Yunli had a high fever, she lay alone in the dormitory for several days without telling her family.
It just so happened that Xu Yunli's uncle went to the sports school to see Xu Yunli and only then did she know about Xu Yunli's illness, and Xu Yunli's mother called Xu Yunli after she knew: "Practice a good sports, a little girl is so suffering outside, let me be a mother how to rest assured."
Saying that Xu's mother cried, but Xu Yunli did not say a word, Xu's mother knew that Xu Yunli really liked volleyball, so she did not tell her family at all.
Once Xu Yunli followed the team to Japan to compete, Xu's mother wanted to see her daughter, but the young Xu Yunli said: "You still don't come, waste money, and I still have to train the game, and I will call you in a few days."
In this way, the mother and daughter have not seen each other for five years, and when Xu's mother decided to return to China in 2003, she felt that the family was busy with their livelihood and the situation of gathering less and more should indeed be improved.

In fact, there is another reason why Xu's mother decided to return to China, that is, she works in cold storage in Japan, so Wu Xiulan's knee has a very serious rheumatoid.
At that time, her body could not support her to continue working, and it would cost at least 2 million yen for treatment in Japan, so Xu's mother might as well return to China for treatment and have her son and daughter by her side.
The mother and daughter have not seen each other for 5 years, but when they met Xu Yunli, she found that her mother was so thin that she could hardly stand, so she and her father and brother sent her mother to the hospital for treatment.
Her mother gradually improved, Xu Yunli's career also began to improve, in 2004 Xu Yunli played the main force in the Fujian women's volleyball team, at this time her height has grown to 1.96 meters, the position is the main attack.
A year later, at the request of the coach, Xu Yunli began to play the secondary attack, and after changing the secondary attack, Xu Yunli's performance was more eye-catching, and she was also favored by Chen Zhonghe, who was the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the time.
In 2006, Xu Yunli was selected into the national team training list and became a key sub-attack, after many warm-up matches, many experts commented on Xu Yunli: "It is really a high break three moves."
Women's volleyball head coach Chen Zhonghe also has high hopes for Xu Yunli: "After training, she is a talent that can be created."
In 2006, Xu Yunli, who had just entered the national team, participated in that year's World Championships with the team, and her performance was still quite good, and she scored a total of 113 points in the entire World Championships, including 82 points in attack, 26 points in the net, and 5 points in the serve.
But then Xu Yunli fell into a trough, the technology is difficult to break through, the offensive rhythm and the whole team coordination is not enough, in 2007 Xu Yunli became a marginal figure of the national team.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Xu Yunli was also selected for the final list, she was one of the 6 members of the national team who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, in addition to the height and age advantages are more obvious, Xu Yunli's lack of competition experience is also very obvious.
At that time, the national team had a lot of talents on the secondary offensive line, in addition to the women's volleyball team's "online Great Wall" Zhao Ruirui chose to come back, there were two powerful secondary attackers such as Xue Ming and Ma Yunwen, so Xu Yunli was only a substitute even if she was selected for the Olympic list.
It is also true that Xu Yunli played a particularly small time at the Beijing Olympic Games, although in the end the Chinese women's volleyball team won a bronze medal, but Xu Yunli was not happy.

After the game, Chen Zhonghe, the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, commented on Xu Yunli: "It should be said that Xu Yunli's performance is unexpected, her net is better, and our selection of tall secondary attacks is mainly to solve the link of the team's serve and net, but her shortcomings are also obvious, the attack is not prominent, the play is not live enough and not delicate, there are still many places to be improved."
After the Beijing Olympic Games, because the Chinese team only won the Olympic bronze medal, many people began to criticize the women's volleyball team, especially the then women's volleyball head coach Chen Zhonghe.
So Chen Zhonghe resigned as the manager of the national team, just in 2009 there was a National Games, so the national team also announced disbandment, Xu Yunli returned to the Fujian team.
At that time, Xu Yunli even brought all her luggage back to Fujian, because she felt that her performance did not satisfy the coach, and now that the national team is at the center of public opinion, it may be difficult for her to return to the national team.
The next is indeed the most chaotic period of time for the Chinese women's volleyball team, frequent changes in coaching, Wang Baoquan, Cai Bin, Yu Juemin changed three national team coaches in two years.
However, Xu Yunli has always been selected for the national team training list, but the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time should be regarded as the darkest period of time, and the Chinese women's volleyball team only won the tenth place at the 2010 World Championships.
As a substitute, Xu Yunli only played three games in the entire World Championships, scoring a total of 11 points, including 9 points for offense, 1 point for blocking the net, and 1 point for serving.
By the 2011 World Cup, only the top three teams were eligible to enter the London Olympic Games, and it was difficult to get the top three with the strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time.
In the second game against Italy, the Chinese team lost 5 innings, Xu Yunli came off the bench to contribute 16 points in the whole game, and it seemed that the Chinese team may not qualify for the London Olympic Games.
In the final battle between the Chinese team and the German team, this is a life and death battle, if the Chinese team wins the third place in this World Cup, it can get the ticket to the London Olympic Games.
In this game, Xu Yunli still came off the bench and finally scored 11 points, the Chinese team got the ticket to the London Olympic Games as desired, and Xu Yunli played 11 games in the entire World Cup, all of which were substitutes, scoring a total of 74 points, attacking 8 points, blocking nets 19 points, and serving 7 points.
Five
It can be said that the reason why the Chinese team was able to defeat the German team, Xu Yunli was the "first hero", so after returning to China, Xu Yunli was surrounded by a group of reporters, and Xu Yunli said in the face of the reporter's interview: "From my own point of view, the coaching significance is still relatively large, the game play, there are still some ups and downs, at the beginning, the on-site play is still unstable, and then through the guidance and encouragement of the coach and teammates, I better adjusted the state, and after arriving on the field, I can play my strength." ”
In the first round of the group at the London Olympics, Xu Yunli came off the bench to help the Chinese team reverse the victory over serbia, scoring a total of 17 points, including 10 points for offense and 7 points for blocking the net, and the total score was the first in the team.
Throughout the London Olympic Games, Xu Yunli played a total of 20 games and scored 59 points, including 43 points for offense, 14 points for blocking the net, and 2 points for serving, but unfortunately, the Chinese women's volleyball team only won the fifth place in the London Olympic Games.
After the London Olympics, head coach Yu Juemin resigned, at this time Xu Yunli was 25 years old, played in the national team for 7 years, and had not yet won a world championship.
Of course, compared to another "North Great Wall" Yan Ni, Xu Yunli is relatively lucky, because Yan Ni, who is also 25 years old at this time, was only briefly selected for the national team in 2009.
In 2013, this is a memorable year in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the Chinese women's volleyball team once again fell into a trough, and Lang Ping, the veteran coach of the women's volleyball team, once again served as the head coach of the national team.
Lang Ping served as the head coach of the national team's first training roster, Xu Yunli was on the list, and Yan Ni was also selected for this training.
However, unlike Xu Yunli's situation, Yan Ni was once again "returned" after a period of training in the country, and Xu Yunli ushered in the peak moment of her career.
In 2014, the country was reorganized, Xu Yunli was the oldest athlete in this national team, but she participated in the World Championships as the main secondary attack, and the field started, almost all of which were full, becoming a solid barrier on the Chinese women's volleyball team, with the reputation of "the Great Wall on the Internet".
But during the final four, Xu Yunli was injured by stepping on the feet of the opposing players.
Six
Xu Yunli was injured, and the young general Yuan Xinyue quickly made up for it, in fact, before Lang Ping's guidance, he deliberately let Xu Yunli take Yuan Xinyue and give her some more experience.
So after the injury, Xu Yunli endured the pain to accompany Yuan Xinyue to watch the video and explain some technical actions, and finally Yuan Xinyue broke out at this World Championship, and the Chinese team also won the runner-up of the World Championship.
Back in China, the national team hired experts to diagnose and treat Xu Yunli, learned that her injury was very serious, hit two steel nails in her left knee, and American experts even predicted that Xu Yunli's sports career might end.
After Xu Yunli was injured, the national team's secondary offensive line was somewhat weak, so Lang Ping's guidance recruited Yan Ni into the national team again, and this time Yan Ni gave Lang Ping a big surprise.
In the Asian Cup, Asian Championship, World Cup three consecutive games Yan Ni has played well, helping the Chinese team win the championship, and also won the Asian Cup MVP and the best secondary attack.
In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Yan Ni and Xu Yunli, two vice offensive veterans, played together, and finally the Chinese women's volleyball team also miraculously won the championship at the Rio Olympic Games.
Yanni made 6 appearances and played 16 innings, scoring a total of 33 points, including 19 points on offense, 9 points in blocks, and 5 points on the serve.
Xu Yunli played 27 innings and scored a total of 59 points, 45 offensive points, 12 points in the net and 2 points on the serve.
It can be said that the two veterans performed very well, especially the net, because one of the two is a southerner and the other is a northerner, so Xu Yunli is called the "South Great Wall" by everyone, and Yan Ni is called the "North Great Wall".
After the London Olympics, Xu Yunli originally chose to continue to insist like Yan Ni, but in 2017, Xu Yunli was unfortunately injured during the competition, and the ligament in her left knee was broken and needed surgery.
The injury also forced Xu Yunli to end her sports career early, after which she went to Fujian Normal University to pursue a master's degree and stay on to teach.
Because Xu Yunli spent most of her time on the bench in the team, Lang Ping once commented on Xu Yunli: "Although Xu Yunli is not the starter, everyone knows that she is a fake substitute Allah, she is the southern Great Wall of the Chinese team"!
Such praise is not high, if the "South Great Wall" Xu Yunli is still there, the chinese women's volleyball team's secondary offensive line may not rely only on Yan Ni and Yuan Xinyue!
