The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games will be held in Zhou Suhong's hometown, and as a well-known star in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, she also personally joined the activities of creating momentum for the Asian Games and promoting volleyball.

In the final women's volleyball final, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Korean women's volleyball team met in a narrow way, if it were not for Zhou Suhong's continuous slam and serve score at the critical moment of the decider, the last gold medal of this Asian Games may be taken away by the South Koreans. At that time, the Chinese team was 12:14 behind in the fifth set, and the South Korean team only needed to take one more point to win the championship.
