In her legendary story, the most famous is probably her stubbornness of "three in and three out".
After a long time, she smiled and "restored" the original to the reporter, saying: "In fact, the practice was over that day, but the coach asked one more question, who still has to practice, no one answered, my brain was hot, I stood up." At that time, I weighed less than 120 pounds, and the normal training intensity was also high, and I was already exhausted, but the coach did not allow me to end the training. ”
The coach's practice requirements for her are that she can play 15 good balls on the volleyball court, which requires her to touch the barbed wire on the sidelines, then run to the 3-meter line to roll over the ball, then return to the barbed wire to touch it, and finally run back to start a new round.
When she received the ninth ball, she felt that her legs and feet were already weak, and two shadows appeared when she saw the ball. She couldn't help but secretly think that this additional training was her initiative to request, and it should have been good by now, should she rest?
Coupled with the fact that the coach seemed intent on exercising her flexibility, the volleyball was thrown here and there for a while, leaving her flying all over the field and breathless.
Yes, after the coach threw the next ball, she did not go to catch the ball, but stood in place and gasped for breath. The coach saw the situation and directly deducted her a "complete ball", so that her practice results became 8.
She listened, and did not think angrily, you buckle, I am tired, I don't want to continue for the time being. She still didn't pick up the next ball, and the coach deducted another "finished ball." Her anger immediately surged upwards, and she shouted angrily, "I don't practice anymore!" ”
After saying that, he directly picked up his clothes and walked outside. The coach was behind her, and Shi Shiran threatened her: "You go, tomorrow I will be the first to contact you." ”
She just walked to the door, immediately stopped, while advising herself to "just go, too faceless, no, I want to go back to practice again", while silently walking back to the venue, continue to practice.
After a few hours, her state of mind was tired again, and she threw the kick-off again and walked outside.
Halfway through, her natural stubbornness made her very unwilling, and it was her third time to step on the field and complete 15 good goals with amazing perseverance.
After talking about this experience, the smile on the corner of her lips deepened a lot, and she said: "In fact, I learned later that the coach wanted to grind my personality, just waiting for me to hit the muzzle of the gun!" After his goal was achieved, he stopped sending such a difficult ball, only used words to stimulate me, saying that he wanted to give me an easier point, and I exhaled to refute him, without him to show mercy. ”
The coach's hard work was not in vain, and many years later, the girl who sweated on the volleyball court really achieved her legendary career.
She is Chen Zhaodi, a well-known women's volleyball player in the mainland.
01, desperate third lady Chen Zhaodi: The youth of others is under the moon before the flower, and Chen Zhaodi's youth only has a training ground
Chen Zhaodi, born in 1955, has a happy family. Her father was a worker, and she was the second in the family, with an older sister on top, a younger brother and a younger sister.
When she was a child, Chen Zhaodi was very naughty, and often did some "bad things" with her "mastermind" sister that caused headaches for her parents.
Once, in kindergarten, she and her sister took advantage of the teacher's lack of attention, hid under the table, and took the opportunity to sneak out, causing worried adults to look for them for a long time.
After returning home, the elder sister took the initiative to bear most of the "guilt responsibility", so that Chen Zhaodi "survived".
After the birth of his sister, his parents' work became more and more busy, and they had no time to take care of the three sisters, so they sent them back to their grandmother's house in the countryside.
Who knew that as soon as they went, they quarreled with the children in the village, and the sister was angry and simply took the sisters to "run away from home".
They originally planned to take the path home by themselves, but they overestimated the level of their own recognition of the road, and they did not go far before they were "caught" by adults.
After that, the adult reprimanded his sister and Chen Zhaodi, and once again attributed the main "wrong responsibility" to his sister. It is probably the "protection" of her sister that makes Chen Zhaodi develop a character of daring to fight since she was a child who is "not afraid of heaven".
Of course, the Chen family's parents have not beaten Chen Zhaodi.
In Chen Zhaodi's memory, once she accidentally burned the cotton pants she had just made while serving the charcoal basin, and Chen's mother beat her angrily.
After the fight, Chen Zhaodi held the small hand with broken skin and bleeding, neither ate nor cried, and quietly returned to the bedroom to sleep alone.
When Mother Chen saw the situation, she completely understood the "screwing" nature of the second daughter, and she had not beaten Chen Zhaodi since then.
In middle school, Chen Zhaodi, who usually seemed ordinary, left a deep impression on the coach of the provincial team at a certain high jump competition. Soon, Chen Zhaodi was selected into the list of newcomers to the Zhejiang women's volleyball team.
But before the training began, Chen Zhaodi did not know that she was going to play volleyball, and even according to the report, she only wore a pair of plastic sandals, just like that.
Entering the women's queue, Chen Zhaodi, who has zero foundation in volleyball, suffered a lot: the coach let them practice mat balls against the wall, and every time Chen Zhaodi's wrists would be swollen and high, but Chen Zhaodi did not complain a bitter word, gritted his teeth and persevered.
In 1971, Chen Zhaodi left his homeland and went to beijing sports institute for intensive training. The conditions there are not as good as the Zhejiang provincial team, and the food aspect also makes Chen Zhaodi very uncomfortable.
Eating less, training intensity is high, a large amount of physical energy consumption makes Chen Zhaodi suffer from anemia, and at the end of each training, she feels that her breath is not enough, it is very uncomfortable, and the ranking is often hovering at the end of the team.
Over time, the coach noticed Chen Zhaodi's "abnormality", specially talked to her, blamed himself for not caring enough about her, and personally went to the canteen and asked them to find a way to add food to Chen Zhaodi and supplement nutrition.
Under the concern of coaches and teammates, Chen Zhaodi quickly perked up and threw herself back into training.
In 1973, Chen Zhaodi, who graduated from school, did not return to Zhejiang according to the custom, but joined the Bayi women's volleyball team the following year, and was elected as a member of the Chinese women's volleyball team in 1976.
In the second year of joining the team, the women's volleyball team members participated in the World University Games and faced the Cuban team.
During the game, Chen Zhaodi failed to "kill" the opponent with a hanging ball, and coach Yuan Weimin saw the situation and immediately shouted a pause on the sidelines, telling Chen Zhaodi not to hang the ball again.
But Chen Zhaodi did not take the coach's words to heart, but more stubbornly thought, he only "hanged" the other party once, you wait, I will definitely "hang" a good ball again!
But throughout the game, Chen Zhaodi never got what he wanted.
After the game, Yuan Weimin called Chen Zhaodi to the front and reprimanded her bitterly, so that Chen Zhaodi was convinced from then on, and completely understood the principle of "obeying the needs of the collective".
In 1979, when Chen Zhaodi was playing against the Japanese women's volleyball team, he unfortunately suffered an old injury, resulting in a broken radius in his left arm.
However, the competition schedule was tense, Chen Zhaodi was seriously injured and could not get out of the "line of fire", and in the next two months of the National Games, he has been injured to fight, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
In 1980, Chen Zhaodi, who was still not cured, fought hard with the strength of not accepting defeat in his bones and continued to fight for the country with one hand.
The hard work of her and her teammates was not in vain, and in 1981, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the World Cup. In 1982, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved another good result and became the winner of the "two consecutive championships".
As Chen Zhaodi said, the youth of others is the flower before the moon, but the youth of her and her teammates is only a training ground, they exchange sweat for achievements, and use diligence to exchange for championships, this spirit of women's volleyball is indeed worthy of Chinese praise and learning.
In 1983, Chen Zhaodi, a famous "desperate three ladies" in the women's volleyball team, announced his retirement. Soon, she entered the Beijing Institute of Physical Education for further study, and after graduation, she joined the Bayi women's volleyball team and the national youth women's volleyball team as the head coach.
02, especially miss Chen Zhaodi: the years of struggle together have not been forgotten, and Chen Zhaodi's fighting spirit will surely last forever
However, just as Chen Zhaodi was preparing to show her skills in the familiar field, the test of fate once again befell her: around 1985, Chen Zhaodi was unfortunately diagnosed with rectal cancer.
In the same year, she underwent her first surgery and gave birth to her only daughter, Guo Chen, the following year. In the following years, while taking care of her daughter, Chen Zhaodi underwent another surgical treatment and was discharged from the hospital.
She did not rest too much, and as soon as she left the hospital, she immediately returned to her most beloved volleyball career and continued to be busy.
At that time, Chen Zhaodi had two choices: one was to stay in Beijing, the other was to stay in the volleyball career she loved and fight for her dreams; the other was to follow her husband who had developed to Hainan Island, to Serve as the director of the Cultural and Sports Hall in Hainan, and slowly recover her physical condition in the southern climate that was more suitable for recuperation.
There is no doubt that Chen Zhaodi's choice is the former, and even in order to concentrate more on her work, she does not hesitate to send her young daughter back to her mother in Hangzhou and entrust her old mother to take care of Guo Chen.
In October 2006, with the official approval of the Central Military Commission, Chen Zhaodi was promoted to the rank of major general. For this honor, Chen Zhaodi was very happy and said that he had "made his dream come true".
In 2008, Chen Zhaodi appeared in front of the TV camera again, and joined hands with Song Shixiong, a well-known host of CCTV, to explain the competition of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the Beijing Olympic Games.
At that time, no one thought about it, but in just 5 years, the news of Chen Zhaodi's funeral came out.
Around 2012, Chen Zhaodi was diagnosed with cancer again and received chemotherapy at the end of that year. She was well aware of her illness, but asked her relatives to keep it a secret and did not want too many people to visit her.
Guo Chen's roommate Wang Ke told the interviewer that Chen Zhaodi remained optimistic in the last days of her life. Even though she has to lose a pound almost every day, she still has strong willpower and infects the people around her.
On April 1, 2013, Guo Chen recorded the grief of losing her mother on social networks: At 2:55 p.m. that day, she said that her mother was well, hoping that there would be no pain in that place, only happiness.
Two days before her 26th birthday, her mom cheated on her again, but she didn't hate her, she still loved her, and she was here.
At 5:44 p.m., Guo Chen came home from the hospital, holding her mother's proudest military uniform in her arms, and suddenly hoped that everything was just a joke.
She wanted to tell her mother that if there was a next life, she still wanted to be her mother's daughter; at 7:11 p.m., Guo Chen, who did not dare to close his eyes, "asked" her mother on Weibo, when will you come back, and her daughter has been waiting for you.
At 9:08 p.m., Guo Chen, who was still unable to let go of the pain, "didn't understand" and asked: Why doesn't my mother want me? Am I doing something wrong? The mother said that she would not leave her daughter behind, and the daughter missed her mother very much...
Between the lines, mother and daughter have a deep affection.
Four days later, Chen Zhaodi's memorial service was held at Babaoshan. Not only her teammates and colleagues from the past years came, but many fans who had watched Chen Zhaodi's game also rushed to the scene early, just to bid farewell to the last journey of the women's volleyball player.
As Chen Zhonghe, the old women's volleyball sparring partner and former chinese women's volleyball team coach, said, Chen Zhaodi left, walking too hastily, so that the years of fighting together in the past years are still vividly remembered, but the figure of the deceased is no longer there.
However, the spirit of Chen Zhaodi's women's volleyball team and Chen Zhaodi's strong tenacity will never disappear and will always be passed down in the world.
Just like Chen Zhaodi's daughter Guo Chen, she inherits her mother's will and follows her mother's hard work.
03, the mother-daughter love deep heritage: the mother hopes that her daughter will have a safe life, and the daughter is willing to follow the mother's example
In the past years, Chen Zhaodi and his teammates Lang Ping, Sun Jinfang and others had agreed to have girls together, and then organize a small women's volleyball team to inherit their careers.
- Thirty years later, they did give birth to 10 girls, but they did not force the girls to cultivate the interest of the women's volleyball team, but let them have their own wonderful lives, of which only Chen Zhaodi's daughter Guo Chen followed her mother and devoted herself to the cause of the women's volleyball team.
It's just that Guo Chen was playing beach volleyball at that time. After retiring from the army, Guo Chen was admitted to Nankai University to study, and then transferred to the general political work of the People's Liberation Army.
In 2010, Guo Chen voluntarily submitted an application and became a national referee of volleyball through examination, and was qualified as a front-line law enforcement referee of the competition.
Many years ago, a reporter curiously asked Chen Zhaodi, what profession do you want Guo Chen to engage in? Chen Zhaodi replied that everything was good, as long as he stopped eating his own suffering.
But she could not resist Guo Chen, in the end she still watched her daughter walk on the old path of her mother, and the daughter inherited her mother's ambition and continued to "run" on the "road" where her mother had worked hard and sweated.
For this choice, Guo Chen did not regret it.
Around 2017, Guo Chen accidentally received a bouquet of flowers from the bride when he attended a wedding.
Soon, she never believed in the "legend of bouquets", and she met a man of similar age. She said on Weibo that the first time she met a man, the first thing she said was: "Brother, your appearance is a little anxious?" ”
Perhaps it was this joke that made Guo Chen and the man's love and marriage.
At the end of March of the same year, stepping on the bright spring light, Guo Chen accepted the invitation of the central radio reporter and returned to his mother's hometown of Shaoxing, standing in front of the display shelf related to his mother, recalling the bits and pieces that belonged to his mother.
She said: "I was injured in training some time ago and wanted to find out the crutches my mother had used, but I couldn't find them, and it turned out that they had been packed and sent to the Chen Zhaodi Archives Exhibition Hall." ”
Walking to a corner and seeing the words that he had repeatedly played and written to his mother on Weibo, Guo Chen's eye sockets were moist again.
But soon, she dried her tears and returned to a bright smile. She told reporters that her mother did not want to see her cry, and her mother wanted her to be an optimistic person.
Before the end of the interview, Guo Chen revealed a secret to the reporter, in fact, when the archives first found her, she refused to hand over her mother's relics, but her father's persuasion and the sincerity of the hometown people touched her.
Now she was relieved to see that her mother's relics were so well preserved.
Leaving the archives, Guo Chen went to his cousin's house for a meal and hurried back to Beijing.
At the end of the same year, Guo Chen announced the news of his license on social networks, and the object was the man.
In June 2020, their little princess came to the world, Guo Chen left a message to her daughter on social networks, she said that she hoped that her daughter could grow up carefree, be happy every day, and her father and mother would always love her.
The deceased is gone, but the living are still alive. As the saying goes, as long as we don't forget those who leave, then they are always "with" us.
Guo Chen, who has his own small family, still often misses his mother, but he will not always be immersed in the sorrow of losing his mother. I believe that in the future, Guo Chen will also create her own story like her mother Chen Zhaodi.
