The Chinese women's volleyball team won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which also announced the perfect end of the golden generation. Feng Kun, Zhao Ruirui, Zhou Suhong, Zhang Na and other famous players also started another life. Feng Kun married former Thai women's volleyball head coach Cha Ti Peng, Zhao Ruirui became a writer, Yang Hao was a teacher in college, and many fans believe that these women's volleyball players are still shining in various fields after retiring. But in the golden generation of the women's volleyball team, there is a player who can be called a winner in life, and she has worked in the sports bureau for more than ten years. Nowadays, she has been promoted from the director of tianjin platoon management center to the deputy director of Tianjin Municipal Sports Bureau, and she is Li Shan.
Speaking of Li Shan, presumably many people are not familiar with it, throughout the Athens Olympic Games cycle, she has been Zhou Suhong's substitute. However, head coach Chen Zhonghe is accustomed to using the "Seven Fairies" to fight the world in the platoon, and Li Shan only gets the opportunity to play when she encounters a weak brigade or Zhou Suhong needs to rest. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team was able to defeat the Russian team to win the championship, in addition to several main players, the young players Zhang Ping and Zhang Yuehong were indispensable. Li Shan, Chen Jing and several other substitute players were ridiculed by fans as "water to an Olympic gold medal".
Li Shan also had good strength in the golden period of her career, and she had no choice but to meet Zhou Suhong, the strongest receiver in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team. At the Beijing Olympic Games, Li Shan failed to enter the 12-man list, and in 2012, she chose to officially bid farewell to her volleyball career and enter the Tianjin Volleyball Sports Management Center. At the end of 2019, Li Shan served as the director of the Tianjin Volleyball Management Center, and the Chinese women's volleyball star Zhu Ting was able to join the Tianjin women's volleyball team and help Tianjin team win the league championship, and Li Shan played an irreplaceable role in it.
Zhu Ting once revealed that in order to grab the first main force of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Li Shan had contacted Zhu Ting privately many times and told Zhu Ting that the Tianjin team would not disappoint her. After repeated invitations and lobbying, Li Shan finally helped the Tianjin women's volleyball team recruit Zhu Ting into her command. This achievement also made Li Shan's work ability affirmed by many leaders of Tianjin Drainage Center. After officially becoming the deputy director of the Tianjin Sports Bureau, Li Shan was mainly responsible for sports events, youth sports, team training competitions, etc., and was also one of the managers of cycling, football and other projects.
Many fans have said that in the golden generation of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Li Shan's achievements in the athlete period are far less than Feng Kun, Zhao Ruirui, Zhou Suhong, and even Zhang Na, who is also a Tianjin team, who is more famous than Li Shan. But now, Li Shan has achieved a gorgeous turn and come to the top. Some people believe that the reason why Li Shan can sit in today's position is not only her outstanding ability, but also inextricably linked to her meticulous and stable personality. "The official field is like a battlefield", Li Shan must have her superiority!
