At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui and her teammates won another valuable bronze medal.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Ruirui's sports career is very brilliant, but she has deep regrets. What regrets does Zhao Ruirui have?
After Zhao Ruirui retired in 2009, she turned into a famous science fiction writer and has published many famous books such as "The Lost Dream" and "The Oracle of Shambhala", which are well received by readers.
Zhao Ruirui is talented, has no lack of fame and appearance, and has superior economic conditions. However, this year is 41 years old, so far unmarried and single, her marriage has become a heart disease of her parents...

Zhao Ruirui's sports career is accompanied by injuries, tears, and ups and downs, and she still has a steel plate in her right leg. Because Zhao Ruirui was easily injured and injured many times, the media and fans called her a "glass beauty".
Childhood Zhao Ruirui
Zhao Ruirui was born on October 8, 1981 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Her father, Zhao Huaifu, is 2 meters tall and was once the main player of the Jiangsu men's volleyball team. Her mother, Wang Shuying, is a native of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and she was a member of the Liaoning women's volleyball team at 1.80 meters tall.
Zhao Ruirui has an older sister named Zhao Rongrong.
Zhao Huaifu and his wife both work at the Nanjing Institute of Physical Education. In an interview, Zhao Huaifu recalled Zhao Ruirui's difficult birth process:
After Wang Shuying became pregnant with Zhao Ruirui, Zhao Huaifu submitted an application report for having a second child to the unit according to the policy, but the leader dragged on and did not approve it, and Zhao Huaifu and his wife were anxious.
When the fetus was 7 months old, the relevant departments asked Wang Shuying to kill the child. Zhao Huaifu and his wife were very sad and cried all the way to the hospital. However, because the fetus is too large, the doctor is afraid that the adult is in danger and does not dare to do the operation.
Early years zhao ruirui
To this end, the unit convened a meeting of the Family Planning Office, the Trade Union, the Ministry of Personnel and other departments, and finally reached an agreement: Zhao Huaifu and his wife are allowed to have a second child, but all the costs of the birth of the child are borne by themselves, and the child does not enjoy health care fees.
As a result, the day after Wang Shuying gave birth to Zhao Ruirui in the hospital, she was taken home by Zhao Huaifu. Zhao Ruirui was born in the hospital and spent a total of 16.32 yuan.
Zhao Ruirui inherited her parents' height and movement genes, and at the age of 6, her size reached 1.58 meters.
Once, Zhao Ruirui followed her parents to Shenyang's grandmother's house to pay respects to the New Year, and when she got off the train, the staff asked Zhao Huaifu to make up tickets for her daughter. Zhao Huaifu said that his daughter was just 6 years old and did not need to buy a ticket.
The other party did not believe: where is the 6-year-old child so tall? It wasn't until Wang Shuying took out the household registration book from her bag that the staff believed that zhao Ruirui would no longer let Zhao Ruirui make up the ticket.
Zhao Ruirui's height has become a trouble for her parents, and zhao Huaifu and his wife have made up their minds: turn their daughter's height into wealth and train her to become a volleyball player.
Zhao Ruirui and her parents
Zhao Huaifu, a volleyball coach at the Nanjing Institute of Physical Education, often brings his daughter to the training hall, and when he guides the players to train, he teaches her to practice by the way. Zhao Ruirui has a talent for volleyball, and many technical moves can be learned as soon as she learns them.
In 1994, Zhao Huaifu sent his daughter to the Bayi Youth Women's Volleyball Team in Beijing to play. Coach Han Yunbo is very optimistic about Zhao Ruirui and regards her as a key training object. Three years later, Zhao Ruirui was selected for the Bayi women's volleyball team.
In June 1998, Zhao Ruirui trained with the Bayi team in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province. Due to the slippery floor in the heat, Zhao Ruirui accidentally fell to the ground, resulting in a serious injury to the meniscus of her right knee. After more than half a year of treatment and rehabilitation, Zhao Ruirui returned to the team after recovering from injury.

The following year, Hu Jin coached the national women's volleyball team for the second time and recruited Zhao Ruirui into the team. At this time, Zhao Ruirui was only 18 years old, but her height had reached 1.97 meters, which was the "first height in Asia", and Hu Jin trained her as the main secondary attack.

Who knows that in the autumn of 1999, when Zhao Ruirui was preparing for the Women's Volleyball World Cup with the team, the old injury of the meniscus of the right knee unfortunately recurred, and she fell to the ground in pain.
In this way, Zhao Ruirui was admitted to the hospital again. Zhao Huaifu and his wife rushed from Nanjing to Beijing to visit their daughter, and the family's heart was heavy.
After their daughter's operation, Zhao Huaifu and his wife took Zhao Ruirui back to Nanjing. For more than a month after that, Zhao Huaifu took his daughter to climb the stairs every day and asked the doctor to come to the door to help her massage.
After Zhao Ruirui recovered from her injuries, Zhao Huaifu bought a ticket and sent her daughter to the train to Beijing.
In 2001, Chen Zhonghe took charge of the national women's volleyball team and formed a new women's volleyball team.
Zhao Ruirui and Chen Zhonghe
Zhao Ruirui and Liu Yanan were arranged to serve as the main deputy attackers of the team, and Chen Jing from Sichuan was a substitute deputy attacker. Zhao Ruirui gao, Liu Yanan fast, Chen Jing comprehensive, 3 secondary attacks have their own characteristics.
In Chen Zhonghe's tactical system, the main attack does not follow a pass, the attack is mainly a secondary attack, and the two secondary attacks and receptions are the core of the fast-changing tactics.
Zhao Ruirui played a two-point attack, and it was more difficult to break through the opponent's net. Under the meticulous craftsmanship of the coaching staff, Zhao Ruirui's technical strength has been greatly improved.
In 2003, the Women's Volleyball World Cup was played in Japan, and Zhao Ruirui became the most eye-catching star in the whole tournament.
She frequently tears apart the opponent's defense line in the second and third digits, and alternates various fast attack tactics such as short flat, time difference, position difference, back flying, and back slip to make the opponent invincible.
Zhao Ruirui on the court
As long as Zhao Ruirui was on the field, the opponent would have to stare at her, which played a cover role for the main attack.
Moreover, Zhao Ruirui's serve and netting threats are also very large. In this World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship with a record of 11 total victories, and Zhao Ruirui was elected as the "best slam dunk", becoming a veritable "world's first vice attack".
Subsequently, Zhao Ruirui set her sights on the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
In March 2004, Zhao Ruirui accompanied the team to prepare for the Athens Olympic Games in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, and due to the intensity of training, her right leg unfortunately suffered a fatigue fracture. Doctors assert that it will take at least two to three months for Zhao ruirui to recover.
Zhao Ruirui is the ace scorer of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the core of the attack, and her injury has cast a shadow on the prospects of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

For this reason, the coach and the players are sad and under great pressure. After the coaching team studied, it was decided to let Zhang Ping replace Zhao Ruirui's main secondary attack.
Every time he was injured, it was a huge physical and mental torture for Zhao Ruirui. And when the daughter is injured once, Zhao Huaifu and his wife's hearts will be torn apart once.
This time, their daughter was recuperating in the sports team, and Zhao Huaifu and his wife could not help at all, so they sent science fiction novels and comic books to their daughters. Zhao Ruirui likes science fiction and comics the most, and finds psychological comfort in them.

In August 2004, the Athens Olympic Games kicked off, and Zhao Ruirui, who had basically recovered from his injuries, went out with the team. On August 15, in the first game against the United States, Chen Zhonghe and the coach arranged for Zhao Ruirui to start.
Zhao Ruirui was carried off the field
Only 5 minutes after the start of the match, Zhao Ruirui had a leg injury when she hit her back in the second position. She fell to the ground when she fell, unable to stand up in pain, and was carried off the field by the staff.
Zhang Ping, who played in place of Zhao Ruirui, played quite well and was elected as the best slam dunker of the tournament. In the end, Zhang Ping and her teammates dared to fight and win the Olympic gold medal. In particular, the gold medal battle with the Russian team is a classic battle.
Zhao Ruirui is a girl who pursues perfection, feels that she only played for 5 minutes, did not contribute to the team, and the Olympic gold medal was "rubbed". This became Zhao Ruirui's deep regret.
In the next Beijing Olympic Games, Zhao Ruirui is still a trump card in Chen Zhonghe's hand. In 2005, after Chen Zhonghe consulted the relevant departments, Zhao Ruirui underwent surgery in Shanghai. However, the effect of this operation was not very good.
Zhao Ruirui and Feng Kun
In February 2007, under the arrangement of the relevant departments, Zhao Ruirui and her teammate Feng Kun went to the United States for surgery. During this operation, a steel plate remained in Zhao Ruirui's right leg forever.
Due to her age and the impact of injuries, Zhao Ruirui's state has never been able to return to the peak.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the secondary offensive line of the Chinese women's volleyball team was composed of Zhao Ruirui, Ma Yunwen, Xue Ming and Xu Yunli. Ma Yunwen occupied one main position, and the other position was played by Zhao Ruirui and other 3 people in turn.
In the semifinals, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to Brazil and was squeezed out of the final circle. In the competition for the third place, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Cuban team and won a valuable bronze medal. After the game, the coaching staff and players cried.
Zhao Ruirui was not satisfied with her performance at the Beijing Olympic Games, feeling that she had not been able to make a greater contribution to the team, failed to help the team go further, and she fell into tears of sadness. This has become another major regret in Zhao Ruirui's sports career.

In 2009, Zhao Ruirui officially retired. Originally, she could choose to be elected to practice, or enter the organ to work, or go to college for further study, but Zhao Ruirui finally chose to choose her own career.
She has written beautifully, read hundreds of science fiction novels, and has many wonderful ideas in her mind, so she regards literary creation as her future career.

In 2011, Zhao Ruirui published her first science fiction novel, "The Awakening of the End times", which was well received by readers. A year later, Zhao Ruirui launched the fantasy masterpiece "Rainbow Man", and the anime illustrations in the book were all created by herself.
It is undeniable that Zhao Ruirui is rich in imagination and talented. But her status as an Olympic champion adds a lot of points, so she is more likely to succeed than the average grassroots writer.
Since 2013, Zhao Ruirui has successively created masterpieces such as "The Trail of Suspense" and "The Oracle of Shambhala", turning from an Olympic champion into a famous science fiction writer. Zhao Ruirui is 1.97 meters tall, and she has also become the tallest female writer in the mainland.

In 2016, Zhao Ruirui was 35 years old and still in the middle of the word. Liu Yudong, a famous basketball player at that time, had intended to match Zhao Ruirui and Yao Ming in love, but Zhao Ruirui felt that Yao Ming was too tall, plus he had no feelings for Yao Ming, so he declined.
Later, there was a handsome boy in the national men's volleyball team who pursued Zhao Ruirui, and she felt that she was still young, did not want to consider the emotional problem prematurely, only wanted to play single-mindedly, and also rejected the other party.
After many years, Zhao Ruirui understood that in fact, as long as the relationship between career and love is balanced, love will not become an obstacle to career, like teammate Feng Kun, who has done a good job in this regard.
Zhao Ruirui's personal problems upset her parents, and Zhao Huaifu and his wife broke their hearts for their daughter's marriage. Over the years, they have not urged marriage less, but there has been no result.
Zhao Ruirui is aware of the anxiety and pressure in her parents' hearts, and she also wants to give her parents a satisfactory explanation.

In 2018, Zhao Ruirui disclosed her mate selection criteria in an interview with a media in Nanjing: one is that the height is comparable to her own; the second is that she has a good character and pursues progress; the third is that she has a fixed income and career; and the fourth is that she looks good, does not require handsomeness, but looks good.
Objectively speaking, Zhao Ruirui's requirements for choosing a mate are not high. However, Zhao Ruirui is 1.97 meters tall, how many men in reality can reach such a height? Therefore, Zhao Ruirui's first request for choosing a mate has deterred many men.
Over the years, under the introduction of relatives and friends, Zhao Ruirui has been on blind dates many times, but they have not succeeded.
Some men feel that Zhao Ruirui is an Olympic champion and a famous writer, too famous, high income, worried that he is not worthy, and will no longer contact after meeting. This made Zhao Ruirui and her parents very distressed.
In July 2021, Zhao Ruirui launched a new work "Volleyball Soul". At this time, the news broke on the Internet, saying that Zhao Ruirui was married, her husband's surname was Liu, and many netizens sent blessings.

However, in an interview, Zhao Ruirui made it clear that she was not married and is still single.
In May 2022, Zhao Ruirui was 41 years old and still unmarried and single.
Her personal problems became a heart disease of her parents, and Zhao Huaifu and his wife often struggled with insomnia. They are getting older day by day, and their biggest wish is to see their daughter get married and start a family as soon as possible.
Zhao Ruirui also hopes that she can be favored by the goddess of love and enjoy the sweetness of marriage and love as soon as possible!
