The recent situation of Liang Yan, the "five champions" of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
How is Liang Yan, the former world champion of the Chinese women's volleyball team, doing?
Liang Yan, the only full-time member of the old women's volleyball team who has won five consecutive championships, has a colorful life after her retirement, has experienced a variety of role transformations, and now enjoys a happy and satisfying life.
As a member of the women's volleyball team, Liang Yan has a very straightforward personality. In an interview, Liang Yan said: "When you are an athlete, standing on the championship podium is the greatest happiness. But one can't just immerse oneself in that memory all the time, I like to turn the page and try and enjoy the different roles of life. ”
As Liang Yan said, she does not like to immerse herself in the past, and likes to try and enjoy life, which is also a true portrayal of her retirement.
During Liang Yan's playing period, he experienced the happiness of five consecutive championships.
Liang Yan (born October 4, 1961 in Chengdu, Sichuan), graduated from Chinese University, is a former Chinese women's volleyball player and deputy attacker.
She was selected into the National Women's Volleyball Training Team in 1979, and has won the World Cup Women's Volleyball Championship, the World Women's Volleyball Championship, the Olympic Women's Volleyball Championship, the World Women's Volleyball Championship and other awards, and is the participant of the "Five Consecutive Championships" of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team.
Liang Yan is known as the "Smiling Black Baby" because of her unique temperament.
Deng Ruozeng coached Liang Yan: This guy is very ghostly.
Among the old women's volleyball players, Liang Yan always gave the impression of a ponytail and a smile.
"I was born in 1961, no one in my family played sports, and I didn't even touch volleyball until I was 13."
I'm afraid that Liang Yan herself did not expect that the volleyball road that Yin and Yang mistakenly embarked on was smooth sailing.
Since entering Chengdu Amateur Sports School in 1975, she has been selected into the national women's volleyball training team in only 4 years. When the Chinese women's volleyball team first reached the top of the 1981 World Cup, 20-year-old Liang Yan was the youngest member of the team. "I was particularly lucky to win the world championship for the first time as a substitute and retired after five consecutive championships, catching up with the best time."
For the secondary attack position, Liang Yan's height of 1.77 meters is not outstanding, and the outstretched arm is less than the length of Zheng Meizhu, who is 1.72 meters.
This made her worried for a while, and even took the initiative to ask coach Deng Ruo for a "substitution". "Director Deng said that you can go if you want, unless you can find a more suitable secondary attack than you." Since then, Liang Yan has never played a retreat, and with excellent technical and psychological qualities, she has repeatedly become the "strange soldier" of the Chinese women's volleyball team. "I'm a player on the field, I've never been nervous or smiling when I play on the pitch, and I've always had this optimistic mindset to this day."
In Liang Yan's view, her life is smooth enough, and at the age of "knowing the destiny of heaven", cherishing the present and enjoying life has become her greatest pursuit.
Until 1986, Liang Yan participated in all the competitions of the Chinese women's volleyball team's five championships, adding a touch of brilliance to her career. At the 1986 World Championships, Liang Yan was forced to retire at the age of 25 due to injury. Liang Yan gave her youth to the Chinese women's volleyball team, and after she retired, she did not choose to stay in the volleyball team, but went to Chinese University.
Liang Yan is a graduate of the Department of Journalism, and later joined a magazine, because of her simple personality and relatively simple personality, she is very popular in the magazine, there is no shelf of world champions, and she is very enthusiastic about her colleagues. However, Liang Yan felt that such a job was not too challenging, so after working in the magazine for a few years, she chose to quit her job and start her own business.

Women like Liang Yan, who have both the fame of a world champion and successfully start their own business, of course, have all kinds of elite pursuits, but in fact, in the second year of retirement, Liang Yan got married.
Liang Yan's husband, named Niu Yi, is a musician who works as a performer in the Air Politics Cultural troupe. And he also has another identity, that is, Liang Yan's hardcore fans. Niu Yi admired the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he was very excited to see the women's volleyball team win the championship on TV, and after knowing Liang Yan for a long time, the long-term relationship also turned this worship into love.
The two married in 1987 and a year later welcomed their lovely daughter.
Now 58 years old, Liang Yan is already a successful entrepreneur.
The most worth mentioning is Liang Yan's daughter, who has been very good since she was a child, with excellent grades, obedient and sensible, entering a prestigious school after the college entrance examination, and under the guidance of her parents, her daughter got an enviable job - a doctor in Tsinghua.
Every successful person has a similar shining point, and Liang Yan's persistence, non-abandonment and non-abandonment traits are ultimately doomed to her success.
From this point of view, it is enough to prove that Liang Yan's daughter is indeed very good under her guidance, no wonder Liang Yan is getting younger and younger, with a smooth career and a worry-free life, which is the greatest happiness!
