At present, the Chinese women's volleyball national team is under the leadership of coach Lang Ping, step by step preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and striving for the goal of "raising the national flag and playing the national anthem". On the other hand, the veterans who have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese women's volleyball team are also busy with the honor of this collective. On January 17, some netizens posted photos of former women's volleyball national player Wang Lina standing for a certain brand on social platforms.
From the photo, Wang Lina is wearing a gray sports coat and red sweatpants, and inside is a Chinese women's volleyball dress that symbolizes great glory. Wang Lina, 42, became a hot pot shop owner after retiring from the army, but since last year, she has changed careers and repeatedly posted recent developments on short video platforms. As far as the current situation is concerned, wang Lina has obvious wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, slightly fat, and shows an old attitude.
When it comes to Wang Lina, everyone's first impression is that the slam ball is powerful, nicknamed "Big Bird", but few people know about her unhappy childhood life. On the 21st day of the lunar month in 1978, Wang Lina was born into an ordinary family in Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province. However, Wang Lina's arrival did not bring a little joy to the family, but became the fuse for her parents' divorce. Since Wang Lina already had a girl in the family before she was born, her biological father, who wanted to continue the incense, abandoned the Wang Lina sisters and her mother 20 days after her birth.
Wang Lina's mother, Song Yun, was a former sprinter who became a primary school physical education teacher after retiring from the military. While working, raising two young daughters at the same time, this hardship can be imagined. When Wang Lina was 5 years old, her stepfather was transferred to work in a winery in Xiongyue Town, Liaoning Province, and she also moved to Liaoning. In Wang Lina's memory, her childhood life was poor and turbulent, and she had to move home almost every six months. However, it is also the experience of her youth that has cultivated Wang Lina's strong adaptability and laid a solid foundation for entering the Bayi team and the national team in the future.
In the fifth grade of primary school, Wang Lina's height was more than 1 meter 70, and Wang Lina, who had long arms and legs, was selected by Wang Chengyun, who was also a physical education teacher. Knowing that practicing sports is hard, my mother strongly opposes it, but she can't help but be persuaded by her colleagues to agree. Due to inheriting her mother's good athletic talent, Wang Lina entered the Gaizhou Amateur Sports School in the second year and was selected by the Bayi Youth Women's Volleyball Team after only 3 months of training. In fact, in that year, the Liaoning women's volleyball team also threw an olive branch to Wang Lina, but because going to the Bayi women's volleyball team for training did not require additional living expenses at home, Wang Lina chose the Bayi women's volleyball team.
Because at that time, Wang Lina's stepfather's factory closed, and his stepfather was paralyzed by cerebral hemorrhage, the whole family could only rely on her mother's meager salary to support, and life was very poor. Although going to the Liaoning women's volleyball team is close to home, but to pay 35 yuan a month to pay living expenses, and to go to Beijing's Bayi women's volleyball team does not need to pay money, so the sensible Wang Lina chose to leave her hometown. The story behind, I think everyone is familiar with, she represented the Chinese women's volleyball team in the 96, 00 and 04 Olympic Games, and got a good result of 1 gold and 1 silver.
