"Welcome Senior Sister Lang Ping home!" On the afternoon of June 12, Lang Ping, the former head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, returned to his alma mater, Beijing Chen Jinglun Middle School, to share his struggle story with his juniors.
"I am very excited and excited to go back to my alma mater. It's a pleasure to be back to where the dream began. After a simple opening remark, Lang Ping recalled his experience of learning volleyball through questions from his juniors, "I am very excited every time I go to school, because I can 'play' when I get to school!" Seeing the students at the scene will smile, Lang Ping then explained, "When I say 'play', I mean that I can run to the playground to exercise every recess. ”
Lang Ping recalled that because he was too thin, he was "pushed" to the basketball team by the teacher of the track and field team, and finally came to the volleyball team. Fortunately, the volleyball teacher at that time "had a good eye", praised Lang Ping for jumping well, and encouraged her to "don't matter if you are thin, you can also play volleyball", which made Lang Ping get acquainted with volleyball.
In the following decades, as an athlete, Lang Ping fought bravely on the field, and after becoming the head coach, he strategized and led the Chinese women's volleyball team to new glory. "What's behind you?" There were questions from students at the scene.
"It's love!" Lang Ping said the "secret" of success: "Because I like it, I don't think a lot of giving is paying." ”
She encouraged the students present to pay more attention to the process, especially the process of their own efforts, no matter which track they are on in life, and do their best without regrets.
On the same day, Chen Jinglun Middle School also sent a surprise to Lang Ping: invited the class teacher and classmates to return to school to reunite with her. "Lang Ping asked me to praise her more." As soon as he came on the stage, Ma Yuhong, Lang Ping's deputy head teacher, brought out the "whisper" and arrangement of the teacher and student, causing laughter from the audience. "Of course I have to praise her." After laughing, Ma Yuhong calmed his excitement and continued to recall: "Every morning before self-study and after afternoon class, I can see Lang Ping practicing ball. At that time, I thought, how can this child practice without knowing pain and not being tired?! ”
Lang Ping was also invited to award a license to the "Lang Ping Class" and kick off the inaugural "Lang Ping Cup" volleyball league. Liu Xuemei, principal of Chen Jinglun Middle School, said that from September this year, Chen Jinglun Middle School Education Group will select "Langping classes" in each school section. "We are planning the selection criteria for the 'Langping Class', hoping that the selection of well-rounded classes will play an exemplary role in the whole school." In the future, the Group will gradually promote the full coverage of volleyball courses in all school sections.
