On a late autumn night, when everything was silent, Bai Lang sat in a quiet café, and the moonlight outside the window sprinkled on her body, as if shrouding her with a soft halo. She is preparing for an interview about her personal life and career.
This moment, for Bai Lang, is not only a review, but also a profound self-exploration.
The topic of the interview is about her family, especially the divorce of her parents, the legendary Chinese women's volleyball coach Lang Ping and Bai Fan, and the impact of this incident on her personal growth.
Bai Lang not only inherited the physical advantages of her parents, but also showed her unique spiritual outlook in life.
Her life seems to be woven between volleyball, finance, and art, and each part reveals a different understanding and passion for life.
What is not known, however, is the story of how she found herself in the impact of her parents' divorce.
Bai Lang: The growth of a girl on the volleyball court
In 2005, when Bai Lang was 14 years old, she officially stepped into the world of volleyball and started her volleyball journey.
Growing up, the influence of her parents was profound and significant.
As a beginner, Bai Lang's every move on the volleyball court reveals the youthfulness of a novice, but her height grew rapidly, and soon reached 189cm, which stood out among her peers.
Her height advantage is on full display on the volleyball court.
Whenever the game starts, Bai Lang is always able to jump up easily and complete difficult blocks and smashes.
Parents often stood on the sidelines to watch her plays, providing guidance and support to her.
Her father, although he is not an expert in volleyball skills, can always give Bai Lang spiritual encouragement, telling her to be brave, persistent, and constantly improve herself.
And her mother, Lang Ping, as a legend of the Chinese women's volleyball team, gave Bai Lang a lot of guidance in terms of technology and tactics.
Bai Lang started the game as a pick-up player.
In this position, she needs to have strong defensive ability and flexible offensive skills.
She is often able to accurately judge the direction of the opponent's smash in the game, complete the block in time, and when counterattacking, she can also use her height advantage to complete difficult smashes.
Bai Lang's skills gradually matured, and she began to switch to playing the main offensive position.
This position requires players to not only have strong offensive ability, but also have a certain amount of receiving and defensive ability.
In this new position, Bai Lang appears more at ease.
Her attacking prowess stands out in the team, and she is often able to score decisive goals at crucial moments.
In the competition, Bai Lang's figure is always particularly eye-catching.
She moves quickly on the court, is light and powerful when jumping, and displays amazing explosiveness and accuracy every time she jumps and smashes.
Her performances are often reminiscent of her mother, Lang Ping, on the field.
Lang Ping was once the absolute mainstay of the Chinese women's volleyball team, known for his accurate smashing and tenacious playing style.
Challenges and choices at Stanford
In 2008, Bai Lang joined the Stanford University volleyball team as a new member.
Her arrival was like a fresh whirlwind, quickly sweeping through the entire team.
In the California TCA team, she is becoming more and more indispensable.
Whenever the whistle blew, Bai Lang was like a roc with wings spread, her agile and powerful jumps, and her unmistakable smashing skills were always able to easily tear through the opponent's defense.
In an important match, Bai Lang once again showed off her amazing smashing skills.
When the game was at its most tense, Bai Lang suddenly jumped up, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, and her arm slammed down, slamming the ball towards the opponent's court.
The stadium erupted in thunderous applause, and the crowd cheered for her wonderful performance.
After the game, Lang Ping walked towards Bai Lang, her eyes full of pride and recognition.
Lang Ping said softly: "Langlang, your performance today is very good, really like me when I was young." ”
Bai Lang replied with a smile: "Thank you, Mom, it was you who taught me all this." ”
However, on a quiet night, Lang Ping and Bai Lang sat together.
Lang Ping said to Bai Lang earnestly: "Although you have performed well on the court, the path of volleyball is not the only choice. You should think about your true interests and future. ”
Bai Lang listened, his eyes flashing with a glint of thought.
She knew that her mother's words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and Lang Ping wanted her to understand that everyone has their own path, even if this path is different from the family tradition.
It was in this way that Bai Lang made a decision.
Instead of following in her mother's footsteps, she decided to look for her "peak".
This decision meant that she needed to leave the familiar volleyball court and explore a whole new world.
Transformation: From volleyball player to investment analyst
After graduating from Stanford University, Bai Lang's life path opened a new chapter.
She chose to become a bank investment analyst, a decision that was undoubtedly unexpected to many who are familiar with her volleyball career.
In the bank's office, Bai Lang showed a very different side from the volleyball court.
Her daily work is to read a lot of financial reports, analyze market trends, and predict investment risks, which is very different from the fierce confrontation on the volleyball court, but she also shows her talent and hard work in this new field.
Even in his busy work, Bai Lang still did not give up his love for volleyball.
She takes up volleyball as her hobby and always finds time to go to the court after work and on weekends.
For her, volleyball is not only a sport, but also an emotional sustenance, a bond with the past.
In a public interview, the interviewer expressed curiosity about Bai Lang's career choice.
Facing the camera, Bai Lang frankly shared his thoughts: "Although my career path is different from that of my parents, I have learned a lot from them. I feel very blessed because I know that I have inherited many of their strengths. ”
Bai Lang, who works in a bank, inherits the spirit of her parents in her unique way.
Her work requires a great deal of concentration and analytical skills, qualities that she has cultivated from her volleyball training.
Her ability to find critical information quickly and accurately when analyzing complex financial data is in some ways similar to how she can quickly judge and respond on a volleyball court.
Although Bai Lang's life has changed dramatically, her relationship with her parents is still close.
Whenever she faces challenges in her work, she always gets support and encouragement from her parents.
Bai Lang's father often called her to ask about her work and life, while her mother, Lang Ping, often cooked a hearty dinner for Bai Lang when she was tired, chatted with her, and shared the bits and pieces of life.
On Bai Lang's desk, there is a photo of her and her parents.
They are smiling brightly in the photo, which was taken by Bai Lang on the day he graduated from Stanford University.
Whenever Bai Lang sees this photo, she can feel the warmth and strength from her family.
The warmth and support of the family
From Bai Lang's memory, it can be seen that despite the changes in the family structure, her parents' care and support for her have always been the same.
As a busy volleyball coach, Lang Ping always finds time to spend time with Bai Lang, no matter how busy he is, whether it's attending her school activities or spending family time together.
She often teaches Bai Lang volleyball skills, but more often than not, she is a listener and mentor in Bai Lang's life.
And Bai Fan, although his professional background has nothing to do with sports, he also participates in Bai Lang's life in his own way.
He often takes Bai Lang to outdoor activities, teaches her to swim and ride, and lets her experience the fun of sports that is different from volleyball.
He also taught Bai Lang many life skills, such as financial management and self-management.
In Bai Lang's memory, those times spent with his father were always full of fun and learning.
When Bai Lang was growing up, although her parents were busy with work, they always tried to participate in her life as much as possible.
For example, when holding a parent-teacher meeting at Bailang's school, whether it is Lang Ping or Bai Fan, they will always try to adjust their schedules to ensure that at least one person attends.
They will communicate with the teacher to find out how Bai Lang is doing in school and encourage her to continue to work hard in her studies and interests.
During Bai Lang's teenage years, the divorce of her parents was a challenge for her.
But it was her parents' understanding and support that enabled her to get through this stage smoothly.
They never put too much pressure on Bai Lang, but instead encouraged her to express her feelings and cultivate her independence and self-confidence.
Her parents always gave her enough space and support to help her find solutions to her problems when facing the difficulties and challenges in Bai Lang's life.
Whenever Bai Lang encounters a problem or confusion, she can always find the answer in the communication with her parents.
Whether it is the confusion in her studies, the interaction with friends, or the choice of her future career, her parents are her most solid support.
For example, when Bai Lang decided to change careers to become an investment analyst, although this decision surprised many people, her parents gave her the greatest support and encouragement.
White Waves: Inheritance and Transcendence
Bai Lang's growth path not only inherited her parents' significant height advantage, but also she learned and practiced many valuable spirits.
Under the influence of the family environment, Bai Lang gradually understood the profound meaning of mutual understanding, solidarity and friendship and the Olympic spirit of fair competition.
These spirits are not only evident on the sports field, but also play a vital role in her daily life, especially in her professional life.
In his banking role, Bai Lang often needs to work with a team to solve complex problems.
She always insists on teamwork and encourages mutual support and understanding among team members.
In the face of highly competitive financial markets, she always maintains the principle of fair play and strives to succeed on the basis of abiding by the rules.
In addition, Bai Lang also showed a tenacious and hard-working sportsmanship that dared to challenge himself.
Whether it is competing on the volleyball court or pursuing a career in finance, she has always been undaunted by difficulties and has the courage to face and overcome challenges.
This ethos stems from her homeschooling and is one of the most valuable assets she has learned from her parents.
In 2020, a movie called "Winning the Championship" was released, which tells the history of the struggle of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In this movie, Bai Lang played the young Lang Ping.
Although Bai Lang had no professional acting experience before, her outstanding performance won wide praise from the audience and critics.
She not only showed Lang Ping's youthful demeanor to the fullest, but also added her own understanding and perception to the performance.
In the process of playing the mother, Bai Lang has a deeper understanding of Lang Ping's life and struggles.
Her performance on set was full of power and contagion, allowing her to successfully interpret the image of a legendary volleyball player.
Through this performance, Bai Lang not only showed her talent as an actress, but also showed her inheritance and transcendence of her family tradition.
Shortly after the film's release, Bai Lang won the Best New Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild 2020 for his outstanding performance in the film.
This award is not only a recognition of her acting skills, but also an affirmation of her hard work and talent.
Through this film, Bai Lang shows the world how she perfectly combines her family's volleyball tradition with her personal multifaceted development.
