In the 1980s, when the material and spiritual worlds were much less scarce than today, Sun Jinfang was not only an irreplaceable sports idol in the hearts of our Jiangsu fans, but also a women's volleyball captain who was loved by the people of the whole country.
Yesterday, I accidentally saw the news of Sun Jinfang on the Internet, and learned that the heroic volleyball idol of that year actually had blood cancer more than ten years ago. The nostalgic plot in my heart ignited at once, and I couldn't sleep for a long time, so I simply came to the mobile phone at night to cultivate it to express my heartache and regret.
In 1981, under the "devil" training of Coach Yuan Weimin, the Chinese women's volleyball team came out of the trough and ushered in the third women's volleyball World Cup. Before the game, the Chinese team was not optimistic about the world, but with the brave and tenacious spirit of hard work, the Chinese team defeated Brazil, the Soviet Union, South Korea, Bulgaria, Cuba and the United States, and achieved an unbeaten record of 6 consecutive wins. The last opponent is Japan, with 5 wins and one loss in the first 6 rounds, and the Chinese team only needs to win two sets to win the championship.
I remember that the decisive battle with the Japanese team was on the evening of November 16 of that year, when I was in my junior year, and my classmates gathered around the only black-and-white TV set early on to cheer for the Chinese women's volleyball team. In that era when reform and opening up were just beginning, sports projects themselves were not carried out much, and projects that went out of Asia to ask the world were even rarer and rarer. The students held their breath and watched with full concentration the final showdown between the Chinese team and the Japanese team. Under the precise passing of captain Sun Jinfang and the dazzling fast attack organization, under the high point attack of "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping and the full cooperation and excellent netting of Zhang Rongfang, Zhou Xiaolan and other players, the Chinese team quickly won two sets at 15:8 and 15:7. Perhaps having won the championship, the Chinese team relaxed a bit and was won two sets by the Japanese team. In the unfavorable situation of 0:4 backwardness, the Chinese team calmly and calmly struggled one point at a time, and finally won the opponent 17:15 and achieved an undefeated record of 7 full victories, thus creating the immortal cause of the Chinese women's volleyball team winning five consecutive world championships.
In this World Cup, Sun Jinfang won three awards: the Best Athlete Award, the Outstanding Athlete Award and the Second Pass Award, creating a unique personal best in the history of the World Cup.
On the night of the championship, the whole campus, the whole street, the whole China, all boiled, the students hugged each other, tears in their eyes, the kind of crazy energy that the whole people love the women's volleyball team and the whole people empty alleys to watch the women's volleyball team is really unforgettable. Celebrating on campus is not too addictive, everyone went to the street to vent their emotions, shouted out the slogan of "long live the women's volleyball team, revitalize China", and the school student union also sent a congratulatory message to the Chinese women's volleyball team "winning glory for the country".
One day in the spring of 2014, my lover and I were choosing a curtain style in the curtain hall of the Nanjing Red Star Macalline Card Store. When a personable man walked into the store with an elegant lady, my lover immediately greeted the lady warmly and sat down to talk to her. I glanced at it from the side, and it felt familiar, as if I had seen it, but because I was discussing curtains with the owner, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was an acquaintance of my lover. But when they left, I suddenly remembered something and said to my lover, how much she resembled Sun Jinfang. My lover looked at me sheepishly and told me word for a long time that she was Sun Jinfang. I was blinded at that time, and the hometown idol that our Jiangsu fans were thinking about, so that the opportunity to listen to the idol's advice, ask the idol to sign, and take a photo with the idol was actually missed. I stomped my feet in a hurry, fiercely blaming my lover for not telling me, didn't I know that I was a loyal fan of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and didn't know that Sun Jinfang was an idol figure that I had admired since I was a child. The lover whispered apologetically, I thought you knew who she was, and I had already said to her: "You are the pride of the people of Jiangsu, and Chinese hero in the hearts of the people." "On your behalf, I express to her the love of Jiangsu fans. After that, I often blamed myself, having this unforgettable experience, but with little regret. Even lovers who don't like to watch sports can recognize idols at a glance, but they are so unresponsive that they really don't deserve to be fans of idols.
Sun Jinfang, Chinese women's volleyball team: Jiangsu fans, Chinese fans, always thank you for bringing us endless happiness and tenacious fighting, brave and hard work of the women's volleyball spirit, greatly stimulated our Chinese pride, self-esteem and self-confidence, for us in the new era and new journey to strive to provide a strong spiritual force!
