When it comes to the members of the Chinese women's volleyball team, many people will first think of Lang Ping, Zhu Ting, these excellent attacking players, because they are the most active presence on the field, but also a banner of the Chinese women's volleyball team today, almost every score is related to them, but whether it is Lang Ping or Zhu Ting, their success is not just a person's credit, behind them, there have been people silently paying, this position is the second pass in the team, in the 80s of the last century, when Lang Ping led the Chinese women's volleyball team to create brilliance, Behind her there was a player who paid silently, that is, Sun Jinfang, who was the captain of the women's volleyball team at the time.
People who do not understand the rules of volleyball must be difficult to understand, there are always two people on the court who will never go to the dunk score, but constantly run on the field to save the ball, these two positions are the second setter and the free man, compared to the free man is only responsible for checking the lack of leaks, the second setter needs to shoulder the team's defense and offensive organization and other aspects of the task, so in a volleyball team, the second setter is often the soul of the team, Sun Jinfang is the soul of the old women's queue, then not only that, Sun Jinfang is also one of the founders of the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and was also recognized as the best second setter in the world
1981 Women's Volleyball World Cup, is the First Time the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team stood on top of the world, the first 6 games to avenge the full victory of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team, the last round of facing Japan, as long as the win of two rounds can ensure the championship, the first two games of the Chinese team easily won, at this time the gold medal has been pocketed, but the next two sets of the Chinese team has slackened, by the Japanese team to win two sets, at this time Sun Jinfang realized that if you can win the championship with a full victory record, it is more meaningful, as the captain of her began to mobilize the whole team, And finally helped the Chinese women's volleyball team to win 17-15 in the decider, and the "women's volleyball spirit" was also mentioned for the first time at this time.
At that time, the training conditions of the women's volleyball girls were very poor, many people practiced on the cement floor with blurred flesh and blood, so many people eventually retired early due to injury, Sun Jinfang was the most fierce training in the whole team at that time, as the captain she has also been playing an exemplary role for the team members. It is also because of the high intensity of training, so that Sun Jinfang had to retire early, after retiring Sun Jinfang also always pay attention to the Chinese women's volleyball team, but now that she is over 60 years old, she is also plagued by diseases, suffering from blood cancer, she has to rely on blood exchange to maintain her life, which makes her body already scarred, suffered from multiple diseases.
The first time this matter was really known to the public, it came from a Weibo revelation by Xu Yang, a famous tennis commentator and tennis promoter on CCTV, in June 2014, Xu Yang Weibo posted 3 photos of Sun Jinfang, and wrote, "Several times of body blood exchange is still waiting for medical progress to heal her, is the real warrior in my heart!" ”
Then the reporter interviewed Xu Yang further learned that it was indeed Sun Jinfang, and it had been ten years at that time, and the current medicine did not have a complete cure, it could only be maintained through blood exchange, and had been changed 2 times, fortunately it had been stable. So it seems that Sun Jinfang has been suffering from the disease for 16 years!
It can be said that without Sun Jinfang, there will be no well-known "iron hammer", and there will be no glory and achievements of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Sun Jinfang has always been silently supporting the progress and development of the Chinese women's volleyball team behind the scenes, even in the case of such a serious disease as blood cancer, it still has not opened its mouth to the motherland, for such an excellent old women's volleyball player, in addition to respecting us, we can not find a better description.
