When it comes to the "spirit of the women's volleyball team", everyone should know and know. The spirit of the women's volleyball team includes excellent qualities such as never giving up and tenacious struggle, which is an important part of today's social culture.
In the 2080s, in the third women's volleyball World Cup held in Japan, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Japanese women's volleyball team met in this narrow road. After a fierce competition, with the last whistle of the referee blowing, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the difficult battle 17-15 and won the world championship.
Since then, the Chinese women's volleyball team has opened the glory of "three consecutive championships" and achieved a great breakthrough in Chinese sports in the world.
Behind this, it is inseparable from the efforts of the women's volleyball girls. In addition to the famous "iron hammer" Lang Ping, there is also a female general in the women's volleyball team who is famous for "blocking the net", who once used her "copper wall iron wall" to block the fierce attack of the Japanese team again and again, she was the women's volleyball player Zhou Xiaolan, who was known as the "Tiananmen City Wall" at that time.

As a hero of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Zhou Xiaolan has been valued by the relevant departments of the state after retiring. After retiring from the army, she entered the famous Shanghai Institute of Sport for further study, and after graduation, she directly entered the National Sports Commission, in charge of volleyball, which she was most familiar with, and was appointed by her superiors as the director of the hot "Volleyball Department" at that time, and her future was very good.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Xiaolan is not only rich in practical experience, but also has a high emotional intelligence and a very good relationship with the leader. As a retired veteran, she is very passionate about the volleyball career she once engaged in, and she actively promotes the development of the Chinese women's volleyball team in her work, tries to change the training mode, and takes major measures such as introducing foreign funds, which greatly promotes the development of the volleyball career and even the entire sports culture market at that time.
Of course, the leader also saw that she was not only highly emotionally intelligent, but also had strong leadership skills. So in 1994, at the age of 38, Zhou Xiaolan was appointed deputy director of the Ball Department of the National Sports Commission, and also served as the director of the Volleyball Department, equivalent to the position of deputy department. At this time, Zhou Xiaolan had unlimited scenery for a while.
However, there is no eternal champion, and the women's volleyball team began to walk down the altar after experiencing "three consecutive championships" and "five consecutive championships".
Around the 90s, the women's volleyball team began to decline, and the ranking in various competitions in the world also fell all the way down the altar. In 1992, there was a scandal in which athletes took doping. This move undoubtedly gave the women's volleyball team the heaviest blow, and the National Sports Commission also felt pressure to ask Zhou Xiaolan, the head of the women's volleyball team at the time, to explain.
I have to say that the decline in the performance of the women's volleyball team is caused by many factors, and Zhou Xiaolan also deeply reflected on herself and decided to listen to the opinions of her old friend Yuan Weimin at that time to hold a press conference and make an account to the public.
However, this decision was opposed by all members of the women's volleyball team, and then, the press conference was also forced to cancel under pressure.
After this incident, Zhou Xiaolan's work began to encounter unprecedented difficulties.
In order to revitalize the women's volleyball team, Zhou Xiaolan, on behalf of the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time, began to mobilize Lang Ping, who was coaching the American women's volleyball team in the United States at that time, to return to China, and the two formed a deep friendship since the beginning of joint training, at the same time, both of them loved volleyball and loved the motherland. After Zhou Xiaolan's persuasion, Lang Ping finally agreed to Zhou Xiaolan and returned to China to coach the women's volleyball team.
However, later, Zhou Xiaolan suddenly received a notice that she did not have to worry about all the affairs of Lang Ping's return to China, and that the matter had been handed over to others, and even Lang Ping's pick-up she did not have to go.
However, the stubborn Zhou Xiaolan still insisted on picking up her friend and returning to China, but her superiors asked her to write an application to prove that she was picking up Lang Ping in her personal capacity. Zhou Xiaolan believes that Lang Ping's return to China was facilitated by her own mediation, but now, she is not qualified to connect her friends to get off the plane, which is really puzzling.
Shortly thereafter, Zhou Xiaolan felt that working in this atmosphere was too depressing for people to adapt to, so she submitted her resignation application in 1995.
The superior leaders had repeatedly retained her and made her seriously consider the decision. At that time, Zhou Xiaolan's position had reached the level of deputy department, and she also made great contributions to the cause of women's volleyball. However, Zhou Xiaolan insisted that she had "personal reasons" and insisted on her decision to resign.
After resigning, Zhou Xiaolan also refused the coaching invitation of the multinational team and lived his own ordinary life.
At that time, Zhou Xiaolan's husband taught at an American university, and the two lived apart for a long time. Zhou Xiaolan is a woman who cares for her family and longs for family life. Therefore, after Zhou Xiaolan resigned, she took her daughter to the United States to reunite with her husband.
After going to the United States, Zhou Xiaolan devoted herself to her family, managing housework, educating her daughter, and living a very happy life.
Many people have gone to interview Zhou Xiaolan, hoping to get news from her mouth of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but Zhou Xiaolan has never mentioned the women's volleyball team to anyone, and slowly, she has faded out of people's sight.

Zhou Xiaolan is a native of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and her parents are intellectuals.
In the 1960s, Zhou Xiaolan's parents actively responded to the country's call to revitalize northwest industry and went to work together in Taiyuan, Shanxi, while Zhou Xiaolan was left at her grandmother's house in Shanghai, where her grandmother took care of her. Fortunately, her grandmother loved Zhou Xiaolan very much, and although her parents were not around, Zhou Xiaolan still spent a very happy childhood.
In 1966, her parents decided to take Zhou Xiaolan to her side, and Zhou Xiaolan was very happy. Since then, in the process of growing up, Zhou Xiaolan's parents have always adhered to the principle of strict education, which has also allowed Zhou Xiaolan to cultivate an excellent character of perseverance. However, the happy days did not last forever, and just four years later, Zhou Xiaolan's parents were sent to a mountain village in Shanxi.
Although there is a shortage of food and clothing in the village, 13-year-old Zhou Xiaolan has grown to more than 1.7 meters. The terrain of the mountain village is very rugged and very simple, and it is very far from the water source. If you want to drink water, you have to go far away and pick it up one by one.
Although Zhou Xiaolan was tall, she had never done such a job as carrying water, and she was only a child, and her strength was not great. In the process of carrying water, it is often fallen, and the water often falls to the ground. Despite this, she never complained, but silently returned and refilled the water. The hard years in the mountain village have deeply sharpened her and made her develop a stoic character.
One winter, Zhou Xiaolan was walking on the mountain road home, when it was already dark, Zhou Xiaolan found that there was a big wild wolf on the mountain road in front of her. At this moment, the eyes of the big wild wolf were glowing green and were slowly approaching him. This frightened Zhou Xiaolan, she wanted to run, but also knew that she could not run the wolf, she could only hide!
She looked around and saw a cave on a nearby hill. He immediately rushed over, hid in the innermost part of the cave, and found a sharp stone in the cave, thinking that if the wolf found himself, he would fight with the wolf!
Luckily, the wolf didn't spot her. However, Zhou Xiaolan still did not dare to leave the cave until it was completely dark, at this time, everyone found that Zhou Xiaolan had not yet returned home, and began to look for her.
Finally, an old grandfather found Zhou Xiaolan, Zhou Xiaolan followed his grandfather back to the village, saw his mother at the door, Zhou Xiaolan could not bear it any longer, holding his mother and crying.
After this incident, Zhou Xiaolan was even stronger.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="54" > third, the late "copper wall iron wall"</h1>
In 1973, Taiyuan City held the Municipal Games, and Zhou Xiaolan, who was only 16 years old at the time, also signed up to participate, although he was only 16 years old, his height had grown to one meter and seven six, which was very eye-catching.
When athletes from all over the world entered, Zhou Xiaolan attracted the attention of the basketball coach of Taiyuan Sports School at that time, and the coach felt that she was a good seedling for practicing basketball, so he selected her into the basketball team.
Unfortunately, the basketball team was already full at that time, so Zhou Xiaolan was transferred to the volleyball team that was not enough at that time to practice, and the original plan was to wait for the shift. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaolan met her favorite volleyball here and never changed classes again.
At that time, 16-year-old Zhou Xiaolan was already relatively old among a group of sports students. The training at the gym was very hard and boring, and the daily high-intensity practice made many little girls in the team cry bitterly, and even cried when they were tired. In this regard, Zhou Xiaolan did not feel hard, but became more and more interested in volleyball.
With the progress of training, Zhou Xiaolan's strength has become stronger and stronger, she has constantly broken through herself, and finally was selected into the Shanxi Provincial Women's Volleyball Team.
At that time, the Youth Volleyball World Championship was held in Barcelona, and the Chinese national youth team selected elite athletes from various provinces and cities to participate, and there was a hard standard: this competition required that the participants must be under the age of 20.
At this time, Zhou Xiaolan, who was less than 20 years old and 182 centimeters tall, attracted the attention of the youth team. Finally, Zhou Xiaolan, who has superb ball skills, was successfully selected for the national youth team and represented the country in the Youth Volleyball World Championships.
In this competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the runner-up, and Zhou Xiaolan, who served as the "main deputy attacker" in the team, was favored by the national team and entered the national team training after returning to China.
At first, when Zhou Xiaolan heard the coach say the news, she couldn't believe it was true. After confirming with the coach that this was true, Zhou Xiaolan jumped up happily, "I will be a national player from now on!" Zhou Xiaolan thought to herself.
In this way, Zhou Xiaolan began to enter at the age of 16, and after only 4 years of professional volleyball training, he entered the national team. With excellent ball skills and wisdom, tenacious quality and excellent psychological quality, after entering the country, she served as the main player in the national team, with the national team to play in various competitions, it is really a "big instrument late".
In the 1981 Women's Volleyball World Cup, facing the host Japan, Zhou Xiaolan was not afraid of danger, dared to think and dare to fight, she used her body to build a "copper wall and iron wall" for the Chinese women's volleyball team, so that Japan's strong attack on this stopped here, and finally won the victory.
After Zhou Xiaolan moved to the United States, she often missed the hard years of training at that time, and in the face of all kinds of gossip from the outside world, she only smiled slightly and said: "Thanks to the cultivation of the motherland, I have today's achievements, and I love my motherland incomparably, only because I am a Chinese." ”
Today's Zhou Xiaolan, life is comfortable and comfortable. When she has free time, she also goes to the local school and teaches the children to play volleyball. She has never forgotten her motherland, and her youth has been fully dedicated to the Chinese women's volleyball team she loves.
