Two years later, Zhou Suhong was selected for the national youth team.

After Athens reached the top of the world, Zhou Suhong also represented the Chinese women's volleyball team in the Beijing Olympic Games and won the bronze medal; in 2010, she participated in the Guangzhou Asian Games and helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the championship.

She first served as the deputy director and director of the University Ball Department of Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College, and then was elected deputy secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League.
After retiring from the army, Zhou Suhong is very low-key, appearing in public places, and the few appearances are mostly work reasons. It can be seen that a large part of Zhou Suhong's energy is paying attention to public affairs and public welfare undertakings, and in the latest Weibo, she is bringing goods for Aksu apples to help alleviate poverty. During the epidemic last year, she also tweeted: "Salute to the angels in white, and wish to defeat the epidemic as soon as possible and return safely!" ”
But apparently, Zhou Suhong's heart is not far from volleyball, august 8 last year was the 12th anniversary of the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, she retweeted Weibo, said: "How fortunate to participate in it, although there are regrets but no regrets." China, keep moving forward! ”
