CCTV's "News Network" recently talked about the spirit of the women's volleyball team of the spiritual genealogy of the Chinese communists in the special topic of "Striving for a Hundred Years of Road and Starting a New Journey", and also broadcast the feature film "Carry Forward the Spirit of the Women's Volleyball Team, Fight for the Country and Never Say Defeat.".
"As an important part of the spiritual genealogy of the Chinese Communists, the spirit of the women's volleyball team is the concentrated embodiment of the Chinese sports spirit, and the love of the broad masses of the people for the Chinese women's volleyball team is not only because they won the championship, but more importantly, on the field they showed the spiritual outlook of the motherland first, unity and cooperation, tenacious struggle, and never say defeat, and shouted out the strongest voice of the era of fighting for the rise of China."
The opening chapter recalls the glorious history of the "five consecutive championships" period of the Chinese women's volleyball team: "On November 16, 1981, at the 3rd Women's Volleyball World Cup held in Japan, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Japanese team 3:2 to win the championship, which was the first world champion in China's "three balls" project. With the original intention and mission of winning glory for the country, the women's volleyball girl created the first "five consecutive championships" in the history of world volleyball from 1981 to 1986, and since then, the spirit of women's volleyball has become a spiritual symbol of the times. ”
"At the Zhangzhou Sports Training Base in Fujian Province, a model of the bamboo shed hall of the early training of the Chinese women's volleyball team is displayed. Starting from such a bamboo shed, the old women's volleyball team members formed a strong team of unity and cooperation, and played the tenacious struggle to the fullest, so that they had the glory of "five consecutive championships". ”
Referring to the hard work of the old women's volleyball team, Wei Buqiang, an old cadre of the Zhangzhou Sports Training Base, recalled: "There was an athlete (called) Cao Shufang (at that time) who trained so that both legs were numb. The sticky sand went in, and more than a hundred pieces of sand were taken out at once, and the doctor was moved to tears. ”
Professor Yu Wenli, director of the Party's Theoretical Innovation Research Center of Peking University, commented: "The women's volleyball team members put the two words of China in their hearts, which is the supremacy of the motherland, which is to find a constant lamp in the heart, and this lamp illuminates the women's volleyball team members to continue to forge ahead." ”
Since Zhang Rongfang led the team to win the 1986 World Championship, the Chinese women's volleyball team has not won the world championship, and the Chinese women's volleyball team at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games has stopped in the top eight. Chen Zhonghe became the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team in 2001, and he once revealed a data in an interview: "When I led the team to have 56 hours of training time a week, there were 7 days a week, so on average, it was 8 hours of training per day, which was also the training time of the old women's volleyball team in the past." ”
Chen Zhonghe has always asked the players to "eat this suffering that others can't eat" in training and competition. It is under the guidance of this spirit of hardship that the Chinese women's volleyball team has once again created a golden age. From a certain point of view, the spirit of the women's volleyball team passed down from generation to generation is the sports culture that our country has been pursuing. In the youth of generations of women's volleyball players, the spirit of the women's volleyball team they have refined has always touched generations of people.
Time flies, and the years fly by. It has been more than thirty years since the first golden age of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the past 30 years, China has just started from reform and opening up to become the world's second largest economy, and the Chinese women's volleyball team has also moved from another golden age to the next golden age.
After losing to the Japanese team at the London Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team experienced a short trough, Lang Ping guided the re-emergence of the jianghu and brought the concept of "big national team", it took just over 2 years to return to the top of the world at the 2015 World Cup. Since the women's volleyball team regained the World Cup championship in 2015, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which has experienced the replacement of new and old, has achieved stable results in various competitions and successfully won the championship at the Rio Olympic Games a year later. The "women's volleyball spirit" carried by the Chinese women's volleyball team that never gives up and bravely climbs the peak has once again become the best endorsement of the national spirit and the spirit of the times.
"After five consecutive championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team has gone through several ups and downs, rising up again and again in the trough. It is inspired by this never-say-die spirit that the Chinese women's volleyball team has grown from "five consecutive championships" to "ten champions". At this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team failed to advance to the quarterfinals, and the new generation of women's volleyball girls has to face a new test. The spirit of the women's volleyball team that has been tempered several times has never only been the glory of standing on the peak, but also the courage to catch up in adversity. The passing on of the spirit of the women's volleyball team has long become a powerful spiritual driving force for accelerating the construction of China's sports power. ”
For the spirit of the contemporary Chinese women's volleyball team, Professor Li Hongxia, deputy dean of the School of Marxism of Beijing Sport University, commented: "The times are developing, history is advancing, but the original intention of the women's volleyball team to put the motherland first and win glory for the country will not change, the style of unity and cooperation and tenacious struggle will not be lost, and the spirit of never giving up and bravely climbing the peak is in the same vein, lasting, and constantly enriching new connotations in the new era." ”
