A few days ago, the Tianjin Municipal Sports Bureau released the news that Wei Qiuyue, former captain of the Chinese women's volleyball national team and Olympic champion, was appointed as the vice president of Tianjin Sports Vocational College, with a probationary period of one year and a five-year appointment period.
The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat id: capitalnews) noted that this is the second time Wei Qiuyue has taken up a new position this year. On January 15, the 14th Tianjin Congress of the Communist Youth League closed, and Wei Qiuyue was elected deputy secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League (part-time).

After being elected, Wei Qiuyue wrote on his Weibo: Gathering is a fire, scattered as a sky full of stars. The 14th Tianjin Congress of the Communist Youth League was successfully concluded, let us live up to Shaohua and write a chapter of youth in solid practice!
Prior to this, Wei Qiuyue was also elected as a deputy to the 19th National Congress of Tianjin Municipality. During the congress, she said at the "Party Representative Channel" that she hoped to continue to contribute to China's sports cause with the never-say-die sportsmanship, lead the party members and masses around her, and go to the new journey and realize the Chinese dream with the spirit of the women's volleyball team and the spirit of sportsmanship that never failed.
In August 2017, Wei Qiuyue announced her retirement, and since then she has still been very concerned about sports. For example, she once proposed national fitness, hoping that Tianjin can build more sports parks to improve everyone's happiness index with better conditions and fitness locations.
Wei Qiuyue is a "Jin meizi" who has a high popularity and influence in her hometown. Just last month, she also served as the image ambassador of Tianjin Disaster Prevention and Reduction as deputy secretary of the Youth League Municipal Committee.
In the same month, Wei Qiuyue underwent a left knee joint cleansing and cartilage regeneration surgery, and she laughed that this was "the third time in this baby's life to learn to walk."

As for the vice president of the school, a job that he has never done before, Wei Qiuyue said that this is a new position, a new challenge, "I still have to maintain the fighting spirit of the athlete period." Because the school was still in the summer vacation period, Wei Qiuyue did not report to the school at present, but continued to carry out rehabilitation training.
The governor of Chang'an Avenue (WeChat id: capitalnews) once introduced that Wei Qiuyue is not the first women's volleyball player to transform into "re-employment" after retiring. In December 2016, Wei Qiuyue served as the deputy secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League in Zhou Suhong, a senior member of the national team.
Since then, Zhou Suhong has been extremely busy, and her work content is not only closely related to sports, but also to grasp ideological work. At the fifth plenary session of the eighth session of the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Students last year, Zhou Suhong put forward requirements for the reform of the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Students in combination with the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In May this year, another Olympic champion and former member of the national diving team, Wu Minxia, was elected as the part-time deputy secretary of the Shanghai Youth League Municipal Committee. In August 2015, she became deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau.
Like Wei Qiuyue, Wu Minxia was also a representative of the 19th National Congress. She once said that participating in the 19th National Congress has put herself on another new springboard in her life and will work harder in the future.
In January this year, Wu Minxia's "Pre-Regiment Education Film" premiered in Shanghai. In the film, Wu Minxia stands by the pool, wearing the regimental emblem on her chest, and shares her feelings with the youth members of the regiment. After that, this film will be broadcast to all junior high school Young Pioneers in Shanghai, and at the same time reported to the Central Committee of the League for promotion throughout the country.
In addition, in July last year, the winter Olympic champion Shen Xue served as the deputy secretary of the Beijing Youth League Municipal Committee (part-time), and her main division of labor was to "be responsible for the preparation of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games".
On January 18 this year, the Chinese Figure Skating Association was officially established in Beijing, with Shen Xue as the first chairman. She said that her and the association's goal is simple, that is, she hopes that the Chinese figure skating team can stand on the highest podium and raise the five-star red flag.
In addition to working in the Communist Youth League system, there are also Olympic champions who enter local party and government organs through hanging up their posts. For example, in July 2017, kayak olympic champion Meng Guanliang temporarily left the post of director of the Zhejiang Provincial Water Sports Project Center and was sent to Jiande City for a two-year term as a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.
