Chen Zhaodi, General of Women's Volleyball Team: She won five consecutive championships for China. After her death, Lang Ping and Zheng came to offer their condolences.
The media reported this, and the negative news about Wang was overwhelming.
At this time, the director of the State Sports Bureau gave him a helping hand: the director personally refuted the rumor and took the initiative to communicate with Wang. Finally, with her help, Wang Shunli returned to the national team.
This person is-Chen Zhaodi.
Chen Zhaodi is the eldest sister of the family, and she should have been since she was born. With this name, it is obvious that parents are not satisfied that their first child is a girl, so they named her "Chen Zhaodi".
Sure enough, Zhao Di has many younger brothers and sisters. She goes to school during the day, takes care of her siblings at night, and helps her parents with housework and farm work.
Most girls around the same age are like this. They go to school and take care of their families. They are naive, laughing and joking. Chen Zhaodi, in particular, likes sports activities such as running and playing ball. Every time the school holds a sports meeting, she wins prizes, and stationery is mostly a prize.
These are her outstanding points, and it is these advantages that have changed her life.
1972 One day, Hangzhou Amateur Sports School came to Zhao Di Middle School, hoping to recruit a group of girls and train volleyball players.
Students in this age group are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are all looking for a way out for themselves: some people go to the health school in the city, some join the army as literary and art soldiers, some get married early, and live a life of caring for each other and educating their children ... Zhao Di's classmates almost followed her parents' advice or peers' footsteps, but she didn't join the army, go to a technical school or get married. Somehow she ...
Now, I have finally waited for this opportunity: to enter a sports school, train and be an athlete! Zhao Di hurried to sign up. The moment her name was called in the selection exam, her legs trembled with tension. When the coach served, she felt that the world was quiet and there was only a slow wind in her ear.
Her eyes only have that volleyball, that dazzling white volleyball. ...
Bang!
Nice counterattack!
This is almost an instinct engraved in DNA. As you can see, Chen Zhaodi has an amazing talent in volleyball. The volleyball in her hand seems as vivid as life. With excellent performance in the trials, Chen Zhaodi successfully entered Yuhang Amateur Sports School.
This 17-year-old girl's fate with volleyball was thus forged. In her next 4 1 year life, almost every event is closely related to volleyball.
Yuhang Amateur Sports School is the first batch of established sports schools that began to train national athletes after the founding of New China, and it is the cradle of talents for national team members. Many new sports stars and winning dark horses have been born here.
How lucky I am to study here! Chen Zhaodi can't help but think so. A few days before coming to school to report for duty, she just went to eat a wedding banquet hosted by her primary school classmate Wang. She is seventeen years old like herself, and she married someone in a hurry under the arrangement of her parents. Marry someone you don't like and someone you don't know.
At the wedding reception, the men drank and punched, and Wang and her mother wiped a handful of tears in the room. Leading her mother lovingly to look at her childlike daughter, her eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness. She knew that under such conditions, her daughter had no choice but to get married.
When Zhao Di and her mother saw it, they couldn't help feeling a little pain in their noses. Zhao Di peeked at her mother with her eyes. She knew that the matchmakers in several streets had long been eyeing herself, and she had been circling around her mother for three days to inquire about her marriage.
However, my mother never mentioned it in front of her daughter. Zhao Di was happier than her daughter when she received the notice from the sports school. Seeing the neighborhood, she announced her daughter's glorious deeds of entering the sports school as an athlete, hoping to let the whole world know her daughter's good deeds.
On this day, I sent her to report. Zhao Di couldn't help asking her mother: "Mom, many girls in the next village are married, and few of our neighbors are still at school ... Mom, are you afraid that I will embarrass you?" "
Hearing this, the Zhao Di mother immediately changed his face and said seriously:
"What a shame? Don't think so much, mom is not afraid! To enter school, you must train well; Remember, study hard with the teacher and win glory for our family! "
Chen Zhaodi stared at her old mother with red eyes. The middle-aged woman dedicated her life and endured it all her life. People who can't even decide who to marry or what the name of their eldest daughter is, finally won today-I hope my daughter will be successful and play well! Chen Zhaodi remembered her mother's words and turned and walked into the training ground.
When she first entered the sports school, Chen Zhaodi knew nothing. She only relies on her own instinctive reaction to play ball, does not know how to use the rules reasonably, and cooperates skillfully with her teammates. There are dozens of girls here, all striving to enter the national youth team of Beijing Institute of Physical Education.
It is the national sports talent training center. Only top athletes can enter the youth training team and represent China in the Asian Championships and the World Cup in the future! Until 1972, China women's volleyball team had not won a World Cup. No, let alone the World Cup, even the Asian Cup champion was unfortunately missed. ...
Of course, we know that all this was broken at 198 1, and Chen Zhaodi is the core figure. However, nine years ago, this little girl was still very green. She knows that many people around her are better than her, and some have practiced volleyball since childhood, but they have not been admitted to the youth training team.
Zhao Di felt great pressure. She knew that she was not as good as others and started later than her classmates. Children who come out of small families always have an indomitable spirit.
The next round of selection for the youth training team will be held at the end of the year. She made up her mind that she must advance by leaps and bounds in the past six months and be admitted to the national youth team! In the eyes of many old alumni who have not been admitted for several years, this is almost impossible.
However, Chen Zhaodi told them with actions that nothing is impossible, only unwilling! In order to make herself stronger, others practice for two hours, and she practices for four hours; Others go to dinner and movies in the evening. She has been practicing after dinner, and she won't leave until the security guards come to clear the room at night. ...
The next day, she will still walk in the morning dew and be the first to go to the training ground. While everyone else is having breakfast, she has started a new day's training.
With the training day after day, the tryouts of the youth training team finally came. Everything comes to him who waits, and she makes rapid progress. With extraordinary talent and diligence, she successfully became a member of the youth training team of women's volleyball team of Beijing Institute of Physical Education.
Coach, I want to practice for a while!
Yuan Weimin looked back at the tall, thin young girl, some secretly surprised in my heart. This girl named Chen Zhaodi has just been selected from Hangzhou Sports School. When they met for the first time, Yuan Weimin found that Chen Zhaodi was a typical "Hangzhou girl": thin, watery and with delicate eyes.
He also thinks that there is no comparability between the training of the National Youth Team and that of the sports school. When players come to the team, they can say that they are playing football all the time except eating, sleeping and washing clothes. There are many new players who can't stand it. They say it's volleyball, volleyball, volleyball that opens your eyes and closes your eyes. Even eating is like volleyball. ...
Therefore, he has some preconceived ideas that Chen Zhaodi, who is weak, will definitely not make it, and it is hard to say whether he can play that day. Unexpectedly, after the girl joined the team, she followed the team and lived a life of waking up every day. It was all training. It seems that everything is used to it, and she spends it like this every day.
Yuan Keneng didn't know that it was really through such hard practice that he got the place in the youth training team. Otherwise, she might be hanging out in the sports school now.
"Well, practice if you want."
It's ten o'clock at night, and the girls have been playing since six o'clock. All the players were exhausted, and the whole training suit was wet with sweat and clung to the body.
Except Chen Zhaodi, the girls didn't even have the strength to bring the ball back to the basket. She stood opposite coach Yuan Weimin, calmly posing as a receiver, and her eyes were firm and sharp.
"hey!"
With a sound of surprises, coach Yuan calmly threw a ball and waited for the jump. According to the rules of the team, the extra training program is "saving the ball".
The coach throws a ball, and you must catch it until you get the fifteenth ball. If something goes wrong in the middle, it will be judged negative. If you get a negative score, you have to save two more balls to make up for it, and it won't be over until you finish playing.
This goal is quite difficult for Chen Zhaodi, who has been training for four hours. When the coach asked the question "Who wants to train more", the whole process was silent and no one answered. However, she can actually feel that from the first meeting, coach Yuan was very pessimistic about herself.
For volleyball players who test their eyesight and reaction speed, the intuition of attracting women is also outstanding. She can even be extremely sure that coach Yuan looks down on her. His emotions and expressions are full of stereotypes and contempt for girls in Hangzhou.
It's just that Chen Zhaodi is an extremely strong person. Think of the contemptuous look he gave everyone when he asked questions. It seems that she stayed on herself for a second or two, and she was so angry that she didn't fight! Zhao Di is going to prove himself in front of him today: I can!
Seeing the volleyball flying like lightning, Zhao Di immediately got up and flew. Although the way coach Yuan throws the ball seems careless, the ball is actually very powerful. Zhao Di fell to the ground to catch the ball. But your opponent didn't care whether you fell to the ground or not, so Zhao Di got up at once and the next ball flew in front of her. ...
In this way, after catching nine balls without breathing, Zhao Di couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground, leaving the tenth ball beside him.
"negative one!" Yuan's voice resounded through the empty training ground. When Zhao Di heard this, everyone's temper was going to rise, so he left a sentence "I don't practice!" "Take the clothes out. Yuan is still throwing the ball, his mouth kept shouting "negative two, negative three, negative four! "
Zhao Di was stopped on the ground by volleyball and shouted angrily:
"I said, I don't practice!"
"Do you want to practice, you don't want to practice? No, you must finish practicing today! "
Zhao Di red eyes looked at him, for a long time, just make up your mind to:
"Good, practice!"
Finally, at the instigation of Yuan Weimin, Chen Zhaodi saved fifteen goals. This personal struggle experience will be written into an article "Hard Training" in the future, which will be selected as a middle school Chinese textbook to encourage students to make unremitting efforts. And this article "Hard Training" is also the most representative scene in Chen Zhaodi's volleyball struggle career.
It was "hard training" that made Zhao Di selected for the Bayi women's team two years later, representing China in the international arena.
Five years later, on 1979, China women's volleyball team, with Chen Jinfang, Zheng and Lang Ping as the main players, went to the Asian Championship in the first batch, defeated Japan and won the first Asian Cup women's volleyball championship. After winning this award, Bayi team did not dare to slack off and immediately began to prepare for the next World Cup. How proud it is to win the World Cup and break the long-term monopoly of women's volleyball by Brazil!
So, after two years of training, 198 1 year, the 1st generation Bayi volleyball team participated in the fierce competition of the World Cup. After three rounds of elimination, the final between China women's volleyball team and Brazil finally came.
In this most crucial competition, it happened that Zhao Di had a physical problem: the bone of her lumbar spine fell off from an old injury because of overtraining. Because of the urgency of the competition, she had not had time to properly treat it, and now her old illness has recurred.
Women line up in China. At that time, the personnel were not strong enough and there were no substitutes to play. If Zhao Di gives up the competition because of a waist injury, all previous efforts will be wasted ... Anyone can guess her choice: this "desperate Saburo" will never give up!
Chen Zhaodi, 26, overcame a waist injury and returned to the court. Tears of pain swirled in her eyes until she made a beautiful backhand! The game is over, and China wins!
The girls of the women's volleyball team embraced excitedly, but Zhao Di couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down. When awarding the prize, it was Chen Jinfang who carried her on her back and personally let her hold the trophy. Lang Ping said to her, "You should take this trophy!"
In the next five years, Bayi Women's Football Team started its heyday, and China Women's Volleyball Team created the miracle of five consecutive World Cup titles, which has been regarded as an immortal myth in sports by the world until today.
During the five consecutive championships, Chen Zhaodi won the game with one hand hanging on the court because of his left hand injury, and won the reputation of "one-armed general".
In 2006, the State General Administration of Sport and state leaders unanimously agreed to award Comrade Chen Zhaodi the Young General Medal. For Chen Zhaodi, this is a summary of her life's contribution and honor. It is also a great honor in sports.
Regrettably, such a beautiful scene did not last long. In 20 13, Chen Zhaodi, who underwent rectal cancer surgery, could no longer resist the ravages of the disease and passed away forever.
Chen Zhaodi persisted and struggled all his life. She won the world championship, became a ministerial director and won the only rank of major general, but these honors did not stop cancer from raging in her body and eventually took her life. ...
The year Chen Zhaodi left, he was only 58 years old. Unfortunately, Lang Ping, Zheng and other peers are still active in the front line of women's volleyball. On April 65438, 2065438, Chen Zhaodi came to the end of his life accompanied by his daughter Chen Guo.
Later, at the funeral, Lang Ping, Zheng, Wang and other Bayi veterans came to offer their condolences. The State Sports General Administration, which once promised to provide for the aged in Chen Zhaodi, published an article in memory of Zhao Di, which said:
Chen Zhaodi traded her health and even her life for the prosperity of China women's volleyball team. Her untimely death is the biggest loss in the history of volleyball in the world.
