The Chinese men's volleyball team has not won the world championship, but it has won the Asian championship.
In 1979, the Chinese men's volleyball team and the women's volleyball team, which had just formed a team for three years, defeated the Japanese team at the Asian Volleyball Championship. They both won the Asian championship and qualified for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
But it is a pity that due to political reasons, China did not participate in the Moscow Olympics at that time, which also caused the men's and women's volleyball teams to lose an opportunity to compete for the world championship.
Two years later, on March 20, 1981, the Chinese men's volleyball team faced the Korean men's volleyball team at the Victoria Stadium in Hong Kong. They defeated the Korean men's volleyball team with a score of 3:2 and advanced to the Volleyball World Cup. This time the Chinese men's volleyball team could finally stand on the world stage.
.
This was also the core reason why the students and the public were so excited and proud at that time.
On the night when the men's volleyball team won, YSU students held a grand parade to celebrate the victory, and at the same time shouted the slogan "Unite and revitalize China."
After being disseminated by the People's Daily, this slogan quickly spread across the country, arousing enthusiastic responses from the broad masses of the people, further boosting the people's pride in the men's volleyball team's advancement to the World Cup.
Today, the Chinese men's volleyball team was invited by Yan University to come to the school to communicate with students. The team members received a hero's welcome as soon as they entered the Yan University campus.
The members of the men's volleyball team took the initiative to shout the slogan "Unite and revitalize China". The students responded one after another, and the loud slogans resounded throughout Yanda.
Lin Chaoyang watched the excitement from a distance for a while. When he saw the men's volleyball team stopped in the triangle area surrounded by a crowd, he returned to the library.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Du Rong suddenly ran back.
"Chaoyang, follow me!"
"Why go?"
"The coaches and players of the men's volleyball team want to meet the comrades who shouted the slogan 'Unite and revitalize China'."
"He can see him if he wants to!"
Lin Chaoyang wanted to get Qiaoer, but Du Rong urged him to go to the triangle.
"You said you are also a scholar after all, why don't you know how to be reserved?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Du Rong rolled her eyes at him, "The principal asked me to ask you to go."
"Principal? Which principal?"
"Principal Zhang."
Hearing this name, Lin Chaoyang ran faster than a rabbit without Du Rong urging him.
"Hey, slow down and wait for me!" Du Rong shouted after him.
The exchanges between the men's volleyball team members and YSU students were not held in classrooms or auditoriums, but in the open space of the Triangle.
The men's volleyball team members stood in the middle, and the YSU students in the outer circle were sitting or standing around them.
At this time, Wang Jiawei of the men's volleyball team was sharing the fierce battles of the previous days with the students. Lin Chaoyang listened to his voice through the layers of heads.
"We have not played in international competitions for more than ten months, and have not played against the South Korean team in the past year and a half. Based on past results, we had wrong predictions and optimism about the game before the game.
We did not fully understand the personnel situation of the South Korean team and were not prepared for the difficulties of the game, which encouraged us to underestimate the enemy and be paralyzed, and to be relaxed and optimistic.
…”
Du Rong led him into the inner circle of the crowd and said to Zhang Longxiang, who was standing next to the men's volleyball team: "Principal Zhang, I called Chaoyang over."
Lin Chaoyang looked at Zhang Longxiang with a smile, "Principal Zhang, do you have something to do with me?"
Looking at the meaningful smile on Lin Chaoyang's face, Zhang Longxiang's expression was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had experienced battles and said calmly: "The athletes of the men's volleyball team want to meet you."
"Isn't this appropriate?" Lin Chaoyang pretended to be embarrassed, "I am a person who is being punished..."
Hearing his words, Zhang Longxiang's face suddenly turned green, but after all, he was still the old man, so he laughed haha.
"Anything that is punished or not punished is nothing. The slogan that night shouted out the patriotic enthusiasm of our YSU students and the spirit of the Chinese people. It is a great thing!"
After Zhang Longxiang said these words, he didn't give Lin Chaoyang a chance to speak and pulled him to the men's volleyball team.
"Coach Dai, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Lin Chaoyang, who was the first to shout the slogan 'Unite and revitalize China' on the night of March 20. Comrade Chaoyang is a rare young writer in our Chinese literary world!"
In front of the men's volleyball coach and athletes, Lin Chaoyang stopped being arrogant and shook hands with Dai Tingbin with a smile.
"Comrade Chaoyang, your slogan is so good! It shouts out the spirit of our Chinese volleyball team!"
Men's volleyball coach Dai Tingbin held Lin Chaoyang's hand and excitedly talked about what happened after the game.
At the end of the game, after the Chinese team won, they were first interviewed and then arranged to play a friendly match with the Xiangjiang team.
Two days later, just as they were preparing to leave Hong Kong, the leaders of Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang branch informed team leader Sun Zhian and head coach Dai Tingbin about the domestic response to their game.
The focus was on the spontaneous actions of YSU students that night after the March 20 competition. At that time, the People's Daily had just published a newsletter titled "Unite and Revitalize China!" and told them to be mentally prepared after returning to China.
But even though they were mentally prepared, these coaches and athletes were still shocked by the scene before them after flying back to Yanjing.
When they walked out of the airport passage holding the trophy, the airport was crowded with people. Among these people were not only enthusiastic fans who love volleyball, but also several leaders of the National Sports Commission, as well as major news media in the capital.
This crowded and warm and solemn scene made the men's volleyball coaches and athletes a little overwhelmed, and they accepted the warm welcome ceremony in a state of ignorance.
The leader of the Sports Committee delivered a passionate speech on the spot, affirming the performance of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the competition. The team members also accepted interviews from CCTV and other news media in the capital.
Flowers, honors, and applause came overwhelmingly in an instant, making everyone feel like they were in a dream.
In the blink of an eye, they have been back home for several days. In addition to congratulations on their victory and entering the World Cup, the most popular words in their ears were the slogan "Unite and revitalize China" on the night of March 20.
The popularity of the Chinese men's volleyball team in China cannot be separated from the support of this slogan that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, the coaches and athletes of the men's volleyball team were also very grateful to Lin Chaoyang and insisted on taking a photo with Lin Chaoyang.
After the photos were taken, the men's volleyball coaches and athletes continued to communicate with the students, and Lin Chaoyang was pulled out of the crowd by Zhang Longxiang.
"Chaoyang, what happened on March 20 was that the school was afraid of having some bad effects before and did not consider the fermentation of public opinion. Now it seems that your actions have a positive effect.
In this matter, it was my lack of consideration that made you feel wronged."
Du Rong called Lin Chaoyang over just now. He was planning to say some negative words, but he was blocked by Zhang Longxiang in front of the men's volleyball team.
At this moment, Zhang Longxiang suddenly apologized again, catching him off guard.
As the saying goes, you should never hit someone with a smiling face. With his statement like this, Lin Chaoyang really couldn't say anything. Moreover, the school's punishment had been silenced for a long time after the communication in the "People's Daily" came out.
"Principal Zhang, your school leaders cannot treat our faculty, staff and students differently!" Lin Chaoyang finally said unwillingly.
"There is no differential treatment. However, these college students are indeed the treasures of the school. You are also a faculty member. It is also your duty to care for these students, don't you think?"
As expected, he is so cunning that he even kidnaps himself to apologize, and I also have to help the students fight against thunder?
"That day in the office, my tone was a bit harsh. I would like to solemnly apologize to you here."
Zhang Longxiang's gesture was so complete that Lin Chaoyang couldn't say anything more, "Principal Zhang's words are serious, let the past be bygones."
While the two were talking, something happened to the crowd not far away. The students suddenly cheered, and then they saw athletes wearing team uniforms being thrown high by the students.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the two of them couldn't help showing a somewhat relaxed and joyful smile.
After the commotion, the students took out their prepared notebooks, student ID cards, textbooks and books for the athletes to sign for them as souvenirs.
After a while, two men's volleyball players wearing team uniforms suddenly ran out of the crowd. They each held a book in their hands and ran to Lin Chaoyang to ask for his autograph.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Lin Chaoyang was asked for an autograph, and he was a little flattered for a while.
His life has always been mainly between school and home. There are many readers of his at Yanda, but these people are self-conscious about their status, and no one has ever taken the initiative to ask for his autograph.
When he goes out, Lin Chaoyang mainly participates in activities and meets only his peers. Occasionally, he goes out to play or do business, but he keeps it secret, and no one knows that he is a famous writer all over the country.
After signing his name, Lin Chaoyang said hello to Zhang Longxiang and returned to the library.
When I walked to the front desk of the library, I saw a little man waiting there.
"Haisheng!" Lin Chaoyang shouted.
Zha Haisheng turned around and saw him, his face full of joy, "Brother Lin!"
"What are you so happy about?"
"My poem is about to be published, and I received a manuscript letter and fee slip from "Yenjing Literature"."
"What a good thing!"
Zha Haisheng's face was full of excitement. This was the first time in his life that his work was to be published and printed.
"Thanks for your recommendation. I just collected the royalties. I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
"No need. The poem can be published because you write it well. I just send you the manuscript." Lin Chaoyang said modestly.
"That's not possible. Let's go. It's already noon. I invite you! Go to the Changzheng Restaurant!"
Zha Haisheng pulled Lin Chaoyang. He was not tall but extremely enthusiastic, making it difficult for Lin Chaoyang to refuse.
When passing by the Triangle, the exchange between the men's volleyball team and the students was still going on. Lin Chaoyang asked: "Aren't you going to join in the fun?"
"It's nothing to join in the fun. Just be happy that day when you win the game. If you do this now, what will you do if you lose in the future?"
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said: "At such a young age, I can see quite clearly."
"It's not that I see everything clearly, but I don't pay much attention to sports. Since I was a child, all my classmates were older than me, and I am small, so I have no connection with sports." Zha Haisheng laughed at himself.
Lin Chaoyang joked: "If you are not tall enough, you have to be talented. For men, things like height and face are all external, but you still have to rely on the inside."
Zha Haisheng looked at Lin Chaoyang and felt that his words were particularly convincing.
That’s right, men have to rely on their inner self!
