The speech at the Asian Games is urgent.

Speaking of the spirit of women's volleyball, most people in China are familiar with it. The glory of "five consecutive championships" in 1980s, the exciting reversal of winning the title in Athens Olympic Games, and even the reappearance of "Athens moment" in the final of Guangzhou Asian Games half a month ago ... China women's volleyball team has brought us too many wonderful memories. However, many people may not know that another China women's volleyball team has also achieved great success in recent years: winning the Athens and Beijing Paralympic Games, making them the first team to successfully defend the collective event in the history of Chinese Paralympic Games, and winning the world championship further established their position in the world-this is the China women's sitting volleyball team. At the Asian Paralympic Games, China sitting women's volleyball team has won three consecutive victories, which is a veritable favourite to win the championship.

Lu: Different captains have the same fighting spirit.

The 30-year-old Lu is the captain of the China women's sitting volleyball team and a major member of the two-time Paralympic champion. Childhood polio, even difficult to walk, physical education class, grow up from training. Lying alone on the window sill of the classroom, looking at the students having fun on the playground, Xiaohong Qin cried many times. It is precisely because of this yearning for sports that when the Shanghai Changning District Disabled Persons' Federation recommended her to join the Shanghai women's sitting volleyball team, she agreed without hesitation and tried to convince her parents who were unwilling to give up their daughter's pain.

Sitting volleyball, as its name implies, is playing on the ground. Players use their hands to help their bodies move quickly when catching the ball, and only allow their hips to leave the ground temporarily when defending. After years of training, Lu and his teammates have worn thick cocoons on their hips, and it is common to wear out a pair of pants in three weeks. Winter in Shanghai is wet and cold. If you sit on the floor like ice for a long time, you will get wet and cold, and your back will ache. Sweat a lot in summer, the skin is airtight for a long time, and boils and rashes will grow on the buttocks. Sometimes the cocoons on your hands are too thick. In order to train their dexterity, Qin Hong and his teammates cut off the cocoon with scissors and practiced again. In the second training, the first joint of Qin Hong's left little finger was hit by a ball and turned 90 degrees. Her finger was numb with pain. She put up with the terrible pain and corrected herself. After only a week's rest, she resumed training. This extraordinary perseverance made his volleyball skills improve rapidly, and he quickly took the position of setter and was entrusted with the important task of captain.

As we all know, the captain of the women's volleyball team is a position that combines glory and burden, and it is with his self-deprecating hands that he provoked this heavy responsibility. Her idol is Feng Kun, a member of the "Golden Generation" of China Women's Volleyball Team, and she plays the same position as the captain. Following the footsteps of idols, Lu changed from a disabled girl who didn't know volleyball and was far away from sports to the captain of China women's sitting volleyball team. It is the spirit of China Women's Volleyball Team that has supported her for ten years. When they achieved the feat of defending their titles in the Paralympic Games, the outside world gave a high evaluation of "both women's volleyball teams are the same". "For us, this is the driving force for progress. We must show the spirit of self-improvement like the China women's volleyball team. " Now, Lu has spoken in a captain's manner.

The super-strong China women's sitting volleyball team is the favourite to win the Asian Para Games. In a match that ended last night, China beat the Iranian team 3-0, extending the winning streak of this round to three games. But rather than "winning the gold medal", they hope to show the elegance of China women's volleyball team at the Asian Paralympic Games.

Li Liping: the "Best Interrupter" of Chemical Plant

Like Lu, she is also an old member of China Women's Volleyball Team. Once a female worker in an ordinary chemical factory, 17 was involved in a car accident, resulting in high amputation of her right leg, thus losing her new job. After that, she walked around the employment agency in Xiaoshan with crutches and artificial limbs, and failed to find a suitable job. Just as she gradually fell into despair about life, someone suggested that she seek the help of the Disabled Persons' Federation. Li Liping dialed the telephone with the idea of giving it a try. The next day, the staff of the Disabled Persons' Federation visited her and recommended her to the Shanghai Disabled Volleyball Team. Since then, Li Liping has formed an indissoluble bond with volleyball.

"In fact, there was no choice at that time. I don't know what a choice is, but I was wrongly recruited into the team. I didn't know anything about volleyball before, because my hometown was in the countryside and there was no TV. I have no idea what volleyball looks like. " In this way, Li Liping, who didn't know volleyball, began his sitting volleyball career. On the first day of coming to the Shanghai team, I felt very warm: the chef in the canteen reserved dinner for her, the coach bought her all kinds of daily necessities, the old team member gave her the bed on the ground, and the team leader Lu brought her a change of clothes and kept talking to her. The warmth of the collective made Li Liping make up her mind, and she began to practice hard. At the Sitting Volleyball World Championships held in 2002, Li Liping, who participated in the world series for the first time, performed well and was named the best blocker, which is undoubtedly the best reward for her efforts.

Of course, the road to glory can't be so smooth. One month before the Athens Paralympic Games, Li Liping's lumbar spine was deformed and bent due to overtraining. The doctor advised her to stay in bed, but Li Liping insisted on closed training, and finally won the first gold medal for the motherland in the Paralympic Games. "After playing volleyball for more than ten years, I have fallen in love with this project and I am very happy to join this team. In a sense, volleyball has changed my life. " Li Liping also said that this group project gave her extra motivation: "China people have a good team spirit. As a collective, we must first unite, and the strength of the collective will be greater than that of the individual. "

Volleyball has transformed Lu from a little girl who can only cry silently on the windowsill into the captain of the women's queue in China; Volleyball has turned Li Liping from an unfortunate girl who ran into a wall when looking for a job into a cheerful girl who is full of confidence and can even joke with reporters easily. Although they can't jump or dunk on the court, their fighting spirit is no different from that of the old women's volleyball team. "Both women's volleyball teams are the same" is not just a slogan. Lu and their teammates are proving this with practical actions.
