Xu Genbao is particular about the people he chooses. First of all, they must have good conditions, and most importantly, they must have a family with aura.

Early Experience

Early Years Learn about volleyball

In 1999, eight-year-old Hui Ruoqi moved to Nanjing with her family due to her father's job transfer. In August of the same year, a chance encounter introduced Hui Ruoqi to volleyball. [27] In the third grade of elementary school, after she participated in the amateur training at Zhongshan East Road Sports School, she became a "transfer student" again. When she first joined the team, her "old" teammates could already throw two or three hundred balls with both hands, but she could only throw three or two. The training of the volleyball coach of the sports school was very strict, but Hui Ruoqi persisted despite the difficulties.

Middle school volleyball practice

After entering junior high school, Hui Ruoqi became more proactive in volleyball training and cultural studies. At the end of the month, she took over as the main attacker. Immediately afterwards, she aimed to become the captain, and within a year, she became the captain.

As Hui Ruoqi’s skills improved, she was often selected to participate in domestic and foreign competitions, sometimes for more than half a month at a time. Including the time taken up by usual training, the time she spent in cultural classes was only 50% of her classmates. However, Hui Ruoqi "refuses to admit defeat". She not only uses volleyball to prove that she is strong, but also uses her academic performance to prove that she is not weak. When she wanted to go out to study, she found teachers for several cultural courses in advance, brought relevant reference materials and homework, and studied by herself during her spare time. Because of this, she was able to jump from the last place in the class to the first place in the cultural class.

Selected into the provincial team

In 2006, she was selected into the first team of Jiangsu team with excellent results. At first, she was just a team loaner. However, coach Zhao Jincai boldly hired her. After a try, she was okay! Soon, she became the main player. Although she is 1.92 meters tall, she is still young and seems not strong enough. However, she has a good feel for the ball, her pitching movements are in place, she pays attention to technique, and she can often defeat her opponents. The head teacher, Li Shuying, is also a fan of hers. She commented: "Hui Ruoqi plays with her brain."

This girl with only 6 years of playing experience "reached the world in one step" and officially became a member of the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team. Hui Ruoqi, who was 1.89 meters tall, became the tallest player in the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team at the time. A month later, Hui Ruoqi took the main position and represented the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team in the National Women's Volleyball League last season. Although there are sometimes fluctuations in the game, her high-point offense is still the sharpest offensive method of the Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team.

Selected for the National Volleyball Team

With Hui Ruoqi’s outstanding performance in the league, the head coach of the Chinese women’s volleyball team Chen Zhonghe recruited Hui Ruoqi and let her work in the volleyball training center of the State Sports General Administration Training with Feng Kun, Zhao Ruirui, Yang Hao and others. In just 12 days of contact from December 11 to 22, 2006, this volleyball girl born in the 1990s won the recognition of Chen Zhonghe. In that temporary training camp, Hui Ruoqi performed very actively. She smashed the ball fiercely, saved the ball very hard, and frequently scored in group confrontations.

Chen Zhonghe is quite satisfied with her performance.

In June 2009, in the Italian Women's Volleyball Classic, the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team in the first match. Public opinion questioned the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the pressure on Cai Bin can be imagined. However, in the second game against the Polish team, he made a bold move - replacing all the main players except Wang Yimei. Hui Ruoqi and others also got the opportunity to start. Young people are not afraid of failure and must seize the opportunity when given the opportunity. Hui Ruoqi did not let herself down and finally defeated Poland 3-1. She scored a game-high 20 points, making her the MIP for the Chinese team to reverse Poland that night.

In 2010, she was injured and fell down on the field at the 2010 World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix.

In 2010, Wang Baoquan resigned after the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, and Yu Juemin took over as the head coach of the national team. Hui Ruoqi also returned from injury. After her comeback, she recovered well and performed well in international competitions. , Hui Ruoqi’s serve is pretty good. She mostly uses overhand floating and looking for someone to serve. For many of her serves, she pays attention to her opponent’s back row position and uses changes in the point of service to avoid the area where the free man receives the serve. Instead, she mainly hits the back. Withdraw the front row's main attack after receiving the pass, so that the serve can be used to disrupt its offensive rhythm and weaken the threat of the front row's strong attack. Hui Ruoqi performed outstandingly on the end block. The main offensive point of the European and American teams is reflected in the strong response to the attacks at positions 1 and 2. Hui Ruoqi faces them across the net. Facing the strong attacks from Europe and the United States, Hui Ruoqi is usually able to have correct predictions and accurate timing of taking off. As well as a reasonable blocking hand pattern, most of the time the opponent's adjusted attack at positions 1 and 2 is stuck under his fingers, and he has also effectively blocked the back-attack tactics of European and American players many times.

After her comeback in 2011, Hui Ruoqi can be said to be the backbone of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the core of the Chinese women's volleyball team's offensive and defensive transition. She was in good shape and quickly secured a main offensive position. In the 2011 World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the bronze medal and successfully advanced to the London Olympics.
