In 1995, Jiangsu Women's Volleyball Team went all the way to the 8th World Youth Championship, and finally defeated the Brazilian team with a big score of 3:0 and became the final winner.
After Zhang Jinwen, the main player, won the game, he immediately turned around and hugged his teammates to celebrate.
At this time, Zhang Jinwen did not know that his outstanding performance in the competition field had attracted the attention of Lang Ping, nor did he know that he would experience a cliff-like life in the future.
After the World Youth Championship, Zhang Jinwen was recruited into the national team and became Lang Ping's most valued pupil.
At that time, Lang Ping made no secret of his favor for Zhang Jinwen. He would praise everyone he met, "Zhang Jinwen is a good talent who is born to play volleyball. She will definitely have a place in the world volleyball world in the future."
In fact, if it were not for the "shower incident", Zhang Jinwen might really become the most dazzling star in the volleyball world as Lang Ping said.
In 2004, Zhang Jinwen was expelled from the national team. Lang Ping publicly stated: As long as I am in the women's volleyball team, , Zhang Jinwen will never be hired.
From a much-anticipated genius to a “clown” who will never be hired, what has happened behind Zhang Jinwen’s ups and downs? Why is Lang Ping so "unfeeling"?

In 1976, Zhang Jinwen was born in an intellectual family in Jiangsu.
Although the family is full of books and his parents attach great importance to education, Zhang Jinwen was still not interested in studying when he was a child.
Most of the time, Zhang Jinwen couldn't take any time off and would often jump up and down with the boy from his neighbor's house.
Perhaps it is because lively and active children develop faster. Zhang Jinwen has been much taller than his peers since he was a child, and his athletic ability is also much higher than other children.
In order to consume Zhang Jinwen's excess energy, and with the advice of the physical education teacher, his parents asked Zhang Jinwen to transfer to a sports school.
Just in the 1980s, the Chinese women's volleyball team had repeatedly performed well in the world, and there was a strong atmosphere for learning volleyball across the country.
From this, Zhang Jinwen naturally formed an indissoluble bond with volleyball.
In the boring training day after day, Zhang Jinwen's strength has been greatly improved, and he has become more and more fond of the competitive sport of volleyball.
Later, the provincial team coach came to the sports school to select talents. Zhang Jinwen, who had a height advantage and amazing jumping ability, was spotted by the coach at a glance. After
entered the provincial team, Zhang Jinwen did not slack off in training at all. With his strong physical fitness and volleyball talent, Zhang Jinwen quickly broke through and became the main player of the team.
The provincial team coach has commented on Zhang Jinwen more than once as a "volleyball genius."
When Zhang Jinwen was in the provincial team, he really lived up to expectations and helped the team win medals one after another.
After the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, as the previous generation of veteran players retired one after another, the Chinese women's volleyball team fell into a trough.
For two consecutive years, the Chinese women's volleyball team has failed in major competitions. At its worst, it fell to the top eight.
When the women's volleyball team was in a bleak situation, Lang Ping, who was coaching in the United States at the time, was invited by Yuan Weimin . He resolutely gave up his high-paying life and took charge in the face of danger, vowing to bring the women's volleyball team back to the top of the world.
After returning to China, Lang Ping saw that this "defeated army" lacked any vitality and enthusiasm in his eyes, and realized that a "major change of blood" was needed to introduce more outstanding talents.
So Lang Ping traveled to major volleyball arenas, constantly looking for malleable talents.
At this moment, Lang Ping discovered the strong and passionate Zhang Jinwen at the World Youth Championship.
"Zhang Jinwen's fierceness can ignite the whole team. The first time I watched her play, I could see that she really loves volleyball and indeed has great potential in this area."
Zhang Jinwen was ecstatic about Lang Ping's attention, and he did not dare to relax at all after entering the national team.
In the impression of Zhang Jinwen’s teammates: “When she first joined the team, Zhang Jinwen was like a robot that never gets tired. She was either training or on the way to the training ground every day.”
“Her physical strength is better than that of us. She was the only one who had no time to spare, and she was still practicing. I asked her to take a break and drink water, but she didn't listen. She waved her hands every time and said it was okay and she was not tired. "
Zhang Jinwen's hard work and unyielding determination greatly admired her teammates. Many people were influenced by her and continued to practice more without giving up, vowing to restore the glory of the women's volleyball team.
Under the leadership of Zhang Jinwen, the women's volleyball team is thriving.
But at the same time, the coach's attention and the praise of his teammates also made Zhang Jinwen gradually unable to hear his inner voice, and his mentality also changed unconsciously.

At the start of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, people thought they could see the heroic appearance of this volleyball genius, but they did not expect to see Zhang Jinwen from the beginning to the end.
Some people say that there was a conflict between Zhang Jinwen and Lang Ping.
But in fact, Zhang Jinwen had only been in the team for a year at this time, his talent had not yet been fully converted into strength, and he had not had enough experience with other players, so how could he possibly play.
Zhang Jinwen was very disappointed when he was not selected for the Olympic Games. At the same time, he was increasingly eager to play and receive applause and praise from others.
Zhang Jinwen expressed her determination to participate in the competition to Lang Ping more than once. Most of the time, Lang Ping would tell her: "Wait a little longer, you are not ready yet."
This made Zhang Jinwen feel impatient, thinking only about playing games, and no longer training steadily.
Lang Ping talked to Zhang Jinwen many times, explaining the principle of accumulation and gain, so that the latter could restrain his temper.
Every time, Zhang Jinwen admitted his mistake on the surface, but he didn't care about it in his heart.
At this time, Lang Ping also noticed something wrong with Zhang Jinwen's mentality.
But on the one hand, it was out of love for talent, and I was afraid that my criticism would be too harsh, which would make Zhang Jinwen unable to recover. On the other hand, I also felt that Zhang Jinwen was still young and would be able to realize his mistakes as long as he was patiently guided.
However, Lang Ping never dreamed that his temporary indulgence would lead to catastrophe in the future.
After Zhang Jinwen achieved good results on the field as the main force, she began to become a little presumptuous and refused to accept anyone except Lang Ping.
At the same time, Zhang Jinwen was also pretentious, thinking that the women's volleyball team relied on her to carry the weight.
This arrogant mentality also caused friction between Zhang Jinwen and other team members, but Zhang Jinwen was deeply loved by Lang Ping. His arms could not twist his thighs, and the team members could only swallow their breath.
The tolerance of his teammates made Zhang Jinwen even more "arrogant and proud", and he began to leave early and arrive late in daily training.
As the coach, Lang Ping is always paying attention to every move of the team, and he is naturally aware of the conflicts among the players and the lack of close cooperation on the field.
She realized that continuing to let Zhang Jinwen go might lead to the team falling apart, so she got angry at her for a rare occasion.
"Volleyball is a team sport. You have to learn to cooperate, learn to deal with your own life, and live in harmony with your teammates."
Lang Ping's earnest words finally served some purpose, and Zhang Jinwen did restrain himself for a while.
But as the 20th century entered, Lang Ping resigned from the women's volleyball team and changed coaches many times, and Zhang Jinwen's suppressed problems also returned.
Horsepower can be seen from a distance, and people's hearts can be seen from time to time.
In 2004, Zhang Jinwen paid the price for his "arrogance".
After a certain training session, Zhang Jinwen and his team members went to the bathhouse to take a bath as usual.
Everything went as usual at first. Halfway through washing, Zhang Jinwen suddenly went out to get something. When he came back, he found that the original place had been occupied by an aunt.
Zhang Jinwen stepped forward to argue and told the aunt: "This is for private use within the team and is not open to the outside world."
Auntie didn't take it seriously and casually said "right away" without any intention of getting out of the way.
In fact, this is just a trivial matter. As long as Zhang Jinwen changes to a showerhead , there will be no follow-up Problems occurred.
But maybe it was because of the habit of being overbearing for a long time, or because the looks from the teammates on the side were embarrassing, Zhang Jinwen chose the most irrational way to deal with it.
She stepped forward to argue with her aunt, and wanted to pull her away. And this aunt is also a fierce person, looking at Zhang Jinwen's nearly two-meter-tall height. Jin was not afraid at all and quarreled with Zhang Jinwen while swearing.
The subsequent team members rushed to persuade Zhang Jinwen to pay attention to his image and shut up quickly.
During a normal quarrel, it is easy for a group of people to persuade the same person to irritate the person, let alone Zhang Jinwen who is very angry.
Maybe it was just an ordinary quarrel at first, but as teammates joined in, emotions broke out and the quarrel escalated, with the two people pushing each other back and forth.
In the end, this dispute ended with the aunt being sent to the hospital for fracture. Tail.
The day after the incident, the news that Zhang Jinwen "beat" the aunt and caused her fracture was widely reported by the media. Overnight, Zhang Jinwen became notorious.
Zhang Jinwen also realized his mistake and deeply regretted it, but at this point, no matter how much he said, there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
The spirit of women's volleyball team has long become a social symbol. As the women's volleyball players who carry this spirit, they represent the country in every word and deed.
Jinwen failed to convey any positive energy to society in this "shower incident", which directly disgraced the entire women's volleyball team and caused extremely bad effects.
Zhang Jinwen was eventually expelled, and Lang Ping did not protect his disciple after learning about it.
What Zhang Jinwen did in the early years had already worn out her patience. This incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
In an interview, Lang Ping was very emotional: "Athletes can have no results, but a person cannot have no virtue! From now on, as long as I am still in the women's volleyball team, I will never hire Zhang Jinwen! "
Zhang Jinwen's promising future in volleyball was ruined, and she has faded out of people's sight.
After being fired, Zhang Jinwen ran into obstacles everywhere. Any workplace that heard her name would shirk her employment with various reasons.
Most of her former relatives and friends have lost contact for a long time. Even if they meet occasionally, they are like hiding from the plague.
After experiencing the ups and downs of human relationships, the once "arrogant and domineering" Zhang Jinwen learned to reflect.
As he grew older, Zhang Jinwen regretted the mistakes he had made: "I'm sorry for the country. I regret that I failed to live up to the expectations of Director Lang for my cultivation..."
Fortunately, Zhang Jinwen did not let go of decadence. In 2006, her identity changed.
Nanjing Institute of Information Engineering threw an olive branch to Zhang Jinwen and invited her to become a volleyball professor.
After becoming a coach, Zhang Jinwen rediscovered the value of her life.
She looked at the team members working together to defeat strong enemies one after another, and suddenly recalled her experience with the national team.
"Did coach Lang Ping look at me like this at that time? "
After Zhang Jinwen led the team to win three consecutive championships in the national competition, she once again realized the importance of collective honor.
When the media asked her about her contribution to the team, Zhang Jinwen smiled lightly and said: "I have done very few things, and the honor belongs to the team. ”
Although Zhang Jinwen cannot compete in the world competition in person to win glory for her country, she has changed her ways and continues to contribute to the Chinese volleyball world.
