If you don't do well, you have to go back and take over the family inheritance!
This sentence ridicules the rich children in the entertainment industry and the sports circle, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the sports circle. Today, let's get to know the four "rich second generation" players of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
One: Wei Qiuyue
Wei Qiuyue was born on September 26, 1988 in a middle-class family in Tianjin.
Wei Qiuyue's father is Wei Wei and her mother is Duan Huiqin, both of whom love sports. They grew up in an era when the Chinese women's volleyball team won the "World Series" championship five times in a row, so Wei Qiuyue's parents also have a soft spot for volleyball.
Wei Qiuyue's parents were engaged in the construction and decoration industry in Tianjin, and they were famous decoration giants with rich wealth.
Wei Qiuyue's family was superior when she was a child, so she didn't have to think about anything other than Xi, and even her parents were not particularly strict with her studies.
The only thing the family was puzzled by was that Wei Qiuyue's height had grown so fast, and she was only 5 years old when she was taller than girls of the same age.
For this problem, the family took Wei Qiuyue to the hospital for a check-up, and the results showed that her development was very healthy. So Wei Qiuyue's parents came up with the idea of letting their daughter do physical exercise.
Wei Qiuyue's parents sent her to the volleyball preparatory class of Tianjin Sports School, she was the youngest in the class at the time, but she was never lazy and performed well.
Wei Qiuyue reached school age in 1995, and she began to study while receiving the initiation of volleyball. Gradually, she showed a talent for volleyball.
When Wei Qiuyue first started practicing Xi volleyball, she was trained in the main and secondary offensive positions, but as the practice Xi deepened, the coach decided to let her play the setter position, because the coach thought that this position was very suitable for her.
Wei Qiuyue is more suitable for the setter position, because attackers usually need to be extroverted and even spicy, while she is relatively introverted and likes to think.
In 1999, 11-year-old Wei Qiuyue was selected for the volleyball training class of Tianjin Junior Sports School. Prior to this, she had only received some semi-professional training, but after entering the Tianjin Junior Sports School, she began to receive formal professional training.
After 4 years of training at Tianjin Junior Sports School, 15-year-old Wei Qiuyue was successfully selected for the Chinese women's volleyball national junior team, and also joined the Tianjin women's volleyball team in the same year.
The year Wei Qiuyue joined the Tianjin women's volleyball team, which coincided with the first time in the history Xi of the Tianjin women's volleyball team to win the women's volleyball league championship.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this situation that Wei Qiuyue's progress was very rapid. In 2004, before the age of 16, she joined the national youth team and became the youngest reserve talent for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games announced by the Volleyball Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China.
In February 2006, Wei Qiuyue initially joined the national team as a temporary secondee, and then the main setter of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Feng Kun, went to the United States due to injury**, Wei Qiuyue became an official member of the national team on an emergency basis, and gradually grew into the main setter.
However, due to Feng Kun's outstanding strength, coaches and fans have great trust in him. Therefore, Feng Kun, who was the best player in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, still served as the main setter, and the young player Wei Qiuyue also went to the Beijing Olympics with the team and finally won the third place.
Due to age and injury problems, Feng Kun gradually withdrew from the substitute position of the national team after the Rio Olympics, and Wei Qiuyue replaced her as the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and also became the main setter of the national team.
However, due to the large-scale restructuring of the Chinese women's volleyball team after the Beijing Olympics, and even changed two coaches within three years before the London Olympics, this also led to the unsatisfactory performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team throughout the London Olympic cycle.
Despite being the captain, the performance of the women's volleyball team was not ideal, and Wei Qiuyue failed to get much attention because of this. After the London Olympics, through the efforts of relevant leaders, Lang Ping, the meritorious hero of the Chinese women's volleyball team, retook the command of the women's volleyball team.
However, due to Wei Qiuyue's serious knee injury at the time, she has not appeared in the list of three consecutive national team training camps since Lang Ping became head coach.
The national team coaching staff wanted Wei Qiuyue to undergo surgery as soon as possible, while Wei Qiuyue tended to be conservative** and even went abroad to participate in competitions at one point.
The coaching staff led by Lang Ping is very much looking forward to Wei Qiuyue's surgery, and Wei Qiuyue herself is more conservative, and even played abroad for a while.
Wei Qiuyue later went to the United States for surgery with the help of Lang Ping, and then officially returned to the national team at the 2015 World Cup, and later won the championship with the national team at the Rio Olympics.
Wei Qiuyue announced her retirement after the Rio Olympics, and then entered the palace of marriage with Yuan Lingxi, assistant coach of the women's volleyball national team, and the two ushered in the crystallization of their love in 2020.
Wei Qiuyue is now working in the ** department, and she uses her influence to continue to contribute to the cause of women's volleyball in various fields.
Two: Zeng Chunlei
Zeng Chunlei was born in Beijing in 1989 in a relatively wealthy family.
When she was a child, Zeng Chunlei's parents were busy with work, so her grandparents and aunts basically took care of her and her brother to grow up.
Although Zeng's parents were in business, they also had a soft spot for sports when they were young. Therefore, Zeng Chunlei inherited her parents' excellent sports genes when she was a child.
In 1998, the Chinese women's volleyball team participated in the 13th World Women's Volleyball Championship under the leadership of head coach Lang Ping, and they successfully entered the finals, but lost to the powerful Cuban women's volleyball team.
Zeng Chunlei was only 9 years old at the time, and she sat quietly in front of the TV to watch the game. She was attracted by the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team to overcome difficulties, but her favorite athlete was the left-handed receiver of the Dutch women's volleyball team.
In the same year, the women's volleyball coach of Beijing Dongcheng District Sports School took a fancy to Zeng Chunlei, because her height was significantly higher than her peers, so she was invited to practice Xi volleyball at the sports school.
This invitation filled Zeng Chunlei's heart with yearning, but her mother resolutely opposed it. The reason why my mother did this was because she was worried that it would affect Zeng Chunlei's studies. In order to continue practicing Xi volleyball, Zeng Chunlei assured her mother that her academic Xi performance would not be affected.
Although Zeng Chunlei was happy to be able to practice Xi volleyball, she realized in the process that she had been in a state of catching up with others.
Her height was originally relatively tall among ordinary children, but among children who played volleyball, Zeng Chunlei was relatively short.
Zeng Chunlei was 9 years old when she practiced Xi volleyball, several years later than other children, which is also a reason. But she has been competitive since she was a child and is unwilling to fall behind others.
With the spirit of not admitting defeat, Zeng Chunlei gradually won the recognition of many teammates and coaches, and finally successfully entered the Beijing Sports School.
In 2002, during the volleyball match of the 11th Beijing Games, other teams realized that they needed to pay special attention to Shijingshan's No. 11 "left-hander", but her teammates and coaches still trusted Zeng Chunlei and chose to give her many key balls.
Zeng Chunlei did an excellent job of shouldering this responsibility and eventually helped the Shijingshan team win the championship of the 11th Beijing Games.
Many coaches and leaders have a deep understanding of Zeng Chunlei because of this competition, so she soon joined the Beijing team.
At the age of 13, Zeng joined the Beijing team, and two years later she was selected for the national junior team, which coincided with the Athens Olympics.
When Zeng Chunlei was 15 years old, she once sat in front of the TV and watched the Chinese women's volleyball team compete in the Athens Olympics, especially the shocking reversal performance in the final, which made her excited.
She made up her mind that she would definitely compete in the Olympics in the future, but when she was 17 years old, Zeng Chunlei suffered a serious injury.
Zeng Chunlei had already considered retiring to study abroad, but her father's words changed her mind: "It's not easy to walk as an athlete, and you will retire before your dream is realized?"There are many opportunities to go to school. ”
Zeng missed the Beijing Olympics due to injury, but she chose to hold on and wait until 2009, when the national team regrouped again, and finally made her first national team at the age of 20.
Zeng Chunlei participated in the London Olympics with the team, but the Chinese women's volleyball team fell into chaos in the game and only finished fifth, which made Zeng Chunlei unable to achieve good results as expected.
Zeng Chunlei was already skilled at this time and became the top receiver of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Even after Lang Ping took over the Chinese women's volleyball team, Zeng Chunlei was still the main player of the national team.
On the eve of the 2015 World Cup, the captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Hui Ruoqi, was unable to participate due to injury, and Zeng Chunlei temporarily took over the position of captain of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
However, before the Rio Olympics, Zeng Chunlei was unable to participate in the Rio Olympics with the team due to frequent injuries, while the Chinese women's volleyball team once again won the "miraculous" championship in the Olympic Games.
Zeng Chunlei later recovered and became a national team substitute from 2017, but soon suffered from the epidemic and was unable to participate in the Tokyo Olympics, and finally chose to marry after retiring from the army, marrying a wealthy family.
At that time, many people commented that Zeng Chunlei was married to a rich man. As a result, many people familiar with the matter broke the news that Zeng Chunlei's family is actually very wealthy, her parents have been engaged in business activities for many years, own a three-story villa in Beijing, and she herself drives a luxury car worth seven figures.
Zeng Chunlei ushered in the birth of her child at the end of 2021, and now at the age of 33, she is studying in business school, and is expected to take over her parents' industry in the future and work together with her husband in the business world.
Three: Hui Ruoqi
On March 4, 1991, Hui Ruoqi was born in Dalian, Liaoning Province, and her father, Hui Fei, was a national civil servant.
Hui Ruoqi lived in Dalian, Liaoning Province until she was 8 years old. Until 1999, Hui Ruoqi's father came to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province due to job transfer.
Subsequently, Mr. Hui Fei held senior positions in a listed telecommunications company, and also served as the president of the Nanjing Equestrian Association, the Golf Association and the Volleyball Association.
Hui Ruoqi has grown rapidly since she was a child because of her father Hui Fei's height, and her height is even half a head taller than her peers.
Hui Fei is a graduate student in the 90s, he loves sports, served as the captain of the school's volleyball team in college, and has a great love for sports.
When Hui Ruoqi's family arrived in Nanjing, she immediately enrolled in a local primary school. Teachers and classmates quickly noticed her unique height.
During the sports screening, Hui Ruoqi was assigned by the teacher to learn Xi volleyball, and after learning about this, Hui Fei fully supported her daughter to become a professional volleyball player.
Subsequently, Hui Ruoqi participated in the volleyball training class held by Nanjing 29 Middle School and received intensive training. Because of her obvious height advantage, the volleyball coach of Zhongshan East Road Amateur Sports School attaches great importance to her.
I have to go to school at 7 o'clock in the morning, I have to go to the sports school to train at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and I have to complete the homework assigned by the teacher after I get home at 8 o'clock, and I basically go to bed at 11 or 2 o'clock. After entering the amateur sports school, the training is also very hard.
She was very adaptable, gradually promoted from a substitute to a main player, and was elected captain of the team because of her excellent performance in cultural classes.
In 2006, Hui Ruoqi represented Nanjing in the 16th Jiangsu Provincial Games and won two championships in indoor volleyball and beach volleyball.
In that year, Hui Ruoqi was successfully selected for the Jiangsu women's volleyball team and helped the team achieve the best results in the women's volleyball league in 7 years.
Hui Ruoqi may be so good that she was called into the national team by Chen Zhonghe, then the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, at the age of 16 in 2007.
Therefore, Hui Ruoqi became the youngest national player in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but at that time, many people were discussing whether she entered the national team through abnormal channels.
The timing of her entry into the national team is also crucial, as it is on the eve of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which means that Hui Ruoqi is expected to participate in this event.
However, this is only a possibility. In fact, in Chen Zhonghe's consideration, Hui Ruoqi was not included in the list of people participating in the Beijing Olympics. He just hopes that Hui Ruoqi can feel the atmosphere of preparing for the Olympics in advance, because in his mind, the London 2012 Olympics is Hui Ruoqi's home stadium.
Although Hui Ruoqi didn't know what the coach thought, she used to feel sad because of this, until after the Beijing Olympics, many veteran players retired one after another, and at this time she became the absolute main player of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
At this time, the Chinese women's volleyball team lacks hope in both the coach and some players. Wei Qiuyue, Zeng Chunlei, Hui Ruoqi and other players are still good, and then Lang Ping took over the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The strength of Xue Ming, Wang Yimei and other players is not inferior to the above-mentioned ones, but the London Olympics have passed, and they have missed their peak period, and finally failed to enter the national team led by Lang Ping.
In 2013, after Lang Ping took over as the head coach of the women's volleyball team, she selected Hui Ruoqi as the captain of the new women's volleyball national team, although the core figure of the team was Zhu Ting, who was three years younger than Hui Ruoqi.
Hui Ruoqi was not convinced at first, because in her opinion, she had been working hard in the national team for several years, and she was not very old, and she was at her peak.
Zhu Ting had just joined the national team and was only 13 years old when she started practicing Xi volleyball, and she was far inferior to her opponents in terms of fame and family background.
However, Lang Ping has great trust in Zhu Ting, and in the next game, Zhu Ting gradually showed her strong control in the game, even if Hui Ruoqi was no longer convinced, she could only obey the coach's arrangement.
Hui Ruoqi's injury is getting worse, especially in the run-up to the Rio Olympics, where she missed many competitions. At the time, it was widely believed that she would not be able to participate in the Rio Olympics, but Lang Ping eventually decided to include her in the Rio Olympics list.
The Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship in a thrilling way at the Rio Olympics, and the last point was scored by Hui Ruoqi, so her name appears frequently in many highlights. However, in reality, Hui Ruoqi's performance at the Rio Olympics was not outstanding.
Hui Ruoqi announced her retirement because of heart problems, and at a party she met Yang Zhenbo, a doctor of pharmacy who graduated from Peking University.
They held a wedding in 2018, and in June 2021, Hui Ruoqi announced the birth of her daughter through social **.
Throughout her career, Hui Ruoqi has been full of controversy, especially her attempt to enter the entertainment industry after retiring, which has made her highly praised online. However, when she had a child, she received blessings and praise from netizens.
Four: Liu Yanhan
On January 19, 1993, Liu Yanhan was born in Panjin, Liaoning, and her family conditions are quite superior.
Liu Yanhan's father is a well-known local entrepreneur who is worth a lot of money. He never thought about getting his daughter into sports in the future.
However, Liu Yanhan's parents have always had a soft spot for sports, especially Liu Yanhan's mother, Zhu Xiuying, who was a track and field athlete at the city sports school when she was young.
Therefore, Liu Yanhan inherited her parents' excellent sports genes since she was a child, and as a result, when she was in the seventh grade at the age of 12, her height had reached 1.84 meters.
The head teacher told Zhu Xiuying that she could take her daughter to have her bone age measured to see how tall she might grow in the future, and also suggested that she consider engaging in sports.
Zhu Xiuying was moved by the words of the head teacher Liu Yanhan, although she has been away from the field for many years, her passion for sports is still the same. So, in this year, Zhu Xiuying was sent to the Bayi women's volleyball team by her mother.
Liu Yanhan only started to contact the women's volleyball team at the age of 12, which is quite late to sports. Therefore, when she joined the Bayi team, she obviously felt that she had a lot of shortcomings compared to other team members.
The sensible Liu Yanhan knows that she has shortcomings, she knows that she must rely on hard work to catch up with others, so she is the first to arrive at the training ground every day, and after the evening training, she still insists on practicing Xi repeatedly.
Slowly, Liu Yanhan gradually established her position in the Bayi women's volleyball team. In 2010, at the age of 17, she was selected for the Chinese youth women's volleyball team and won the Asian Youth Championship with the national youth team.
Liu Yanhan was the main scorer of the Bayi team in the 2012-2013 Women's Volleyball League, but despite being 20 years old, she still failed to enter the national team.
In 2013, when Lang Ping took over as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball national team, he announced the first training list, and then Liu Yanhan was included in the sight of the national team coaching staff.
At that time, the main offensive position of the national team included Zhu Ting, Hui Ruoqi, Zhang Changning and other players with extraordinary strength, and Liu Yanhan also played the main offensive position.
Therefore, it is difficult for Liu Yanhan to gain a foothold in the national team. In 2014, she won the Asian Cup and Asian Games with her national team, and in 2015, she won the World Cup with her teammates.
Although Liu Yanhan was a frequent visitor to the national team in those years, she was still excluded early in the 2016 Rio Olympics because the Chinese women's volleyball team has too much talent in the main offensive position.
Liu Yanhan not only failed to participate in the 2016 Rio Olympics, but also did not make the national team again nearly two years after the end of the Rio Olympics, and did not get the opportunity to be selected for the national team until the 2018 Asian Cup.
Liu Yanhan has been in a stellar performance at the Asian Cup, scoring 40 of her 66 smashes in a match, totalling 42 points.
And in the entire Asian Cup, Liu Yanhan's total score ranked second only to Zhu Ting and ranked second among all players.
Although Liu Yanhan's scoring ability in terms of comprehensiveness and critical moments is far from Zhu Ting's, she is also a good player with amazing explosiveness on the offensive end.
Yang Hanyu once said that the most difficult players in the Chinese women's volleyball national team are Liu Yanhan and Duan Fang. She made a point of emphasizing the duo's versatility in attack, making opponents elusive. Yang Hanyu believes that Liu Yanhan's excellent offensive ability was vividly demonstrated in the game.
Although Liu Yanhan's offensive ability is very strong, it is still impossible for her to participate in the Olympics with the main offensive position, because the Chinese women's volleyball team is full of talents in the main offensive position.
Although Hui Ruoqi announced her retirement after the Rio Olympics, Li Yingying performed better in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, so Liu Yanhan could only change his position to play in order to participate in the Tokyo Olympics.
The Chinese women's volleyball team has always been known for its weak strength in the receiving position, in addition to the main relay Gong Xiangyu, Zeng Chunlei, a veteran, is also the only candidate to choose from.
Even if Liu Yanhan changes his playing position, he must compete with Zeng Chunlei for a position, but due to the epidemic, Zeng Chunlei chose to retire and get married, so Liu Yanhan's position is relatively more stable.
However, at the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved the worst results in the past 10 years, and Liu Yanhan failed to perform well.
Coach Lang Ping announced his resignation as head coach of the women's volleyball team after the Tokyo Olympics, and the national team will be reorganized again. The older Liu Yanhan does not have much advantage in either the main attack or the reception, so it is difficult to gain a foothold in the national team.
Liu Yanhan next entered the short ** field, and now she has even begun to try live broadcasting, she seems to have shown an attitude of not admitting defeat and going all out in sports and other fields.
Liu Yanhan is 29 years old, and he may never have the opportunity to be selected for the national team again!
Whether it is from the countryside or the "rich second generation", it is not easy to succeed on the basketball court. It can even be said that the "rich second generation" is even more difficult, because even if they don't play basketball, they have more choices.
