From November 3 to 13, 1998, the 13th Women's Volleyball World Championship was held in Japan. Before the game, Chinese women's volleyball coach Lang Ping cried anxiously rarely.
It turned out that Wang Yi, the main assistant attacker of the team at that time, promised to return to the team, but did not say hello to Lang Ping and the Chinese Volleyball Association, and quietly went to California to study.
And Lai Yawen suffers from hepatitis and is receiving ** in the hospital, so that the Chinese women's volleyball team's secondary offensive line is only left with Wu Yongmei.
Lang Ping came to the hospital tangled, facing Lai Yawen on the hospital bed, not knowing how to speak.
Lai Yawen knew Lang Ping's intention, and without waiting for her to open up, he said: I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Lang Ping couldn't help crying again. Soon, Lai Yawen ignored the doctor's dissuasion and dragged his weak body back to the team.

The scores of the five games were: 13:15 15:17 15:6 15:10 9:15. The situation suddenly became extremely grim, and the Chinese women's volleyball team may not be able to enter the top 8.

After entering the rematch, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Italian team 3:0, lost to the Cuban team 0:3, defeated the Bulgarian team 3:0, and was lucky to break into the top 4.
The opponent of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the semifinals is the Russian team, and the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Russian team 3:1 in the semifinals at the Atlanta Olympics. The Russian women's volleyball team was not convinced and always wanted to take revenge.
The average height of the team is 1At 88 meters, the two main attackers Atamonova and Gaudina had outstanding strong attacking strength, and Sokonova made a secondary attack. The Russian team played high and high, and the tactics of the secondary attack were very few, basically the high ball of the number position. Due to the slow offensive speed, the Chinese women's volleyball team effectively organized the blocking.
Wu Yongmei. Wu Yongmei is the most eye-catching offensive player on the field, her close body is fast, short and flat fast in the No. 3 position, and the back flight and back slip in the No. 2 position, frequently tearing apart the opponent's defense. The tactical ball she cooperated with Qiu Aihua made the fans pleasing to the eye.
The Russian team couldn't stop the fast attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the back row couldn't defend it, but the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the opponent in three straight games and entered the finals strongly. The score of the three games is: 15:4 15:4 15:9.

There is a gap between the overall strength of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Cuban team. In the group stage against the Cuban team, Lang Pingxue hid He Qi, Sun Yue, and Lai Yawen, the three main players, and in the finals, the Chinese women's volleyball team was the main force.
The Cuban team served very strongly, and the Chinese women's volleyball team couldn't pass in place, and the tactics of secondary attack and response could not be played, so they could only fight with the opponent to attack. As a result, in the first game, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 4:15.
From the second game, the first pass of the Chinese women's volleyball team has improved, and the main second setter He Qi resolutely played fast and played tactical cooperation when the first pass was in place.
Wu Yongmei, Lai Yawen, and Qiu Aihua's rapid attack in the No. 4 position, and Sun Yue's and Li Yan's rapid flat opening at the No. 4 position made the Cuban team unable to keep up with the rhythm. Clause.
In the second and third games, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost 14:16 12:15 respectively, and the score difference with the Cuban team was not large.
Lai Yawen. Following the Atlanta Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the runner-up again. Lang Ping and the players were very happy, only Lai Yawen cried, this was her farewell match for the national team.
After 10 years of struggle in the national team, Lai Yawen failed to win a world championship, and she was unwilling.
After this Women's Volleyball World Championship, Wu Yongmei has completely grown and matured, becoming the main auxiliary attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and one of the most stable scoring points in the team. She flew on her back with one foot at the No. 2 position, becoming more and more perfect and becoming a scene in the world women's volleyball world.
On January 1, 1975, Wu Yongmei was born in Baoding City, Hebei Province. She is tall and has good physical fitness, and entered Baoding Sports School at the age of 8 to practice long jump.
Wu Yongmei. But Wu Yongmei likes volleyball and often goes to the volleyball team of the sports school to watch the children train. Wu Yongmei has a fellow who plays in the Bayi men's volleyball team, in the Spring Festival of 1987, when the other party returned to Baoding for the New Year, she specially came to the door and asked the fellow to introduce her to the Bayi team for testing.
In May of this year, Wu Yongmei took a car from Baoding to the Bayi women's volleyball team for testing. Her height, strength, bounce, flexibility and other indicators are all satisfactory to the coach. As a result, 12-year-old Wu Yongmei became a member of the Bayi Youth Women's Volleyball Team.
At first, she was the main attacker, and then switched to the secondary attack. In 1989, Wu Yongmei was selected for the Bayi women's volleyball team and began to participate in the National Women's Volleyball League with the team.
In December 1991, Hu Jin, who was the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, recruited Wu Yongmei into the team. Due to her young age and immature skills, Wu Yongmei has never played in the national team and has always sat on the cold bench.
At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team had Wang Yi, Lai Yawen, Su Liqun and many other mature secondary attackers, and Wu Yongmei was returned to the Bayi team in 1993. After a year of grinding in the national youth team, Wu Yongmei was selected for the national team again in 1995.
Wang Yi and Wu Yongmei (right).
After Lang Ping's meticulous work, Wu Yongmei's No. 2 attack is very lethal, especially the back flight and back slip can be called a must. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Wu Yongmei, Lai Yawen and Wang Yi supported the secondary offensive line of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In 1999, Hu Jin replaced Lang Ping as the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and recruited Wu Yongmei into the team.
Wu Yongmei and Chen Jing served as the main secondary attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and Gui Chaoran from the Shanghai women's volleyball team served as the substitute secondary attacker. Chen Jing is 182 meters, comprehensive skills, one pass, excellent defense, good at the No. 3 position of short flat fast, close body fast attack. But due to her height, she has loopholes in her net.
At that time, Li Yan, the main attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team, changed to play a free man, and Yin Yin and Sun Yue played opposite corners. In this women's volleyball team, Wu Yongmei's offense is the most eye-catching, when she is in the front row, as long as the first pass is in place, the second setter will pass the ball to her, and Wu Yongmei will score with the ball in her hand.
Due to the average overall strength, in the 1999 World Cup, the Chinese women's volleyball team only won the fifth place. Since then, the team has made matters worse, at the beginning of 2000, the main receiver Qiu Aihua underwent appendicitis surgery, and his state declined significantly, so Hu Jin recruited back the 32-year-old veteran Wu Dan and asked her and Li Shan to support the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The "** generation" of the Chinese women's volleyball team
The 27th Olympic Games were held in Sydney from 15 September to 1 October 2000. In the first game of the group stage, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the United States team 1:3.

Fortunately, they defeated Kenya and Australia 3-0 respectively, and finally qualified as the fourth in the group.

After the Chinese women's volleyball team was defeated in Sydney, Hu Jin resigned and was replaced by Chen Zhonghe. In 2001, when Chen Zhonghe formed the new Chinese women's volleyball team, only two old players, Wu Yongmei and Chen Jing, were retained, and Wu Yongmei was also arranged to be the captain.
At that time, Wu Yongmei was playing at the Modena Club in Italy, coached by Lang Ping, and because of the contract, she did not participate in the preliminary training camp of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
In 2002, the Chinese women's volleyball team prepared for the World Championships in Germany, and Wu Yongmei returned to the team. At this time, she was 27 years old, making her the oldest member of the team. In the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix in July this year, Wu Yongmei was often sent on the court at critical moments to stabilize the morale of the army.
However, on August 29, on the eve of the Chinese women's volleyball team going to the World Championships, Chen Zhonghe talked to Wu Yongmei. This conversation was too difficult, Director Chen didn't know how to speak, Wu Yongmei guessed the ** point, and tears flowed down her eyes.
Wu Yongmei left the team overnight and kept crying, the team members who saw her off also cried, and Chen Zhonghe couldn't help crying. Wu Yongmei was defeated in the World Championships, to the surprise of fans and **, everyone was upset for her and blamed Chen Zhonghe for not using people well.
Wu Yongmei. In an interview with **, Wu Yongmei asked the reporter to bring a message to the fans: I am very good, please rest assured fans. In 2003, Wu Yongmei continued to play in Italy.
What is not known is that as early as October 2000, Wu Yongmei got married. Her husband's name is Wen Peng, and he used to be a volleyball player.
Wen Peng was born in Beijing on December 31, 1975, nearly one year younger than Wu Yongmei. He is 190 meters, entered the Chinese youth men's volleyball team in 1994. He was the team's main attacker, later served as the captain, and won the Asian Youth Men's Volleyball Championship with the team.
In 1997, Wen Peng retired and entered Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics for further study, majoring in industrial and commercial administration. In 2001, after graduating from Wen Peng University, he joined Beijing TV as a sports news reporter.
Wu Yongmei met Wen Peng when she was 18 years old. At that time, Wen Peng came to the Bayi women's volleyball team as a male sparring partner, he and Wu Yongmei looked very similar, and everyone said that they were a pair of sisters and brothers.
Wu Yongmei and Wen Peng.
Because of their young age, the two often fight together, but neither of them thinks about love. In 1997, Wen Peng left the Bayi team, and teammate Pan Wenli said to Wu Yongmei: What do you think of Wen Peng?
Wu Yongmei said: Very good. So under the mediation of Pan Wenli, Wu Yongmei and Wen Peng had a meal in a restaurant in Hepingli, and the two officially confirmed their relationship.
In October 2000, Wu Yongmei and Wen Peng got married in a low-key manner in Beijing. Wu Yongmei left home at the age of 12 to play in Beijing, and after so many years of wandering, she longs for the warmth of her family.
However, after marriage, because of her status as an athlete, Wu Yongmei and her husband got together less and separated more, and the couple relied on ** to maintain their relationship. This time she failed to qualify for the World Championships, Wu Yongmei was very sad. In those days, Wen Peng had been accompanying and enlightening Wu Yongmei at home until she was in a better mood.
Wu Yongmei (right).
In 2003, after Wu Yongmei went to Italy to play, she continued to separate from her husband. However, Wu Yongmei worked hard for a season, only received a month and a half of salary, and was owed $40,000 in wages. Sun Yue, Yin Yin, Wu Dan, Su Liqun and others were also owed wages, and even Lang Ping was owed $130,000, and she was forced to sue the club.
With the efforts of the Chinese Volleyball Association and Lang Ping, Sun Yue was the first to get the arrears of wages, and later the arrears of wages of Wu Yongmei and others were also in place one after another. In 2004, Wu Yongmei terminated her contract with the Italian club and went to Japan to play in the league.
In 2005, Wu Yongmei officially retired, she no longer went overseas to play, but entered the Bayi women's volleyball team as a coach.
In December 2006, Wen Peng left Beijing TV and joined the CCTV Sports Channel's "My Olympics" column group as the editor-in-chief. Two years later, Wu Yongmei gave birth to a baby in Beijing and liked to be a mother.
Wu Yongmei has a strong sense of responsibility at work, and when she comes home every day, she is exhausted, Wen Peng assists the nanny to take care of the baby and undertake housework, so that Wu Yongmei can rest. He often cooks stewed lentils and shredded potatoes with sharp peppers that Wu Yongmei loves to eat, and Wu Yongmei never gets tired of eating them.
Wu Yongmei (second from left) and He Qi (first from right) took a group photo with Lang Ping, Wang Ziling and Yin Yin.
Wu Yongmei loves to drill the horns of the bull when she encounters problems, and when she encounters difficulties at work, she is worried at home. Wen Peng always patiently enlightened and comforted her, and after Wu Yongmei cried, her troubles dissipated.
In the 2016-2017 season, the Bayi women's volleyball team did not enter the top 4, and it happened that head coach Yu Juemin's contract with the team expired. He did not renew his contract with the Bayi women's volleyball team, so the team's assistant coach Wu Yongmei was arranged by the relevant departments to serve as the first head coach.
In June, she led the team to participate in the play-offs of the National Games, and the Bayi women's volleyball team did not enter the top 8, only finished 9th, and was squeezed out of the finals.
Since then, the Bayi women's volleyball team has changed blood, Yang Junjing and Shen Jingsi have faded out of the squad, and the team has added some newcomers, Wu Yongmei has determined to take Yuan Xinyue and Liu Yanhan as the core, and strive to lead the team to the top 8 of the league.
However, in the 2017-2018 National Volleyball Super League, Wu Yongmei led the team to be fired after only one game, I don't know why?
Wu Yongmei. There are many reasons for Wu Yongmei's resignation on the Internet, the most important one is because of her player Wang Yunrui. But this statement did not receive a response from the parties.
Being dismissed from class hit Wu Yongmei very hard, her hair turned a lot grayer, and her whole person quickly became old and haggard.
Wen Peng has always enlightened Wu Yongmei spiritually, warmed her with love, and accompanied his wife through the most difficult time.
In 2018, under the introduction of Lang Ping, Wu Yongmei entered Beijing Normal University as a volleyball coach. Time is like water, washing away Wu Yongmei's inner troubles and entanglements, and now she and her husband live an ordinary life.
