She is the truest portrayal of China women's volleyball team's tenacious fighting spirit.
When she was carrying the "iron rice bowl" of the State Sports Commission, she resolutely resigned and went to sea. ...
Cao Huiying: A rose that blooms forever.
In the spring of March, the spring city of Kunming. In the volleyball hall of the experimental school affiliated to Peking University, Cao Huiying, the former captain of China women's volleyball team, stood out among a group of beautiful young girls with his hair held high behind his head and wearing a pink striped coat with a black background. This is a scene from the TV series Rain and Sunshine. Cao Huiying plays an old woman volleyball player and "the mother of woman volleyball player Shangguan Yiyi".

This excellent woman tells her sports career, happy family and the road she has traveled over the years in a soft and clear voice.
Become attached to volleyball and inadvertently write miracles.
Cao Huiying, former captain of China women's volleyball team.
The experience of women's volleyball players left her only honor and injury. Her two legs are different in color and thickness, and there is still steel in her right leg; Her three fingers were broken and her little finger was deformed ... "The most meaningful time in my life was that time." Cao Huiying said indifferently: "Among the old women's volleyball sisters, I am in good health."
Cao Huiying was born in Shagouzi Village, Luannan County, Hebei Province. There are seven children in the family, and Cao Huiying is the youngest. Cao Huiying 16 years old, has grown to 1.78 meters. At this time, her second sister heard that Beijing Institute of Physical Education was recruiting people, so she wrote a letter to the college, telling her sister's age and height. Soon, two coaches from the Institute of Physical Education came to see Cao Huiying's arms and figure and let her feel her height. 1 971June1,Cao Huiying was informed to report to the Institute of Physical Education. It snowed heavily that day. Cao Huiying was sent to the bus station by his family and went to Beijing alone.
In fact, Cao Huiying was the first substitute to be absorbed into the "Youth Training Team" after the Cultural Revolution. In her words, "I am just a raw material, and I don't know what volleyball is and what basketball is." Cao Huiying began to practice decathlon, that is, from the most basic running and high jump.
One day eight months later, the dean of the Institute of Physical Education stood on the campus to enjoy the cool after dinner. When he saw Cao Huiying, he asked the coach next to him, "What does this man do?" The coach replied, "Practice decathlon." "Let her practice what decathlon? What a good material to play volleyball! " Anyway, the next day, Cao Huiying went to the volleyball team.
Other players have been practicing volleyball for eight months, but Cao Huiying learned it from scratch. "My characteristic is that I am more obedient and honest, and I will do whatever the coach says." So Cao Huiying has made rapid progress. After practicing for more than a year, she was selected to the Bayi team, 1976 was selected to the national team, and soon became the captain of the national team. Cao Huiying worked hard under the leadership of the new coach Yuan Weimin, and finally won the first world champion of China's three goals with 198 1.
Needless to say, Cao Huiying didn't talk too much about the hardships of winning the world championship, but what remained in her memory were some very interesting things. "The idea at that time was very simple. In addition to sleeping every day, it is at the training ground. " Cao Huiying said that she has many nicknames, such as desperate Saburo, Iron Girl, and Kucaihua ... In a training session, when Cao Huiying passed the ball, the little finger of her right hand was bent and she broke it herself. After breaking up, she was afraid to tell the coach. Afraid of not letting her train, she found a finger-long hard paper shell, padded it up and down, wrapped it with tape and made it. " A few days later, my hand stopped hurting, but it became crooked. The broken bone on the finger got stuck in the joint as soon as the doctor patted it.
Later, Chen Zhonghe invited several old women's volleyball players, such as Cao Huiying, to come back and tell the young players the training stories of that year. After listening to these stories, the team members asked Cao Huiying, "Sister Cao, is everything you said true?" It sounds like a story, but it's actually a legend. However, these real experiences are the most meaningful memory fragments in Cao Huiying's life.
In marriage and family, fools are blessed.
After China women's volleyball team won the world championship, a group of girls in Cao Huiying also became celebrities, which can be described as "red and purple". Some people suggested that Cao Huiying should marry a princeling immediately. Cao Huiying's idea is very real. At that time, her husband was the worst person introduced to her, but he was very nice.
"I think it's very simple. I can't stay popular. With so many injuries, I want to drink water. If he ignores me, then why? So, my boyfriend just looks at people, and I don't care about anything else. My husband and I have come to this day, and my sisters said to me,' You are so stupid and lucky.' "Cao Huiying lives a happy life, her husband is diligent, her mother-in-law is very kind to her, and her daughter has not been taken over by her since birth.
Speaking of her daughter Yin Yuexiaozi, Cao Huiying became eloquent. Yin Yue boy's name is very Japanese, but it has nothing to do with Japan. Xiaozi smiles when he is born for three hours. Cao Huiying wanted to think, think "Yin Yue boy" nice and beautiful, so he gave his daughter this name.
Xiaozi is just like her mother, 15 years old was 1.79. When studying in Canada, she was selected by an American model company and participated in the promotion activities of Sassoon. However, the petty bourgeoisie is very introverted. In 2004, Phoenix Satellite TV held the "Miss China" beauty contest. Cao Huiying thought it was a good opportunity to exercise her daughter, so she mobilized petty bourgeoisie to participate. In the end, Xiaozi won the third place with excellent personal conditions. After that, I worked as the host of Beautiful Golf on Phoenix TV for one year. At present, Xiaozi has returned to school to continue his studies.
Challenge yourself to go from the stadium to the mall.
From 65438 to 0983, Cao Huiying retired from the national team and entered the Beijing Institute of Physical Education. After graduation, he was assigned to the State Sports Commission and worked as the vice president of China International Sports Tourism Company for 8 years. Holding an enviable "iron rice bowl", Cao Huiying resigned in the early 1990s.
In the eyes of sisters, Cao Huiying is a person who "always does things that others can't think of". When she took off her military uniform, she was already a senior colonel. Many people advised her not to leave the army at that time. When she resigned, she was already at the bureau level. The leader talked to her: "You have made such a great contribution to the motherland before, and now it is time for your mother to take care of you." Cao Huiying replied: "I am neither old nor young, and I have always been raised by my unit. I am not energetic. "
Cao Huiying joined her husband's real estate company. "There is a big difference between doing business and playing volleyball. Playing volleyball is organized and managed. As long as you train well and try your best, you are a good player; Doing business is different. The business world is like a battlefield. Everything has to be learned from scratch. "
The TV series Rain and Sunshine began to be prepared three years ago. After several touches, Cao Huiying was invited to be the consultant of the play. She thinks it is very meaningful to shoot such a TV series that reflects the story of women's volleyball. "I just play myself in it, and that's the real thing." The veterans of the women's volleyball team were very excited when they heard that the play would be put into production.
After leaving volleyball for many years, Cao Huiying still pays attention to the women's volleyball competition. She will watch all the competitions, especially the performance of China women's volleyball team in the 2008 Olympic Games.
The honor of the motherland is the highest reward in my heart.
Cao Huiying is the oldest in the women's volleyball team, but now she seems to be the youngest at the party. How does she maintain it? "The most important thing for a person is mentality. I don't care about anything. I think I will do the right thing, and I will never regret doing the wrong thing. I will never lose sleep. " At present, Cao Huiying's life is mainly rest.
Cao Huiying showed her right trouser leg to the reporter. The purple-black scar on her knee is shocking. "Running will never run again in my life." In addition to leg injuries and finger injuries, Cao Huiying suffers from lower back fractures, cervical spondylosis and other injuries. She can't squat, and she can't straighten up if she bends over for a long time. Is such a figure, Cao Huiying also said that he "is good among several old sisters".
After the old women's volleyball players won two world championships, Comrade Deng Xiaoping gave them bonuses in three grades. Lang Ping and Zhang took 3,000 yuan, and Zhou Xiaolan took 2,000 yuan ... "The material return can't be compared with the present, but we got a lot of spiritual returns." What makes women volleyball girls endure the unbearable hardships of ordinary people and persist? "It is an honor to be selected for the national team. Besides, everyone is competitive. Our idea is simple, that is, when you are on the national team, you are the best. " Cao Huiying said.
"Someone asked me, do you think it's worth it? So many people are injured, but there is no money? In my own memory, I think the most meaningful time is that time. When we first stepped onto the podium, when the five-star red flag was raised and the national anthem was played, people all over the world were watching you, and everything was worth it. This feeling is unimaginable to outsiders. How people live is a lifetime. We don't talk vigorously, and it's not in vain. " Cao Huiying said.
Roses, rainstorms and rainbows. Cao Huiying, whenever and wherever, this magnificent rose always blooms with a smile ... (Reporter Sheng)
Take "women volleyball players" as models.
A dozen young and beautiful tall girls, some wearing long skirts and some wearing short denim skirts ... stood in a row, twisted their waists and walked the catwalk gracefully past the camera ... Kunming in March, in sunny weather, this beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye. On the morning of March 9th, the TV series Rain and Sunshine, which reflects the story of women volleyball players, started shooting in Yunnan Experimental School of the Middle School Attached to Beijing Normal University in Rixin Middle Road, Kunming.
There are four heroines in Rain and Sunshine. Zhang, who plays Zhang Dafeng, is a Beijing women's volleyball player and later played softball. After retiring, she is now a coach of a modeling company in Beijing. Chen Guo, who plays Shangguan Yiyi, is a member of the Bayi Women's Volleyball Team. She is the daughter of Chen Zhaodi, a former national women's volleyball player. Ni Jingyang, who plays Zhuo Ma, is the only professional actress among these girls. Her height 1.78 meters. She used to be a professional model and won the title of Top Ten Model in the New Silk Road Supermodel Competition. She played Fu Biao's daughter in "Daddy Rushs Forward", and teacher Pepe in "Eighteen-year-old Sky" ... Thin and beautiful Ni Jingyang looks a bit like Jacklyn Wu; Lou Xiaoman, who plays Wen Zhuang, is a member of Hebei Women's Volleyball Team. Last year, she also participated in the National Games and will soon retire. Zhao's production director told reporters that Lou Xiaoman is about to become a bride. "At that time, everyone in our crew will go to Shijiazhuang to attend her wedding." Ye Zhao said: "Although these girls made this film, most of them would not choose to be actors." A catwalk scene was filmed, and the staff standing by said, "Ni Jingyang is still authentic. After all, she is a professional model. "
A dozen girls are filming together, and the excitement can be imagined. During recess, they will take out their cameras and take pictures on campus. The temperature at noon is very high, and most girls wear very little, but director Tian Di still wears a special down jacket. He seriously explained to reporters: "I'm afraid of the cold, especially in a cool place. I have to wear more clothes."
These morning scenes are about China women's volleyball player Shangguan Yiyi (Chen Guo) who doesn't want to fight any more, and her mother (Cao Huiying) comes to the team to persuade her daughter. The crew has great respect for Cao Huiying, and the directors and producers call her "Big Sister". In a few short days in Kunming, Cao Huiying had to eat pea tips for every meal. She likes the bright sunshine in Kunming. It is reported that the crew finally persuaded Cao Huiying, who is recuperating in Sanya, Hainan, to play the role of "a mother". "Sister don't have to play, the script is written by herself. When she passed the security check at the airport, the machine would keep barking and there was steel in her leg. There is a scene in which, as an old member of the women's volleyball team, a mother returns to the court that she hasn't come back for many years, and the elder sister touches the net with her hand. Such a scene touched all of us. " Production director Zhao told reporters.
Cao Huiying's performance is natural, but she can't last. Every time the play stops, she will sit down and have a rest. At noon, after 1, Cao Huiying's scenes all ended after she bowed deeply to the "actors", and the director took the lead in applauding.
