Lang Ping returned to his alma mater to reminisce about his student days, and the "iron hammer" kicked off the volleyball teenager in Chaoyang District.

On the afternoon of June 12th, Beijing Chen Jinglun Middle School was very lively. Lang Ping, an outstanding alumnus of the school, returned to her alma mater and recalled her unforgettable school days with her primary school brothers and sisters. On the same day, the special office of "Olympic Games Chaoyang" volleyball campus was unveiled, and the volleyball league of "Lang Ping Class" and "Lang Ping Cup" of Chen Jinglun Middle School was announced.
"Chaoyang cannon" became attached to volleyball at school.
For the children of Chen Jinglun Middle School, today is definitely a memorable day, because Lang Ping, as their senior, will return to his alma mater, which makes the children extremely excited. They ask each other, "Has the senior arrived?" "Will Director Lang come to see us play volleyball?" The children discussed excitedly, and they also prepared flowers and songs to welcome Lang Ping. At two o’clock in the afternoon, Lang Ping walked to the school auditorium amid the cheers of teachers and students. There were warm cheers on campus, and Lang Ping waved to the children and teachers happily.

Lang Ping, who returned to her alma mater, was very relaxed, and it was hard to hide her excitement when she recalled the story with her alma mater. She said, "I am very excited and excited to return to my alma mater today. I am proud of my alma mater, and this is where my dream began. I am here to thank my physical education teacher and thank Teacher Meng. "
As a teenager, Lang Ping was a junior high school student in Chaoyang Middle School (predecessor of Chen Jinglun Middle School). She recalled: "My home is very close to school, and I am very excited to go to school every day, because every classmate will run and play basketball on the playground during recess. I am particularly looking forward to joining the school sports team. " At first, Lang Ping practiced track and field events, but because she was too thin, the teacher suggested that she practice basketball. When she arrived at the basketball team, the teacher still thought she was too thin and suggested that she try playing volleyball. Lang Ping said: "In this way, I went to Mr. Meng, who introduced me to the rules of volleyball and other knowledge. Teacher Meng said that you can bounce well and you don’t need to collide in the volleyball match, so it doesn’t matter if you are thin. You can also play volleyball if you are thin. " In this way, Lang Ping had an indissoluble bond with volleyball at school.
Later, Lang Ping participated in the volleyball competition in Chaoyang District on behalf of Chaoyang Middle School at that time, and gradually became famous. People gave him the nickname "Chaoyang Cannon". Speaking of this nickname full of power, the children who listened attentively to Lang Ping’s sharing laughed, and Lang Ping himself couldn’t help laughing.
In today’s activity, the school also invited Lang Ping’s class teacher and classmates at that time. At that time, the head teacher was already white-haired. Lang Ping took a few quick steps and stepped forward to hold the teacher’s hand tightly.

Ma Yuhong, another teacher in Lang Ping, recalled how hard Lang Ping was when she was a student. She said, "Lang Ping went to school before self-study in the morning. Every day, she practiced serving in front of the east wall of the big playground." The student who loves volleyball left a deep impression on Ma Yuhong. She thinks that the child doesn’t know pain and fatigue when practicing. "Before self-study in the morning and after two classes in the afternoon, Lang Ping must have run to the playground and practiced the ball, so that his pants were covered with dirt."
When Lang Ping was a student, she not only loved sports, but also studied subjects. Ma Yuhong recalled: "I remember Lang Ping’s handwriting was very good, and later I knew that she was practicing her own handwriting. Moreover, she always learns "Xu Guozhang English" after class, and her classmate Liu Wei also recalls that Lang Ping knew what she would do in the future, and then she studied English so seriously. " In Ma Yuhong’s impression, Lang Ping has always been a student with a clear goal, and he will persist in doing it after identifying the goal.
Schoolmates face to face with Olympic champions
When Lang Ping returned to his alma mater, the students naturally would not miss the opportunity of face-to-face communication with the Olympic champion, and everyone threw questions at Lang Ping. A junior one boy is learning to play volleyball. He is curious about which technical link is the most important in the competition. Lang Ping said that every technical link in volleyball, including cushion, passing, defense, serving, spiking and blocking, is very important. "I feel very lucky, because I am the main attack, and everyone is watching my final decision. But in front of me, teammates are padding the ball and passing the ball … So volleyball is a project that emphasizes teamwork very much, and any technical link is very important. " Lang Ping told this little classmate that she thinks the most important thing is to actively and enthusiastically participate in sports, because in sports, she can enhance deeper friendship and stronger team spirit with her teammates, which is the most enjoyable.

Some students asked how to overcome setbacks in physical training. Is there a trick? Lang Ping shared that taking part in all physical exercises or other studies will definitely not be smooth sailing. "I didn’t know when I played ball that I would go to the national team and be able to play in the Olympic Games. So it doesn’t matter if I fail. I’ll come again next time. With this encouragement to yourself, this road will be very happy, and every progress and growth can be realized. "
Today, the first "Lang Ping Cup" volleyball league of Chen Jinglun Middle School kicked off, and Lang Ping kicked off the ball for the young players at the scene. On the court, the children serve, save the ball, pass the ball, smash it … and play it like a model.
At today’s event, Chen Jinglun Middle School awarded Lang Ping the certificate of "Outstanding Alumni" and the Lang Ping Alumni Hand Model Admission Certificate. At the same time, the school set up "Lang Ping Class" and awarded "Lang Ping Class".
"Double Olympic Chaoyang" will train more outstanding volleyball reserve talents.
