I was scrolling through my Weibo feed yesterday when a video stopped me cold - there was Lang Ping, the legendary volleyball coach, playing with middle school students in Zhuhai. Not as some distant celebrity, but as what netizens were calling a 'volleyball buddy' who'd just shown up at their school tournament.
The video showed her laughing as she demonstrated a serve to kids half her height, her movements still carrying that familiar grace I remember from watching Chinese women's volleyball dominate international competitions. She moved between the students like she was coaching her own team, adjusting someone's stance here, giving a thumbs-up there.
It hit me right in the nostalgia. Suddenly I was back in high school, watching our terrible school team try to replicate those famous Chinese volleyball techniques during PE class. Our teacher, Mr. Zhang, would play recordings of Lang Ping's games and pause every five seconds to explain the strategy - 'See how she anticipates the opponent's move here? That's why she's the Iron Hammer!'
What struck me most was how Lang Ping told the students: 'I hope everyone starts from loving volleyball and participates in various sports.' Not 'you must become professional athletes' or 'win championships' - just love the game. That's the real spirit she's passing on.
Watching from overseas, these moments feel like little bridges back home. The smell of gymnasium floors, the sound of volleyballs thumping in rhythm, that particular way Chinese coaches shout encouragement - it all comes rushing back.
The comments section was filled with people sharing their own sports memories. Someone wrote about their grandmother who still talks about watching Lang Ping play in the 80s, another remembered their university volleyball team naming their drills after her techniques. It's these shared cultural touchstones that somehow make the distance feel smaller.
Honestly, I got a bit emotional watching it. There's something about seeing legends become mentors that hits different when you're far from home. It's not just about sports - it's about continuity, about passing things on to the next generation.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go message my high school group chat about this. I bet Mr. Zhang is already planning how to incorporate this into his next lesson.
