Literary Master 1978

The Chinese men's volleyball team has not won the world championship, but it has won the Asian championship.

In 1979, the Chinese men's and women's volleyball teams, which had just formed a team for three years, defeated the Japanese team at the Asian Volleyball Championship. Both won the Asian championship and qualified for the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

But it is a pity that due to political reasons, China did not participate in the Moscow Olympics at that time, which also caused the men's and women's volleyball teams to lose an opportunity to compete for the world championship.

Two years later, on March 20, 1981, the Chinese men's volleyball team faced the Korean men's volleyball team at the Victoria Stadium in Hong Kong. They defeated the Korean men's volleyball team with a score of 3:2 and advanced to the Volleyball World Cup. This time, the Chinese men's volleyball team could finally stand on the world stage. .

This was also the core reason why the students and people were so excited and proud at that time.

On the night when the men's volleyball team won, YSU students held a grand parade to celebrate the victory, and at the same time shouted the slogan "Unite and revitalize China."

After being disseminated by the "People's Daily", this slogan quickly spread across the country, arousing enthusiastic responses from the broad masses of the people, and further boosted the people's pride in the men's volleyball team's advancement to the World Cup.

Today, the Chinese men's volleyball team was invited by Yan University to come to the school to communicate with students. The team members received a hero's welcome as soon as they entered the Yan University campus.

The members of the men's volleyball team took the initiative to shout the slogan "Unite and revitalize China". The students responded one after another, and the loud slogans resounded throughout YSU.

Lin Chaoyang watched the excitement from a distance for a while. When he saw the crowd surrounding the men's volleyball team and stopped in the triangle, he returned to the library.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Du Rong suddenly ran back.

"Chaoyang, follow me!"

"Why go?"

"The coaches and players of the men's volleyball team want to meet the comrades who shouted the slogan 'Unite and revitalize China'."

"He can see him if he wants to!"

Lin Chaoyang wanted to get Qiaoer, but Du Rong urged him to go to the triangle.

"You said you are a scholar after all, why don't you know how to be reserved?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Du Rong rolled her eyes at him, "The principal asked me to ask you to go."

"Principal? Which principal?"

"Principal Zhang."

Hearing this name, Lin Chaoyang ran faster than a rabbit without Du Rong urging him.

"Hey, slow down and wait for me!" Du Rong shouted after him.

The exchanges between the men's volleyball team members and YSU students were not held in classrooms or auditoriums, but in the open space of the Triangle.

The men's volleyball team members stood in the middle, and the YSU students in the outer circle were sitting or standing around them.

At this time, Wang Jiawei of the men's volleyball team was sharing the fierce battles of the previous days with the students. Lin Chaoyang listened to his voice through the layers of heads.

"We have not played in international competitions for more than ten months, and have not played against the South Korean team in the past year and a half. Based on past results, we had wrong predictions and optimism about the game before the game.

We did not fully understand the personnel situation of the South Korean team and were not prepared for the difficulties of the game, which encouraged us to underestimate the enemy and be paralyzed, and to be relaxed and optimistic.

…”

Du Rong led him into the inner circle of the crowd and said to Zhang Longxiang, who was standing next to the men's volleyball team: "Principal Zhang, I called Chaoyang over."

Lin Chaoyang looked at Zhang Longxiang with a smile, "Principal Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?"

Looking at the meaningful smile on Lin Chaoyang's face, Zhang Longxiang's expression was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had experienced battles and said calmly: "The athletes of the men's volleyball team want to meet you."

"Isn't this appropriate?" Lin Chaoyang pretended to be embarrassed, "I am a person who is being punished..."

Hearing his words, Zhang Longxiang's face suddenly turned green, but after all, he was still the old man, so he laughed.

"Nothing is punished, no matter what. The slogan that night shouted out the patriotic enthusiasm of our YSU students, and also the spirit of the Chinese people. It is a great thing!"

After Zhang Longxiang said these words, he didn't give Lin Chaoyang a chance to speak and pulled him to the men's volleyball team.

"Coach Dai, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Lin Chaoyang, who was the first to shout the slogan 'Unite and revitalize China' on the night of March 20. Comrade Chaoyang is a rare young writer in our Chinese literary world!"

In front of the men's volleyball coach and athletes, Lin Chaoyang could no longer be arrogant and shook hands with Dai Tingbin with a smile.

"Comrade Chaoyang, your slogan is so good! It shouts out the spirit of our Chinese volleyball team!"

Men's volleyball coach Dai Tingbin held Lin Chaoyang's hand and excitedly talked about what happened after the game.

At the end of the game, the Chinese team was interviewed after winning, and then was arranged to play a friendly match with the Xiangjiang team.

Two days later, just as they were preparing to leave Hong Kong, the leaders of Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang branch told team leader Sun Zhian and head coach Dai Tingbin about the domestic response to their game.

The focus was on the spontaneous actions of YSU students on the night after the March 20th competition. At that time, the People's Daily had just published the newsletter "Unite and Revitalize China!" and told them to be mentally prepared after returning to China.

But even though they were mentally prepared, these coaches and athletes were still shocked by the scene before them after flying back to Yanjing.

When they walked out of the airport corridor holding the trophy, the airport was full of people. Among these people were not only enthusiastic fans who loved volleyball, but also several leaders of the State Sports Commission and major news media in the capital.

This huge and warm and solemn scene made the men's volleyball coaches and athletes a little overwhelmed, and they accepted the warm welcome ceremony in a confused state.

The leaders of the Sports Commission gave an enthusiastic speech on the spot to affirm the performance of the Chinese men's volleyball team in the game. The players also accepted interviews from CCTV and other news media in the capital.

Flowers, honors, and applause came in an instant, making everyone feel like they were in a dream.

In a blink of an eye, they have been back home for several days. In addition to congratulations on their victory and entering the World Cup, the most common remarks were about the slogan "Unite and Revitalize China" on the night of March 20.

The Chinese men's volleyball team is now popular among the whole people in China, which is inseparable from the blessing of this slogan that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

So the men's volleyball coach and athletes were also grateful to Lin Chaoyang and had to take a photo with him.

After taking the photo, the men's volleyball coach and athletes continued to communicate with the students, while Lin Chaoyang was pulled out of the crowd by Zhang Longxiang.

"Chaoyang, the school was afraid of some bad influence on the March 20 incident and did not consider the issue of public opinion fermentation. Now it seems that your actions have a positive effect.

In this matter, I was not thoughtful and let you suffer."

Just now, Du Rong called Lin Chaoyang over. He was going to say something in a veiled way, but Zhang Longxiang blocked it in front of the men's volleyball team.

At this moment, Zhang Longxiang suddenly apologized again, catching him off guard.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. After his statement, Lin Chaoyang really couldn't say anything, and the school's punishment had long been silent after the news in the People's Daily came out.

"Principal Zhang, you school leaders cannot discriminate against our faculty and students!" Lin Chaoyang finally said unwillingly.

"There is no such thing as differential treatment. But these college students are indeed the treasures of the school. You are also a faculty member. It is your responsibility to take care of these students. Don't you think so?"

As expected, he is so cunning that he has to kidnap himself even to apologize. Do I have to help the students take the blame?

"My tone was a little harsh in the office that day. I solemnly apologize to you here."

Zhang Longxiang's gesture was very strong, so Lin Chaoyang couldn't say anything else. "Principal Zhang, you are too serious. Let the past be the past."

While the two were talking, someone in the crowd not far away didn't know what happened. The students suddenly cheered, and then the two saw athletes in team uniforms being thrown high by the students.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the two couldn't help but smile a little relaxed and happy.

After the noise, the students took out the notebooks, student ID cards, textbooks and books that they had prepared long ago and asked the athletes to sign for them as a souvenir.

After a long while, two male volleyball players in uniforms suddenly ran out of the crowd, each holding a book in their hands, and ran to Lin Chaoyang to ask for his autograph.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Lin Chaoyang was asked for an autograph, and he was a little flattered for a while.

All along, his life trajectory was mainly between school and home. There were many of his readers in Yanda, but these people were proud of their status and no one had ever asked him for an autograph.

When he went out, Lin Chaoyang basically participated in activities and met people in the same industry. Occasionally, he went out to play or do business, but he didn't make it public, and no one knew that he was a writer who was famous all over the country.

After signing his name, Lin Chaoyang said hello to Zhang Longxiang and returned to the library.

When he walked to the front desk of the borrowing desk, he saw a small man waiting there.

"Haisheng!" Lin Chaoyang called out.

Cha Haisheng turned around and saw him, his face full of joy, "Brother Lin!"

"What are you so happy about?"

"My poem is going to be published. I received a letter of acceptance and a payment slip from "Yenching Literature."

"Great news!"

Cha Haisheng's face was full of excitement. This was the first time in his life that a work was published and printed in lead type.

"Thanks to your recommendation. I just received the payment. I will treat you to lunch at noon."

"No need. The poem can be published because you write well. I just helped you deliver the manuscript." Lin Chaoyang said modestly.

"That won't work. Let's go, it's noon now. I'll treat you! Let's go to Changzheng Restaurant!"

Cha Haisheng pulled Lin Chaoyang. He was not tall, but he was very enthusiastic, so Lin Chaoyang couldn't refuse.

When passing by the triangle, the exchange between the men's volleyball team and the students was still going on. Lin Chaoyang asked, "Aren't you going to join in the fun?"

"There's nothing to join in the fun. Just be happy on the day you win the game. If you do this now, what will you do if you lose in the future?"

Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "You are still very clear-sighted at such a young age."

"It's not that I'm clear-sighted, but I don't pay much attention to sports. My classmates were older than me since I was a child, and I was short, so I didn't have much affinity with sports." Cha Haisheng said self-deprecatingly.

Lin Chaoyang joked, "If you're not tall enough, you can make up for it with talent. For men, height and face are all external, so you still have to rely on your inner qualities."

Cha Haisheng looked at Lin Chaoyang and felt that his words were particularly convincing.

That's right, men have to rely on their inner qualities!
