The Chinese women's volleyball coaches and team members once again assembled in Zhangzhou on the 17th to begin a 40-day training camp.
This is the 47th time that the Chinese women's volleyball team has come to the Zhangzhou base.
A total of 20 players participated in the training camp.
This time the team is based in the New China Women's Volleyball Apartment. This is the first time that the New Chinese Women's Volleyball Apartment, which was put into construction in 2017, has welcomed the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team.
Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Chinese women's volleyball team has not participated in international competitions for more than a year.
Head coach Lang Ping said that this was the first time in her volleyball career, which brought challenges to players and coaches.
In her opinion, the spirit of the women's volleyball team and the spirit of fighting the epidemic are similar. She especially admires the responsibility of many "post-90s" young people at critical moments.
The Tokyo Olympics is scheduled to be held in July this year, and the Chinese women's volleyball team will play as the defending champion.

With their hard work and sweat, they wrote a magnificent poem that reverberates with passion and is singular.
Zhangzhou is the "maiden" of Chinese women's volleyball team and the "cradle" of champions.
