She even called her father and asked her to pick her up from the sports school, but she couldn't hold on anymore.
But her father always persuaded her to hold on for a while.
Slowly, Zhu Ting found that she fell in love with volleyball.
Later, recalling those difficult years, Zhu Ting joked: "Fortunately, I had no money in my pocket at the time, so I bought my own ticket and went back when I was rich."
