Section 9, The Victory of the Women's Volleyball Team

The environment was excellent. What surprised Li Jianguang was that Wang Lin personally turned on the television and poured a glass of water for Rong Fei, saying, "You few, if you want water, do it yourself." Wang Lin's attitude towards Rong Fei indicated that they were already well acquainted and had an unusual relationship. The television broadcast had already started, and Song Shixiong's unique voice and commentary style were very popular among the students. Everyone immediately immersed themselves in the intense and exciting match, which reached its climax in the final against the Japanese team. The Chinese team initially won the first two games quite easily, and it seemed that the championship was within reach. However, unexpectedly, the situation changed dramatically; in the third and fourth games, the Chinese team, despite leading, was turned around by their opponents. The resilience of the Japanese players was fully displayed. At the start of the fifth game, the situation was unfavorable for the Chinese team, trailing 0:4, which made everyone's hearts race. Ma Jinyu, disregarding the presence of the dean, began to curse the referee, and Wang Lin also shouted loudly, forgetting his status. Only Rong Fei remained calm as usual. Wang Lin, sitting next to him, curiously asked, "Aren't you nervous?" The resilience of the Japanese players was fully displayed.

Wang Lin, sitting next to him, curiously asked, "Aren't you nervous?" Rong Fei smiled and replied, "Not nervous, because we will win!" Wang Lin thought Rong Fei had good psychological quality, unaware that images he had seen before flashed through Rong Fei's mind. Ultimately, the Chinese team won the fifth game with a score of 16:14, securing their first world championship in a major sport.

Younger brother Rong Yi is three years younger than Rong Fei. Since childhood, he has not performed well in his studies and enjoys associating with a group of unruly young men. Unfortunately, their parents dote on him, shielding him from some of his faults. This spring, due to a minor issue, the two brothers had a dispute, and their father, Rong Zhi Gui, without any hesitation, slapped Rong Fei, which left him extremely heartbroken

In 1981, the Chinese women's volleyball team participated in the third Women's World Cup held in Japan as the Asian champions. The competition was conducted in a single round-robin format, and the Chinese women's volleyball team advanced triumphantly, achieving a perfect record of seven wins. This marked the first world championship in the three major ball sports. Prior to this, the team's best result was fourth place in the second Women's World Cup in 1977. This victory instantly brought the entire nation into a state of celebration, sparking a volleyball craze. Coaches and players such as Yuan Weimin, Lang Ping, Zhang Rongfang, Sun Jinfang, and Zhou Xiaolan became nationally renowned public figures overnight.

First, how do you know the whereabouts of Qiao Tieshan

"It's alright, I'm not too sleepy today. I can take a nap after dinner." Wei Ruilan held a porcelain cup to drink water, "Xiao Fei, there is indeed a problem with Xiao Yi's studies. A couple of days ago, the teacher called, and your father absolutely refused to go. I went to the school and was scolded by the teacher, I was almost humiliated. The teacher directly cited your example, believing that Xiao Yi is too poor in his studies. He is already in the second year of high school, ranked thirty-fifth in the class, what hope is there?

He is already in the second year of high school, ranked thirty-fifth in the class, what hope is there? You should find some time to tutor him."

"It is like this," Wang Lin pondered, "Secondly, how do you determine that I can be the director?" Although the person before him was a youth still showing signs of immaturity, Wang Lin had already regarded him as an equal conversational partner. "What is the basis for your analysis?"

What should we do? A few volleyball fans are anxiously jumping up and down as they watch the television broadcast about to begin

Mother, you still have to stay up all night, so why not sleep for a while? I will call you after I finish making dinner

Cheers suddenly erupted in the room, and with the referee's whistle, the Chinese team emerged victorious

"Why are you not very happy?" Wang Lin asked Rong Fei, who was still sitting.

I know where she is, no need to rush. Mom, our family's life will definitely get better in the future. However, Rong Fei's words did not attract Wei Ruilan's attention

It is quite simple. There is hardly any technical content involved. The central government will certainly advocate for the rejuvenation of its cadres. Before the official documents are issued by the central government, internal operations have already begun, similar to the three combinations during the Cultural Revolution; there must be young forces within the leadership, right? Looking at our college, who else besides you can take on the important role of dean? Trust me, within two months, there will definitely be good news. Rong Fei suppressed his inner panic, as he reflected on the political matters. His memory was incomplete regarding these issues, and he rarely dreamt of topics related to politics; his dreams were mostly mixed with international finance and many aspects of international relations, which had nothing to do with the current transition of the dean. Therefore, he hurriedly left, leaving Vice Dean Wang to ponder alone.

Therefore, he hurriedly left, leaving Vice Dean Wang to ponder alone.

He verified the outcome. As the score from his memories reappeared, "It really is the same," Rong Fei felt an inexplicable shock in his heart. Time and again, he confirmed the reality of the dream, and his inner fear grew increasingly intense. What is happening?

The people of our country are too immature. A world championship does not necessarily indicate a problem, nor does it prove that we have become a strong nation. A strong sports nation is not necessarily an economic or military power, and moreover, winning a championship once does not mean we can be considered a strong sports nation.

I see, follow me then. Wang Lin nodded, and Rong Fei followed him. Li Jianguang, Ma Jinyu, and a few others were acquainted with Vice Dean Wang, who was in charge of teaching, but how did Rong Fei know Dean Wang? This was not the time to explore secrets. Li Jianguang exchanged glances, and the group of friends closely followed Rong Fei to Dean Wang's office on the third floor

That wwwhetushu.com is a favor from Teacher Gong

"Do not boast; that broken washing machine costs more than my monthly salary. What about the girl who came to your house? I mean the girl from your high school class. Are you still in touch with her?" Wei Ruilan's accent from Beixin is very strong.

Alright, I will wait for the dean to decide before speaking. Rong Fei noticed that Li Jianguang and the others were already waiting at the door, the live broadcast of the volleyball match had concluded, yet they could not contain their excitement; they needed to go out and release some energy

You are quite an interesting student. Wang Lin felt that Rong Fei was shrouded in many mysteries. By the way, I heard that you wrote a piece of calligraphy for Teacher Gong Hanxiang

Alright. Since you are up, Mom, I will head back to school now, as I have a lot of homework to do

Rong Fei thought, I certainly cannot tell you that I once had a long dream in which I saw you and Zheng Xiaoying caught in an affair. Fortunately, he was well-prepared. "It was like this, after dinner, I went to the classroom to get my books, but the door over there was locked, so I had to take a detour. I went into the restroom for a moment and heard Vice Dean Qiao talking to someone outside the restroom. The content was, of course, about you and Teacher Zheng. After they left, I hurried to find you..." Rong Fei thought, this clumsy explanation, even if you doubted it, you could not possibly go to Qiao Tieshan to verify the details. If I am not mistaken, the dream is increasingly being confirmed as accurate. The title of Vice Dean that you, Vice Dean Wang, hold will soon be removed, and Qiao Tieshan will also be transferred from the college after the Spring Festival, before the next semester begins. My lie will forever remain something that cannot be verified.

Then you may leave

After waking from her nap, Wei Ruilan sat lazily on the edge of the kang. Her son's words did not provoke any deeper reflection; she did not even notice the changes in her son. She was a careless woman, whose strengths lay in her diligence and simplicity, while her weaknesses included a lack of independent thinking, often echoing others' opinions, and a somewhat blind obedience to her husband

On Monday, the students who loved volleyball were all searching for a television. Unlike the situation thirty years later, where every small restaurant would have an LCD TV hanging on the wall, in 1981, each department of the industrial college had only one or two televisions. The mechanical engineering department was relatively better off, having a Japanese-imported Hitachi model placed in the department head's office, which had long been occupied by a group of young teachers. By the time Rong Fei and Li Jianguang and a few others searched for a television in the office building, the known places were already overcrowded, with some even refusing to open their doors.

Rong Fei sat quietly

On November 15, Rong Fei returned home to fetch his cotton coat. There was no television at home, and he was concerned about the Women's Volleyball World Cup being held far away in Osaka. While using the family's high-end appliance—a single-cylinder washing machine of the Aviation brand—to help his mother with the laundry, he listened to the match against the United States being commented on by Song Shixiong on the radio. Rong Fei was not particularly fond of sports; due to his excessively slender build, standing at 1.8 meters tall and weighing only 55 kilograms, he found basketball to be quite disadvantageous. However, he learned volleyball after arriving at the academy, which suited his temperament better, so he paid more attention to the women's volleyball matches. In terms of the level of interest, it certainly could not compare to that of volleyball enthusiasts like Li Jianguang and Ma Jinyu.

"The washing machine broke, did it wake you up?" Rong Fei saw his mother was awake and began to get dressed and get out of bed

Hehe, will you write me a piece that day as well

Mother, learning is entirely a personal matter; teachers are secondary factors. Xiaoyi's issues will likely have to be resolved by himself. I believe the main problem lies in making unwise friendships. If this is not addressed, then everything else is irrelevant.

"Rong Fei, wait a moment." Wang Lin called out to Rong Fei, who was about to take his leave. "You all go ahead; I need to talk to Rong Fei about something." Wang Lin waved for Li Jianguang and the others to leave. "Rong Fei, please have a seat. Since the incident last time, I haven't had the chance to thank you in person. I have a few questions and hope to get your answers."

"Director Wang, we are looking for a place to watch the women's volleyball final," Rong Fei said with a smile

I would like to recite an ancient poem, to add a touch of elegance.

No problem. What does Dean Wang want to write

Oh, no, we used to have a typical classmate relationship.

"You are still young; it is not the time to be in a relationship. Our family does not lack for daughters-in-law; good girls will come to our door in due time." Wei Ruilan, whose family background is actually quite ordinary, inexplicably harbors a sense of superiority. This feeling was always vague in the past, but later, especially after Zhang Xin came to visit, it became particularly intense, leaving Rong Fei with a sense of falling into an abyss. The issue of housing weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain. Since entering university, he had not slept at home, residing instead at his grandmother's place in the suburbs.

The issue of housing weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain. Since entering university, he had not slept at home, residing instead at his grandmother's place in the suburbs. On one hand, there were emotional issues; on the other, he simply could not continue to squeeze onto the same kang with his parents and siblings. For a time, Rong Fei was extremely troubled, but now his mindset has changed significantly, shifting from resentment towards his parents to sympathy. They are among the lowest strata of society. The current gap is not yet apparent, but in ten or twenty years, it will be as different as heaven and earth.

"Oh, isn't this Rong Fei? What are you doing here?" Wang Lin came out of an office, holding a black plastic folder under his arm, smiling as he spoke to Rong Fei

Yes, indeed, it is not good for him to socialize. Your father is just too indulgent with him. However, Xiao Yi is still young; he is only fifteen this year. It is still possible for him to focus on his studies. If he does not pass the exam this year, he can try again next year. Take some time to talk to him.
