"A revolutionary is always young, she is like a pine tree that is evergreen in winter and summer." With this old lyrics, it is just right to describe her. I was really surprised to see Yuan Defeng, the widow of Dai Tingbin, the godfather of the Chinese men's volleyball team, the former Fujian women's youth and Fubu women's volleyball coach, and the veteran Chinese women's volleyball team player trained by Omatsu in Japan. She took a group photo with the apprentices of the Fubu women's volleyball team, who were more than ten years apart, and they couldn't see each other! Therefore, the author believes that even though there are thousands of reasons for longevity, there are thousands of ways to live a long life! At the end of the day, it's right to be open-minded. In Coach Yuan Defeng, I saw a warm and unchanging smile, and my heart was far away and calm. Its spirit is there, and the sun, moon and stars remain the same! Optimistic and broad-minded...

When Dasong trained the Chinese women's volleyball team, he once beat and scolded many players, but Yuan Defeng, who was good at dealing with comprehensive skills, made the harsh Dasong quite praised, which was a unique miracle and was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while. Counting on her fingers, Coach Yuan Defeng is 80 years old, she transferred the national team from the Shenyang women's volleyball team, and after becoming a couple with the famous Dai Tingbin, she went to the Fujian women's volleyball team with her husband to play the main team, and then went to the women's volleyball team of the Fuzhou Military Region as a coach and player. She is already a mother who holds the baby, and she is still wearing it. As soon as she made a move, she helped the team win third place in the whole army. At that time, she suffered a serious sports injury, and she was frightened to see her pumping knee effusion in the infirmary. After retiring from the army, she also contracted a serious illness and underwent surgery. However, everything does not affect its face of reality and laughter on life.
In the era of national players, women are powerful!

Half a century after the establishment of the men's and women's platoon of the Fuzhou Military Region, Coach Yuan Defeng happily went. In her heart, a volleyball career is a lifelong dream. She is like an ungrateful volleyball flower, and like a star of eternal elves. The wind, frost, snow and rain in the north have soaked her water spirit; gave birth to her understanding and gave birth to her talent. In the Chinese women's volleyball team, she belongs to the technical stream. Some people say that whenever it appears on the volleyball court, it seems that it is not watching a game, but watching a performance; It's not a competition between you and me, but a show of long-sleeved dancing! Watching the battle, you can make people feel her domineering spirit of the northerners and the delicacy of the southerners. It's a pity that the flame of her athletic youth was extinguished because of the suspension of training during the Cultural Revolution...
The love between master and apprentice is deep

Perhaps, this is the beauty of mutilation. When she was in love, with the straightforwardness and generosity of northern women, she wholeheartedly followed Dai Tingbin to marry Qin and Jin. North women marry in the south, from bustling Beijing to Fujian Rongcheng, from the national team to the Fujian women's volleyball team. In order to support the construction of the women's volleyball team in the military region, she put on a military uniform and took the lead without regrets. Originally, you could settle down and teach your husband and children. How many people envy Coach Dai Tingbin: "Without any bride price, you can marry a beautiful northern bride, and bring back an absolute main player for Fujian." In the early seventies, she and Dai Tingbin both taught, and the two of them recruited students in Bafu, this beautiful scenery! It is known as the golden boy and girl in the volleyball world, talented men and handsome women, handsome guys and beauties!

In 1981, Chen Yaqiong, the world's first champion player of the Chinese women's volleyball team, was a student recruited by Yuan Defeng after he arrived in Fujian. Gold medal coach Chen Zhonghe once said affectionately: "Without the support and help of Coach Dai and Teacher Yuan, I would not be where Chen Zhonghe is today!" Chen Shi, a talented man in the Fubu men's volleyball team and former president of the state-owned provincial bank, once described, "Teacher Yuan is like a phoenix, always spreading his wings and guarding all the female disciples he has taught desperately!" Whoever can be a student, three lives are lucky. Disciple Li Hua saw the two of them walking side by side and entering the campus to select people: "I am very shocked and envious!" Such a pair of volleyball teachers are a match made in heaven. ”

Later, Yuan Defeng staged another scene of husband and wife singing and wife sketches: transferred back to Beijing, served as the leader of the Chinese Go team, and reunited with her husband, who was the coach of the Chinese men's volleyball team at the time. When the Chinese men's volleyball team triggered the slogan of "revitalizing China", she was a great woman behind the successful man, a volleyball goddess. From north to south, from south to north. With hard work, hard work, hard work, he raised a man and a woman for the father of the Chinese men's volleyball team. The Chinese volleyball world recounts the contribution of this family. There will always be beautiful legends about you. Indeed, revolutionaries are always young, and I wish Coach Yuan Defeng a long life, always happy, happy, auspicious and healthy!
