Chinese volleyball superstar Zhu Ting has inspired a new
English word. "Stay awesome and ZHUperb!" wrote a blogger at a
US-based volleyball website. The word combines "Zhu" and "superb
(卓越的)", to
describe the 27-year-old player.
Zhu's excellent scoring performances put her among the Top
10 Global Outstanding Athletes for this year's Heracles Prize of the Big Ben
Award. As the captain, Zhu "created the new golden age of women's
volleyball in China", the award said. Zhu is considered a national hero by
many in China, with good reason. Before this year's World Cup victory, she
helped the national volleyball team win the 2015 FIVB World Cup, the 2015 Asian
Women's Volleyball Championship, and the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Although she's a superstar now, it hasn't been easy for Zhu
to get to where she is. Born to a farming family in Henan province, Zhu earned
a chance to attend a local sports school at age 13. She became well known to
the public by helping China's U20 team win the 2013 FIVB U20 World
Championship. Shortly after, Zhu joined the national team and began playing
under legendary coach Lang Ping.
At first, the 1. 98-meter-tall Zhu found it difficult to
move quickly and stay balanced. But Lang Ping took advantage of her height and
trained her to jump high and smash balls. Her work paid off. Zhu is now an
outstanding player. "Hard work and talent are equally important. I'll move
forward step by step, " she told People's
Daily.
