No more fear. The Iron Hammer is here. Lang Ping has become the newly appointed Chinese women’s national volleyball coach.
For the past four years, Chinese women's volleyball has been plagued by frustrating international results, frequent coach reshuffles, numerous injuries and a shortage of talent.
Volleyball was the first sport in which China succeeded on a global scale and was widely followed in the 1980s.
A prolonged slump might finally be coming to an end though, as Lang Ping was appointed head coach of the Chinese women's national team for the second time.
Known as the "Iron Hammer", Lang was the country's best-known volleyball icon and a symbol of the "never-say-die" spirit of the team in its heyday. She has been the favorite for the coaching post since the sports authority unveiled its four candidates on April 15. Her return is expected to bring attention and confidence back to the sport. Sina.com, more than 70 percent of participants said they believe Lang will lead women's volleyball back to the top flight internationally.
Lang's appeal among Chinese volleyball players is also expected to boost the current national lineup, which has several veterans who are planning to retire. National team player Wei Qiuyue, who was going to retire after the National Games in September, said she is ready to play for the national team for as long as needed now that Lang is the coach.
"Lang's rich coaching experiences give her quite a bit of familiarity with her opponents' strategy and character," Wei said. "She was also an outstanding athlete, which makes it easier for her to understand the feelings and mentality of the players."Who is “the Iron Hammer”?

In life，everyone once struggles for a dream，whether it's successful or not．I still clearly remember one day when I was in high school，I saw on a website that China's Got Talent's mass﹣election （海选）for the best singers was going on．I was very excited and decided to go and try out．But it wasn't as easy as I had thought．When I got there，I saw at least 100 people already waiting in line．My hands started to sweat and shake as my turn got close．I got up and started singing，but I sang so badly that I stopped before I even finished the song．Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my friends and walked home crying．I thought that I would never be able to show my face in public again．
However，after about a year，that terrible experience became a funny memory．I realized that I didn't need to care about losing that dream，because I made a new and more realistic one．I'm good at English，as well as other subjects．I made it my goal to get accepted into Columbia University．Columbia is hard to get into，and about 1，300 students from all over the world are accepted every year．Though it is hard to get into，I think my dream will come true someday by working hard!

A quick and easy way to get to different places in the city is to take an underground train．The London underground is one of the best and most widely used transport networks（网状组织）in the world．The trains run all day and most of the night．（83）You'd better not take the underground between eight o'clock and ten o'clock in the morning，or four o'clock and six o'clock in the afternoon．（84）The trains are so crowded that you can hardly move or find a place to sit．

However，sometimes her memories prove （证明） to be painful．Because they're not just events that she remembers．"When I relive （再体验） memories，the feelings return，too，"Rebecca said．"For example，I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee．Talking about it now，I feel painful in my left knee．"
