Chinese national women's volleyball team

The Chinese women's team is remarkably tenacious, with a never-say-die spirit worth learning about and emulating.

The unswerving spirit dates back to the 1980s, when China's female team won five consecutive world titles. It has helped the squad regain international dominance after winning the Olympic tournament in 2016 and retaining the World Cup title in 2019.

Having long been considered a source of national pride for the Chinese people, the admirable spirit embodied by the women's team seeped into the country's battle against the COVID-19 pandemic and the poverty eradication.
