Tian Zongqi wrote the article "Tian Zongqi: My Mother, I Volleyball" on the WeChat public account of "I Love Volleyball", telling the story of his affinity with volleyball.
"When I was a child, I was in primary school, and I had a black and white TV set at home. At that time, my mother was an absolutely loyal audience in every Chinese women's volleyball match. It seems that people's memories of childhood are fragmentary, but those memories will become permanent memories. The name 'Lai Yawen' was engraved into my mind when I was a child. I have no impression of that game. I only remember my mother praised 'Lai Yawen played well' after the game. From then on, I remember a person named Lai Yawen in the women's volleyball team. "
"I am a fatalist. I always feel that the pieces left by God in my childhood are useful. Indeed, when I grow up, I know all the people I remember. When I know Lai Yawen for guidance because of my working relationship, the innate kindness is self-evident."
"Because of my mother's influence, volleyball became my favorite sport. Even when I was 13 years old, I caught up with Lang Ping's first return to save the depressed Chinese women's volleyball team. At that time, I searched all the news about women's volleyball team in various newspapers and magazines, and found one and enjoyed it. The women's volleyball team participated in the Atlanta Olympic Games and reached the finals all the way. Due to the time difference, a teenager could also stand up and wait for the women's volleyball match every day and night... Later, when the university was nearing graduation, God again took care of me and gave me the opportunity to participate in the CCTV host contest. After entering CCTV, we chose our own sports and knew football well, Basketball is far more promising than volleyball in Qingshui Yamen, with more audiences. But I can't cheat my heart, so I must choose the project I loved from childhood. "
