According to some rumors, Sun Yan (S), Ni Fei-fan (L) and Cao Ting-ting (MB) may, only may join the training camp of NT. Yan Ni (MB) will have a rest.
The rumors are too many and I don't know which ones are right or wrong.
In the second phase of the national training, there were some player mutations:
- Mei Xiao-han (setter from Shandong) OUT
- Ni Fei-fan (libero from Jiangsu) OUT
- Sun Yan (setter from Jiangsu) IN
- Zhang Qian (MB from Shandong) IN * NEW
Born in 1997, Zhang Qian 张倩 is 1.93-meter tall. She is dubbed as xiao (little) Yanni. She and Yang Hanyu have a tacit understanding in the Shandong women's volleyball team, which is very good.
Zhang Qian's good future in the national team can possibly be expected. One shouldn't underestimate Lang Ping's vision. Zhang is tall and has long arms and good bounce. This is an excellent condition for a volleyball player. If she has good understanding, she may grow into a great player with some training. Zhu, Yuan, Zhang are the good examples! At first no one paid attention at them in the beginning, but under Lang's supervision and nurture they're quickly turned from the uncut jades into the shiny, precious ones!

Probably go home rest for sometime before heading to their clubs and preparing for the new season. I think it's rumored to start in October.
There is still some unknown about the upcoming season. Was hoping you or Tomen would have info about rosters, schedule, etc.

In October, it should be that "2020年全国锦标赛" (National Championship 2020), a cup tournament will be held.
This is confirmed by Li Jing, the former OH of Chinese NT from 2014 to 2017.
She said, "马上就能看到女排的比赛了。(We'll see the new women's volleyball match soon)"

The Chinese NT have finally concluded their training for this year.
In above family picture of 17 players, with Zhang Qian (MB) and Sun Yan (setter); minus Yan Ni, Zeng Chunlei, Mei Xiaohan (setter).
Then in below family picture of the Chinese women's volleyball team, on vacation at the Great Wall, there are 18 players: with Yan Ni, Zeng Chunlei, Mei Xiaohan, yet minus Zhang Qian and Sun Yan.
Recently, the Chinese women's volleyball team has finished the second phase of training. NEXT, waiting for the women's volleyball girls will be a HOLIDAY and the subsequent women's volleyball Super League.
Basically there are 21 players of the Chinese women's volleyball team as the wide list under inspection:
5 OH: Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Liu Xiaotong, Li Yingying, and Liu Yanhan
7 MB: Yuan Xinyue, Yan Ni, Wang Yuanyuan, Hu Mingyuan, Yang Hanyu, Zhang Qian, and Zheng Yixin
5 Setters: Diao Linyu, Ding Xia, Yao Di, Sun Yan, and Mei Xiaohan
2 OP: Gong Xiangyu and Zeng Chunlei
2 Libero: Wang Mengjie and Lin Li
These 21 Chinese women's volleyball players will be the main roster for inspection this year, and are the framework of the team. But there is still one year away from the Tokyo Olympics. There are still hopeful stars in the league, and everyone has a chance.

So , is this it for team China for 2020 ?

So , is this it for team China for 2020 ?
well, none of the NTs had any real events for 2020 due to covid. Now the players are in their provincial teams and there is the domestic championships (which is normally played by non-NT players in provincial teams) and superleague
You can see more about the domestic championships here. I expect that it will feature the regular NT players (e.g. Zhu Ting, Ding Xia, Zhang Changning, etc)

Sorry if this is a bit random but just saw news that the movie about the Chinese WVT is going to be released on 25 Sept. The English name is "Leap".
It's about the Chinese WVT's experience from 1981 World Cup champions all the way to 2016 Rio Olympics.
Cast includes Gong Li (super famous Chinese actress) as coach Lang Ping, Lydia Bai (Lang Ping's daughter) as player Lang Ping.
Most of the Rio squad are acting as their own characters. It's not a documentary but a movie so I'm sure there'll be some drama and not so realistic elements. Nonetheless, I thought it'll be interesting to see the players acting. Here's a trailer and one of the movie OST MVs.

The first day premiere of "Winning the Championship" (formerly known as "Chinese Women's Volleyball") movie at box office, the spirit of women's volleyball moved the fans. The film is based on the China women's national volleyball team's stories spread over more than 40 years.
As a sports-themed film, "Winning the Championship" of course, there is no lack of intense and intense competition scenes. The film focuses on three wonderful volleyball matches, namely, the match between China and Japan in the third Women's Volleyball World Cup in 1981, the China vs. USA match in Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, and China vs. Brazil match in Rio Olympics in 2016, which also connected the development process of Chinese women's volleyball team in nearly 40 years. At the same time, there are many literary plays in the film, which depict the mental process of Lang Ping and other folks and the intergenerational inheritance of Chinese women's volleyball team, and there is no lack of contemporary thinking on "Women's Volleyball Spirit".
