The main setter of the Shandong team is Mei Xiao-han 梅笑寒
Shandong team was stronger than I'd have expected in the match against Tianjin, Tianjin narrowly escaped from the defeat. And Song Mei-li had a good match there.
havent really paid attention to her. how about her performance during CVL?
sitenoise .. just revisiting this post.. here are short translations of what the two Macao players said..
Ms Liang An Ying (the one in the photo) “ I am 24 y.o. I graduated from Uni 2 years ago and I am working in the communications and media industry. This is the first time we are playing a Chinese team. I am so happy and excited, just imagine, playing a big star like Ding Xia “
Ms Zhou Jiamin “Volleyball is my passion, I have been playing VB since secondary school. We trained after school. I graduated a year ago and I’m a PE teacher in a school now. The whole school, including the principal encouraged me to participate in this tournament.
It’s an opportunity of a lifetime and I will never forget the experience “
It’s not just the things they say, it’s how they said it and their facial expressions and eyes show their sincerity, and perhaps a sense of fulfilment
The Macao team will be meeting Zhu Ting and the Henan team in a few days time, I suspect the girls will want a few souvenir photos taken with Zhu

Do you mean Mei Xiaohan the setter ? We didn’t get to see much of her during the CVL because for some reason, matches involving the Shandong team were seldom streamed ... I only saw two matches in the round of 6, when they beat Guangdong and then Liaoning. They placed 5th overall. Mei is not very consistent and not as accurate as Ding Xia. If she was, I suspect Shandong could have achieved a higher position, because they do have some good hitters. Her main advantage is her height, around 185cm (6’1”) and her reach. She was an outside hitter before so she will take the occasional swing...which often catches the other side off guard. I will describe her as an attacking setter. She is also more youthful when compared to Ding Xia, Yao Di and Diao Lingyu.
Hope that helps 🙂

OMG - Thank you !!!
"It’s not just the things they say, it’s how they said it and their facial expressions and eyes show their sincerity, and perhaps a sense of fulfilment"
I could see that, and they seemed so grateful to me for the opportunity. That's what really touched me.

I want to add her to volleybox site as a remembrance, but I want to make sure I have her name as correct as I can. I was looking at this article which mentions her and has a picture, purportedly of her:
She is listed as number 11 on the roster there, but the back of her jersey suggests "Leong" as her family name and "O.I." as initials of given name.
What should I do

Liang An Ying sounds like the mainline romanization of pinyin. I'm not sure if Macau uses a different system.
Can't find results of the Fujian/Yunnan match but these were reported on weibo for Round 3
Shandong 2 : 3 Tianjin
Fujian 0 : 0 Yunnan
Shanghai 3 : 0 Beijing
Liaoning 0 : 3 Jiangsu
Hebei 3 : 0 Macau
Zhejiang 3 : 0 Henan
I hope Macau can win at least one set from somebody

Macau and Hong Kong use Cantonese romanization with some differences. Leong is used in Macau, while Leung is used in Hong Kong.

Gosh, Chinese is difficult to americanise 
So should I romanize her as On Ing Leong? Or would the An Ying Liang be better understood by English only people?
你好
"Lay-how-mah-eee-ahh" is the way people around me where I live say "Ni hao"

I think it's up to you, but An Ying Liang sounds as natural as Chang Ning Zhang or Yeon Koung Kim. (Last names go first in China/Korea/Japan)

volleybox uses the "Given name->Family name" formula. Personally, I prefer the name Liang An Ying over Leong On Ing but you gotta respect the jersey. It's the trump card. I can see Leong, but the O.I. part is mysterious. "On Ing" is my guess

I would go with On Ing I guess
btw, I heard that the 8 teams that make the finals will play SRR and the top 4 will play SFs (3/4 vs 1/2 by random draw) and then finals.
Did all the teams get new jersey designs or is it because it's National Games related?
Tianjin are leading Shanghai 2 -0 sets, but are trailing in the third set. ..

aspect ratio looks funny to me. the court is really short and the players are really tall and skinny
Yao Di looks great in this aspect ratio. There's a charm about her
There seems to be no live streaming of the Chinese matches at the moment, so perhaps we can watch some action in the Thai League, Supreme Chonburi vs Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) which features Acharaporn (Supreme) and Chatchu-on (Korat) who are among the top Thai spikers.
