废墟中坚持28小时

“我一定要活下来”

2008年汶川地震，14岁的唐雪梅左腿被压，被困在坍塌的教学楼里，坚持了28个小时。她回忆道，“当我掉下去的那一瞬间，我脑子里就想着我不能死掉，我一定要活下来。”

Whenthe 2008 Wenchuan earthquakestruck, 14-year-old Tang Xuemeiwas trapped in a collapsed school building for 28 hourswith her left leg stuck. She recalls, "The moment I fell, the only thought in my mind was that I had to survive."

被救出时，唐雪梅腿部伤势严重，必须立即截肢才能保住性命。

When she was rescued, Tang Xuemei's leg was severely injured and had the amputation.

手术后，她装上了假肢。为了让自己看上去和普通人一样，她拼命练习，别人一天穿戴假肢三个小时，她就穿六个小时，磨破了再贴创可贴。“从安上假肢以后，就再也不需要拐杖了，离拐这样走，感觉走路都是开心的。”

After the amputation, she was fitted with a prosthetic leg. To make herself appear like a normal person, she practiced relentlessly. While others wore their prosthetics for three hours a day, she wore hers for six, despite the wound caused byfriction. "Thanks to theprosthetic, I no longer needed crutches. I felt happy about every step I took."

第一次出国参加世界级比赛

她说“就一个字，冲”！

2009年，在上海的康复中心，唐雪梅第一次接触到坐式排球。她很快喜欢上了这项运动，决定留在排球队。

In 2009, Tang Xuemei first came across sitting volleyballat a rehabilitation center in Shanghai. She quickly fell in love withthatand decided to stay on the team.

唐雪梅首先要通过第一个月的挑战。“爬篮球场，一堂课要在规定时间里完成十圈，属于很高强度训练了。”唐雪梅回忆，刚开始训练每个月都要换2至3条裤子，裤子磨破后里面的肉都被磨出了茧子，手上也青一片紫一片。

Inthe first month,"we had to crawling around the basketball courtforten roundsin a given time, it was a very intense training." Tang recalled that atthe beginning, she had to change 2 to 3 pairs of pants each month, as they were worn out bythe training. Her skin formed calluses and her hands were bruised.

此后，唐雪梅入选坐式女排国家队，成为主攻手。她第一次出国参加的世界级比赛是美国世锦赛。

Later, Tang Xuemei was selected intothe national sitting volleyball team and became a main attacker. Her first international competition was the World Championships in the United States.

当时16岁的唐雪梅还只是一名替补队员，让她没想到的是，在对阵美国的冠亚军决赛中，教练把她换上去发球。“上去以后，就是一个字，冲！那一场下来我还得了最佳发球手。”

At thattime, 16-year-old Tang Xuemei was just a substitute player. To her surprise, she was sent on to serve during the championship final against the United States. "Once I was on, there was only one ideain my mind —come on! I even won the best server in that match."

最终，中国女子坐式排球队以8战全胜的战绩，夺得2010年世界坐式排球锦标赛冠军，并获得2012年伦敦残奥会的参赛资格。“我站在领奖台上，国旗升起的时候，那一刻眼泪不自觉地流。”

Eventually, the Chinese Women's Sitting Volleyball Team won the 2010 World Sitting Volleyball Championship with a record of 8 victories, and qualified for the 2012 London Paralympics. "I stood on the podium, and couldn't help but tear upwhen the national flag was raised."

2012年9月7日，中国队与美国队在伦敦残奥会坐式排球决赛场上狭路相逢，中国队以3:1的大比分赢得冠军。

On September 7, 2012, the Chinese team beat the United States 3:1 in the sitting volleyball final at the London Paralympics.

“伴着阳光生长”

她正积极备战杭州亚运会

2021年，东京残奥会中国女子坐式排球队负于美国队获得银牌。谈起这场比赛，唐雪梅说虽然很遗憾，但“失败是正常的，这一届输了，明年我们还来”。敢赢不怕输，才是体育的魅力所在。

In 2021, the Chinese Women's Sitting Volleyball Team won the silver medal at the Tokyo Paralympics, losing to the United States. Speaking of the match, Tang Xuemei was a bit pitiful, but "losing is normal, we lost this year, but we will come back next year". The charm of sports lies in the courage to win and the fearlessness to lose.

目前，唐雪梅正在积极备战杭州亚运会。

Currently, Tang Xuemei is actively preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

如今，她已经能很自信地穿着短裤上街，她说自己想穿什么就穿什么，假肢露在外面也无所谓。

Now, she walkson the streetwearing shorts confidently.She says thatshewearswhatever she wants and doesn't care if her prosthetic leg is exposed.

唐雪梅说，“很早以前我做不到，但这一路过来，我伴着很多阳光在生长。”

Tang Xuemei says, "There was a period when I couldn't made it, but I have grown better underthe sunshine."
