Volleyball is more than a game

At an event in New York's Times Square recently, a large crowd celebrated the exploits of Chinese player and coach Lang Ping were celebrated

With winter at its peak, it is hard not to get a dose of the blues even in New York's most crowded landmark, the Times Square. But, two weeks ago on a cloudy, damp, cold evening, and just five days into the New Year, a warm current was spreading there like a flu.

Lang Ping, one of China's volleyball superstars, both as a player and coach, and Wei Qiuyue, one of the women's volleyball team were there together to celebrate Budweiser's New Year at Chinese New Year celebration campaign themed "Be thankful to the people who are always behind us".
