New Chayuan Entertainment Center learned yesterday that on the Chinese men's national volleyball team roster, which is not a focal point of external attention, stands out especially due to the inclusion of 20-year-old Ding Hui from Zhejiang. This is because he has 20% African heritage and, in appearance, shows no significant difference from ordinary African blacks. As early as December 15, 2007, when Ding Hui was only 18 years old, he said: "I am not a foreign player; I want to join the national team." Now, he has finally achieved his wish.
