In 1977, she was accepted into the Fujian team, and two years later, at the age of 16, she made her debut in the Chinese team , having won the Asian Championship . Zheng Meizhu's next challenge to the national team occurred in 1982, when a young volleyball player took part in the World Championships in Peru and was among those who brought their country the first “gold” of the world championships.
