The women's national volleyball team of China has a glorious history of capturing the number one title5times successively in the sports history since the P.R.China has be established. As a result, every time the ardent love for the country of the Chinese people and their loyalty to the nation could be aroused by the victory of the team. As well, the team's spirit has become the spiritual values of the whole country and even our nation。With the argument of the identification theory and the construction theory, the research text from 《Sports Daily》 and the study object of the reports on the five successive champions during the year1981to1986, this article analyses the accomplishment of the construction of national identification through the construction of the methods of Meanwhile, the construction of national identification has been accomplished through the construction of community identity of the Chinese nation as well as the construction of the portrayal and spread of the spirit which can be summed as indomitable combat and scale the heights with courage. It has played a great role in driving4modernizations in the1980's. The construction of national identification is a significant function not only in the reports on the five successive champions but also in those major international reports of the sports field.But the procedure of using this report of building this national/ethnic identity remains limitations.

That leads to a lack of human spirit and other kinds of sports report. It makes the reports language pan-politicization. At the same time, it would cause narrow-minded nationalism and patriotism in its audiences.
