In 2014, Wei was recalled to the national team by Lang Ping and gained a starting position for the national team which she helped to win the silver medal at the 2014 World Championship. After a successful season with the national team, she took some time off from the domestic league and went to the United States to attend her sore knees which has affected her for a long time with help from Lang Ping. She came back to the national team in 2015 and was part of the Chinese team that won gold medal at the 2015 World Cup.

In 2016, Wei participated at the Summer Olympics where her team won gold by beating Serbia 3-1 in the final. She announced her retirement from the national team right after the award ceremony through CCTV5.
