It is a surprise to win in the National Games. It's my honor to compete with Olympic champions and world champions. I am so lucky today,
I want to go to Shenzhen or somewhere down south to work as a waitress or in a factory. I don't want to do what my mom does. Life's too tough as a Chinese farmer.
Footwork is the most difficult thing, ... It is hard to balance and difficult to slide into shots.

What I've accomplished for myself is beyond my wildest dreams. What I accomplished for my country is one of my most proud achievements.

I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing.
