| Being a super woman means she endures more sufferings than other people. Actually, she had overcome greater difficulties in her Pingpong career. She is only 150 cm in height and this prevented her from joining the provincial Pingpong team. In her early years, nobody believed that she would be a genius of table tennis. In fact, her talented Pingpong skills were due to her astonishing endeavor and perseverance. Her deeds exemplifies Chinese people's Olympic spirit. |
