Public information shows that Chang Yuan was born in a martial arts family. Both his grandfather and father practiced martial arts, and Chang Yuan also practiced martial arts since childhood. Starting in fourth grade, she received combat training. When she was 12 years old, she accidentally saw a boxing match. It was fierce, exciting and full of skills, and she was immediately fascinated. "With my height, I would not be able to practice , taekwondo, . For me, boxing has opened up a new world." Chang Yuan said.

Chang Yuan’s family is very open-minded. They always discuss things with each other and do not put many restrictions on her just because she is a girl. "My dad only asked me three questions. Have you thought about it? Can you persist? Are you still studying?" Chang Yuan was thinking over and over again on the bed. Just 4 years after standing in the boxing ring, Chang Yuan won the women's 51kg gold medal at the World Junior Boxing Championships. Another year later, Chang Yuan won the gold medal in the Youth Olympic Games.

In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Chang Yuan followed the national team. What bothers her is that she was not able to enter the competition as an athlete, but became the sparring partner of the famous general Ren Cancan. "Win the game you lost, earn back the qualification you lost, it's that simple." Her big eyes were full of determination. Later, she won the gold medal at the Jakarta Asian Games and went to the Tokyo Olympics. "I failed to reach the semi-finals and failed to challenge for the medal. That's why I am still here today. I will continue to compete in the Paris Olympics." "Chang Yuan said.

The rules of today's world championships are that each women's boxing game has three rounds, with each round lasting three minutes. This places higher demands on players’ physical fitness and offensive and defensive rhythm. Chang Yuan often pulls his teammates for nine rounds of actual combat. That’s three times the amount of training required for a competition. After three rounds, Chang Yuan's hands would shake violently when she gave her all, but she still persisted. The coach weighed her. After one training session, she sweated 1.5 kilograms. "Physical tiredness can sometimes lead to psychological fatigue and homesickness," Chang Yuan said.

In daily life, Chang Yuan often posts pictures and also likes to put on makeup when he is resting. She said, "This is not a contradiction. Boxing is my profession and my dream. But outside the ring, I am just an ordinary girl. We can do what we like without setting limits for ourselves." Don't look at it I don’t look like a girl on stage, but when I go shopping, I dress up beautifully and look very “girly”.

Today, in the Paris Olympic Games, Chang Yuan was crowned the Olympic boxing champion as he wished. After the game, she said in an interview: "I can only win this gold medal because of the strength of my motherland and the confidence that my motherland has given me."
