"When I was growing up, it was just in time for Rong Guotuan to win the first world championship for China. The luckiest thing in my life was to be associated with table tennis and experience it personally. Football has been prosperous in China for 60 years. I have no chance to become a member of a professional team, but I feel that I am with the athletes every day, and I feel that I am fighting on the field every day. How lucky this is!
