Began skating at age three in Guomao. "I went shopping with my mom and then there happened to be an ice rink, and I started to learn skating because it’s so boring to shop with my mom. As figure skating didn’t really appeal to me, I began to pursue ice hockey instead." (pandaily.com, 31 Oct 2019)

Play in the NHL. "After the 2022 Winter Olympics, I would try to get into NHL, because the Winter Olympics is a world stage, where many people from NHL would pay attention to us.

POST-CAREER PLANS
"I will definitely want to go to college afterwards. It’s never too late to study, but ice hockey is a young man’s game. So at least I could play hockey while I’m still young, and it is not too late to go to school even at 30." (pandaily.com, 31 Oct 2019)
