General
FROM PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA TO FRANCE
Born in Zhengzhou, People's Republic of China, she moved to France at age 18 in order to advance her table tennis career. "At age 18 I made the decision of going to Europe. My father was not for it but my mother encouraged me to make the move. A player that my mother used to train was playing in Hennebont [France]. It was her who found me a team in France, Saint-Berthevin Saint-Loup. I was welcomed by the club's president and his family as their own daughter. They accommodated me during a year and helped me to adapt." She gained French citizenship in 2011 and began representing France in 2018. "I had thought about being in the national team several times, but after the birth of my son I was not ready for that. In 2018 I was approached again and asked if I was interested in joining the Olympic project. I finally accepted as I had always had the Olympic Games inside my head. It would be a great honour and pride to compete representing the French colours." (France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine YouTube channel, 22 Apr 2018; tennis2table.com, 12 Feb 2020)
