Career

She was born in Mianyang in 1995 and played table tennis from the age of 5 as it occupied her when she was ill. At nine years old she and her mother moved so that she could train and she made the provincial team when she was twelve. She made the national team when she was fifteen. In addition to her academic studies she trains 9 hours a day leaving little time for her family.[4]
