"The beauty of extreme sports lies in pushing my limits while experiencing the majesty of nature and my own insignificance. Each climb becomes a self-discovery journey pushing boundaries."
"My inspiration is Wang Qiuyang, the first Chinese woman to complete the '7+2' challenge. Her journey convinced me that women can thrive in extreme sports."
"To every adventurous girl: Do not let gender define your limits. Pursue your dreams with unyielding courage. No matter the obstacles, persistence will carve your path to summits once thought unreachable. We, too, belong on icy ridges and sunlit rock faces, showing the world our strength and grace."
"When it comes to stereotypes and bias, here's my take: I've faced a lot of negativity and prejudice. But honestly, I don't let these biases bother me. I'm not playing for them, I'm playing for myself. As long as I stay true to myself, that's all that matters."
"I believe the strength of women lies in their self-confidence and self-worth. In the esports industry, we're proving that this space isn't just for men — women are here, shining just as brightly."
"To girls who want to join esports, here's my advice: Without compromising your studies, dare to pursue your dreams boldly! To all the girls gaming out there: Don't set limits for yourselves. We can achieve anything we set our minds to."
"In the field of MMA, I have seen many excellent fighters, such as our Chinese fighters Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, who are now world-class athletes. They've given me a lot of strength. I'm inspired to learn from these exceptional fighters."
"My goal in terms of competition is to win my UFC debut. I have been preparing for it, and my coach and my team — the China Catch Wrestling club in Kunming — have been helping me improve. In terms of my medical career, I also strive for excellence, such as obtaining a higher professional title."
