After a year, she started to do competition and she has been winning all the competition and All of a sudden, she told me she wanted to be an Olympian. So I started to look into it and then tried to find her national coach and all that.
Yes. Well, it's a roller coaster of emotions. I feel scared. At the same time, I feel very proud. We were like, should we continue or not? Should we give up or not? And then performance will surprise you. And it makes me feel there is a hope. I told her, do you want to give up? No. Okay. So I asked her many times.
If this is what she wants, we'll go for it.
Her father called me and she was like, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, what happened? I thought she had an accident, you know? And he was like, she finished! I burst into tears and I cannot believe she can finally get it done. It was unbelievable. You must be so proud of her. Yes, very proud.
Each week, either me or my husband take her to training in China and then it's like five to six hours each way on her high-speed train. It's a huge commitment.
I always tell her, you can be what you want to be. So no matter what you say you want to be, and I will fully support you.
