"At first I was a roller skater. But in 2009, they built a new ice rink in Qingdao, which is near my hometown, and over the next couple of years I spoke to my father about switching to short track because I liked it more. It's faster, more thrilling, and there's a lot more technique to it, such as the overtaking. By 2011, I had officially switched to short track."
