Looking back, what were the most memorable moments of your career?
I think there are a lot of happy moments. It was my own choice to engage in badminton, and I love this sport very much; therefore, some experiences sometimes seem very bitter or difficult, and I would be depressed when I lost a match, but I think I was happy to enjoy the process. The most memorable was the World Championships (2019) quarterfinals against Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi, from various aspects of the game from me personally, or from the competitors, It demonstrated the spirit of sport. A game's biggest benefit is the memory is very deep. For each and every interpretation of what is sport, what is the spirit, we have to go all out, go beyond limits, never give up, this spirit is the most profound in my memory.
