Knowing that I had the idea of retiring, leaders at all levels of the Henan Sports Bureau, the State General Administration of Sports and the national team were very concerned and communicated with me many times, enlightened and encouraged me. In the past two years, my mentor has encouraged me to return to the national team and continue to fight for the country, and she has helped me analyze my physical and technical problems many times when I was at my lowest point, and urged me to strengthen my physical training. Driven by various forces, I dispelled the idea of retiring, strengthened my physical training, improved my athletic performance, and the improvement of my form gave me confidence, and I gradually walked out of the trough. Now I feel physically and mentally ready, so today I officially confirmed my return to the national team and play for my country again.
