After the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Wang Chunlu once said: "Years of work experience have taught me to persevere, give, understand and tolerate. The nature of my work leads to frequent business trips, rarely being able to take care of my family and children, and sometimes when I come home from a business trip and my two-year-old daughter calls herself aunt, I shed tears of family guilt. But in the end, when I faced four golden Olympic gold medals, I felt that everything I did was worth it, and it was worth sacrificing everything for the good of the country. ”

With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics approaching, continuing to popularize China's mass ice and snow sports and striving to achieve the grand goal of "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" has become Wang Chunlu's primary task, and she is willing to dedicate her life to China's sports cause, to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and to realize the dream of China's sports power.
