After playing against Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, Hirano Also realized that they would become each other's opponents for some time to come. In the face of such a future, Hirano Said: "I want to become the world's first, I want to beat the Chinese players, beat the other players, I want to cheer up, and become the world champion in the future." ”

For Hirano's ambitions, many netizens said that it is good to have a dream, but it may be "only a dream"; others say that she may need to beat her teammates in Japan first.
However, there are also many people who believe that soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers, and as athletes, having such a belief also helps to improve themselves.
