Her father played basketball and her mother played volleyball. "Basketball or volleyball is not my thing. I just like the feeling of jumping high, and pole vault is the sport that interests me most. It took me nearly four years before I could actually clear a bar. I think being a slow starter is not a bad thing since it gave me more time to polish the essential techniques." (IAAF, 17 Mar 2015)

"It is not simply running or jumping. It is a very sophisticated and interesting event. I never feel bored in the pole vault. When you take off you can feel the elasticity of the pole that ejects you. When you cross the bar, falling down while seeing it stay up there, that feeling is so amazing." (IAAF, 17 Mar 2015)

In 2012 she received the Determined Spirit Award in the People's Republic of China. (sports, 07 Dec 2012)
