I started playing badminton when I was probably of eight years and ever since have been playing. I didn't go to university.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Both my parents were amateur badminton players. My father is a scientist and wanted me to be a doctor. But my mom was very aggressive and loved badminton. She pushed me right from the age of nine to take up the sport.
When I was a kid, my parents would play badminton, but I hardly joined them. I'd just pick up their racquets and fiddle around. Check out how the racquet was made... toss it around to see how light it was! At the time, I didn't even know I'd play badminton.
I don't think I have the ability or patience to teach badminton to others.
My parents told me either I choose badminton, or school has to make the best of me.
Sometimes I play cricket, and I play badminton.
I love badminton. That's my sport!
I love badminton, and representing China is an honour for me.
I played sports in high school and in college.
I played volleyball for the greater part of my life, since I was 11 or 12 years.
Even though I played national level badminton, I told my parents when I was in 10th that I was not interested in continuing. Being a model or actor fascinated me from a young age, and I even did a couple of ads when I was just eight years old.
