I love badminton. That's my sport!

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.

Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.

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 love winning more than I love playing badminton. Winning is everything.

I don't think I have the ability or patience to teach badminton to others.

I started playing badminton when I was probably of eight years and ever since have been playing. I didn't go to university.

I think badminton has a real legacy with more youngsters taking up the sport. Badminton has done really well in that regard compared to other sports.

I love badminton, and representing China is an honour for me.

Those who play badminton well take decisions quickly.
