On her rise to the top, the Henan Huishang centre-back stated that her love for the game started at a very tender age.

“When I was five, I would say I just loved playing and the guys in my compound would always want to have me around them,” she said in her Instagram video.

“[At 10] I started seeing a kind of seriousness in the game because then I play for my school team and we always have this inter-house sports in our school and we have different sports.

“When I was 15, I started seeing more seriousness in the game because I was the captain of the team in my secondary school and I think then, it was getting really interesting and serious because then we have more female who wanted to play football.

“When I was 20, when I finished my secondary school and after my secondary, immediately I got a call from a professional team in my country.” (Goal)
