First it was another 4 years, then I think more of it was going through more of this stress and finally letting it go.
Because there are indeed many people who are following us, and hope that we can be at the door of Beijing by ourselves, and then win the second gold, defend the title, and then be more excited. I think it is because I have seen their growth.

I just want to talk to more friends and disabled friends and say, come on!
5 of us can do it, everyone can do it.
I hope that friends with disabilities can also come out, face the society, continue to challenge themselves, and overcome themselves.

After 14 days of quarantine, I hope I can see my son and my little walnut at first sight when I go home, because I really miss him very much. We go home twice in 4 years, and then walk past him. Knowing me, I am not a good mother, but I hope he can see that his mother is the best, after all, I still have a small family for everyone, and this year we have achieved it.
