I am also a professional athlete. From our perspective, he may learn things very fast, and he is very courageous in skiing. He will try to imitate him if he teaches him some movements or does something new.

No matter what kind of illness or injury, he didn't have any feeling of retreat. This is the main reason why he can walk today.

He also hoped that Su Yiming would have an international vision, and recommended him to the Japanese coach Yasuhiro Sato, which eventually led to the "father of master and apprentice" between the two.
