She began to play table tennis since 1994-July
Coach Wang (a coach in a school) persuded her parents to put her
in coach's home and practice table tennis about 6 hours every day, the training
is so hard because she played on standing and so boring that
she ran away to home once, but her parents sent her back again.
She like table tennis a little now, because she has got many champions
and prize from FESPIC championships and Paralympics.
Coach Wang arranged every thing for her, that she has had no any problem
in training.

First, put the ball at the good place,
Second, catch the chance to strike,
