Chen Qingchen "met" Foshan at 9

At 9, she entered Shunde Sports School. Back then, her academic performance wasnt good. Thanks to a spirit of "never say never", she was allowed to stay.
"She isnt as good as her fellows at first, but I gave her a chance. She is hard-working, strong-minded, a quick thinker and an effective communicator." said by Zhang Zhiyong, Qingchens coach. As it turned out, Chen lived up to all his expectations during her two years at school and made her way to world champion. Now shes the top player reserved for Womens Badminton Doubles at the coming Tokyo Olympics.
