My Journey
10 Years, One Rep at a Time
The gym found me when I was at my lowest. When everything felt heavy and hollow, the pounding heartbeat during a deadlift reminded me I was still alive. I felt reborn, one rep at a time.
Five years of training led me here. I joined Keep, China's top fitness tech company — not just for the role, but because their mission felt personal: make the world move. For the first time, my work and my lifestyle were the same thing. Turning what I believed in into a product felt like a privilege.
Started basketball at 30. Zero experience, zero regrets. I learned that strength is only one dimension of fitness. And something else clicked: moving with people hits differently than moving alone.
Strength was never the whole story. Basketball showed me how much I'd been missing — coordination, agility, the ability to actually move. So I left bodybuilding behind and walked into my first CrossFit class.
CrossFit wasn't just a training shift. It was a community — people cheering for the last person to finish just as loud as the first. I didn't expect to find that.
Football in the Netherlands, with a team of Chinese girls who rarely had the chance to play. Back home, football pitches were always claimed by the boys. Here, we built something from scratch together. We even competed in the National Cup as Team China and Team Asia.
When I stood on the competition court with only months of experience, I told myself: being here, starting this sport at all, is already a win.
Football taught me that your teammate's goal feels just as good as your own. Like the best product teams: individual impact matters, but collective momentum is something else entirely.
No competition medals. No PRs broken lately. My deadlift position is still a work in progress. Gymnastics movements? Most of them still locked.
I may never compete at the top level. I may spend years chasing the same movement, clumsy and persistent in equal measure.
But I show up. Week after week, year after year.
日复一日，持之以恒.
That's always been the whole point.
