At China's annual two sessions, Olympic champion Yang Yang shared how sports transformed her life and empowered generations of women. Growing up in a small town in Northeast China, she never imagined that sports would take her to the global stage. "Sports didn't just open my eyes to the world," she said.
Reflecting on the achievements of Chinese female athletes in the Olympics and world championships, Yang emphasized that their success goes beyond medals.
As the world marks International Women's Day, Yang calls on women everywhere to bravely be their most authentic selves, be fearless, and pursue their dreams.
