People call the Chinese diving（跳水）team a “dream team”. It has been a world-class team since the days of Fu Mingxia back in the early1990s. It still has a bright future these days with Quan Hongchan, 14, a new diving star.

Quan was the youngest member of the Chinese team at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but she wowed the world by getting perfect 10s three times to win the women’s 10-meter dive.

However, it takes more than just interest for a beginner to become successful. “If I stop training for a day or two, I feel scared when I get back on the 10-meter board. A diver needs to practice every day and try her best every day,” she added.

In fact, Quan was born in a poor family in Guangdong in 2007. Her mother was badly ill and she worried about her very much. She decided to do all her best for her mother even when she was at an early age, which touched people all around China.
