"She has set an example for us in training every day. I learned from her to have a strong mentality and being devoted and attentive in everyday training."

Speaking of the fierce competition within the team to make the 12-strong roster for Tokyo 2020, Liu was ready and determined to make it.

"I think it's normal to go through a fierce competition [for the national squad selection]. Positive competitions make us better to match the top players from all over the world. As for me, I love playing volleyball and I have been trying to improve myself and catch up with them. I will discover my weaknesses and try to fix them," Liu said.

"In a word, I will keep my eyes focused on my goal and fight for it," she concluded.

Liu, who can speak fluent English, has been enjoying her time at the military games. "I like communicating with players from other countries, learning about different understandings on the sport and different cultures. I find that's very interesting," Liu added.
