Guo Qing

Guo came from a poor family in a remote mountainous area of Guangdong Province. With five younger brothers and elderly parents living only on a senior citizen's allowance, she began practicing taekwondo in the hope of improving her and her family's living conditions. All of the winnings she won from early taekwondo competitions were used to renovate their house. Her father said she was truly the breadwinner of the family. ==Career==
