Despite facing a demanding travel schedule from Canada to Suzhou, Li remains undeterred. She acknowledges the challenges but refuses to use them as excuses for her performances.

With her sights set on qualifying for her fourth successive Olympic Games at Paris 2024, Li has assembled a team to support her journey. She emphasizes the importance of analysis and preparation before each match, ensuring readiness regardless of her opponent.
In the second round, Li will face Pornpawee Chochuwong. Although they last played in 2019, Li holds a 2-1 head-to-head lead. However, she doesn’t dwell on past encounters, recognizing Chochuwong’s recent strong performances and regarding her as a top player. Li is committed to being fully prepared for whatever challenges her opponent brings.
