Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.

Badminton is a cruel sport.

I love badminton, and representing China is an honour for me.

It is hard to compete with other sports. Badminton is a sport which, when compared with football and tennis, still needs promotion.

Before I turned 30, through a lot of hard work and support, I won many badminton titles. But after turning 30, Lin Dan should change that mindset and start in a new direction and do things that are more meaningful.

Of course, in China, there's already plenty of people who like badminton. I'm hoping more foreigners, Americans, and other countries can get into this sport.
