His trip to Kazan was 11 , but he enjoys the memory.

It was really hard because we had to 14 ideas for all in such a short time,\" he said.
\"I didn't 15 during the World-Skills trials(预赛), as there were so many experienced and excellent competitors,\" he said. \"But I was always 16 . I think my positive 17 brought me opportunities and the final honor.\"
\"Many of my classmates were pleased after winning medals at the competition, but they lost their 18 . I won the gold medal at the age of 19, but I know that it's not my final 19 .
