Medal record Women's Athletics Representing  China Olympic Games 1992 Barcelona 1500 m World Championships 1993 Stuttgart 3000 m World Junior Championships 1990 Plovdiv 1500 m

At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona she won a bronze medal in 1500 m.

On 9 November 1993 she set the world record in the 1500 metres at 3:50.46 minutes[1] while running in the National Games of China in Beijing. The record stood 22 years, until broken on 17 July 2015, by Genzebe Dibaba who was the only non-Chinese athlete to seriously challenge the mark during that period.

She won the 3000 metres at the 1993 World Championships in Athletics, setting what will likely be the permanent Championship Record in the event due to women switching to the 5,000 metres distance beginning in 1995.
