She is currently following a large group of people to the Turkish capital of Ankara, but a strong aftershock of 6.3 magnitude has also struck Ankara, which is making Li Jiayue a bit uncomfortable at the moment.

Some netizens were quick to remind Li Jiayue that we must stay safe, report safety at all times, and prepare helmets, bandages, water and other supplies in case of aftershocks.
Li Jiayue is currently with the team, the Turkish Galatasaray women's soccer team, a very good team in Europe, with not only Turkish players, but also foreigners from South Africa, Serbia, Georgia and other countries.
