On April 28, a piece of good news spread throughout the country - the All-China Federation of Trade Unions unveiled the 2022 National May Day Labor Award and National Workers' Pioneer List. China's women's football coach Shui Qingxia won the National May Day Labor Medal, and the women's football team was also honored as the National Workers' Pioneer. Facing the interview of the New Beijing News, Shui Qingxia was overwhelmed with emotion: "I didn't expect that we could get such an honor, and I'm really very grateful, especially thanks to the support and affirmation from all walks of life to our women's football team after the Asian Cup."
This National May 1st Labor Medal was a pleasant surprise for Shui Qingxia: "I really didn't expect that not many people in the sports sector would be awarded this honor in the past. I feel very excited and full of gratitude. After the Asian Cup, we got more attention and support."
After the setbacks of the Tokyo Olympics and winning the Asian Cup, our women's soccer team has once again proved its strength. The honor of Workers' Pioneer is not only the highest recognition for the team, but also inspires the whole team to be firm in their confidence and to create another success.
Shui Qingxia said, "The Chinese women's soccer team in the new era should shoulder the mission of the new era, carry forward the national spirit, and let the whole country see the spirit of struggle and positive attitude shown by the young generation on the sports field."
