In the face of the crowd's love and care, Qiu Fangfang said, "The moment I learned about the results of the Kunming test, the team leaders and every teammate paid extremely high attention to it. They quickly arranged for a plane ticket to take me back to Shanghai, and contacted my husband to arrange for me to go to Ruijin Hospital for treatment. After I was diagnosed, they immediately arranged for me to be hospitalized, all of which I am deeply grateful for. In the ten years I have spent with the team, we are like a family, and everything the team has done for me has been a strong support for me to face my illness bravely. When my sisters learned of my diagnosis, they contacted my husband to donate money for me, which touched my heart. I'm going to take the support of my sisters and get back to health as soon as possible."
Qiu Fangfang is not only a "mom player" on the court, but her boyfriend, basketball coach Lin Yadong, proposed to her on the court at the end of the 2018 tournament, and the two walked into the marriage hall hand in hand. After giving birth, Qiu Fangfang returned to the court in 2020. "Getting married and having children, which is my responsibility as a mother, does not conflict with my soccer career. I expressed to my coach during my pregnancy that I would return after giving birth to my child, and I chose to stick to it because of my love." On Mother's Day this year, she has expressed her desire to play until she is 80 and hopes to be selected to play for her country again.
Japanese 20-year-old swimmer Rikako Ikee, who had been suffering from leukemia in 2019, went through hospitalization, treatment, losing a lot of weight, being discharged from the hospital, rejoining training, competing, and even winning championships, and ultimately qualifying to compete in the Tokyo Olympics in the relay races in a period of 783 days. Qiu Fangfang knows something about Rikako Ikee's story and said, "As an athlete, I admire people like that. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me, and I will follow her example and take active treatment to overcome leukemia soon."
