CHANGCHUN, June 1 (Xinhua) -- The thunderous roar of engine fills the air as Liu Xinrui rides her racing motorcycle onto the track.
Having the same passion for motorsports as her father, the 11-year-old girl began pursuing what she loves in youth motorcycle racing a year ago. Through countless hours of practice, she has now built a solid foundation.
This year, Liu claimed a sixth-place finish at a national motorcycle racing event. "My idol is Zhang Xue, whose eponymous ZXMOTO shows the world what the Chinese speed is," she said. "I wish I could make more breakthroughs and achieve better results."
