Since joining the railway, Li has devoted herself to honing technical skills. In 2023, she claimed fifth in the technical skills competition organized by China Railway Beijing Bureau.
This year, Li tries her best to represent the China Railway Beijing Bureau at the China Railway Group's national technical skills competition. As the final selection draws near, she takes every maintenance task with exacting standards, striving for excellence in every detail.
