[Reporter Lin Yuefu/Comprehensive Report] Taiwanese young weightlifter Pan Xingzhen, who was born in a poor family, will bring back 3 gold medals in the 2023 World Youth Weightlifting Championships in the women's 49 kg category with a snatch of 73 kg, a clean and jerk of 90 kg, and a total of 163 kg. "Weightlifting Goddess" Guo Yuchun is on par.

This year's World Youth Championship was held in Albania. A total of 12 players from Taiwan participated in the competition. Pan Xingzhen, who won the silver medal in the Youth Cup in February, regards Guo Yuchun as an idol. The medals opened, and even won 3 gold medals alone.

Pan Xingzhen from Kaohsiung Lake is studying at Luzhu High School. Her mother is a new resident of Vietnam. She usually relies on her father to do part-time jobs for the family’s finances. She even lives in a metal house on the top floor. My younger sister Pan Meijin is also a weightlifter, and her results are not bad.

Huang Houming, the weightlifting coach of Hunei Junior High School, is the pusher who led the three sisters of the Pan family into weightlifting. He hopes to use his ability to help more athletes turn their lives around by weightlifting.

The main source of income for the Pan family is their father, but they can’t make ends meet. Therefore, Pan Xingzhen, Pan Chunjin, and Pan Meijin need to receive nutrition money for weightlifting training and competition bonuses to survive. Having developed an interest, Pan Xingzhen has now successfully won gold on the world stage, and the future is highly anticipated.
