even when on vacation, ji bowen did not miss training. whenever he had time, he would go back to the place where his dream began, anji county sports school, to do some basic training. "compared to being in the team, i have more free time for training, but i still can't help but sweat and keep my hands in shape."

regardless of whether he can eat the old hens raised by his parents, for him, being able to be with his family and eat hometown food is a very happy thing. "home is more of the taste and characteristics of hometown, which cannot be replaced outside." ji bowen said that the dishes made by his parents can all hit his taste buds and preferences, so he likes them all.
