Thirty-two-year-old Sisi is a World Boxing Council Asia Title champion and the mother of a three-year-old boy. 2020 will be her most challenging year yet. Not only will she have the opportunity to fight in a potentially career-changing International Boxing Federation match, she will also be taking full-time care of her son, who previously lived with his grandparents. Sisi was born and raised in a conservative family who believe—as many do in China—that motherhood is a woman’s most important job. After her son was born, Sisi suffered severe postnatal depression. Boxing became her way out, a way to show the world she existed. With her athletic career reinvigorated, Sisi is constantly dodging accusations about her life choices. Though married, she lives the life of a single mom. Her husband lives thousands of kilometers away and contributes little to their child’s upbringing. She has no choice but to take her son to work, which people in the boxing world cannot accept. Those outside it see as a sign of bad parenting. Meanwhile, her in-laws protest her priorities. Wouldn’t a good mother make sure her son gets the best possible upbringing? And what about having a second child?
