Jolin trained with a professional badminton team in Chinese Taiwan from a young age and attended a sports academy, even winning championships in women's singles and doubles at the Chinese Taiwan "Technical College Cup". However, seeking a more stable career path, she switched her focus to accounting and industrial engineering management. After graduating, Jolin successfully entered the finance industry, and by the age of 26, her annual salary had already exceeded one million New RMB.

An ordinary business trip to Guangzhou unexpectedly led her to a "career lane change". She realized that in this first-tier city, she would have greater growth and earning potential opportunities. In 2021, at 33, Jolin began her journey in the Greater Bay Area.

Little did she know that COVID-19 swept across the world that year, causing Jolin, the "financial whiz", to lose her job. Faced with this setback, she chose not to return to Chinese Taiwan. Determined as ever, she started looking for new job opportunities in Guangzhou.

In December 2021, at a badminton gym in Guangzhou, Jolin rekindled her passion for the sport and met coach Yang Haiwen. Inspired by their conversation, she had the idea of creating a badminton training platform to help dedicated yet communication-challenged coaches like Yang find students. Thus, she partnered with Coach Yang to establish OWO Badminton, an online shared training platform that connects coaching resources from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The entrepreneurial journey was fraught with challenges. Jolin had to contend with long hours and substantial financial investment while navigating the uncertainties brought on by the pandemic. She juggled freelance finance work to support her badminton venture. Although she suffered a significant loss of 500,000 yuan when investing in a gym in Panyu District during a lockdown, Jolin refused to give up.

Time and again, Jolin's perseverance can be distilled into "passion". Today, OWO has training locations in Chinese Taiwan, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, boasting a large number of students. Yet, Jolin is not content with the status quo; she envisions OWO as a comprehensive online platform encompassing food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment.

Jolin is a vibrant and spirited girl. Like a warrior, she maintains a strong will and light-footedness, always ready to deliver an impressive "smash" on the court of life.

“羽球学姐”Jolin:人生需要漂亮“扣杀”| 为爱飞粤记②

Jolin从小在台湾的羽毛球专业队训练,就读于专业体校,一度拿过台湾“大专杯”女单和女双比赛冠军。但为了稳定的职业道路,她转读了会计和工业工程管理。毕业后,Jolin顺利地踏入金融行业,26岁时,她的年薪已经破百万新台币。

一次毫不特别的广州商务出差,让她走进了人生的“变车道”,她认为在这个一线城市,自己发展空间更大,能赚到更多的钱。2021年,33岁的Jolin开始了“湾漂”。

没料到,那年全球疫情汹涌,“金融卷王”Jolin因此失去了工作。面对困境,她没有选择回台湾,要强的她开始在广州寻找新的工作机会。

2021年12月,在广州一家羽毛球馆中,Jolin重拾了运动爱好,并结识了羽毛球教练杨海文。她萌生了创办羽毛球训练平台的想法,帮助像杨教练一样认真但缺乏沟通能力的教练找到生源。于是,她与杨教练合伙创办了OWO亚柏体育,一个汇集两岸教练资源的线上共享培训平台。

创业之路充满挑战,Jolin不仅要面对超长的工作时间和巨大的资金投入,还要克服疫情带来的不确定性。她一边接金融工作单挣钱,一边用金融收入来支持羽球事业。尽管在番禺投资球馆时遭遇了封控,导致50万元血本无归,但Jolin并没有放弃。

屡败屡战,Jolin归根结底是因为两个字——“热爱”。目前,OWO在台湾、深圳、广州都设有培训点,并拥有众多学员。但Jolin并不满足于现状,她想把OWO打造成一个集食、衣、住、行、育、乐于一体的线上共享平台。

Jolin是一个热气腾腾的女孩,她像一个战士一样,永远都保持着强大的意志和轻盈的脚步,时刻准备在人生的球场上完成一记漂亮的“扣杀”。
