In February of 2019, Vivian defeated Lee Hye- in, who ranked 20th in the world, and won his second World Cup championship.
In March of the same year, Vivian overtook Korea's Kang Yingmei with a better performance in the competition, and rose to the first place in the world ranking, and became the first Hong Kong fencing player in the world.
"For the first time, I felt that so many people paid attention to my swordsmanship. There are too many people to thank. They are the driving force for my progress. I hope to continue to
get good results and win glory for Hong Kong. In fact, after I won my first championship in Cuba, I went to Doha two weeks later. He
played very poorly at the time and was already defeated in the first round. When I won my first championship, I was not as happy as I thought, but when I lost in Cuba, I was really unhappy. Every day I asked myself why I lost and why the level was good and bad. After that, I immediately practiced non-stop every day. In fact, before
I arrived in Barcelona, I had been practicing
very poorly. I also told the coach that I could no longer play swords! But when the game started, it got better and better."
