She played and won all 3 group games in 1986 with Guan Weizhen and 1 game in 1988 with Zheng Yuli and played no further parts in knockout stages of both tournaments.Post-retirement and death
After the Uber Cup concluded, Lao retires immediately from the squad and became coaches in grassroots level in Guangzhou and actively promoting badminton competitions in her provinces. On 28 January 2016, Lao died in Guangzhou at age 50.Achievements
