On March 22, 2014，she won third place（junior category）at the 12th China Daily “21st Century Lenovo Cup” National High School English Speaking Competition, which was held in Beijing. During the competition, many contestants（选手）kept a serious face. But Huang was smiling all the time. Her good manners also won her the Best Style prize at the contest.
