We Are Behind You, Liu Xiang!


It is out of question that Liu's withdrawal has stunned and frustrated most of his fans, the whole nation, and even the whole world. All at once, the poor athlete was flooded by waves of blames and reprimands.

However, voices of understanding also came up and is gradually intensified. Why should Liu fall a sacrifice, to the stupid stubbornness of some bureaucratic and short-sighted officials who only value the bright official careers of their own? Why shouldn't we view it in a more humane way? How many excellent sportsmen or sportswomen were ruined, just due to the ridiculous insistance of those leaders?


I fully understand Mr. Sun Haiping, Liu's fatherly coach all these years, shedding tears at the news conference. And I'm pleased that Liu has made a right decision, which might be made at the price of appugnation and abuses.

Liu Xiang, just throw all those blames and abuses away, and set out on a brandnew journey with ligher packs. Liu Xiang, all of us are behind you!
