1.) views on liu xiang's withdrawl from the olympicsI'm disappointed and feel bad for him. He obviously looked very troubled and frustrated that morning before going into the game, because he had to choose between meeting his countrymen's expectations and jeopardizing his injured leg by continuing with the competition.His sense of honor finally won,and he went into the field, but then he had to quit after realizing he could not possibly make it without disgracing himself in front of the cheering crowd. Still I think he is a great athlet. No other chinese athlet could surpass his record yet.2. If I had a chance to meet an olympic star, say Phelps, I think I would treat him a very authentic chinese meal. (Heard he liked Chinese food.)3) About WenChuan's earthquake, my heart goes out to those who have suffered and endured so much thru the horrible disaster. Hope the government will build better earthquake-proof housing for the people there. The most important thing is not to give up hope.大难不死必有后福.
