China’s 5,000-meter Olympic champion Wang Junxia is suffering from a serious condition brought on by stress and her heavy training schedule (日程), according to her coach. Wang was China’s only athletic medallist in the Atlanta Olympic games, winning gold in the woman’s 5,000 meters and silver in the 10,000 meters.
“Wang Junxia is suffering from serious neurasthenia (神经衰弱), which is causing her insomnia (失眠) and even making it painful for her to run,” coach Wang Dezhen told reporters. In an interview with China’s National television station CCTV, Wang said that her headaches come whenever she runs. Neurasthenia is a general term for a condition whose symptoms range (症状范围) from fatigue (疲劳) and anxiety to listlessness (倦怠无力).
“The condition has been brought on by her hard training schedule these past few years and she needs a good rest.” said Mao, who took over Wang’s training when the long-distance star split with long-time coach Ma Junren in late 1994.
Wang is currently recuperating (复原) in Shenyang, capital of the home Liaoning Province, but will join the rest of the provincial team in the southern city of Nanning for winter training in February, Mao said.

On the first day of class, a graduate student from Xi’an Jiaotong University reminded me that, especially in China, “There are always two sides of a coin.” Experiencing China’s May 12 earthquake while living in Xi’an, Shanxi Province just north of the earthquake’s epicenter (地震的震中) in Sichuan with our two daughters, we have indeed seen both sides of what is beginning to be called China’s 5·12 disaster coin.
On television, in newspapers and through the Internet, we learned about the extent (巨大，重要性) of the destruction, and the statistics were hor
rific – over 69,000 confirmed (确认) dead, some 18,000 missing and more than 374,000 injured.
When we turn off the television and discuss what we as a family have learned from the events of the last several weeks, we find ourselves marveling (觉得惊奇) at how the Chinese are confidently but quietly dealing with this unprecedented tragedy – a disaster that continues with every aftershocks, mudslide and potential flood.
It seems like every school, organization and business is raising money for Sichuan, and young people all over the country a
re out in the streets looking for donations or giving blood at the many mobile blood vans that are out in full force.
Those who cannot give, like the 75-year-old woman from Sichuan, are volunteering or giving in other ways. An impressive example is the Sichuan policewoman with a newborn child who was nursing many infants whose mothers were killed in the quake.
The national concern over the fate of affected children has been moving. On May 22, there were 1697 orphans, but on June 24, the number dropped to 558; and rest assured, there are more people willing to adopt than there are orphans from Sichuan.
So, while no country or person ever welcomes tragedy, especially something of this magnitude (程度), the earthquake has taught us a great deal about China’s true character and its people’s resilience (韧性). It has also reminded us that the other side of even a dark coin may hold the promise of a brighter future,
