  Liu Xiang, a 21-year-old Chinese athlete, got the gold medal of the fascinating men’s 110m hurdles(跨栏)before a crowd of 70 000 at the OlympicStadium in the 28th Olympics in Athens late Friday local time.He clocked an excellent 12.91 seconds to equal the world record set by Britain’s Collin Jackson in 1993.

  It is the first gold Chinese men’s athlete has ever won from the track and field in the Olympics history.China has won over 100 gold medals from the summer OlympicGames since 1984 but its male athletes only got one medal from Olympics’ most popular sport.

  The Shanghai native, with his father a truck driver and mother an outofwork housewife, loved sports when he was very little.Liu was selected to the Junior Sports School of Putuo District of Shanghai to practice jumping as a fourth grader in the primary school.But after a bone test showing that he will not be able to becomea tall man, Liu was asked to give up sports one year later, although he had won the national champion at that level.

  In 1998 when he attracted coach Sun Haiping’s attentionas a 15-year-old jumper.Sun was a well known hurdle coach and he believed a star was born at the first sight of Liu.He visited Liu’s parents several times and finally persuaded them to let Liu transfer to the 110m hurdles.

  After only three years, Liu launched his career in style in the IAAF Grand Prix in Lausanne in 2001 by breaking the world youth and Asian record with a time of 13.12.

  But the first warning he sent to the world was his bronzewinning feat(战绩)at the world indoor championships in Birmingham, England, last year.

  In 2004, Liu won the silver in the world indoor championships in Budapest in March.Two months later, he proved the winner in a race against American great Allen Johnson in the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka, Japan, where he clocked a new Asian record and world’s season best time of 13.06 seconds.

  He went on to win two Johnson absent races in Lille, France, on June 26 and Zagreb, Croatia, three days later.He put up an exciting show at the Golden Gala meet in Rome on July 3, when he and Johnson clocked an identical time of 13.11.Race officials had to examine a photo finish to declare Johnson the winner.Liu did a better job of clearing the hurdles than Johnson, but Johnson’s stronger start ended up making the difference.The race boosted(提高)Liu’s optimism for the Olympics, although Johnson bettered his season best time by 0.01 second in Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 6.

  The world has put the Olympics a Johnson-Liu duel but surprisingly Johnson crashed out of the Games after falling at the ninth hurdle at round 2.Johnson’s early exit paved the way for Liu’s win.He finally took the gold medal and put a Chinese man’s name on the record book.

  MIANYANG-At a corner of the city's Jiuzhou Stadium, one of the biggest camps set up for those left homeless in the earthquake, 62-year-old Liu Yaorong was leaning against a window on Thursday.

  Pointing to a quilt and clothes he received from the local government, he said:“These are all I have.My home collapsed in the quake, and everything in the town was flooded.”

  He used to live in Xuanping town of Beichuan county which was destroyed by the quake.Adding to his misery, rivers blocked by landslides(山崩)led to flooding in the town.

  But Liu said he was lucky because he was healthy, otherwise he would not have the energy to walk 10 hours on damaged and dangerous mountainous roads to escape the flood on Monday.He said the trip used to take him about 90 minutes when the roads were in good condition.

  The journey was difficult and“rocks kept falling,”he said, showing injured legs and black, split toenails.

  Liu said his three sons were working in eastern cities as migrant workers.

  “I've been living alone in the mountains for more than 20 years.My wife died 30 years ago,” he said in a low voice.

  During his journey to Mianyang, Liu said he saw many elderly people who chose to stay.

  “Soldiers were persuading them to leave for fear of floods,”he said.

  Talking about his home before the quake struck, Liu's mood lifted.“I raised pigs and chickens, and grew vegetables.I could have rice, meat and greens almost every day,”he said.

  “But now, I have only biscuits and instant noodles.”

  Liu said one of his sons returned home from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, after the quake, but left because the father refused to go with him.

  “I don't want to leave home.And I know it is difficult for them out there.How could I add to their burden?”he asked, his eyes red.

  “I still want to go back to my home.Given a small piece of land, I could live by myself.”

  It is learnt that resettlement plans for displaced people have not been finalized.

  However, not every elderly person is as strong-willed as Liu.

  Psychologists said the elderly need as much comfort as children.Lu Jianguo, a psychologist from Chengdu Medical College, said“We will first let them cry and tell their stories, and then help them regain confidence.”
