James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,　 a school teacher asked the youth his name.

"J.C., "he replied.

She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.

Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second?　 year student,　 in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.

A week before the Big Ten meet,　 Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,　 and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,　 event by event. He did try,　 and the results are in the record book.

The stage was set for Owens? victory at the Olympic Games　 in Berlin the next year,　 and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political.Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.

"It was all right with me, "he said years later."I didn?t go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway."

Having returned from Berlin,　 he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,　 either.In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.

Owens? Olympic victories　 made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,　 motorcycles and dogs.

"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later."But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."

In time,　 however,　 his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years, "he once said."Time has stood still for me.That golden moment dies hard."

Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)！It’s Curarpikt!"

　At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that’s exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》)by Yoshihiro Togashi.

　　 "I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15?year?old girl. "I’m moved by his sad story and I’m attracted by his courage and personality."

　　 In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind?hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture the people who killed his tribe(部落).

　　 Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series(动画片)of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt"in a cosplay show.

　　 "I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It’s really exciting to see young people wearing the make?up and costumes of characters that you’ve read about and are familiar with."

　　 "But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."

　　 Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.

　　 "It’s a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.

　　 But she never talks about her hobby with her parents.

　　 "They think it will distract me from my studies. I don’t want to upset them,that’s my secret hobby," she said. "It’s also why I don’t dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."
