In July 2008, Zheng Jie mad her own bit of sporting history for China. At the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Zheng beat Ana Ivanovic, who was then the world number one, on the way to a place in the semifinals. It was the first time that a Chinese player had reached a Grand Slam tournament semifinal(大满贯半决赛).

“After my performance at Wimbledon when I returned to China, I was welcomed by a huge crowd at the airport. I was excited that I could turn so many people’s attention to the tennis,” said Zheng.

Zheng was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in July, 1983 and donated her winning from Wimbeldon to the Sichuan earthquake relief-fund.(救济金)

She followed up her Winbledon performance with a bronze medal at the Beijing Olympic Game.

“To me the Olympic is a wonderful memory of my career path. When I watched the five-starflag rising up in my own country,it’s hard to describe or expressthe feelings of pride with words,” she said. Zheng’s singles displays in 2008 represented new progress in her career and reminded the world of the potential of Chinese tnnis.

Zheng’s parents didn’t play tennis themselves but encouraged her to take up the sport just to stay fit, but Zheng became lost in the game.

In fact, Zheng was often overlooked by her coaches. She said,”Acutally I played really well, but just because I want taller or stronger than others,the coaches didn’t think I was fit for tennis. But I really like playing tennis. If you say I can’t make it ,I’ll prove it to you that I can.”

A decade after terror struck America, we are starting to move forward.

It has been 10 years. In those awful days right after 9/11, I asked my colleague, Dave Barry, if he thought he would ever write jokes again. He was then the humor columnist for the Miami Herald. “For the last week,” he told me, “I haven’t even tried to write anything funny, and for a while I thought maybe I never would, or should.”

He had it; we all had it—that feeling of being stuck, unable to find your way back to the life you had lived before. I wrote 10 columns in a row about what I had seen, the planes crashing, the lives lost. Finally, I had to force myself to write a column about something that was not terror. That last one column. Then I went right back to what was normal.

That was a decade ago. Today’s terrors become tomorrow’s memories. News becomes history. And I find myself remembering how I used to kill ants when I was a child. The thing that struck me was that they always came back. Even if you destroy their world a hundred times, they build it a hundred and one times.

There is something of that in people. It may be one of the best things about us. We always fight the cruel things in life, bury our dead, rebuild, and find a way to move forward. We did it when fire burned down Chicago, after the earthquake in San Francisco, and after the floods in New Orleans. And we did it on September 11.

It is true that we have changed in ways that are not all good. We are at war on three fronts. We are running a strange prison on Cuba. The government may not tell you why.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. Experts tell us the terror group he led is weakened. However, terrorism remains alive in American political thought, which is becoming more extreme.

There is reason to be worried about these changes. But I am still grateful that we moved away from the 9/11 nightmare at all.
