China: Liu Xiang is out and we are sad

On Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang‘s completely unexpected withdrawal from a competition today, rapid-response blogger He Caitou posted simply this comment from another post on Baidu:

前天晚上作了一个梦,梦见刘翔召开新闻发布会,宣布因为伤病不得已决定退出本届奥运会,并向所有关心支持自己的朋友道歉。

很奇怪的一个梦,然后第二天就看到刘翔脚伤的报道,不知道这会不会是真的。

请保留此帖,勿删,虽然我也是刘翔的粉丝,也希望他能参加并且成功卫冕。

The day before yesterday I had a dream, and I dreamt that Liu Xiang was holding a press conference, saying that due to injury he had no choice but to make the decision to pull out of the Olympic Games, and with that he apologized to all his caring supporters and friends.

A very strange dream, but then the next day I saw reports of Liu Xiang's foot injury, and I didn't know if they were real.

Please preserve this comment, do not delete it. I too am a fan of Liu Xiang's, and I hope to see him compete and successfully defend his championship.
