For the next few days, this will be the face of China. It is the anguish of millions of people over a terribly tragic event: A Chinese track athlete hurt his ankle.
wait what?
Quote: "Liu Xiang’s sudden withdrawal prompted a national outpouring of emotion in China. A television presenter who broke the story on the Olympics TV channel was reduced to tears on air...could hardly finish his sentences as he tried to explain Liu’s fate to a packed media conference as the rest of the country wept."
Now that is interesting. 110 meter hurdler Liu Xiang, pride of the Chinese people and symbol of China's struggle for superiority, also supplies the people of China with emotional stability. With one twist of an ankle, an entire nation is reduced to a race of mewling babies. What's with all the crying? Does Liu Xiang's injury mean that China sucks now? Have Chinese people been disgraced or something? Geez, talk about a burst bubble. Keep in mind this is the same society that cries over math tests.
Really. Wait, we can still fix this. Just have a prettier looking Chinese guy replace Liu and have him pretend to jump over those hurdles. It worked with a little girl lip-syncing the opening ceremony, right?

they should have used cg to show on tv that he lept over all the hurdles in one leap.
