Liu Xiang won his third Asian 110-meter hurdles championship, but he limped off the track due to injury even before he started running in the 2008 Olympic Games, leaving millions of Chinese astonished and disappointed. Liu apologized in public for his withdrawal, “I didn’t know why things turned out this way. I wanted to hang on, but I couldn’t. It was unbearable. If I had finished the race, I would have risked my tendon...” Liu did make the right decision. If he hadn't given up then, he would have got worse injured. In my eyes, Liu is really a man worth respecting. We should learn how to face hardships in life from him. If you were to meet with difficulties in the future, would you stick to your goal as Liu Xiang does? And if you were Liu Xiang now, what would you do, to retire and live a comfortable life or to struggle for the next championship?
