Speed skating team gets a real beating (chinadaily.com.cn) Updated: 2011-06-07 15:08 China's top short track speed skaters were beaten and kicked in an attack following a training session in Yunnan of Southwest China. Team members confirmed the attack by posting information and photographs on their micro blogs. "My team was beaten in Lijiang. Is there any justice in China?" Wang Meng, captain of China's women's team and multi-Winter Olympic champion posted around 3 am. Wang said the team was on their way back to their hotel after supper when attacked by a group they suspected to be guards or policemen. Some team members sustained injuries and were sent to hospital. Wang's teammate Zhou Yang, also an Olympic champion, uploaded photos of one injured team member on a stretcher in hospital. She fumed about the "inhumanity" of the hospital.

Er....I originally wanted to write only a couple of words about the such disgraced matter. Did not say also nobody knew, No matter which is right or wrong, it is also not a good thing. But if only say good words at here, that is partial. The gang fights event, it is a hot topic except for National Matriculation Examination online. English news of electronic newspaper also have posted on the internet. About the short track team players, there are not their latest news. They should be all right and players left Lijing to Kuming for training. I think it is a little event, but the event to be upgraded due to influences. The event is exaggerated. Regarding to Wang Meng said words which she posted the last sentence of first message about the event. I have the veiled criticism. It was just a case. Can't take a part for the whole. It is hasty generalization. She has deleted it. The good phenomenon that there are different points of view on the network. There were support for short-track team, There were support for the side of Lijiang, Some people remain neutral, Waiting for the truth. Although there are conflicting views, but it showed that all people don't just listen to one side of the case, no matter which side. About the gang fights event, their each sticks to his own argument. There are also descriptions of some eyewitnesses. Lijiang government has responded. But now short track team have sealed, there is only one spokesman Wang Chunlu. By the way, Wang Chunlu expressed that the side of Lijiang already apologized to short track team. And according to directive of the two sides superior, short track team already not accept interviewed, the other side also not follow up the matter again. Moreover, the event basically already solved. Although I do not want to more mention such a thing. Because I think that is not unnecessary to rise to the height of the other aspects. Anyway, the English version already had, the might as well let everyone judge for yourself. Read informations: www.cnkeyword.info/wang-mengs-short-track-team-exposed-group-was-beaten-map/www.cnkeyword.info/lijiang-chinas-short-track-speed-skating-team-is-playing-the-event-continued-the-two-sides-are-responsible-for/The web pages seems to can not be displayed. You can see it. China Daily: www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2011-06/08/content_12654306.htmI think it will not have any special news again. If it has the latest informations, I will tell you. |

More follow up from the Chinese press. Remind me not to sing after midnight if I ever get that chance to visit China! Chinese short track speed skating team offers to reconcile after Lijiang brawl English.news.cn 2011-06-09 16:57:07 FeedbackPrintRSS BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese short track speed skating team is said to have offered reconciliation with Lijiang side after involving in a scrimmage in the popular tourism destination in Yunnan province a couple of days ago. Lijiang government press officer Zhang Wenyin wrote in his micro-blog Wednesday that the team expressed their wish to settle the dispute in peace after they fought local security guards on Monday night in Lijiang where they celebrated the Dragon Boat Day. "After they published the incident on the internet, they offered to make reconciliation," said Zhang in the micro-blog. On Tuesday, Olympic champions Wang Meng and Zhou Yang posted angry words and pictures on their micro-blogs, saying the team got beaten up by local security guards before their injured teammates were met with indifferent doctors in local hospital. Reports said about 10 athletes were hurt in the brawl. But local police said after an investigation that the athletes unknowingly violated Lijiang Protection Regulations by making too much noise and singing after midnight, which caused the security guards to step in. "During the process, they clashed and both sides suffered injuries," police said. "Most of the athletes suffered skin injuries and one of the male teammates Liu Xianwei was diagnosed with multiple contusion." And Lijiang People's Hospital denied any neglegience of the injured athletes. "After Liu was taken to the emergency room, doctors immediately gave him a routine examination," said vice director Yang Guangming. "But we can't meet their requirement of staying in a single room as there were too many patients that day." The short track speed skating team, who already returned to Yunnan's capital city of Kunming for a two-month summer camp after the incident, refused to give any comment. The team brought back China four gold medals at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games last year with Wang Meng having three to her name. news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/sports/2011-06/09/c_13920156.htm |

This seems like a misunderstanding that unfortunately escalated. Overly-cautious security worried that boisterous youths will cause problems? or... Exhuberant youths defending themselves against heavy-handed security? We'll probably never know.  But it's good that everyone's okay, and that both sides seem to be trying to reconcile and work through it in a positive way. |

More follow up from the Chinese press. Remind me not to sing after midnight if I ever get that chance to visit China! Hahahahahahaha! Fortunately, you also want to come to China! Haha! It sounds like a bit odd about can not sing after midnight, but we all do so in the world, don't we? Unless it will not disturb others or the others do not mind. So the question is not the singing after midnight, but rather the anuisance. Although other places possibly do not have the special regulation, but it is an everybody default self-restraint behavior. Certainly it is just the provision of the ancient city of Lijiang, not including the whole Lijiang City. Chinese other places whether there is such a requirement, I don't know. But it does not mean that China are like this. Hahahaha! You may try a "challenge" if you ever get that chance to come China! Haha! Overly-cautious security worried that boisterous youths will cause problems? or... Exhuberant youths defending themselves against heavy-handed security? Because Old Town of Lijiang is one of the world's cultural heritage. Although it is a tourist attraction, but there are residents at there. The “Old Town of Lijiang Protection Ordinance” clearly states: after 23:30 each day, within the prohibition in the ancient city and loud music playing loudly. The side of Lijiang said, that in the evening, some residents complain of noise affect the life. I saw a post on the network. There is an eyewitness said that he was at the scene. He lived for three days. Preceding day evening has between the tourists to fight, so the second day was just strict. Coincidentally, the next day is Chinese National Matriculation Examination. Entire country is created a good environment to prepare examination for examinee. Do not know whether the Lijiang old town had the kind of situation. But these are own words of everybody. The new information is China short track team have left Kuming return to Beijing. Do not know what new developments about the event? www.f-paper.com/?i397187-Short-track-speed-skating-team-leader-coaches-rushed-back-to-Beijing-in-Kunming-aftermathPost two photos at the Kunming Hongta Sports Center Lakeview Hotel after Lijing event on the June 8, 2011.  can you guess who the first and second players are? (right) I think you could not guess! Haaaa!  The players are very relaxed. Ah! |
