Liu Xiang was originally supposed to be called Liu Ji (because it was popular at the time to use his father's surname as his surname and his mother's surname as his given name. Liu Xiang's father was Liu Xuegen and his mother was Ji Fenhua.), but Liu Ji's Mandarin pronunciation sounded like he was repeating a grade, so he was rejected by his relatives.
Later, Liu Xiang's uncle and uncle proposed Liu Qiang's name, hoping that he would be strong, but Liu Xiang's mother objected because the child living near their home at that time was named "Qiang Qiang" and was a disobedient child.
In the end, my uncle suggested the name Liu Xiang. "Xiang" and "Qiang" have similar pronunciations in Shanghai dialect, and "Xiang" means flying and auspicious. Therefore, the name Liu Xiang was finally established.

His height could not guarantee that he would become a world-class high jumper. Therefore, on the advice of the sports school coach, Liu Xiang began to switch to hurdle training in 1998.
In 2002, Liu Xiang broke the 24-year-old world youth record in the 110-meter hurdles.
The following year, he won a bronze medal at the World Athletics Championships and entered the ranks of the world's top hurdlers.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, although Liu Xiang was not widely expected to win the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles before the game, he perfectly utilized his technical advantages in the final and crossed the finish line first with an advantage of nearly three meters.
The time of 12.91 seconds tied the world record that had stood for 11 years.
Liu Xiang is the first Chinese male athlete to win a gold medal in Olympic track and field events. When he won the Olympic gold medal, Liu Xiang was only 21 years old. Now he is working hard to win the gold medal again at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
