Guo Jingjing pregnant?Posted by Joel Martinsen, May 13, 2008 5:27 PM
Danwei Picks is a daily digest of the "From the Web" links found on the Danwei homepage. A feed for the links as they are posted throughout the day is available at Feedsky (in China) or Feedburner (outside China). Chinese diving star pregnant, out of Olympics: From China Sports Today: In a bombshell for the Chinese diving team, one of China's biggest sports stars, two-time gold medal-winning diver Guo Jingjing, is pregnant and leaving the national team. However, this CCTV report quotes a National Diving Team spokesperson who denies the rumors.
[O]n the whole, Li Ji-Hong tends to avoid the approach used by Hosseini when he wrote "Kite Runner." Rather than citing the foreign term using English letters or transliterating it into Chinese, the translator uses easily grasped - even run-of-the-mill spoken Chinese - to convey quintessentially Afghan traits and customs. At times, the result is so mundane that one wonders if the reader might not get the impression that Afghan life, or at least the speech of its inhabitants, is rather similar to "ours," i.e., we Chinese.
It wasn't long before, within the community of Twitterati watching the horrors of the quake unfold, self-congratulatory messages talking about how Twitter was so much faster than the mainstream media, and how Twitter had proven itself indispensable. At first I was caught up in that feeling, too. But really, thinking back now on what happened, there was a little too much hubris in the rush to pronounce that Twitter's moment had arrived.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao ordered to remove barriers and open up roads to epicenter before 12 p.m. Tuesday after a strong earthquake jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province Monday afternoon.
When the earthquake struck, the first instinct of one college student in Sichuan province, not far from the epicenter, was to duck for cover in his dormitory room. The second: record the upheaval, and post it online.

Comments on Guo Jingjing pregnant?I once spent nearly a week with Guo Jingjing (Guoguo, to her friends) and her mother in NYC. She was there to participate in a McDonald's publicity event. When she wasn't sleeping or talking on the phone with her new boyfriend (her split with Tian Liang was then recent news), my girlfriend and I took her shopping - I remember she purchased a $200 pair of Gucci flip-flops. While Guoguo slept, her mother and I spent quite a bit of time together sucking down pinot noir (the movie 'Sideways' was popular then) and talking in the restaurant of the Times Square Hilton. From her I learned a lot about the seedy underbelly of China's sports machine. In fact, I believe that if Guo Jingjing were found to be pregnant, "goons and thugs" from the Chinese Althetic Association would carry her - kicking and screaming, if need be - to the nearest abortion clinic. Problem solved. Her life is not her own. Guo Jingjing got it exactly right when she said, "I belong to China." (She said that some time ago, when apologizing for an earlier transgression.) @Ma Bole In fact, I believe that if Guo Jingjing were found to be pregnant, "goons and thugs" from the Chinese Althetic Association would carry her - kicking and screaming, if need be - to the nearest abortion clinic. Problem solved. Her life is not her own. Guo Jingjing got it exactly right when she said, "I belong to China." Guo Jingjing was/is pregnant at least from 2005.02 to 2008.05. She is a genuine superwoman, that pregnancy period is quite long. You can google 郭晶晶 怀孕. Your theory makes a good eyeball story. Guo Jingjing won women's 3-meter springboard synchronized event at Canada Cup (MONTREAL) last week. As a 'pregnant' woman, she can still won that game. Guo must be a superwoman. Haha. |
