All Goddesses were immortal

All Goddesses were immortal. Like others before her, Diving Queen 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá) found that a goddess and a woman cannot live in the same body forever. She decided to leave the stage at the peak of her shine, knowing that by now she could only repeat herself at a very high cost. China was deeply shocked by 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá)’s retirement announcement, while is preparing to pay homage to her “swan song” at the 水立方 (Water Cube) in 北京 (Běijīng) on December 20. So what’s awaiting her from December 21? The marriage with her betrothed 張效誠 (Zhāng Xiàochéng) – planned for next year – and a career as an official at 上海 (Shànghǎi) Sports Bureau. But since the sirens cannot live for long outside Atlantis, we hope – a little bit egoistically – she will change her mind. Photo: sports.sina.com.cn.
