Fencing champion now party congress delegate

Zhang Liangliang claims victory in the final of the men's foil at the 11th National Games in 2009 in this file photo. In Chinese men's foil team, Zhang is not the one who comes up with the best results, but he is definitely the one with the most persistence. At over 30 years old, he has witnessed the rejuvenation of the team and won many world championships, but still committed himself to the sport for the Olympic dream. Recently, as captain of the team, Zhang was elected as a delegate of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. [Photo/Xinhua]
