Editor's note:
China has undergone a great breakthrough in sports and Olympic achievement. In Los Angeles in 1932, China sent only one athlete to take part in its first Olympic Games winning zero medals. Fifty-two years later, in the same city, 353 Chinese athletes competed for their country, winning 15 gold medals. Liu Changchun and Xu Haifeng, who represented China in 1932 and 1984, witnessed the country's growth and progress in sports and Olympic Games.
