50 minutes after midnight on August 22 (Beijing time), our alumni
Dong Zhaozhi and Wu Hanxiong won the silver medal at men¡¯s team foil
final at 2004 Athens Olympic Games, together with their teammates Ye
Cong and Wang Haibin. China lost the gold medal to Italy at 45-42. It¡¯s
another Olympic silver medal for the Chinese men¡¯s fencing team and a
repetition of the Sydney regret four years ago. This would be the last
performance at Olympic arena by ¡°China¡¯s Three Musketeers¡±---Ye Cong,
Dong Zhaozhi, and Wang Haibin.
Maybe even years later the memory of these two silver medals would
still trigger a train of regretful feelings in their heart, but no one
can deny the fact that these medals also shine with golden splendor due
to these fencers¡¯ sweated struggle on the way towards the final glory.
Dong Zhaozhi and Wu Hanxiong, who have summoned up all their courage and
energy to fight for China¡¯s honor, will inspire us in Sun Yat-sen
University to make further progress with their noble spirit and
outstanding achievement
