The following is a news report from Illinois Alumni--a magazine published by the University of Illinois, USA. Here I am happy to tell you that the name J in the news report refers to me. For the sake of privacy, I deliberately use J as the abbreviation of my name.
Far away from Urbana, on the shores of Qingdao, J hopes for smooth sailing. The city is hosting the Olympic Regatta, where skiffs and windsurfers, grand sailboats and dinghys will ply the waves in a sport that's been part of the Games since 1900.
