Right after Liu Xiang arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, he was surrounded by media immediately. When being interviewed, Liu Xiang said: "I feel a little uneasy when setting foot on my homeland after a long-time farewell. It has been almost one year since I left. I'm a little excited and nervous." He expressed his confidence on coming back to his beloved sports field, saying "I have faith in myself all the time."

October 4^th last year, Liu Xiang left China to the United States for professional rehabilitation training. In Minnesota Rehabilitation Center, an American famous trainer accompanied Liu Xiang during his whole rehabilitation training. At first, Liu Xiang had to walk on crutches due to his injury. Step-by-step, he abandoned the annoying crutches and could even jog for a while in the street. Later, Liu Xiang was capable of conducting a high-intensity physical training. After 11 months, now, Liu Xiang is back. And he is willing to try the competitive hurdling again.
