Zijun posted a video of herself playing acoustic guitar and singing, on her Weibo account <3

Zijun has withdrawn from GP France.

I hope the rumours of her possibly retiring aren't true, but I wouldn't be surprised. The Chinese Fed hasn't been the best to her in the least.

Oh Zijun, you paints, you play, you sing too? Hope you get well soon, We'd love to see you skating again!!

How come in Russian news? The last Chinese news I read, her coach says she is still recouperating and there's still a chance?

Has there been any updates?

NO I can't believe this NO JUST NO

I don't think these news are trustworthy. In fact HongBo Zhao gave an interview after Cup of China and mentions that Zijun still has a shot at the Olympic spot, if her injuries heal well and she is determined to do so.

Also, he did specify that it the groin injury bothering her.

OK! I shall remain optimistic!!

Yes, get well soon, Zijun! I do hope she gets the Olympic spot.

 

[Eclair]

well don't get your hopes up too much .. it isn't looking good ... but there is a chance! ..

 

[Tulipstar]

I didn't know she was injured until she withdrew from CoC

Hope to see her elegant skating and amazing Ina Bauer grace the ice again soon.

I can't help be so disappointed at how Zijun's career turned out. She was so lovely and charming when she first burst onto the scene with her program to the "Up" soundtrack. I also liked that she performed the one-handed beillman, which reminded me of Mao. I thought she would have a very promising career. But alas, it did not happen. I have not followed her career in years because it was too depressing but I recently noticed that she is now 21! It is still possible that she can have a late career comeback, a la Shizuka and Akiko. But her time is running out and she needs to make some big changes. I wish her all the best in the new year and hope she could go to the Olympics.

On a side note, I wonder if Lu Chen has reached out to support her. It's so strange that China has not made much progress in their ladies discipline despite the fact that Lulu was their first major star. They can really use her expertise and experience to help the next generation of skaters.

Wow, quite an impressive sport centre she is building and managing! Also impressive the support and investment she gets.

It's not clear when this ice sports centre was built as it is said to have hosted the 6th Asian Winter Games and 2012 Winter Games. The article also says it was built by Zijun and bears her name.

Zijun has retired :sad21:

 

[randomfan]

I will miss you Zijun

 

[sakurano]

she was not my favorite among the senior ones but still I have to admit that she had a promising future especially since 2013 and even before she had won the bronze medal for the 2012 YOG so it's sad to hear that she retired at 21, she will miss us anyway and I hope to see her as happy as at last year's Gala with her Bug Bunny Orchestra.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Is she starting to coach a little bit?
