China Sports: A lot of people are worrying about your foot injury, can you tell us about what the recovery has been like?
Wenjing: It’s healing normally. I’m getting better little by little. I can do hops and some light training, I’m trying to recover my spins and some of the pair elements, obviously lifts aren’t a problem. Mostly I’m trying to feel out the programs again because after such a long a period of time of not practicing them the coordination between the both of us feels strange/unfamiliar.
China Sports: In May, for Amazing On Ice, our associate went to film the performances. At that time you were still using a wheelchair, but now you’re back on the ice. Isn’t it a bit quick? Were you permitted to do so by the doctor?
Wenjing: Yes, also I was in a rush to return to the ice and so every day at the hospital I was thinking about what I was going to do.
China Sports: So when Wenjing was recuperating Han Cong must have been very worried, I heard you went to visit her at the hospital every day, is that right?
Han Cong: Not every day because there is still my own training to do, so every week I’d go see her once or twice. Whenever a specialist was there I’d find the time to go and ask questions about how the recovery process would move along.
Wenjing: And then later on when we were doing lifts on the floor he would handle me very gently, like one would with a vase. After this many years it’s the first time he’s been like that with me.
China Sports: Really? In the past he wasn’t like this?
Wenjing: No, before he was never this gentle.
...
China Sports: After training so long together, finding yourself without a partner must have affected your mood a lot. Did you feel very down?
Han Cong: I’d had this experience before, and so then I had resolved that the training should still have substance, that I shouldn’t stop in any way. But after skating for some time by myself I think my mental strength started to drop, because when doing jumps there wasn’t that feeling of someone jumping alongside you. It didn’t feel complete.
China Sports: You must wanted Wenjing to come back onto the ice as quickly as possible.
Han Cong: It was really really boring. Some of the others, their partners would get injured and couldn’t do on ice training for one or two days, so of course they felt like there was no point in practicing. I joked around with them, “This is nothing, how long has it been for me? It’s been months.”
China Sports: Was it the same for you Wenjing? Your emotional state?
Wenjing: For me, both mentally and physically, it was a certain type of suffering. I wanted to return to the ice… and there’s our rivals, both domestically and internationally. I was in a rush to keep working.
...
China Sports: When you do your movements does it affect your wounds? And how strongly?
Wenjing: Not that much. After training is done we immediately apply ice, and then of course there are other methods as well.
China Sports: So that means you’ve recovered quite well?
Wenjing: Quite well. The wound looks really good.
But good for Han! The messages are great 
Glad, the recovery is going well. Sui, take your time! That lady is so eager to skate 
Cong looked very knightly standing right behind her holding microphone
