Eleven years after retiring, Chinese sprinter Liu Xiang is asked by Shanghai Sports Bureau to choose between becoming a coach or leaving the sports system through a buyout. Liu Xiang questions why he wasn't properly compensated when advertising fees were divided in 2007. Netizens criticize the bureau's actions, with some suggesting it's a case of 'killing the donkey after it's drawn the cart' or 'ghost salary'. The Shanghai Sports Bureau acknowledges Liu Xiang's contributions but doesn't directly address his concerns.
