Especially her 2016 Worlds short! that was simply majestically magnificent...
a proper retirement means, like everyone other skater's retirement, they retired on their own terms and with the blessing of their fans.
it does not refer to any paper work. Her paper work is complete.
What I mean is what you have seen on social media in China, even in her retirement, those mean comments... it is unbearable.
But I am glad to see that still more than half of comments is giving her good wishes.

What a beautiful skater who was habitually underscored on PCS. Zijun, we will miss your artistry and lyricism.

Watching this program just makes me miss Zijun even more. She has a unique ethereal quality on ice where she flows like a feather. She also has the best artistry among all Chinese ladies and I don't get why it is not rewarded, watching her is comfortable and interesting. Her jumps are nice and actually are better after going to Mishin. Too bad it is not appreciated, I guess she really lost a lot of momentum and motivation after last season. It's just...sad

It is fab... what an opportunity missed!! First time I have seen this program. Too bad judges don't seems to have the sensitivity to see beyond nationality and label these days.

Very sad to see this news. She had such promising talent but never could quite get that breakthrough as a competitor but I was hoping that she'd make a comeback.

I will always remember her fondly. I don't know about how her federation feel, but at her last WC, she at least received a semi standing ovation. Japanese audiences knows their skating. Criminally rewarded PCS 49. (Consider 75 reward to Alina these days in a debut season as new Russia No1 with a junior program. The scoring really don't make sense anymore.)
Artistically, I do appreciate she had developed her own maturing Zi Jun 'flavour' type of programs over the years. Ethereal, charming, feminine. Only wish it could have lasted longer, to peak at elegance and graceful stage which she is capable of.

I've always had a spot in my figure skating loving heart for Zijun. First, as a fellow Yuna fan since Yuna is her figure skating idol, she also reminded me of her her skating when she had that amazing breakthrough at 2013 Worlds and everyone expected her to be the next thing, sadly it didn't happen. But now it's just pure appreciation of her beautiful skating, not perfect but hers. Her elegant style, music choices, one-handed Biellmann spin, dresses, just her subtle but charming skating. I will miss her but I wish her the best in the future, maybe she will stay in figure skating world, I would love her to.
