Chinese mainland's Olympic gold medallists impress HK people with dazzling sports skills
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008- ... 741891.htm

Today's Modern Express, a Nanjing-based newspaper, reported that Guo Jingjing is likely to compete next time not for China, but for Hong Kong.

Guo is reportedly going to marry Huo Qigang, a Hong Kong resident, in September and will obtain Hong Kong residency through a new immigration policy called the "Quality Migrant Admission Scheme."

Hong Kong initiated the new immigration policy hoping to import more talent from the mainland. Li Ning, the gymnast-turned-entrepreneur who lit the Beijing Olympic cauldron told the media on August 14 that he recently acquired Hong Kong residence through the scheme.
