Zheng Jie returns to Sichuan homecourt

When the disastrous earthquake hit China's Sichuan province on May 12 last year, tennis player Zheng Jie, a local, was playing in Italy and feared the worst after losing contact with her family.

Almost a year later, China's current No 1 women's tennis player has the opportunity to re-visit earthquake-stricken areas in her hometown to deliver her love and care to young victims.

Zheng will arrive in Sichuan today for a series of charity activities, visiting primary school of Hongbai Town in Shifang city and donating tennis equipment to students there.
