It was in an ordinary Shanghai neighborhood 21 years ago that 5-year-old Wu Minxia's parents were agonizing over whether to send their little girl to a dance or diving team, after both had invited her.
Her father said their inclination toward taking the diving team's offer was largely because the training facility was closer to home.
"This simple decision changed Wu's life and, probably, China's history," Wu's father Wu Yuming said.
