She has been signed as a host of a talk show on sina.com, one of China's major Internet portals, and reports regularly for the official website of the Chinese Olympic Committee.

Before that, she was signed in 2004 to host a sports show named after her, "Sang Lan Olympics 2008," on Star TV, financed by Rupert Murdoch's media consortium.

"I like to be kept busy," she said.

She is vice director at the China Sports Foundation, helping China's retired athletes get a better education or medical care. She also serves as an ambassador and money-raiser for the Hong Kong University Spinal Cord Injury Fund.

In recent months she has been busy flying around China's poorest regions to promote the spread of Olympic knowledge among kids in conjunction with the Hope Project, a foundation that helps underprivileged children get an education.

"I am so shocked that many of the kids had no idea about the Olympic Games or that Beijing would be hosting them, " she said.

"I even tried to teach them some gymnastic movements with my arms," said Sang, who can still move her arms, shoulders and head.

Now she is eyeing a job as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations.

"I want to help refugees in Africa and I want to interview the wives of presidents in different nations," she said.

Sometimes, she admits, the exposure she gets can be a little too much.

In a recent blog entry she wrote that many hurtful messages had been posted online mocking her disability.

"There was one saying that I should not 'bounce around' on public occasions if I was as seriously disabled as I claim to be.

"I laughed about the use of the word 'bounce'. At least they think I'm lively," she wrote.
