Liu Xiang paid 494,000 yuan as a buyout fee, officially cutting ties with the sports bureau. During his peak, Liu Xiang brought in at least hundreds of millions for the bureau, but now he's been directly bought out. Back then, he made money for the sports bureau, but the credit belongs to the previous administration. To the current administration, Liu Xiang is just resting on past achievements, seen as a burden and a cost, so naturally, they want to find a way to optimize him out. They don’t care about your past contributions, only whether you still have value now.
