Why he might be annoying:

    He shares his name with a Tang prince, a petroleum engineer, and a baseball player.
    Injuries plagued him throughout the XXIV Summer Olympics (Seoul 1988).
    As a result, he won no medals at those Olympics.
    Searching his name on Google would yield more results pertaining to the clothing company he founded rather than about himself.

Why he might not be annoying:

    In 1982, he won six of the seven medals awarded at the Sixth World Cup Gymnastic Competition, earning him the title 'Prince of Gymnastics.'
    His six medals won at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles were the most for any athlete that year.
    Until 2008, he was the most decorated Chinese athlete at either Summer or Winter Olympics.
    He was the final torchbearer and thus lighted the cauldron at the Opening Ceremonies for the XXIX Summer Olympics (Beijing 2008).
