The 7 of Hearts coordinate

Zhang Jun was born November 26 (1977-11-26). Month 11 and day 26 give solar value 7, which is the 7 of Hearts (The Reflective Heart). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1977 is unused. The 7 of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Zhang Jun for People's Republic of China. Quoted system copy for the 7 of Hearts, not a biography of Zhang Jun: You look at love clearly without using analysis as a way not to feel it. You're wired to look beneath the surface of feeling, to seek the truth under the romance. You bring reflection and wisdom to love, asking what's real rather than what's merely pleasant. You can see emotional patterns others miss.

Zhang Jun in the public record

Following his retirement as an international player, he was a coach with the Chinese national team, and the chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association. As a doubles specialist, the solidly built Zhang Jun won several international men's doubles titles with compatriot Zhang Wei including the Swiss (1998), China (2001), and Thailand (2005) Opens. However, the majority of his titles, and the most prestigious ones, came in mixed doubles when he teamed up with the formidable Gao Ling. These included consecutive gold medals at the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games, earned by surviving a number of very close matches, particularly in 2000 when they were on the verge of elimination in the semifinals. In a similar fashion, Zhang and Gao captured the 2001 IBF World Championships by squeezing past the brilliant South Korean duo Kim Dong-moon and Ra Kyung-min 17–16 in the third game. Zhang's other titles with Gao include three victories (2001, 2003, and 2006) at the prestigious All-England Championships; the Badminton Asia Championships in 2002; the China Masters in 2005; and the China (2002, 2003), Japan (2003), Indonesia (2004), Malaysia (2004, 2006), Thailand (2005), Singapore (2005), and German (2006) Opens. Zhang had the honor of being an Olympic torch carrier at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Games. After retirement, Zhang Jun coached the Chinese national badminton team.
