Forever Dancing:

The paralympic never fails to move me.

This time, it's the girl in pink, among the azure back ground, like a bloomed rose in the dark night, captured the beauty of the whole nature.

She is twelve, and she dances, which recalls my childhood, when dancing class was my favourite.

And then, there's May 12th, 2008. Maybe for her, there's no memory about that three days, only darkness. The fragile school building collapsed in the earthquake, pressing on her little body and her other classmates, her left leg stuck firmly in the relics.

The fainted girl was discovered the next day, but the rescuors couldn't pull her out without massive machineries which were unavailable to them for the roads were destroyed by the quake too.

The whole nation was watching her, anxious, helpless. For seventy hours, she stayed there, among the relics and probably, bodies of her former classmates. For seventy hours, she watch rescuors coming and going. She Struggled for life. She is twelve, the most blithe age.

Worrying that she couldn't survive anymore hours lying down the relics severly injured, the doctors decided to ampulate her leg to save her life.

Can you imagine the pain? You know you can dance the prettiest balad, you know you'll shine with your nimble limbs, but now, you watch yourself to be ampulated.

Luckily, she survived all.

And here she is, dancing in the center of paralympic opening ceremony, in the center of the world too. Elegantly did she sit on wheelchair, and the other dances around her mimic the movement of her legs. Yes, with our help and support, she can dance forever.

So she danced, with music, in pink dress like a princess in fairytale, who had survived the disaster and will be rewarded with all the happiness in the world.

She'll dance forever. Although real life maybe be crueler than the fairy tale, but she will dance forever.

When Olymic Games is comming to the town

Eight o’clock in the evening, the streets in this city with 3milliom population is empty.
No pedestrians wondering alone the road to enjoy their daily after-lunch walk, no sideway fruit sellers out for their last deal of the day. Most of the stores are closed hours before their close time. It’s not the New Years Eve when people nesttle at home with their family and friends, nor do the people take exodus; it’s the August 8, 2008 in China, the evening for opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games.

People finish their work early and come home to watch the live opening ceremonies on TV. Their expectations for the performances on the ceremony are soaring, as high as the index of their economy. A scarlet dancing man, the Olympic symbol become an everyday decoration in every city in China, on clothes and windows, jewelrys and road signs.

A gathering of the world is what modern Olympic games for. This times, however, it's a show of China to many Chinese.

The volunteers of the Beijing Olympic game is exorbitantly 170000, more than two times larger than the Athens, 70000. The major source of which comes from University students because they’re the only group of people that can speak English well enough to communicate with the foreign travelers. What may surprise the world, although the number is large, the enthusiasm of Chinese is so intense that there pose no difficulty at all to recruit such a group. College students from all around the nation have applied to serve the games, but only those in Beijing were accepted. In fact, dating back to two or three times ago, when the students were choosing the place for college, to volunteer for Olympic were in their minds during decision making.

To welcome the Olympic Games, the whole country is like the symbol, dancing in exhilaration, waving their hands to welcome the world.
