Chinese people welcomed the upcoming Olympic Games in various ways on
Wednesday, 100 days ahead of the gala.
In the northwestern Shaanxi province, a countdown placard for the
Olympics was erected on the square of the Terra-cotta Museum in the
capital city, Xi'an. The ceremony was attended by He Zhenliang, former
vice-chairman of the International Olympic Committee and honorary
chairman of China's Olympic Committee.
"I have tasted both the bitterness of loss and the happiness of
success during China's two applications for hosting the Games," he
said. "Now that it is just 100 days away, I believe that it will
become a success and a milestone, both in world Olympic history and in
China."
Liu Mei, a farmer who went to Xi'an just for the ceremony, appeared
excited. "The Olympics is drawing near and it is quite a hot topic
among us. We are also ready, to cheer for China, cheer for Beijing."
