Xinhuanet Beijing1October 30th (Li Xiang, Li Jiangtao) At 23: 35 on February 30th, 2006, the "Smile Circle" of Beijing Olympic Volunteers was officially released.

The 734-year-old Bell and Drum Tower is covered with "laser clothes". Colorful laser beams are hundreds of meters long, like a fluorescent stick waving over the Bell and Drum Tower Square, and the night sky shines like day. Laser and imaging lights are reflected on the wall of the clock tower, and the whole outer wall of the clock tower becomes a huge projection screen. The image of China athletes fighting bravely on the field and the smiling faces of Beijingers flowing in 2008 are vividly on the wall. Slogans such as "Smile Beijing" are also displayed on the outer wall of the Drum Tower.

Nearly a thousand Beijing residents living near the Bell and Drum Tower were also attracted by the lights and spontaneously joined the celebration. At 23: 40, Liu Jian, secretary of the Beijing Communist Youth League Committee, announced the official release of the "Smile Circle" and revealed its symbolic significance. Five banners flow from the Drum Tower to the main stage, and the meaning of five colors of smiling circle is written on the banner. 500 young volunteers shouted slogans: "Smile at Beijing, volunteer for the Olympics and create harmony together!" The live drums and music came one after another, and the applause and cheers of volunteers and audience merged into a grand symphony, which resounded through the sky. Bell and Drum Tower Square is boiling in the temperature of MINUS 6 degrees Celsius!

At 23: 59: 30, thousands of spectators and volunteers counted down in unison. At 0: 00 on June 0, 2007, Deng Yaping, Xu Haifeng, Chen, Tai Lihua, Yan Su and other 12 representatives from all walks of life boarded the bell tower and led volunteers to ring this bronze bell with a history of nearly 600 years. 108 melodious bells spread from the center of Beijing to the surrounding areas, wishing the Olympics and heading for the "smile circle".
