Longing for 2008

Beijing’s bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games was a success. People across the country have devoted themselves to supporting the 2008 Olympic Games with great excitement and joy. Every city counts down to the Olympics in a different way. Every school carries out various activities to prepare for the Olympics. The figures of the Fuwa dolls on the screen are jumping for joy. They are the mascots of the 2008 Olympic Games. Their names mean: Beijing welcomes you! This is the glory of the motherland and the pride of the people across the country.

I imagined standing at the 2008 Olympic Games venue - the Beijing Sports Arena. In the blue, clear sky full of colorful balls, in the jubilant sound of gongs, drums and horns, there is fierce competition in the Olympic Games.

The young table tennis players inherited the skills of their predecessors and fought fiercely to show their prestige in the national football team; the race walking team members braved the heat and sweat to walk to the end regardless of the long distance and hot weather; the weightlifting team members gritted their teeth and achieved great results again ; The divers jumped lightly on the springboard, and then jumped out of the unprecedented Olympic gold medal in 2008 and the glorious chapter of the Chinese Olympic Games...More exciting thoughts are jumping in the mind, as if being pulled by the strong wind, boundless extension.

The Olympic Games is a topic that attracts worldwide attention. Who was the first to bring it up? If it hadn't been brought up, there wouldn't be any Olympics now! By 2008, it was already the 29th Olympic Games. In the course of more than 100 years of Olympic Games, China has gone from failure to success, from a weak country to a sports power. By studying history, I learned that Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for our country in 1984. That was when China changed the true meaning of the Olympics. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, China won 31 gold medals and set new world records many times. I think this is the best proof that people in our country are no longer the "sick men of East Asia" and our country has developed into a sports power. At the same time, every provincial capital, city, school, and people in China will also witness China’s victory today and its glory tomorrow.

I am looking forward to the 2008 Olympic Games, which is less than a year away. During this period, all we can do is study hard, improve our own quality, and do our part for the Olympic Games. There are many outstanding brothers and sisters in our school's track and field team. Every day when I pass by the playground after school, I see them running hard. I told them that they might be the new generation of athletes in next year's Olympics.

Looking up, all the dreams and hopes of people are flying in the blue sky. If possible, I hope to fly to Beijing at 08:00 to be a volunteer. However, now I think I should work hard, study hard, and work hard in the track and field games held by our school!

Looking forward to 2008! Looking forward to the passionate Olympics!

The Olympics is a battlefield without smoke. The essential purpose of war between humans is not to massacre, but to make the enemy surrender. This is fully realized in the Olympic Games. As an advanced animal, human beings have the dual attributes of cooperation and war. Otherwise, there would not be so many wars in the world. I hope that the Olympic Games can become the final battlefield for human competition and desire to win, and that real bloody wars can be eliminated.

The Olympic Games are an expo of human physical fitness. Like a dolphin, there are so many graceful swimming styles in the Olympic Games; like a cheetah, sprinting 100 meters with lightning speed; like an eagle, with ambitions in gymnastics and diving. The only fly in the ointment is that humankind's greatest potential - the ability to invent, manufacture and utilize tools - failed to become an Olympic event.

The Olympic Games are a stage that showcases strength, will, skill, natural beauty, and physical limits, winning the favor of hundreds of millions of viewers. People are inspired by wins, regretful by mistakes, and proud by participation. Every medal is more important than the Oscar and Golden Bear trophies

The Olympic Games are the epitome of life. The champion is lucky. Under the pyramid leading to the championship, how many unknown heroes are struggling to climb for it; the championship is short-lived. Today's champion may not be famous tomorrow. The championship is relative. The champion of a certain event is very important in other aspects. He may be an imbecile; championships are glorious, but when he sang the national anthem and burst into tears, what he thought about was not how glorious the future would be, but the years of injuries and hard training; championships are precious. Yes, he has a lot of perseverance, self-challenge, and the spirit of climbing to the top.

The Olympic Games are the holy gathering of mankind.

Apart from it, which other human social activity can be carried out in such a just, peaceful and festive atmosphere! I wish that the Olympic spirit will last forever and bring peace, joy, prosperity and hope to the world.

The Olympic spirit is worth learning!

This is a grand festival, and the whole world is excited. The Olympics occupies my spare time. Every four years, I have to indulge myself. The first thing I do when I get home from get out of class is to turn on the TV and stare at the screen to search. You don’t have to watch it, just wait until after the Olympic program is over.

The "host Bai" whom I least want to see but must see every day, calls me both "love" and "hate". His gushing literary thoughts and sharp teeth made people like me, who also rely on their mouths, despair. His nearly perfect comments every time made me feel that he was too far away from me, beyond the Olympics. But Ning Xin's kind smile and excited tears made me realize the sincerity and truth from the heart.

The Olympic athletes on the field allow us to truly understand the Olympic spirit. Bravery and tenacity are not enough to summarize the indomitable spirit of Gao Ling and Zhang Jun; confidence and stability cannot reveal the mental journey of Xiong Ni and Fu Mingxia. The goals they have pursued unremittingly for more than ten years give us answers throughout our lives. This is the power that transcends individuals, and this is the competition that transcends the same field. The Olympic spirit brings purification of the soul and harmony around the world.

Although the fierce competition involved too much sweat, tears and blood of the athletes, although I hid from the living room to the bedroom and the balcony several times, and did not sneak out until the national anthem was played, But I hope that the sacred flame will never go out and that people all over the world will be in peace.

When we are impetuous, tired or discouraged in life, the Olympic Games held every four years are an accelerant. It is exciting and inspiring, and it accompanies us through one after another. Four years, it represents the unremitting pursuit of all mankind towards the highest realm

Our 2008-Olympic Essay

In the middle of the 19th century, due to the Greeks’ rising interest in reviving the ancient Olympics Passionate, so King Otto issued the "Olympic Order", 1896, Athens - the first Greek Olympic Games. In this way, the ancient Greek civilization, which was once glorious in history, reappeared like a storm.

To this day, the Olympic Games still play an important role in the hearts of each of us. Because it is not a simple sports competition, but an eternal belief, which means that the beating flame of the Olympic Games will never go out.

In 1908, the magazine "Tianbing Youth" asked all Chinese people three questions: First, when can China send an athlete to participate in the Olympics? Second, when will China send a team to the Olympics? Third, when can China host the Olympic Games? For China now, the first two have already been realized, but what about the dream of hosting the Olympics? I believe and firmly believe that 2008 is our year.

“Green Olympics, Science and Technology Olympics, and Humanistic Olympics” are the three slogans for Beijing to host the Olympic Games. Green is an eternal theme. The Olympic Games adapt to the times and make the color of the global village more complete. The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games' environmental commitments are: energy recycling, water recovery, reduction and avoidance of waste, pollution and protection of important natural and cultural landscapes. The comprehensive cleaning and renovation of Heimbush Bay, where the Sydney Olympics are located, can be regarded as the essence of the "Green Olympics". And we, as the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games, start from ourselves and become "environmentalists", not only to welcome the Olympics, but also to protect the future of Beijing.

As the capital of the country, technology is the focus of attention at any time. Although we are still in the developing stage, the construction of Beijing proves our capabilities to the world: highways extending in all directions, institutions of higher learning at all levels, electronic monitoring of traffic, the launch of the Shenzhou spacecraft... these show that we already have The scientific and technological power to host the Olympic Games.

Similarly, being a Chinese requires some national style that embodies the essence of China’s five thousand years of culture and reveals the spirit of the Olympic movement. You must know that our mission is to dedicate to mankind a precious spiritual wealth, an attitude towards life, a philosophy of life, a free, harmonious, healthy and positive realistic theory, and also a kind of human civilization. ***Same legacy. The responsibility for hosting the Olympics lies not only with the National Olympic Committee, but also with ordinary Chinese like us. Maintain the spirit of Beijing.

Welcome to create an Olympic Games with Chinese heritage.

"NEW BEIJING GRENT OLYRNPICS" is our, an ancient oriental country's longing for 2008 and our aspirations for 2008.

From the moment the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee took over the Olympic flag from the Athens Olympics, this special and strong spiritual power has been inspiring us. Under the slogan of "Higher, Faster, Stronger" and under the voice of "Unity, Friendship, Progress" that embodies the progress of mankind, all our descendants of Yan and Huang will usher in such a grand ceremony for all mankind, a A global sports gathering!

When the beating flame is first introduced to the holy land of civilization in the Yellow River Basin, the world will be moved by it

Every time I admire the Olympic Games badge, I always feel another way, another feeling. A mood.

In people's eyes, the Olympic Games are a paradise for successful people and a paradise for heroes. In fact, the Olympic Games is not just about flowers and honors, not just gold medals and applause, not just success and joy. However, there are also bitter memories of defeat and unforgettable bitter experiences, which have also built up the Great Wall of Olympic spirit.

Four years ago, in a small town in the north, I met a retired Beijing Guoan player in his 20s by chance. I got to know him through the exchange. An unquiet heart.

He said: 12 years ago, I was just 8 years old, and I was old enough to go to school. However, I liked sports and football. I entered a sports school and started a sports life. I spent many holidays on the sports field. Get through. When other people's children are learning knowledge and growing up, I have to give up the family happiness of the family, give up the opportunity to learn and improve, and fight hard on the sports field. After ten years of training, my football skills have improved greatly, and I successfully entered Beijing Guoan and became a professional player. However, most of my friends were eliminated. They sacrificed their youth and their studies, not just for the Olympics. Glory and dreams? However, the God of fate still could not let go of me, a lucky man. During a game, I broke my thigh and was kicked out of the sports field forever. At that painful moment, my spirit was about to collapse. The sports field was so cruel. , the sports field is so inhumane, how many people have sacrificed in exchange for the halo of individual people on the pyramid, but now who can understand the pain in my heart? Who can help me get out of the swamp of life?

I can understand the mood of a player who bids farewell to the sports field. I can understand the hardships they have put in. I can also understand the twists and turns of their lives in the future. However, society cannot forget them, and the Olympics cannot forget them.

In Taiyuan, Shanxi, a 30-year-old passionate young man, from a sports perspective, he has no more passion and vitality, no more advantages. , however, he has an Olympic dream and wants to participate in the marathon at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. In order to realize this dream, he gave up his job of 10 years, the opportunity to reunite with his relatives, and the love life with his lover. He resolutely came to Beijing, came to the boring sports ground, and faced five or six times a day. After hours of ultra-exercise training, facing athletes who were almost half his size on the sports field, he did not slack off or neglect at all. He said: I have worked hard for ten years for this day. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, I train shirtless. This is really unbelievable to ordinary people, but I must persevere in what I have seen. As time goes by, the Olympic Games will accompany me through 16 years of hard work. This is my Olympic complex.

It is not very important whether a 36-year-old wonder can create miracles in the Olympics. His diligent spirit will be eternal and will forever be written on the monument of the Olympic spirit and will be engraved forever. On the emblem of the 29th Olympic Games.

Six years ago, a 13-year-old child told me that he wanted to apply for the "Chinese Football Championship". Faced with the child's simple thoughts and expectations, I He was thinking that maybe it was the unsuccessful bid to host the 2000 Beijing Olympics, the excitement of Chinese football's repeated defeats, or the longing for Olympic glory and dreams that inspired him to do so. As parents, we adapt to our children and let them realize their dreams. Saying goodbye to relatives and classmates, they spread their youth and sweat on a land thousands of kilometers away. However, the road to sports competition is extremely difficult, and children's efforts may not necessarily be rewarded and harvested.

Such a result is shocking to see. Out of more than 1,000 young players, only 4-5 have entered professional clubs, and the dreams of others have come to nothing. When the child bid farewell to the court in tears, there was only a certificate from a national second-level athlete recording his demeanor yesterday. The child has worked hard for three years for the college entrance examination, and his simulation results have been hovering on the edge of reaching the score. We are still full of hope. According to the Olympic strategy determined by the country, Beijing’s college entrance examination extra point standard for athletes is 80.50.30. However, this province, which is a backward region, only adds 5 points to the college entrance examination for national level two athletes, which is incredible. This mere 5 points is because the education officials have not recorded it in the files. What a terrible regional discrimination.

The sacrifices of thousands of people have led to the fame of a few athletes, and tens of millions of personal investments have led to success at the top of the pyramid. This is competitive sports. Looking at the Olympic badge, I feel proud of the successes, but also proud of the losers. Even though they lose, they are still glorious. They are the true heroes of the Olympics and hope to be recognized and understood by the society.

Here, I would like to express my highest respect to all friends who have Olympic dreams and Olympic complex!

Beijing Olympics! Olympic Games Beijing!

When Samaranch walked slowly to the rostrum, when Samaranch gently opened the sealed envelope containing the city that bid for the Olympic Games, when Samaranch slowly spit out the two words "bei jing" word. Beijing is boiling, China is boiling. This moment became so brilliant!

Happy, happy, we are so happy! Beijing won, Beijing succeeded! In the tense atmosphere, in the laughter, in the sound of drums and the deafening sound of firecrackers, we are heading for success!

I have been paying attention to the "Olympic bid" for a long time. The difference between this Olympic bid and the 1993 Olympic bid is that everyone from leading officials, ordinary citizens, all walks of life, and the media that guide everyone's audiovisual They all showed an unusual calmness, calmness and calmness. People still go to work, go to class, and work in a step-by-step manner, and the roads are still busy with traffic. The old people enjoying the shade under the shade of the trees shake their fans peacefully, and the playful children are laughing and chasing each other in the sunshine. There are no Olympic bid signs and posters overwhelming the streets, and there are no slogans and slogans that are determined to win. The atmosphere in the air is expectant but restrained.

Yesterday, we spent the last day of this long period of anticipation. We have been waiting for this day for another eight years.

This is a historical expectation. When the Frenchman Coubertin held high the banner of peace, friendship, justice and progress in 1894 and advocated the first modern Olympics; when Liu Changchun represented the Chinese people for the first time in the Olympics in 1932; when Xu Haifeng in 1984 When a crisp gunshot announced a historic breakthrough in Chinese sports; when Samaranch spit out that the city to bid for the Olympic Games was "Sydney" in 1993; when Chinese athletes returned in triumph with 28 gold medals in 2000 At that time, we had an expectation - looking forward to Beijing hosting the new Olympic Games, so that we would no longer look at the "Olympic spirit" across the ocean, but let the concept of "faster, higher, stronger" in our It unfolds in our hearts and flies in our hands. However, the expectation is no longer as eager for quick success as in the past.

This is also a rational expectation. After eight years, we have experienced ups and downs. We are no longer excited for success, and we no longer demand harsh blame for failure. This is a positive expectation. We no longer pursue formal proof. We have been working hard in anticipation. The direction of our efforts is no longer just to bid for the Olympics. We no longer maintain the fate of the country and the nation in hosting a large-scale event. at sporting events. Beijing's bid for the Olympics and the capital's bid for the Olympics took place eight years ago; in the past eight years, we have been working hard, we are making progress, our efforts have a direction, and our progress is obvious. What we need is to gain in this process, and we have indeed gained strength, courage, confidence, and a mature mentality.

On Friday, July 13, before getting off work, I invited some friends to go home to watch the Olympic bid and feel the exciting moment of the Olympic bid together. When the end of get off work rang, my heart had already flown to the Olympics. When I couldn't wait to open the door, I turned on the TV before I could put on my slippers. A promotional video about Toronto, Canada, was playing, and the statement about China had not yet arrived. Friends have arrived one by one.

Beijing’s presentation began at 7 o’clock. Samaranch gave an opening speech, and the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee delegation began its presentation, accompanied by the spectacular promotional video of the Beijing Olympic Bid Committee. The entire promotional video Unpretentious, just like our nation - large, tolerant and open. At this time, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, saying nothing or doing much. Everyone was waiting silently, waiting for that exciting moment so that their emotions could be fully released.

The TV screen locks our sight and enhances our mood. The presentation was over and we began to wait for over an hour.

I feel like the waiting in my memory is always long, but this time the hour passed quickly amid heated discussions and ardent hopes. The hour hand turned to ten o'clock, and voting was about to begin. The most exciting moment is coming.

Osaka was eliminated in the first round, and a short burst of cheers broke out. The short-lived joy was quickly taken over by anxiety and worry. After cheering, everyone began to discuss, "Does Beijing have a big advantage? Will the votes supporting Osaka go to Beijing?" "Even if Beijing loses, the worst is We will lose in the fourth round, and we don’t know who will win yet, so don’t worry about it for the time being. “While everyone was comforting each other, the sound on the TV suddenly became louder, and all eyes and attention immediately shifted to the TV:” Come on, the results of the second round are out.” Just as he was talking, the announcer came from the TV, "Mr. Samaranch will now announce the cities that will bid for the 2008 Olympic Games." Samaranch walked slowly to the rostrum and said "bei jing". We know that Beijing won the right to host the 29th Olympic Games in 2008! "Oh——" "YE——" We hugged each other, jumped, and cheered. Indescribable joy hit my heart, and we shed tears...

Everything after that The whole country is immersed in the joy of success, and language has become exhausted at this time. People just held up their hands with forgetfulness, shouted, shouted, and hugged each other. Champagne, balloons, flowers, and the excitement and pride that filled the air. Eight years of waiting, eight years of waiting...

Remember this day, July 13, 2001; remember this moment, 22:08 Beijing time.

In 2008, we meet in Beijing!

Learn about the true nature of human nature by following the Olympic Games

The Olympic Games is held every four years, and I returned to my hometown of Greece after 108 years. After the sacred fire in Athens, which had been burning for sixteen days, was extinguished, people on the Aegean Sea continued to sing. In this birthplace of ancient human civilization, which is already rich in myths, many modern versions of myths were performed and recited. Many of them made reporters and The audience and even the athletes themselves found the tragic and comic ending unbelievable and unexpected... After talking about it with great relish or sighing, I always feel that the real meaning of every ecstasy, exclamation, indignation, and sigh does not seem to lie in what happened. What is magical, but what people really think deeply about when they gradually calm down after the magic appears.

No matter others, I understand at least two things about the true meaning of human nature:

First, mentality. People who are not particularly intelligent probably know that no matter how much persistence and effort anyone puts into the pursuit of any kind of career, the harvest will be fruits with varying flavors of sweetness, sourness, and bitterness. Because in the entire pursuit process, there are bound to be many external factors at play that can be affected but may not be controlled by you. Under certain circumstances, it may even play a decisive role. As far as China is concerned, there is Du Li's charming smile, Wang Yifu's old tears, Liu Xiang's sudden emergence, Zhu Qinan's instant fame, Li Ting and Sun Tiantian's emergence, and Jia Zhanbo's pie from the sky. , Zhang Yining's domineering attitude, and the women's volleyball team's majesty; the same elation is also mixed with the melancholy about the withered roses of the women's football team, the resentment that the Three Musketeers were bullied and wronged, the regret for Wang Kenan's mistake, and the regret for He Ying's grievances with tears in her eyes, her heartache for Zhan Xugang's three defeats, and her sorrow for Sun Fuming's eight-year dream being shattered... Whether it's happiness, sadness, resentment or hatred, whether it's sour, sweet or too bitter to swallow, for As far as any competitive sports and competition environment is concerned, it is said to be extremely normal.

Regardless of whether you are in authority or an outsider, if you have this psychological preparation, you will not be overly grateful, regretful, and regretful for their and your past efforts, and you will not be extravagant, slack off, or disappointed with your continued efforts in the future. Then he straightened his spine, patted his chest and said: Success is a joy, failure is also a joy. When the sun sets and the sun rises, I welcome the morning light with my heart. As long as you have paid and continue to pay unremittingly, you will have the hope of success, which is the true nature of life, and your journey through this world will be worthwhile!

This leads to the second point - demeanor. The Chinese people have always liked to judge heroes based on their success or failure. "The winner is a prince, the loser is a bandit." This is why they have inherited a bad habit of winning but not being able to lose. Take a look at the overwhelming talk of hindsight in newspapers and TV networks - success is a joy, and it doesn't matter if you laugh, cry, shout, jump, or go crazy with joy. What needs to be paid attention to is just the little details of a child's development from childhood to adulthood, nurtured by his parents, teachers, and coaches, or even a few innocent photos. As for the power of patriotism, passion, fighting spirit, family affection, care and love... they are even used as arguments and arguments for praise; are you happy to lose? The loser himself wants to be happy, but he wants to pick himself up and start all over again. Others are furious and quit - let alone specific mistakes, analysis and even speculation on the causes and consequences have become the reasons for criticism and derogation. When it comes to mistakes, who can compare to Emmons who hit the wrong target or Johnson who fell under the fence? Moreover, people just shrugged and gave it up with an embarrassed smile, and no one tried to trace the source of the incident and call him a bastard. And that Johnson still went to the finals to watch the game with great interest, and cheered for our little Liu Xiang's extraordinary performance... Of course, we also have our own role models. For example, after the last jump from heaven to hell, Peng Bo gave his teammate Wang Kenan a light tap on the shoulder; for example, Jin Changbai, who lost by only one goal twice and failed to win a medal, took the blame alone; for example, after the men's Three Musketeers were assassinated, Still shaking hands to congratulate the Italian "rogue" champion; for example, when seeing the gold medal falling away, Chen Zhonghe still managed to turn the tide with a simple smile; again... let's not forget it. No matter what, style is not a gold medal! The glory of a sports powerhouse, the halo above one's head, and the coveted banknotes cannot be exchanged. But how much K should be used to label its gold content in the true sense of human nature?

I think Olympic athletes can be admired whether they succeed or fail. I see myself and my friends doing the same thing. A letter to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games

2008 Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee:

The 2004 Athens Olympic Games is over. The flame that burned for seventeen days has been extinguished, but the scenes were wonderful. The moment is still vivid in my mind, and the Chinese Olympic key players competing for gold and silver still give people inspiration and passion. In four years' time, in 2008, the 29th Olympic Games will be held grandly in Beijing, and the Olympic five-ring flag will fly over the land of China! How could I, an ordinary young pioneer, not be proud of China's successful Olympic bid?

Let me talk about the Beijing Olympics in my heart! At 8 pm on August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony began. Accompanied by the clear ancient music "Mountains and Flowing Waters", an ink landscape painting is presented to the audience. I want to use mountains and water to represent the essence of China's philosophical thought in 2200, to represent the harmonious unity between China's environment and human living space, and to highlight the concept of "Green Olympics". Along with the songs and dances that express China's long history and rich cultural heritage, the emblem of the Olympic Games - the Chinese Seal - floats out from the green mountains and green waters, conveying the far-reaching traditional Chinese culture to the audience, as if in Promise to the world "to host the most outstanding Olympic Games in history." In people's expectant eyes, the mascot of the Beijing Olympic Games, Sun Wukong, flew to the venue on a somersault cloud. You can see him tumbling and jumping in the field to the drums of Peking Opera, with the golden cudgel in his hand flying up and down. At this time, colorful fireworks shot straight into the night sky, complementing the five-ring flag and China's seal. The opening ceremony reached its climax. Sun Wukong pointed his golden hoop at a distance, the main torch was lit, and the venue was filled with joy. The Olympic flame will witness a "new Olympics, new Beijing." How about it? My creativity is pretty good!

I know that Olympic athletes are all holding back their motivation to win Olympic gold medals in their own countries. Then we must keep in mind the Olympic spirit and strive for the eternal goal of "faster, higher, stronger". With strong confidence and superb technology, we will be able to overcome difficulties one after another, defeat each opponent, and serve the country Earn honor.

I will cheer for you and applaud you!

The Beijing Olympics are the Olympics for all of us. We should also contribute to the Beijing Olympics. I would like to issue an initiative for young pioneers to take action and use their spare time to plant more trees, pick up garbage frequently, do more publicity work, and mobilize the whole society to create a "Green Olympics".

I yearn for Beijing! Looking forward to 2008! The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games will be even more exciting under the sunshine! It will be even more beautiful against the background of "Dancing China (Emblem)"! Let us cheer and jump together and look forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

Wish the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games a success!
