The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, China in 2008. Beijing chooses five friendlies as Olympic mascots. They are Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini. They mean “Welcome to Beijing”. The Blue Beibei is a fish, the black Jingjing is a panda, the red Huanhuan is the Olympic flame, the yellow Yingying is the Tibetan antelope and the green Nini is a swallow.They carry a message of friendship and peace—the blessings from the Chinese to the people from all over the word
On May 12th , 2008, a worst earthquake in the past decades struck Sichuan
Province, China. People suffered great loss in their lives and properties.
Most buildings were razed in worst-hit areas with so many people, including
school students, buried underneath the ruins. Roads and communication
facilities have been completely destroyed ,thus cut off from outside. A large
number of school buildings collapsed and only a few teachers and students
escaped. What was worse, days of rain has held back relief efforts.
Fortunately, our government is taking effective measures to rescue those
trapped and buried. Premier Wen Jiabao was quick to reach the scene and
personally oversaw the relief work. "As long as there is even a little hope,
we will redouble our efforts 100 times and will never relax our efforts,” he
told crying locals. Troops and medical teams have been rushed to dig for
survivors and treat the injured without a moment’s rest. The population in the
surrounding countryside is helping donating food and water for those affected.
Financial aid has been pouring in from all over China. Substantial donations
from other countries and humanitarian organizations have also been offered.
I believe we can certainly overcome the disaster with the public and the
government working together.
