Bravo, Beijing Olympics!

All these days I have been enjoying a feast of various matches, exhilarated by China's great achievements during the days so far. 31 gold medals...and still more to come!

I have been indulged in an ecstasy of delight out of the everfighting spirits those athletes have demonstrated to us. I am touched by their never-give-up conviction, from which I should learn a lot.

While embracing our own heroes, do not forget to applause to those who have failed. They may have lost the games, but they have won gold medals by realizing the spirits of the Olympic Games.

The Games has brought peace to the world. Russia and Georgia have agreed not to go to war during the games, and we are happy to see the Iraqi athletes finally show up at the opening ceremony. The Games has brought precious peace to these countries, though it may be a flash of light to them.

Bravo, Beijing Olympics!
