Daily photos taken by the organizer of Great Wall of China Marathon can
be found here!
http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/greatwallmarathon_japan

It is a great news for us all that the theme song of Beijing 2008
Olympic Games at the Opening Ceremony would be Ms.Sarah Brightman and
Chinese famous singer Mr.Liu Huang.

The organizer of the Great Wall of China Marathon listened to the songs
sung by Ms.Sarah Brightman more than 30 times in the August 2007 and it
is a greatest surprise and so great news that she would sing the
Olympic song two days from now.

We are uploading our photos of August 5, 2008 here in the following the
same BLOG we mentioned in the previous message!

Good morning to you from Beijing!
Beijing is become a sleepless city from the beginning of
August,because the Olympic will start soon 3 days from now!

On August 3,we go to visit the 798 Art District in northeast Beijing
and we found that many overseas visitors are from Europe and French
is the language we could hear very often.TV station from Switszerland
also set up a studio in the art district!Actually we have already
uploaded the 18 new photos here in the BLOG.
http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/greatwallmarathon_japan

In the eveing we went to the bar street at Sanlitun in Beijing, we
drank beers at the three different bars till the over 2 o'clock in
the early morning of August 4 so we could not come here for the
timely update.

All the bars outside and inside are crowded with the overseas friends
and I could see that one of American was so excited that in the break
he went to the stage and held the guitar and sang his American song.

Most beautiful Chinese girls could be seen singing and dancing in the
bars.Here is the one we uploaded 10 minutes ago.Hope you could feel
and see it clearly!:)
http://www.youtube.com/v/TTW62FqFTk0

And yesterday we made two clear video at Tiananmen Square,you could
see how crowded the square is and if you could also see the Part 2,
it was so unique that the organizer of Great Wall of China Marathon
went to the front of the soliders to film what you could not almost
see.
Tiananmen Square Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/v/tXLbpRKkc-s
Tiananmen Square Part 2
http://www.youtube.com/v/UAS2GpGnxwA

Because the group here could not have the capacity to hold more
photos so in one hour you could see some more original photos that we
took yesterday in Beijing from the Blog we mentioned above!

It was a wonderful day for all the people in Beijing!The foreign media
are making the reports from morning till night from the different
corners of Beijing!The foreign athletes are coming to Beijing day by
day and for those who have already been Beijing are actively making the
training and enjoy the most beautiful city life of Beijing City!For the
Chinese people in Beijing, they experienced the firework rehearsal from
Yongdingmen to the bird nest at night!At least more than 100,000 people
watched this from inside and around the National Stadium for the
Opening Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games!

We would like to upload some video tonight and we have already uploaded
8 new pictures about Beijing 6 days beofre the Olympic Games here:
http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/greatwallmarathon_japan

The Beijing Olympic Game will be held next Friday, so today the people
working at the Overseas Office of Great Wall of China Marathon come
back to Beijing for one month!So from today you would be able to know
more daily live report and photo from Beijing and possible from other
part of China!

The photo on the frontpage of Adventure China was taken this morning at
Beijing Capital International Airport.

If you have any questions that you want to know and want to ask about
Beijing Today through the eyes of the organizers of Great Wall of China
Marathon,we would be very pleased to answer you and take the photos you
want to see for you!

dear hi

那些孩子，远在天堂里的你们，好吗？

　　那些孩子，那些素不相识、原本生活在那个叫“天府之国”的美丽地方的孩子；
那些家境并不富裕，却同样是操劳一生的父母的心肝宝贝、掌上明珠的孩子；那些生
活在流动着清新空 气的大山里，和高山一样质朴、和泉水一样清澈的孩子；那些带着
红领巾、扎着羊角辫，穿着彩色衣衫觉得漂亮极了、和小伙伴背着书包高高兴兴上学
去了的孩子，那些有着最纯真的 童心、最迷人的笑脸、做着最快乐的游戏，像春天的
花儿一样含苞待放的孩子们，你们好吗？

　　你们在人间睡着了，不再醒来，天使再也看不到你们的活泼和可爱，天使也哭泣
了，所以，它把你们带去了天堂，那是一个最最安全的地方。那里同样有你们最敬爱
的老师，有最亲密 的小伙伴，陪伴你们唱歌，陪着你们上课，陪着你们嬉戏。在那
里，你们再也不会寂寞，再也不会害怕，因为你们都化作了天使，那是你们在童话中
经常梦到的、最羡慕、最喜欢、最 想扮演的美丽天使。

　　我看到了你们睡着时的模样，我不停地流泪，因为我能想象，那一刻，弱小的你
们一定不知所措，很惊慌，很害怕；你们一定都哭着在喊爸爸妈妈，你们一定希望有
亲人在身边，用宽 大的手臂和胸膛，把你们紧紧地抱在怀中，为你们遮挡轰然倒坍的
楼房，遮挡这人世间最深重的苦难。可是，没有，不是你们的父母不想、不是我们所
有的人们不愿这样做，而是苍天 太残酷，而是生命太脆弱，而是我们来不及。看着你
们惊恐地缩成了一团，簇拥在一起，无助地在残垣断壁中寻求着安详和温暖的最后的
样子，我只能祈求，那给你们致命的一击，那 让你们痛苦地睡去的一瞬间，能够短些
再短些。

　　孩子们，你们走了，不能回家了，在任何人都没有想到、无法承受的猝不及防
中。尽管你们还不懂什么叫留恋，但是我看见了在废墟尘土中，散落着你们心爱的印
着小熊的铅笔盒，你 们五彩缤纷的常常互相炫耀的小书包，你们央求父母节省下零用
钱买的崭新的油画棒，你们穿得有些旧了却依然不舍丢弃的小球鞋，还有你们最最爱
惜的、生怕别人弄上一粒灰尘的依 然翻开着的书本。我知道，在那最后一刻，你们或
许还想着它们，惦念着它们，因为它们都是你们的世界你们的宝贝。放心吧，孩子
们，你们的父母，我们所有的人，会把他们捡起，

　　在心底，也会把它们珍藏，因为看见它们就如同看见你们，想起它们就如同想到
你们，那曾经的一个个鲜活明媚的小生命，那曾经如花般绽放的灿烂无瑕的脸庞。

　　孩子们，好好地。在天堂，在有梦的地方。不哭了，还象以前一样的笑，好吗？
因为这样，我们才会少一些痛苦，少流一些泪水。不要担心这距离，你们的父母、我
们所有的人们，会 在每一个有星星的晚上，隔着遥远的夜空，呼唤你们，牵挂你们，
祝福你们，一如从前一样爱着你们。
