Ladies and gentlemen: At the mention of BeijingĄ¯s bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, I feel extremely thrilled about it. However, I keep asking myself what it is going to mean if Beijing finally wins the honor to host the 2008 Olympic Games. Probably, to a government official, it would mean the creation of jobs, the promotion of economic development and the demonstration of national power; to a Beijing citizen, it would mean the betterment of environment, the improvement of living conditions and the enhancement of city image; to me, a common Chinese youth, it is going to mean a chance to enjoy, a chance to learn, and a chance to show. First, the Olympic Games will serve as a marvelous enjoyment for me. I will be seeing people of my age struggling to win, shedding sweat, even blood.
