  During a winter’s night in 1935, Xia Xinmin, a 21-year-old soldier in the Red Army, was climbing a snowy mountain.With heavy snowflakes flying around him, Xia felt shattered by the piercing cold wind? He couldn’t move one more step.So his friends tied him to the tail of a horse, dragging him forward.

  “You can’t imagine the cold, fighting for breath on the high mountain, ” said Xia.“But I survived thanks to help from other soldiers and our strong willpower.”

  Xia was among the soldiers who overcame the dangers of the 12,500-kilometre Long March.Surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang Army, the Red Army began the two-year march to escape.On October 22, 1936, they finally succeeded, arriving at Shaan’xi.

  This year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory? Seventy years have passed, but stories of the Red Army’s bravery have been passed down through families.“I was quite touched when my grandfather told me his wartime stories, ” said Guan Yingran, 17.His grandfather experienced countless dangers after he joined the Red Army at the age of eight.

  “Gradfather said it was their belief in winning a better life for all the people that finally led them out of darkness, ” said Guan.

  Yin Weidong a policeman who retraced the full route in October, fully understands the power of belief.The 34-year-old was really frightened when he fell into a swamp.“It helped me understand the spirit of the Long March which means you must never give up hope.”

  Recent years have seen groups of people like Yin retrace the march.Two Englishmen finished their new Long March in 2003.This summer students from 13 universities took part in a relay to cover the full route.In this way they figured out what young people could learn from the Long March.

  Lin Lu, a 17-year-old girl said the Long March encouraged her to work hard during Senior 3.“Like the soldiers, I believe in myself and that I can win a place at my dream school.” However, she said her bitterness is nothing compared to that of the army.“They lost their lives, but all that I lost was a few hours’ sleep.”

  “In modern society where beliefs tend to be lost, the Long March teaches people to search for them again, ” said Wang Shuzeng, author of the book “Long March” in 2006.

When the 29th Olympic Games is held in Beijing in 2008, it will be a place where all our dreams come true.

And the building that will hold those dreams is to be based on a nest-like design, planned jointly by Swiss and Chinese architects. The plan is for the main Olympic stadium: the National Stadium. Nest-like walls surrounding the stadium like a steel net proved to be a popular design. It won more than half the votes of over 6,000 visitors to an exhibition of 13 possible designs, which ended on March 31. Before the exhibition, the leading plan had been chosen as one of three top designs from 13 possible plans. The official announcement for the final winning design will be made sometime this month.

Guan Zhaoye, chairman of the group of official judges, said, “The top design is a perfect meeting of elegance(典雅) and simplicity.” The stand(看台) is a bowl-shape running circle. “People’s attention can focus on the competitive events instead of the stadium itself,” said Li Xinggang, one of the architects. “The excited crowds will become part of the building itself and they will stimulate(激发) the athletes.”

Many visitors said that the model is unusual, practical and mixes modern architecture with traditional Chinese culture. “I think it shows the idea of a nest where new life grows up. It is a really good idea,” said one visitor. But others disagreed and were unhappy about the building looking like a bird cage.

The 80,000-seat stadium, to be built in north Beijing, will host the opening and closing ceremonies(仪式) as well as track-and-field(田径) events during the 2008 Olympics. Construction work is set to start at end of this year.
