We made it!

There was an exhilarating (使人高兴的，令人振奋的) feeling in the air last night in Beijing.

When retiring President of the International Olympic Committee (lOC) Juan Antonio Samaranch announced that Beijing had won the 2008 Summer Olympic Games hid yester-day in Moscow, Chinese people know their dream to host modern Olympic Games had fi-nally come true.

The victory is a source of pride not only for Beijing but for all Chinese. It was nation wide support that sustained the bid effort and led it to its final success.

Ever since Beijing’s first bid failed in 1993, it has been the business of every Chinese national to root for and encourage the city’s second attempt to host the Olympics. All of China, from the government to its citizens, has pledged all-out support for the bid.

The Olympic philosophy states: “Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal funda-mental ethnical principles.” Beijing is ready to put its wisdom, strength and character to the ultimate test in the next seven years to fulfil this goal.

We believe the city will make the 2008 Olympic Games the most unique one ever.

We also believe the Games will leave a legacy to the country’s environment and human rights.

As He Zhenliang, a Iongtime IOC member from China, said in China’s bid presenta-tion, “The Olympic flame lights up the way of progress for humanity. By voting for Bei-jing you will bring the Games for the first time in history to a country which has one fifth of the world’s population. The message you send today may signal the beginning of a new era of global unity.”
