blood & flesh
i need sleep...and more sleep.
last night i watched the whole opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games ... from 1.45 until 5.00 o'clock this morning..urgh!!! tired!
some pple say it's a waste of time to just watch all the teams marching through the sport field. Initially, i also thought so. But when shuhui told me she wanted to watch the whole process, i responded that i was also going to watch, almost without any hesitation. i did question myself why i gave her that response... and later, i found out the answer.
我想，观看奥运会开幕式对我，或者是对我们来说已经成了一种习惯。四年一次，似乎是理所当然的一种责任。看什么？ 五星红旗经过前台时的心灵的澎湃，热泪中的感动与自豪，和同饮一江水的骨肉亲情~~ 五星红旗是世界上最美的旗帜，围绕这这面旗帜拼搏的健儿也是最勇敢，最顽强，也是最质朴的灵魂~
我想，也是这些，成了令我们对奥林匹亚之歌念念无法割舍的根本原因。
Besides, one team that has impressed me the most was the team called "KOREA". No "38 degree boundary", no difference of "North" and "South", athletes from these two parts marched past through the sport field hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.
while i was watching that, i exclaimed in my heart, " when will be the day when ' The People's Republic of China ' and ' Chinese Taipei ' matching into the sport field together like that, under the nation of ' China ' ??? " ...blood and flesh... how can pple easily forget???
I'm tired.
