Seeking heroes: The True Spirit of Olympic
Saturday, April 19th, 2008If you are like me, seeking heroes (of humanity) in life , you must see the video below.
A few days ago I was seeking for a powerful photo I saw at BBC on Paris Torch Relay. I finally found it again in BBC (no thank to BBC, they hid this photo under piles of pages). It was the photo of a girl sitting on a wheelchair protecting the Olympic Torch in her arms from protestors. I was surprised later to find that they were so many videos on the attack uploaded to youtube.com.
This is one of the best parts:
Sitting on the wheelchair, she held the Torch high and tight with both hands. It was near the end of her Torch Relay journey after many attacks fenced away by French’s police force, her fellow sportmen and sportwomen. Under the Paris tunnel lights, she suddenly held her fist down and yelled “Yeah!”. And quickly held the torch again with both of her hands high and tight. At this moment, I realised my eyes were filled with tears.
Yes, she participated and fought well…the true spirit of Olympic. Her name is Jin Jing, from Shanghai, China.
This is her youtube’s video, talking about herself and her project on collecting smiling faces photographs for Olympic posters.
Jin Jing Interviewed by CCTV.
“If your heart has sunshine, in your eyes are all the warmth you’ll see. This is the power of smiles. — Jin Jing”
