Friends have come from afar, how happy we are. This is a well-known saying of Confucius.
2008 performers beat the Fous and sing to welcome friends from all over the world, and the marching of all athletes and teams, (wow...., Turkey, United States, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Israel, Italy, Egypt, Ethiopia, Cyprus, ...... even some unfamiliar names, like Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, wow........), in the Opening Ceremony Games held in the National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, in north Beijing, China Beijing Olympic Games.... Maybe we should play games much more, in order to get One World One Dream One World One Peace "One World One Dream" expresses the common wishes of people all over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for a bright future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colors, languages and races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we seek for the ideal of Mankind for peace "One World One Dream" is a profound manifestation of the core concepts of the Beijing Olympic Games. It reflects the values of harmony connoted in the concept of "People's Olympics", the core and soul of the three concepts -- "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics". While "Harmony of Man with Nature" and "Peace Enjoys Priority" are the philosophies and ideals of the Chinese people since ancient times in their pursuit of the harmony between Man and Nature and the harmony among people, building up a harmonious society and achieving harmonious development are the dream and aspirations of ours. It is our belief that peace and progress, harmonious development, living in amity, cooperation and mutual benefit, and enjoying a happy life are the common ideals of the people throughout the world. "One World, One Dream" is simple in expressions, but profound in meaning. It is of China, and also of the world. It conveys the lofty ideal of the people in Beijing as well as in China to share the global community and civilization and to create a bright future hand in hand with the people from the rest of the world. It expresses the firm belief of a great nation, with a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards modernization, that is committed to peaceful development, harmonious society and people's happiness. It voices the aspirations of people to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and bright world. In Chinese, the word "tongyi", which means "the same", is used for the English word "One". It highlights the theme of "the whole Mankind lives in the same world and seeks for the same dream and ideal". Proficiat Beijing !
