At 13:50 Moscow time, the World Trade Center was packed, with representatives of five countries and hundreds of journalists from various countries in the world.

The regional atmosphere of the Chinese delegation was particularly tense, and there were still 10 minutes to go for the one-hour presentation of the Beijing deputies, and everyone in the delegation was cheering for a few presenters, while Chen Lin was tidying up the clothes for Yu Yu at the last time.

"Yu'er, remember to keep smiling on stage and pay attention to your eyes. Let's practice again after the last day. ”

"Yes."

Yu Yu nodded, and then a smile bloomed in an instant, a friendly smile. Quiet and confident eyes, beautiful facial features.

"It's perfect." Chen Lin couldn't help but admire: "Yu'er, your beauty, your spirit will definitely fascinate the members of the Olympic team and win the vote in their hands." I have a hunch that tonight's final victory will be ours. ”

Her husband's praise filled Yu Yu with confidence, and at this time Yu Yu and the other members were about to take the stage.

"Wife, I love you, you are the best, I will watch you from the audience and cheer for you."

"Xie Lu Xie husband, I am full of confidence in you."

"Mr. President. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Before I tell you about our cultural arrangement, I would like to tell you about it. You will have a great time in 2008. ”

Yu Yu's first sentence was "You will have a good time in Bei*Beijing", which narrowed the distance between him and Westerners, a very plain sentence but skillful.

Especially her standard English, beautiful face, confident and dignified temperament. It has a lot of oriental charm, and it won a warm applause as soon as he opened his mouth.

"China has its own sports tradition. Around the time of the Song Dynasty in the 11th century AD, people began to play a game called Keju. This game is considered to be the origin of ancient football. It was very popular at the time, and the women were in a group of their own and had a good time. By now, you should understand why our current women's soccer team is so good. ”

"There are so many exciting things to do in New Taipei *Beijing, a vibrant modern city where 3,000 years of history and culture are intertwined with the city's prosperity. In addition to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall, Beijing is home to countless theaters, museums and discotheques, as well as a wide variety of restaurants and shopping venues. All of this will surprise and delight you. In addition, there are thousands of friendly people in the capital of Bei*, who love to get along with people from all over the world. ”

"Inspired by the Silk Roads, our torch relay will break new ground, from Mount Olympia through the cradle of ancient human civilizations – Greece, Rome, Egypt, Byzantium, Mesopotania, Persia, Arabia, India and China. Under the theme of 'Sharing Peace, Sharing the Olympics', the eternal flame of the Olympic Games will reach new heights by crossing the Himalayas and reaching Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. In China, the Olympic flame will pass through Tibet, across the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, on the Great Wall, through Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and among the 56 ethnic groups that make up our country. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am confident that Beijing will prove to athletes, spectators, and television viewers around the world that this is a magical land. Come among us. Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie, thank you. ”

Yu Yu's speech won the loudest applause from the audience so far, and her speech was destined to become a classic speech, and this classic speech took the lead in opening a loud voice in the world of the Beijing Olympic Games, and swore the Olympic dream of the ancient nation.

Chen Lin under the stage stood up excitedly at this time, in order to maintain his image, he couldn't help but not cheer loudly for his wife. However, when Yu Yu and the other deputies returned to the audience after their presentations, he couldn't help it, kissed Yu Yu on the forehead, and said excitedly: "Wife, you are good, I am really proud and proud of you." ”

"Sister Yu, you are awesome, you speak so well." At this time, the rest of the delegation gathered around and applauded Yu Yu and several other presenters.

At 5:30 p.m., the members of the International Olympic Committee voted by secret ballot. The sound of cameras could only be heard in the spacious halls, and delegations from the five cities and thousands of journalists held their breath as they waited for the final results.

At 18 o'clock, it was 22 o'clock Beijing time, and the voting ended, and the president of the International Olympic Organizing Committee, Samaranch, walked up to the rostrum with an envelope.

The historic moment is coming. All the members of the Chinese delegation jumped up, and Chen Lin, Yu Yu, Liu Dehua, Chen Long, Zhang Yimou, Yang Lan and other members unconsciously stood up hand in hand.

At this moment, the hearts of the Chinese people in the whole world are tied together, and thousands of pairs of eyes are paying attention to the same thing.

At 22:08, Samaranch, president of the Olympic Organizing Committee, opened the envelope and announced the answer.

“TheGamesofthe29thOlympiadin2008areawardedtothecityofBeijing。”

(The host city of the 29th Olympic Games - Beijing)

Bei*Jing——

Bei*Jing——

When the news of the victory spread through the airwaves, through television, and through the Internet throughout the world, all the Chinese were boiling.

At the Chinese Embassy in Moscow, more than 3,000 overseas Chinese shouted in unison and cheered.

In New York's Times Square, it has been occupied by a Chinese five-star red period. A large number of unclear Chinese gathered here and waved red flags in their hands to cheer for Bei*Beijing.

In Singapore, France, Britain and other Chinese compatriots in the world, they are also jubilant at this moment, celebrating the victory of Beijing.

The good news came back to China. The whole country rejoices.

The No. 1 leader led the state leaders to the China Millennium Monument in Beijing to participate in the grand celebration, and the No. 1 leader delivered a speech; Later, he came to the Tiananmen Tower and enjoyed the joy with the crowd who were reveling in the square.

Night. Tens of millions of people in Beijing and across the country took to the streets and carnivaled all night; Compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese, also rejoiced and expressed their patriotic feelings to the fullest. The Chinese, who have always been reserved and reserved, laughed so much on this night. So proud.

On the night of July 13, more than one million people celebrated in Beijing.

The crowd celebrating from the east and west sides of Chang'an Avenue stretched for more than a dozen kilometers.

The number of people in Tiananmen Square exceeded 400,000 in an instant.

More than 150,000 Olympic bid flags and national flags were snapped up.

The bus was extended to 2:40 a.m. the next morning, with more than 2,000 additional trips.

The next day's celebration was bigger and more attended. The Chinese's expectations for the Olympics can be seen, and in the eight years since, the Chinese government has said that it is not an exaggeration to use the whole country to host the Olympics.

Foreigners are very strange for what Chinese, the Chinese government does not hesitate to mobilize the whole country, the whole people participate? Isn't it just an Olympics, isn't it just a sport?

In fact, the Olympic Games are not only a sports event for the Chinese people, but after a century of humiliation and oppression, the Chinese are eager to get back on their feet and rejuvenate the nation. From 1978 to 2001, the reform entered its 23rd year, and China underwent earth-shaking changes, with GDP exceeding $1 trillion for the first time in 2000.

At this time, Chinese are like a child who has finally achieved good results after studying hard, and he urgently needs to be praised and affirmed by his classmates, teachers, and parents. The Chinese nation also hopes to use the Olympic Games to show the achievements of reform and opening up and show the brilliant culture to the whole world.

Since China successfully hosted the Olympic Games in 2008, it is obvious that foreigners can feel that Chinese's mental outlook has undergone subtle changes, and they have become truly confident, rather than the hard-supported and less firm self-confidence they used to have.

At 22:08 on July 13, 2001, Beijing successfully bid for the Olympic Games, and it was a sleepless night. (To be continued......)
