Scene 1: The audience is enthusiastic.
During the night relay of the Olympic flame in Muscat, a group of overseas Chinese and Indians living there raised a long banner to pay tribute to the flame, which read the slogan of Beijing Olympic Games-"One World, One Dream". Their own actions are the best interpretation of this concept.
Wherever the flame went, it was warmly welcomed by the local people. In Almaty, 300,000 people spontaneously took to the streets to welcome the flame, and the whole city was in an unprecedented festive atmosphere. In St. Petersburg, 700 thousand residents poured into the streets, and the burning flame made them forget the cold spring; Thousands of people followed the torch in Buenos Aires. In Muscat, a group of children, in order to witness the first visit of the Olympic flame to the bay, walked 6 kilometers with friends and rushed to the relay route in the mountains, waiting for the arrival of the flame.
Seeing these enthusiastic audiences, Zhang Ming, executive director of the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay Operation Team, repeatedly said with emotion: "The flame has made us feel her powerful charm, cohesion and appeal."
Lens 2: Disabled torchbearers defend the dignity of the torch with their own bodies.
When the Olympic flame was passed in Paris, a group of "Tibet independence" elements fought with Jin Jing, a disabled torchbearer in a wheelchair, trying to snatch the torch from her. Jin Jing braved hardships and dangers to protect the torch and defend its dignity with her disabled body. According to foreign reports, Jin Jing embodies the strong and unyielding spirit of the Chinese nation. People also remember the ugly faces of "Tibet independence" elements, which is a sign of barbarism and shameless.
Scene 3: the flame guard protects the flame with flesh and blood.
In London and Paris, the Olympic flame was shamelessly harassed by lawless elements such as "Tibet independence". Tomatoes, rotten eggs and mineral water bottles were mixed with swearing words and smashed at the flame guards. The boys didn't fight back, didn't scold, responded to each other's brutality and meanness with civilization and restraint, and guarded the flame all the way without any blasphemy. Zhang Ming, who was sitting in the command car, witnessed all this and was so sad that he could hardly restrain himself. Afterwards, she said that as a mother, she felt that her child was abused and her heart was bleeding.
Lens 4: Chinese overseas Chinese are deeply patriotic.
The flame was given a cold reception in London and Paris, which angered Chinese Americans and overseas Chinese. They spontaneously rushed to San Francisco and formed a100000-person flame guard. The starting scene of the San Francisco torch relay was covered with patriotic flags, and Chinese overseas Chinese played various slogans to express their love for the motherland and support for the Beijing Olympic Games. The young man Zou Zhou flew from North Carolina for seven hours. He said he would run all the way to accompany the flame. Because the "Tibet independence" elements were extremely vicious and began violent sabotage activities, the torch relay was temporarily changed, which made most Chinese overseas Chinese's desire to witness the torch relay fail, leaving a lot of regrets.
Lens 5: The Iron Lady works hard.
The torchbearer operation group led by Gu Min is a small "female soldier" composed of three people, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of picking up and dropping off torchbearers. Their arms and hands were scarred, some were burned by the torch fuel tank, and some were injured by the torch. They are also responsible for overcoming all kinds of language barriers, communicating with torchbearers, planning the scene before operation and stepping on the spot. Every running day, they can only sleep for more than an hour. Because of the heavy work tasks, even in hotels, they rarely have time to rest. Gu Min said that every time they board the plane, it is the most relaxing moment for them, because it means that the work is temporarily over. Although the three "iron ladies" are seriously short of rest, they are full of energy and high morale, and there are no mistakes in their work.
Scene 6: The spokesman Dagong forgets himself.
Qu Yingpu, spokesman of the Olympic Torch Operation Team, is a master of Harvard University. In the communication with Chinese and foreign media, especially western media, he gave full play to excellent Chinese and English skills, promoted the communication between the operation team and the news media, and eliminated all kinds of misunderstandings. His work diary was also reprinted by some western newspapers. When the Olympic torch relay was destroyed by protesters such as "Tibet independence" in London and Paris, he became the busiest person, and his mobile phone kept ringing. Qu Yingpu was so busy with the media that he forgot to use his personal mobile phone. Every call was an international long-distance roaming. After a few days, the phone bill has exceeded 10 thousand, and all of it will be deducted from his personal account.
Qu Yingpu leads a professional team that serves the media. Another news spokesman, Ping Li, Peng Jie, Lu Chuan, Sean and other news officials also did their duty and created the best conditions for media interviews. Peng Jie dragged his thin body to take care of all the media, and every time he was busy, he looked tired; Once, after boarding a charter flight, she vomited because of overwork.
Scene 7: Running six kilometers with heavy load
China Daily reporter Hu Yinan decided to follow the Olympic torch relay in Dar es Salaam because he could not take the media bus. Carrying an interview bag with two laptops and other materials, I was very busy taking photos with the torch all the way. In this way, he has been running 6000 meters. The young man was a 10,000-meter and marathon runner at school. Running 6000 meters was never a problem, but this time he felt a little tired. At the end of the last celebration, he leaned back in his chair, struggled with fatigue, arranged photos and wrote manuscripts.
Lens 8: Logistics service "feel at home"
From checked baggage to passport management, as well as the torch team's food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are countless details of logistics services, which must be carried out by the logistics team. Lu Shimin, the leader of the team, is a 63-year-old man with hale and hearty spirits. His famous saying is that "everyone in the team must be taken care of". For this reason, old comrades only sleep for three hours every day. Every time I go to the logistics department, I can always see his busy figure. He has the typical selfless enthusiasm of the older generation for his work.
The logistics office opens when the main force arrives and closes after the main force leaves. Under the leadership of Lu Shimin, the office work is efficient and orderly, creating a home atmosphere for the creative team. Dong and Wang Ting took care of everyone's checked baggage. Almost every day, punk is busy with customs clearance for the team, counting more than 0/00 green official passports of the whole group, claiming to "point green" his face. The "God of Wealth" from China Bank often works from midnight to dawn in the logistics office after handling complicated financial accounts every day.
Lens 9: The Second Warm Home
Except from Beijing to Almaty, several other inter-city transitions of the torch team were carried out at night, and several times were long-distance flights. For example, three consecutive flights from Paris to San Francisco, from San Francisco to Buenos Aires and from Buenos Aires to Dar es Salaam all took 65,438+00 hours. Everyone spends more time on the plane than sleeping in a hotel bed. Therefore, the "Olympic Flame" charter flight has become everyone's second home. The thoughtful service provided by the stewardess makes everyone feel at home.
The China Embassy in the country where the relay city is located is another home for the torch team. The Turkish Embassy provided two bags of dried fruits for each person, and the Argentine Embassy hosted the team members to enjoy a chinese dinner table, so that each team member could feel the warmth of their loved ones in a foreign country. When the chartered plane stopped in Luanda, the Ambassador of China to Angola specially greeted the plane, which made everyone feel more cordial.
Lens 10: Don't be afraid to work in times of crisis.
Before the San Francisco Olympic torch relay, a story happened that most people didn't know. At that time, under the leadership of Lei Tao, five staff members of the torch team took a bus from the departure place to the celebration ceremony. As soon as their car left the starting point, it was blocked by a large group of "Tibet independence" elements, and the window was broken by these irrational thugs. An American policeman sitting in the car immediately called more than 20 colleagues through the walkie-talkie, and they joined hands to form a channel and rescued five staff members. Because there was still work to be done at the ceremony, Lei Tao and others insisted on getting there, and the American police resolutely refused to let them go because there were many dangers on the road. Lei Tao and others returned to the departure scene under the protection of the American police after receiving the order from the command vehicle.
Afterwards, the reporter asked Lei Tao if he was afraid at that time. He said that at that time, his mind was full of work to be done and he didn't think about anything else.
