The Olympic flame symbolizes light, unity, friendship, peace and justice. The Olympic flame originated from ancient Greek myths and legends: Prometheus, the ancient Greek god, stole the flame from Zeus in order to save the hungry and cold mankind, but once it reached the world, it could never be taken back. Therefore, Zeus had to stipulate that he must be sacrificed before lighting the flame.

2008 is an exciting moment for all China people, because we have ushered in the Beijing Olympic Games. On July 2 1 2008, a day that made all Qingdao people proud, the torch Xiangyun was passed to the coastal city of Qingdao.

At 8 o'clock this morning, the torch departed from Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center and arrived at Qingdao Port in 4.5 hours. Each torchbearer in Qingdao will carry 56 meters, and the torch relay route is 27.6 kilometers long. It is reported that the torch relay route includes two parts: the city relay and the Huangdao relay. The city relay is mainly along the coast, which fully embodies the marine characteristics, sailing characteristics, brand economy and coastal scenery. Huangdao relay takes Qingdao port as the carrier, showing the characteristics of the times of contemporary industrial workers and the port economic characteristics of our city.

This morning, I waited in front of the TV to watch the Olympic torch relay. When the torch was passed from the first baton of Zhang Xiaodong to the last baton of Mayor Xia Geng, Qingdao citizens and students waved national flags and cheered for our Olympic Games. Everyone is shouting: "Come on, Beijing! Come on for the Olympics! " During the 4.5-hour relay, no one disturbed the order, which made the torch relay have no influence. It shows that each of us has a good quality and watches the torch relay in a civilized way.

When I saw every successful person carrying the torch, I was radiant and proud. I'm thinking, if only I were one of them, I'd like to refuel, study hard, miss these successful people and cheer for my motherland with my strength!
