On March 24th, 2008 17: 43, the eyes of the whole world stopped at the concave mirror in front of the Temple of Hera, the site of ancient Olympia. 84 seconds later, the sun lit the torch in the hands of the priestess Maria Nafpliotto. From this moment on, the flame of the 29th Olympic Games officially began to burn.
Who is the most dazzling star in the collection of the Beijing Olympic flame? Not sports stars like Deng Yaping and Luo Xuejuan, nor performing stars like Zhang Ziyi and Wang Leehom. Almost all the media are attracted by a special old man. He is the son of Liu Hongliang, the first torchbearer in China Olympic Games.
Academician Liu Hongliang, 76, is a torchbearer selected by Coca-Cola Company and the first batch of China torchbearers to appear in Greece. In the torch relay on March 24th, Academician Liu Hongliang took over the 16 baton. With his father Liu Changchun's dream, he "walked" the 200-meter torch relay and lit the torch in the hands of the next torchbearer, Wang Leehom. "1932, my father participated in the Olympic Games alone, so lonely. Seventy-six years of changes have confirmed the prosperity of the Chinese nation. The Olympic flame also conveyed the dreams of my father and my two generations, and I will pass on the Olympic spirit to my future generations. " Liu Hongliang said excitedly after the torch relay in Olympia.
In Liu Hongliang's memory, his father Liu Changchun didn't mention much about his participation in the Olympic Games. There is only one suitcase with Olympic labels from all over the world, which records my father's extraordinary past.
A great man has a famous saying that "a single spark can start a prairie fire", which is more suitable for the torch relay of the Beijing Olympic Games. The Xiangyun Torch, which is full of China elements, interprets not only the dialogue between paper and fire, but also the Olympic spirit and the dream of the Oriental Dragon flying into the sky.
What is a flame? According to records, the lighting ceremony of the ancient Olympic Games originated from the myth that Prometheus stole fire. The torch symbolizes peace, light, unity and friendship. However, for the 2008 Olympic Games, the flame has a more special significance-it illuminates every corner of the world and excites China people at home and abroad.
Especially since the flame collection ceremony on March 24th, we have heard many touching words from our compatriots. Luo Xuejuan, an athlete who won the first prize in China, said: "Everywhere the Olympic torch goes, everyone is smiling. Although people can't communicate with each other in words and there are obstacles, everyone will overcome the difficulties and pass on the Olympic spirit. " Deng Yaping, a table tennis grand slam winner, said: "Athletes are the main body of the Olympic Games, and the torch relay has made the public participate in the Olympic Games. This time I am the torchbearer of the Beijing Olympic Games, which has different meanings, so I am even more proud. " The confession of Liu Hongliang, the first person in China Olympic Games and the son of Liu Changchun, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, is even more touching: "Although I am 76 years old, my passion has been ignited. I passed on the dream of my father and me for two generations. " From Liu Changchun, a Shenyang long-distance runner, to the 10 Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1932, and now his son, Academician Liu Hongliang, holds the torch to welcome the Olympic Games from Olympia. Between "one person's Olympics" and "1300 million people's Olympics", it is a long river of 76 years, and it is also the vicissitudes of a country and a nation. Looking back at the broken mountains and rivers of Liu Changchun's time, and looking at today's bustling scene, how can we not feel happy? In addition to sports, it is a solid support for national strength and people's strength. The two generations of Liu and his son are almost worlds apart, which is the true epitome of a nation's bumpy course.
Let's cherish this scene with memory, and an echo will wander in the historical sky for a long time. After fulfilling his long-cherished wish, Liu Hongliang made an emotional confession to his father: "My father represented 450 million people in China to participate in the Olympic Games. Today, my son came here on your behalf to help you realize your dream and your long-cherished wish. You can rest assured. " The torch relay is still going on, and this dream is also being transmitted and extended, starting a prairie fire on our planet.
