On July 13, 2001, China successfully bid for the Olympic Games in Moscow and was finally able to host the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. On that joyful night, I tossed and turned. I was a little excited at first, and my tears flowed down along with the slogan "We win" on the TV. Then I cooled down, but the deafening sound of firecrackers kept me awake all night. , so many things about Beijing’s Olympic bid came to my mind.

Beijing participated in the Olympic bid in 1993. At that time, the publicity intensity was unprecedented. Not to mention the flag-waving and shouting on radio and television, the slogans and advertisements for the Olympic bid were all over Beijing and even the country. What "reformed China looks forward to the Olympics". "The people of Beijing welcome you" and so on are everywhere. Even in order to show China's civilization, civilized terms were written in many places: Hello, thank you, sorry... all kindergarten children know how to say it, calling on people across the country to learn and say it. No wonder some foreign friends were confused about this at that time.

This Olympic bid is still very popular. Some people hike the mountains and rivers of the motherland and reporters follow them for interviews. This is called the Olympic bid trip. Someone drove across China, and the TV station followed up and reported it as a long journey to bid for the Olympic Games. Someone rode a motorcycle backwards across the Great Wall, also known as offering their support for the Olympic bid. In fact, these are activities that challenge the limits, and it would be far-fetched to link them with the Olympic bid. Of course, the largest event is the signature event for the Olympic bid, with tens of thousands of meters of cloth and tens of millions of people signing. I think it has three meanings. First, it shows that there are so many people in China that there are endless signatures. Second, it shows that there are many cloths in China, and there are cloths with endless signatures. Third, it shows that Chinese cloth has many functions. It can be used as clothes and can also be used to write signatures.

Biding schedule: On February 1, 2000, the national Olympic committees notified the name of the bidding city. On February 24, the International Olympic Committee and the national Olympic committees interested in bidding held a briefing meeting. The International Olympic Committee announced the bidding process.

From March to August, the International Olympic Committee analyzes the situation of each bidding city. In September, the Sydney International Olympic Committee Executive Committee determines the official candidate city

In mid-September, each bidding city prepares to bid. Report: In mid-January 2001, each bidding city submitted its bid report. From mid-January to mid-February, the IOC analyzed the bid report and prepared relevant documents for the IOC Evaluation Committee. From mid-February to mid-April, the International Olympic Committee Evaluation Committee inspects the bid city. In mid-May, the evaluation committee prepares an inspection report. In mid-July, the Moscow International Olympic Committee plenary session selects the Olympic Games hosting city with four major advantages: First, Beijing’s bid has received the support of the Chinese government. Full support and broad approval from all walks of life. Secondly, the domestic political stability, economic development, and social stability have provided a very favorable environment for our bid. Third, our people have always been fond of sports activities. Our athletes have performed very well in many world sports competitions, which fully demonstrates the strength of our country’s competitive sports and the broad foundation of sports among the people. Fourth, Beijing is a world-famous historical and cultural city. It is also a modern city with nearly 100 institutions of higher learning and advanced education. It has great development potential. Beijing’s urban security guarantees the ability to host large-scale sports events. Jia Qinglin emphasized that now the bidding work has entered the real practical stage, and we must go all out to invest in the "qualification competition" and formulate plans, organize forces, and arrange work with the goal of being selected as a "candidate city" with high quality.
