Six years to remember in rebirth of a nation

In the limelight of the entire world, the curtain of the 29th Summer Olympics fell in Beijing on Sunday evening. Every Chinese would be proud seeing the motherland's great success in hosting such a large sports gathering.

Different from our own festivals that only Chinese people enjoy themselves, this was an unrestrained revelry of billions of people from different nationalities. The holding of the Games has not only realized a long-honored dream of the Chinese people, but has also brought us chances to make friends and share the joy with others.

Immersed in the sense of great success and excitement left by the Beijing Olympics, we should not forget six specific years the Chinese nation experienced in the history of the Olympics. The six years served as the best eyewitness to the vicissitude of the Chinese nation and its connection with the modern Olympics.
