Welcome to Beijing.



Leehom's Olympic song: One World One Dream.



The lyrics of these songs are transpiring hopes of a better future for mankind. Yeaph... everything it's fine, everything it's perfect, but it is? Both lyrics and music are enchanting and inspiring as I said, but unfortunately we shouldn't forget about Tibet.

China people deserves to held the Olympics, not questions about it! What I'm questioning it's the communist party on power! Ultimately, they shouldn't benefit from this worldwide event, because they will transcend from the real meaning of the modern Olympic Games. These Olympics in all probability will be, the most contested Olympics in the modern Olympics' history, but in the other hand it will be the most magnificent Olympics ever held, if anythings goes smoothly as planned by the Beijing's regime. During the Olympics torch traveling around the world, the torch itself has met many protesters with their persisting voices of boycotting China's Olympics, but Beijing hasn't wavered an inch from reaching its final destination: to take the Olympics torch into the city of Lhasa (capital of Tibet), and in the very end Beijing made with this this symbolic gesture a proclamation to the entire world "Tibet is and will be part of China forever"

What sad conclusion for Tibetans ...their hopes have been crushed by the Olympic' spirit and by nationals' economic interests! All end here? No, I don't think so! Humanity has always rebounded (in a way or in an other) back from injustices, and Tibet with its people will too. Maybe, it will take time, a lots time, but eventually they will (see human's history). In the end, all kind of dictatorships have been defeated and Beijing's communist party won't be less...They will be crashed by humanity's history and judgment. Nothing is forever, no empire has lasted for good, and Beijing's despotical regime will met at last the same fate as the Soviet Empire, ostracized from history.

A bit of the Olympics' history from wikipedia.org:

The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894 on the initiative of a French nobleman, Pierre Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. The first of the IOC's Olympic Games were the 1896 Summer Olympics, held in Athens, Greece.


The 5 rings Olympic's logo was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, in 1913, and it represent the continents of the Americas (North and South), Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The rings are interlaced to show the coming together or meeting of the continents at the Olympics.

Let the games begin...Red.eVolution

P.S. On a personal note, I want once more to stress out: I have nothing personal with the Chinese people, I admire their culture and their history. China is a great nation with great people that has contributed to the human's history a lot. My quarrel is with those on charge of China's destiny which are hampering ideas and progress of a proud nation.

China isn't embarrassed at all for yesterday incident, when an activist of 'Reporter Without Frontiere' has disturbed the Olympia's ceremony. At the contrary China's representative from the ministry of the foreign countries, Qin Gang has asserted, that those who had sabotaged the ceremony should feel embarrassed for violating the Olympic spirit. The spokesperson has also added, that China is confident of a regular development of the torch's race that will get through 135 localities all over the world and 31 Chinese's provinces.



According to the tradition, in the ancient city of Olympia the sun's rays has once again ignited the Olympic flame. In the course of the official ceremony, in which have assisted the president of the organizing Committee of the Beijing's Games Ling Qi and the president of the Olympic Committee International Jacques Rogge, three activists pertaining to the group Reportèrs sans Frontières have succeeded to unfold, while Ling Qi was speaking, a flag on which were represented, in place of the Olympic circles, five handcuffs on black background. The protesters have been readily stopped from some representatives of the police enforcements, present on the place. The Chinese television has censured the images of the protest.

"the Olympic flame is sacred and the human rights are even more"

a representative of Reportèrs sans Frontières has explained,

"we cannot allow that the Chinese government to make use of this symbol of peace without denouncing the dramatic situation of the human rights in China and Tibet".

Also arrested, some Tibetans with Swiss, German and American passports for having tried to wave some banners and Tibetans flags along the streets of Olympia. The president of the CIO, Jacques Rogge, after asserting that "it is not the case" to speak about the boycotting of the Games, has also let he know that the Olympic Committee is cautiously operating with Beijing for a pacific solution of the Tibetan's problem.



Of a different tone, the position taken from the president of the European Parliament, Hans-Gert Poettering. In the course of an interview released to a German daily newspaper, Hans-Gert Poettering has declared to be favorable at the hypothesis of the Games' boycott. "Beijing must take a decision and open negotiations immediately", he has asserted. "In the contrary case the boycotting can be justified.

"We desire only the full success over the Games, but not at the cost of the Tibetans' cultural genocide ".

While Beijing, in spite the protests which are coming from all around the world, has not renounced to include Tibet and the Everest's mountain on the Olympic torch crossing them.
