BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Olympics stir mixed emotions in China
“Many Chinese people are trying to out-do each other with shows of Communist-style devotion to the games.
One man has spent three years recording the history of the Olympics onto a scroll 2008m (6,600ft) long.
But, sadly for him, he may be outdone by the acupuncturist who has promised to insert 2008 silver needles into his head to welcome the Olympics.”
That seems normal given my Olympic experience so far.
Olympics is personal for a lot of people. Not just in China, all over the world..
