Family Circle

We are taking a day off and going to San Francisco today to celebrate and support the Olympic Torch Relay. We hope the process will be peaceful and goodwill as what the Spirit of Olympic means. But from recent noise in Europe and US, regrettably, we are very disturbed by the evil-minded few. We are proud of China and proud of being Chinese. We call for peace, justice and fairness. We will continue to progress toward a beautiful tomorrow even there is obstacle. United and we are strong!

Updates:

[4/10/2008] The route of torch relay was changed due to security concerns, as large crowds, both protesters, supporters and by-watchers, gathered along the planned route. So it was disappointing that most people did not see the torch and cheer for the moment.
The torch went through another route, crossing city center of San Francisco, and below the Golden Gate bridge, and safely reached the closing ceremony at SFO. So in a sense, it is good to see that it prevented those Tibetan (the few who are seeking to break away from China) from attacking the sacred Olympic torch.
We went back and forth between the ferry building (the planned closing ceremony site) and AT&T park (which is close to the opening ceremony site of McCovey cove). We confronted with some protesters, debated with them. It is a shame that those protesters would attack torchbearers and block the relay if they ever got the chance. Also it is shame that they uses “freedom,democracy” as a cover for their effort of seeking independence, and so to gain sympathy from American public who do not know much about the history, the region, and the reality of Tibet.
We respect human rights, and support the basic principle of peace, justice and freedom. We do not support that Olympic event, which is a sport event promoting goodwill and fairplay, being used by protesters as political event to attack China. Violence has no place in the play.
We wish the torch relay will go on smoothly in other remaining cities, and the Olympic games will be very successfully in Beijing.
Welcome all our friends to Beijing Olympic and have good time; welcome all our foes to Beijing Olympic to realize that goodwill is prevailing; and welcome all people to enjoy the event and experience the changes and improvements China are going through. Drop the prejudice and stereotype about China, and embrace the all new, modern, open and free China.
