I was 1 of 100,000 people who watched Olympic torch relay in Hong Kong today.
We arrived TST train station at 9:30am, luckily we did not have difficulty to walk to Nathan Road, the route where the third torch-bearer Andy Lau passed by. Although I couldn't see him in front of me as the place was extremely crowded, it was still nice to participate in such a memorable moment. Spectators greeted him ecstatically. The ambiance was filled with joyfulness.
After that we rushed back to train station and went to Shatin. We had spent two hours at Shing Mum River bank, before the flame appeared on the dragon boat. The 'runner' of this route was Sze Hang-yu, athlete (aquatics), she looked a bit shy, but totally delighted and honoured, was holding the torch tight and waving the cheering crowd along two sides.
At that moment, I just realized that Shatin was so beautiful, Hong Kong was so beautiful.
The mission of Olympic Game is "building a peaceful and better world", hope we can achieve this by embracing its core spirits of "friendship, solidarity and fair play".
Olympic Game, is belonged to everyone in this planet.
