Ignite passion and convey dreams. The 2008 China Olympic Games is a grand gathering of the people of China and the world.

The Olympic flame is a symbol of light, solidarity, friendship, peace and justice. It is the privilege of my life to attend the torch relay personally.

Although it was clear that he would take part in the torch relay in February this year, Zhang Chao Ming has been in a state of mind at the thought of this.

The Olympic torch bearer's confirmation letter, which was issued by the Olympic Organizing Committee, has no creases. It is still new. Zhang keeps it in the briefcase of the office safe.

In order to run a good 200 meter short stick, Zhang Guiming also worked hard in silence.

He used to walk in the morning, but now he changed to jogging, "running every day, and feeling more when he passes the relay."

Zhang Guiming, from Linchuan, Jiangxi, has always been frugal. He spent tens of dollars on sports shoes he bought. He spent nearly 600 yuan on a huge amount of money to buy a pair of famous brand sneakers.

The wife who has always been thrifty has been very supportive of his extravagance: "I support it for the Olympics."
