Proud of Taiwan- Sun Yui Chi 宋玉麒


Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Taiwan's Taekwondo representative Sun Yui Chi(宋玉麒), he competed with a person from Turkey for bronze metal. Basically Taekwondo looks like boxing. There will be a competition in the middle, and then when the game starts, there will be a loud sound. Taekwondo is divided in different rounds, but one round has only for a few second, so the players will always try to find the right time and then kick, and it has to fast. first round no one gets any point, because they are kind of testing each other, to show their weak side, but it doesn't really work much. So on the second round, both of them start to kicking each other, then our team got 2 points, and the Turkey team got 1 point, we are 1 point ahead. On the third round, both of them take turns to kick others, and the Turkey team got earned 2 points, but we only earned 1 point. So now both teams are even. But Sun Yui Chi didn't just give up, at the moment of only few seconds left, he got 1 points and won the bronze medal for Taiwan. At the moment that every Taiwan people is cheering, Sun Yui Chi kneel down to his father(which is also his coach) to thanks for everything. That was a really touching moment. We are proud of Sun Yui Chi, and he is our hero.

Beijing Olympics-Is something fak? Is something unbeleivable?



I bet almost everyone saw the Opening Ceremony of the China Olympics, because it was really impressive and beautiful. We all can see that China spent a lot of time and effort on this, and they mobilize a lot people to do this performance. Also the fire works of the opening ceremony has many shapes that seem unbelievablea

But the day after the opening ceremony, many news company and audience are guessing China cheated. So they ask questions from different people, and they find out that some of the fire work performance is fake. China use a kind of special lightning or some kind of projection to show some cool fire works but its impossible to make.

And also another thing that people find out it's the young girl who's singing sweetly through Ode to the Motherland in the Bird’s Nest stadium in the opening ceremony, her name is Lin Miaoke. She got a cute and lovely face, but the song is not sang by her. lip-synched at the opening ceremony over the voice of Yang Peiyi, which is a girl also has a wonderful face, but why don't the China government give her the chance to stand on stage sing by herself and not someone using her voice to be famous? So many people are guessing that it's because Yang Peiyi two of her front teeth was missing(growing), so they don't let her to stand on stage and sing, because it is not perfect looking.

"``Hasn't China for a thousand years emphasized having a beautiful heart? This Olympic fake singing really makes China lose all face,'' one poster wrote. ``This is an insult to harmonious society!'' (taken the entire sentence from http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=axydL1aIUDWg&refer=asia, which is the last sentence.)
