i just saw a video on youtube, the title is BEIJING WELCOME US --full version. well, that is the theme song of the Olympic games i think, the lyrics are really good if you can understand Chinese. you know what , that's the thing, that's what i wanna talk about. the whole song is meaningful. it shows our courtesy, welcomeness. also shows our cultural stuff. however, it's impossible for people who don't know Chinese to understand that. so i'm wondering if we should present one or two english version theme songs, like the World Cup. yeah, right, probably many Chinese people in China mainland would say it is not necessary to do, and the Olympic Games is held in China, so Chinese songs could present our spirit. well, i think if we insist to only have a song which people from other countries couldn't understand, then why do we use it? it's a internatinal event, right? not just like some national jocks competition. remember? the recent two world cups, no matter in France or Japan and Korea, they used english songs. let's face it, english is the most widely spoken language, right, if we wanna people from other countries understand us, be motivated, get engaged into the games, we should have something to help them. right?
Anyhow, it's still a damn good song though.
oh, by the way, how can i add a video from youtube on my post?
