So the Olympic torch finally launched the territory of China on it's first station Hong Kong. Heaps of people have flown to watch and cheer the torch relay at TST, the starting point or some other sporting sights.
Hong Kong residents are encouraged to ware red to show our support to the flame. I do ware in red, but I want show my support to the spirit of Olympic Games more than to the flame or torch relay itself.
I wonder how much the watchers know about that they meaning of watching the torch and the torchbearers actually lies in the symbolization.
Anyway, perhaps, all these things are just a show. Let us simply enjoy a free international big show.
yeah you are right, it's becoming more and more like a show rather than anything. i don't even know what these symbols represent anymore. it's all too complicated now. maybe the spirit of the olympics has taken up a different meaning with modernisation.
