ESWN translates Liberation Daily‘s article on the torch passing Paris. Liberation Daily is the official Party run newspaper in Shanghai. Check out the Youtube clips to see what happened on that day.
“At that moment, I was only thinking about protecting the Olympic flame!” Yesterday our reporter received a SMS message from Olympic torch bearer Jin Jing who is in Paris (France).
Jin Jing is a Shanghai girl and a member of the Chinese national wheelchair fencing team. Through the process of Olympic torch bearer selection, she became an overseas torch bearer. On the day before yesterday in Paris, Jin Jing was interfered with by Tibet independence protestors during the torch exchange. She did everything she could to protect the Olympic flame. Afterwards, the photos and stories about Jin Jing’s feat were circulated on the major Chinese portals as everyone was touched by the “girl who used her body to protect the Olympic flame.”…
Jin Jing said that she had conferred with the other torch bearers that they will maintain their smiles in public no matter what happens in order to show the spirit of the Chinese people to the whole world. Jin Jing and her companions were able to accomplish that. “I think that the eyes of the people are snow-bright clear. Everybody can see our dedication to the Olympics. Everybody can see that and nobody can take it away!” Jin Jing said, “At that moment, I felt that the entire motherland is supporting me, and our Olympics will be completed successfully!”
