The slogan for the Olympic 2008 in Beijing
The national anthem of the host country
Here are the lyrics of China’s national anthem, in case you want to sing along:
Qi3lái! Búyuàn zuò núlì de rénmen!
Ba3 wo3men de xuèròu zhùchéng wo3men x?n de chángchéng!
Zh?nghuá Mínzú dào liao3 zùi w?ixi?n de shíhòu,
M?igerén bèipò zhe f?ch? zùihòu de hou3sh?ng.
Qi3lái! Qi3lái! Qi3lái!
W?men wànzhòngy?x?n,
Mào zhe dírén de pàohuo3, Qiánjìn!
Mào zhe dírén de pàohuo3, Qiánjìn!
Qiánjìn! Qiánjìn! Jìn!
And here is the official English translation:
Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation faces its greatest danger.
From each one the urgent call for action comes forth.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Millions with but one heart,
Braving the enemy’s fire.
March on!
Braving the enemy’s fire.
March on! March on! March on!
