Cao, a 103-year old Beijing native came up with the idea in 2004 when she had a photo taken of her with a Chinese torchbearer for the Athens Games. She waited three hours in her wheelchair on the roadside to watch the relay in Beijing. To get physically fit, Cao started exercising in 2004, walking about 300 meters twice a day with a stick.

2007-08-31 15:10:00
Not a lot of people ever thought about this but there is a very neat significance why the Chinese chose August 8, 2008 to start next year's Beijing 2008 Olympic games. The number 8 appears three times in the date 8-8-2008, is considered very lucky in Chinese culture & traditions. In China, some people have to pay some certain dough in order to have the number 8 in their phone numbers, addresses, car plates & so on. The number 8 is significant in China because it's pronunciation in Cantonese is very similar to "make money".The number 8 written in ChineseThe Chinese, probably more than anybody else, are betting on hauling the most gold medals next year especially since they will be the host country. Funny as it seems, even with our high-tech society, one of the world's economic & military super powers still rely on superstitions to bring them luck.Here are some good reads about the Chinese & the number 8:The Number Eight And The ChineseIn Chinese communities around the world, ...
