college students in Beijing debuted Monday night to promote the Olympic Games to
be held next August in this capital city.
The songs, dances, recitations and martial art performances showcased the

and prepare for the Games in the past decade.
"The performances are also a display of the patriotic passion and healthy and
upward spirits of Chinese students," said Li Changchun, member of the Standing

Bureau, after watching the show Monday night.
Such performances should be staged for Chinese athletes who are going to compete
in the Olympic Games in Beijing next year, and at universities in the capital
city, and in major cities around the country as well, he said.
