Shortly after Mike, Xu Mei, and I sat down to watch the track and field events, a group of elementary Chinese schoolchildren occupied the empty seats over to our left. These kids were all pretty adorable; as the Chinese would say, they were 很可爱 (falling and rising tone “hen” and “ke” and a falling tone “ai”). I've got a photo of them above.
As we walked up to the lower level exit, I shot these pictures of older Chinese fans. As the photos indicate, China had just won another gold medal, this time in the long jump. Even a jaded old cynic like myself was genuinely moved by and glad to see the enthusiasm and happiness displayed by these ordinary Chinese people.
