Theme song for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games - We Are Ready

It's Year 2008 already! I have no choice but to confess that time flies before I know it... Wow, this reminds me of the Olympic Games that will be held at Beijing, China on August 8, 2008. Notice that the scheduled date is on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m. Number "8" is emphasized because the word for "eight" in Chinese (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth". In regional dialects the words for "eight" & "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" & "faat".

Anyhow, I would like to share the theme song for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, entitled "We Are Ready". While listening to this song, I can feel the invincible pressure China is putting on the rest of the country in the world. They are emerging at such an expeditious pace that many countries find it difficult to catch up. You will be impressed by the song, provided you understand Chinese/ Mandarin Language. Happy listening!
