Xu Wen-Ting Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 The theme of the relay is "Journey of Harmony". The theme embodies the Olympic ideal of 'placing sport at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity'. 'Harmony' boasts strong Chinese characteristics, and expresses the traditional Chinese philosophy in pursuit of a balance between man and nature, among people and between man's body and soul. It also supports Chinese people's wish of building a harmonious society of enduring peace and common prosperity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAP: http://images.beijing-2008.org/20070426/Img214042228.jpg One thing I can sure is that: ALL provinces, autonomous regions and SARs in China require the flame to visit them. So at the end the flame has to visit ALL of them (otherwise it may become a political crisis as some may feel be treated unfairly.........). So the flames must stay in China with a longer time, and as a result it can't visit many places outside China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
