Peking University, Beijing, Mar. 20, 2009: During the National People‘s Congress
(NPC) and the National Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative
Conference (CPPCC) Annual Sessions 2009, the Olympic Photography Exhibition of
―Dreams of Bird‘s Nest‖ has been displayed at Peking University (PKU) which has
received broad welcome and praise from not only teachers and students but also
NPC deputies. This exhibition has been sponsored by the Communist Youth League
PKU Committee.
The sixty photos by Mr. Song Guoming, a journalist from China Central Television
(CCTV), were all taken of the ―heroes behind the scenes‖ in the Olympics – the
journalists. Because of the novel theme of this exhibition, it has attracted a large
number of PKU students, foreign students, photography enthusiasts, and former
Olympic volunteers as soon as it appeared in the Triangle. It is known that this is the
first time in the history of the Olympic photography exhibitions to use journalists as
protagonists on such a large scale.
After seeing the exhibition, Mr. Ma Xianfu, a deputy of NPC, said: ―I am very pleased
to visit PKU and see the ‗Dreams of Bird‘s Nest‘ Photography Exhibition during the
NPC, CPPCC Annual Sessions 2009. In Premier Wen Jiabao‘ s government work
report, he mentioned our urgent need to develop in culture and sports, and to
promote the prosperity of our culture. Although the Olympic Games have
successfully ended, how to inherit and carry forward the Olympic culture and spirit
has become an issue for the NPC deputies. So it is meaningful to hold this exhibition
at PKU. I hope to see more activities like this exhibition to carry forward the Olympic
culture and spirit as treasures of this decade.‖
The person from the Communist Youth League PKU Committee who is in charge of
the photography exhibition told the reporter that PKU has paid great attention to the
promotion of the Olympic culture and spirit after the Olympic Games. This exhibition
has re-presented the grand scenes in the 2008 Olympic Games through its unique
