3rd post of the day, i think this is a record.

I'm sure everyone knows that it's been 4 years since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and this year it's hosted in London. And they have a tradition of the Olympic flame.

Several months before the olympics, 11 women from Olympia, Greece that lights up the torch using a light and this mirror. The flame is relayed on and on until it reaches the stadium of the hosted place. The last torch bearer is usually a famous athlete or former athlete, and he/she is usually unannounced until the last minute. When the flame in the stadium is lit, the olympic games begins, and it's extinguished on the last day of the ceremony.


So yeah, Leehom Wang, a Taiwanese-American star is a torchbearer for this year's olympics, and he was also a torchbearer for Beijing's Olympics. He is this year's one and ONLY Asian star to take part in this relay.

He carried the torch through Manchester, UK on June 23, 2012.

Many news articles said that he was chosen because of his dedication to charity work and environmental protection.

I'm so proud of him(:  And I bet every chinese out there is too (especially the taiwanese ones).
Here's an article on a bit more info: http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Showbiz/Story/A1Story20120329-336457.html
