Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China
This morning I caught a flight back to Hong Kong and attended the Initiation Event for the Hong Kong Youth Consortium Series of Activities, Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), which was also a Cultural Carnival of Ethnic Groups.
The event was held at Victoria Park, Hong Kong, and over 430 ethnic minority youths from various regions all over China participated in this event. Although the mood during the initiating ceremony was very solemn and serious, it was still a lively and joyous event. After reviewing the historical video “The Founding Ceremony of China” followed by a large scale song and dance show called “Gu Wu Shen Zhou” performed by seven provincial regions, Liu Yuanyuan and I led a group of over 30,000 youths from Hong Kong’s main youth group organizations, universities, and youth representatives from eighteen different areas, and together we sang the theme song of the event, "Country," with high spirits. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing; everybody sang with enthusiasm and heart. Every participant at the ceremony was deeply immersed in this magnificent, inspiring, and heart-moving melody that expressed our feelings of love for our country! After singing the song, Liu Yuanyuan and I were appointed on site as the Publicity Ambassadors for the Hong Kong Youth Consortium Series of Activities Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the PRC.
The song "Country" was specially created as a gift to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of China. Ever since the song was released, it has reached the top of many well known music charts throughout China and at the same time, it’s been repeatedly selected as the theme song for various large events and evening celebrations. This song is well received and loved by many listeners. It has been said that there is a high possibility the song "Country" might be used as the main theme song during the October 1st grand ceremony event at Tiananmen Square. When the time comes, the song will once again be played in Tiananmen Square where tens of thousands of people will sing the words “I love my country.”
After taking some photos with the youths from different ethnic cultures, I immediately rushed to the airport and caught a flight from Hong Kong to Sanya, Hainan Island.
I spend a lot of time at airports.
As soon as I got off the plane, I quickly went to the venue for rehearsals. After I finished rehearsing, I returned to the hotel and then went straight to sleep because I was just so tired.
Commemorating the First Anniversary of the Olympic Torch Relay
It’s hard to believe how fast time flies by without you even realizing it. One year has already passed since the Olympic torch relay took place here in Sanya. This morning I attended the one year anniversary event commemorating the Olympic torch relay and there were many ceremonial activities during the celebration. After it all finished, I went back to the hotel again.
When I arrived back at the hotel, some of my crew members asked me to go swimming but I didn’t go. I just stayed in my room, read the newspaper and then fell asleep. I don’t know how long I’d been sleeping for; I was suddenly awakened by the sounds of splashing water. I then looked at the clock and realized that I’d been sleeping for two hours. My crew members had been playing in the pool for two hours as well. I saw that they were having such a wonderful time so I didn’t go and disturb them. I just quietly did my homework and tried to memorize the lyrics to the songs that I’ll be performing tonight.
In the evening, I sang the song "Country" again. I think I’m going to be flying all over the place singing the song this year.
Today we commemorated the first anniversary of the Olympic torch relay. I think that in the future, I’ll be coming to Sanya every year to celebrate the anniversary of the Olympic torch relay because this special day is going to become a grand annual event for Sanya. Actually, not only was I a performer for this anniversary event tonight, I was also the executive producer, and I’ve already planned out the activities and performances for the anniversary event in the next three years.
I was very happy to see the beautiful surroundings during my trip in Sanya. On the way to the venue, I noticed how everything in the scenery; the flowers, trees, roads, streets, and many other things were so pretty. The entire city gave me a kind of green feeling, as if I had entered a garden city. I think that because of the pleasant weather and climate in Sanya, it’s actually an ideal place for tropical trees and plants to grow, earning Sanya a good reputation for being the “Eastern Hawaii.” I believe that Sanya has excellent potential for development because I think that a lot of well known tourist destinations are already oversaturated. Sanya is just starting to take off so there should be some room for development as well as attracting even more tourists to come here. When I met with the local mayor, I suggested some ideas to him as well. Take a look at this – the trees planted along both sides of the road in Sanya are so green and beautiful.
This is the hotel where I stayed; it’s a villa style hotel. In the future if I want to come and stay at this hotel, I can stay in here for free. This is the view of outside my room. I took a panoramic photo of the view outside my room to share with you:
I attended the event in the evening and I saw a piece of artwork called Fire Phoenix created by Han Meilin, a master of fine arts who is classed as a national treasure by many people in Hong Kong. Mr. Han was awarded the highest honor with the 2006 Asia’s Outstanding Designer Award for his Beijing Olympics Fuwa mascot creations. His artwork is displayed inside the National museum. Look at this Fire Phoenix; isn’t it beautiful?
There were fireworks during the evening event and I sang the song "Country" again. My New Seven Little Fortunes also accompanied me on stage and performed.
After completing the activities in Sanya, I caught a flight back to Beijing and had a meeting with director Stanley Tong and discussed a script for a movie.

May 3 - 5 （星期日至二）
庆祝建国60周年活动：
今天早上乘早机到香港，出席“香港各界青少年庆祝建国60周年系列活动启动礼”暨“民族文化嘉年华”。
这一次活动在香港维多利亚公园举行，来自国内的430多位少数民族青少年参与。整个启动仪式庄重中不失活泼喜庆，当进行完《开国大典》历史影像回顾及七省区带来的大型歌舞《鼓舞神州》后，我与刘媛媛带领香港主要青少年团体、大学、十八区青少年代表等三万余人同时唱响了活动主题歌《国家》，整个会场群情振奋，歌声激昂，每一位参与者都沉浸在这气势恢宏、鼓舞人心的乐曲中，共抒爱国情怀！一曲歌毕，我和刘媛媛还被现场任命为“香港各界青少年庆祝建国六十周年系列活动宣传大使”。
《国家》这首歌是为新中国成立60周年特意制作的献礼歌曲，自推出起来，不仅名列国内各大音乐排行榜的榜首，同时频频成为各大庆典晚会的首选曲目，深受听众喜爱。据了解，《国家》还将很可能成为十月一日天安门大型庆典活动的主打曲目。届时，天安门广场将再次响起万人大合唱“我爱我国家”。
我跟不同民族的青少年拍照后，马上匆匆赶去机场，从香港坐飞机飞去海南岛的三亚。
我一下飞机就赶去现场彩排，彩排完毕就回酒店睡觉，因为我实在太累了。
纪念火炬一周年：
想不到时间就在你不知不觉间飞逝，在三亚为奥运传火炬，原来已经是一年前的事情了。今天早上出席纪念火炬一周年的活动，现场举行了很多仪式，完成后，我又回酒店了。
回到酒店，工作人员叫我去游泳，我没有去，只留在房间看报纸，不经不觉就睡着了。我不知睡了多觉，忽然间被一些水声吵醒了我，看看时钟，原来我睡了两个小时，工作人员就在游泳池玩了两个小时。我看到他们玩得很开心，我没有打扰他们，只是自己静静的做功课，为今晚的表现活动背歌词。
晚上，我又是唱《国家》，我想今年我会到处飞到处唱《国家》这首歌。
今天是纪念火炬传送一周年，我想以后我都会来到三亚庆祝每一年的火炬纪念，因为这将会成为三亚每年一度的盛事。其实，我这一次不单是纪念活动的表演者，更是活动的监制，我已经计划了三年的表演活动。
这一次来到三亚，很开心看到四周环境很漂亮，沿途看到所有的景物、花草树木、街道等等都非常美，整个城市给我一种绿色的感觉，就像进入了一个城市花园。我想因为三亚的天气很好，很适合一些热带花草树木生长，令三亚得到‘东方夏威夷’的美誉。相信三亚有很好的发展潜力，我觉得有很多旅游胜地已经饱和了，三亚刚刚起步，应该有发展空间和吸引更多的旅客。我跟市长见面的时候，都向他提出一些配套的意见。
你们看看，三亚的道路两旁所种植的树木，很绿很美；这里就是我下塌的酒店了，是别墅式的酒店，以后我都可以免费入住这间酒店，这是我房间外面的景色，我拍了一个房外的全景照给大家看看：
晚上，我出席活动，看到被香港人称为国宝级艺术大师的韩美林的作品：火凤凰。韩先生因北京奥运吉祥物‘福娃’的创作而荣登2006大中华杰出设计最高荣誉大奖的宝座，他的作品都放到国家博物馆里去。你们看看这个火凤凰美不美：
当晚有放烟花，我又是献唱《国家》，也有带新七小福上台表演。
完成三亚的活动后，我就坐飞机回北京，跟唐季礼导演开剧本会议。
