Rina Risper19 years ago011 mins

China is rushing to get ready for the 2008 Summer Olympics. But for millions of Chinese in the interior of the country, far away from Beijing and the other cities on the east coast, the Olympics will have little relevance to their lives. Changsha in Hunan province is the birthplace of Mao’s revolution but as NAM contributor Rian Dundon finds out, the Olympics seem very distant from Changsha.

CHANGSHA, Hunan – Mao launched his revolution from Changsha, but from this provincial capital of 2 million the Olympics seem very distant. Beijing and other cities are frenziedly transforming themselves into showcase cities for the 2008 Olympics, but in China’s interior, where 60 percent of the population lives, the Olympics are just something you watch on television.

Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Olympics is on Friday, August 8, 2008

The Closing Ceremony is on Sunday, August 24, 2008
