1. The Chinese sycamore tree is used to make steel, and its finely woven structure is fragrant.
Natural life is full of vitality, cradling safely in the sun.
Pursue goodness, truth and beauty, be higher, faster and stronger.
The phoenix dances in the sky, and dreams are still fresh every year.
2. Overseas Chinese used foreign currency to finance the project, and every drop of it condensed into a water cube.
It is self-cleaning and does not stick to gray and black soil, and the dawn changes into a clear blue light. The dove of peace claps on the auspicious clouds and sings: The Olympic flag is flying and our aspirations are high.
Who turns into a dragon and swims freely, higher, faster and stronger
