Wang Lee Hom was invited to become one of the first Chinese representatives to pass the Olympic torch. To be the torch bearer, he arrived in Athens, Greece, earlier, with sportsman Liu Hong Liang. He looked lively and full of vigour after he had a trim on his hair. Although it was only a 200-meter journey, Lee Hom wanted to run with a carriage that everybody would remember. When the cameras focused on him, he kept on making the peace sign. He said passionately, “I am given a special task today, passing the Olympic torch is just like kindling the flame of passion, and delivering hopes and dreams.”
Everybody complimented on Zhang Zi Yi’s good command of English
Before Lee Hom accepted the task, he went to the Olympics Sports Stadium and did some research on the history of the Olympics sports. He was there seven years ago with his family and so he had a deep impression on the place, thus he was inspired to write the song “Wei Yi”.
At the same time, he also met Zhang Zi Yi in Athens. Both of them decided to go out for a dinner. However, there were not only the two of them; there were a lot of foreign press/medias around as well. Lee Hom revealed that the both of them spoke in a mixture of Mandarin and English, and that Zhang Zi Yi’s English was very impressive. He kept on praising her as a hard-worker.
