Beijing Olympic – China’s state TV to launch high-definition channel for Olympics
Saturday, June 7th, 2008BEIJING, April 25 (Xinhua) — China Central Television (CCTV) on Friday announced it was to launch a comprehensive high-definition channel on May 1 to offer a better Olympics broadcast service and start a new era of TV technology in China.
“Chinese audiences will enjoy a brand-new audio-visual feast when Olympic events are broadcast in August,” said a CCTV spokesman.
The channel, called “CCTV-HD”, will air sports, TV plays, features, documentaries, entertainment, music and financial programs 24 hours a day. It aims to be a high-quality channel to promote Chinese culture, the spokesman said.
Before the Games, the audience in China can enjoy the live broadcast of the UEFA European Football Championship on the HD channel in June. During the Games, the channel will broadcast as the “Olympic HD Channel” and offer live broadcasts of all events and the opening and closing ceremonies.
By 2015, China plans to cover the whole country with wired, wireless or satellite HDTV signals and end analog broadcasting, according to officials. About 90 percent of the population is to receive HD channels via wireless digital TV technology within a few years.
At present, only eight cities, namely Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenyang, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, can receive HDTV programs.

Children Chinese – Great Wall of China
Saturday, June 7th, 2008The Chinese worked on the Great Wall for over 1700 years. In turn, each emperor who came to power added pieces of the wall to protect their dynasties. But the wall was not a solid wall. It was a line of disconnected barricades.
First Emperor Qin wanted a much better barricade to protect his people from the Mongol invaders to the north. He wanted a strong wall 30 feet wide and 50 feet high.
First Emperor Qin used peasants, captured enemies, criminals, scholars, and anyone else who irritated him, and put them all to work building the Great Wall. Laborers were not paid for their work. It was slave labor.
About 3000 people worked on the wall during the Qin Dynasty. Rocks fell on people. Walls caved in. Workers died of exhaustion and disease. Laborers were fed only enough food to keep them alive. There is an old Chinese saying, “Each stone in the wall represents a life lost in the wall’s construction.

This project continued long after First Emperor Qin抯 death. Building the wall was a project that continued for many hundreds of years until the wall was over 3700 miles long. Most emperors used the same system that Qin used, forced labor.
Today, the Great Wall still stands. It can be seen from space, it抯 that big!
