"Green Olympics" is one of the three themes of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Since the bidding period, many children have been actively participating in various environmental activities such as resource conservation, animal protection and tree planting. They have done a lot to protect and improve their environment.

   The young people are the future of our country. They are the active participants in environmental protection. You are also the constructor of a habitable city where human beings live in harmony with nature. In this painting competition of "Green dreams, Colorful Olympics", these children have created over 2,000 vivid pictures showing their wonderful ideas and skills. Each painting reflects a special understanding of "Green Olympics" and a beautiful dream for the future. I believe, the painting of each child, will encourage their parents and more families to take part in green actions. More and more children, stimulated by your beautiful dreams, will display more creativity and play a leading role in protecting our environment.

   Countless drops of water gather into a river and one thousand mile starts from a small step. Our environment will certainly become cleaner and better if everyone starts to act in daily life. We share "One world, One dream". Let's work together to take care of the earth, to create a harmonious society, a peaceful world where human beings live in harmony with nature.
