Chinese in big party of farewell at Beijing Olympics´ perfect end

BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Tearful laughter, pride and relief were filling in the heart of millions of Chinese watching the big farewell "party" in Beijing's National Stadium, or Bird's Nest, Sunday evening.

The night at metropolis Shanghai downtown Xujiahui was lit up even brighter by the glittering Olympic closing ceremony being displayed on the big screen.

"I want to remember this most beautiful moment forever," said Lu Qian, a young local girl having her photo taken in front of the big screen. Around her, locals were crowded in the square and even on the overpasses, crazily cheering as if celebrating a big festival.

"The Olympics opening ceremony was very dazzling, showcasing the charisma of the Chinese people. The closing ceremony also has its own charm with its peacefull and joyful atmosphere," said Shen Yue, a student majored in visual art of Shanghai-based Fudan University and also volunteer for the Olympics.

Shanghai recruited more than 1,000 volunteers for the Games, 95 percent of whom are college students.
