It was hard to tell which was higher yesterday, Beijing's temperature or the
mood of the 1,123 Taiwanese youths attending the 2005 Summer Camp.

| Under the blazing sun, they
cheered the opening of their camp by waving their flags at Zhongshan Park.
Held by the All China Taiwanese Association, the 15-day summer camp attracted
895 members from the island, most of whom are university students.
Taiwanese students who study on the mainland or overseas also joined the
camp, expecting to experience more Chinese culture and make new friends.
"It's my first time here," said Xu Yuanhao, a 20-year-old student from
Taipei. "Everything looks exciting."
Though he broke his leg a few days before the trip and is temporarily
confined to a wheelchair, Xu insisted on attending.
"Besides the historical sights here, what I'm interested in most is the 2008
Olympic Games," Xu said. "Before we leave Beijing, the trip organizing committee
will select 100 camp members and offer them free trips to Beijing in 2008. I
hope I can be that lucky!"
No wonder the two-hour lecture by Jiang Xiaoyu, vice-chairman of the
organizing committee for the Games, was so popular.
