Official website report on May 22 After expressing deep condolences to the compatriots who died in the Sichuan Wenchuan earthquake, the Beijing Olympic torch relay activities were suspended for three days from May 19 to 21. On May 22, the Olympic torch relay continued in Ningbo and Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province.
In support of the disaster relief work for the people in the disaster areas in Sichuan, special arrangements have been made for the Olympic torch relay activities in Sichuan Province. The BOCOG decided that the time of the torch relay in Sichuan would be arranged before the relay entered Beijing, which was adjusted from June 15-18 to August 3-August 5, and accordingly adjusted the relay schedule of other provinces and cities that had not been passed. The BOCOG emphasized that the Olympic torch relay activities should be closely combined with the disaster relief work, and the theme of "relay the sacred fire and dedication care" should be more prominent in the relay activities, so as to make the Olympic torch relay a relay of love, further support the country's earthquake relief work, and make the 2008 Olympic Games an "unique, high level", highlighting the concept of "humanistic Olympics".
