ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece, April 21 (Xinhua) -- The lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame is to be held in Ancient Olympia organized by the Hellenic Olympic Committee since 1936 for the Berlin Olympic Games.

The ritual starts with a procession of 30 priestesses towards the Temple of Hera, a goddess in Ancient Greek mythology.

In front of the ruins of the ancient temple, the High Priestess lights the torch by the means of a concave mirror using the sun's rays, calling the God of Sun Apollo to light the sacred flame.

"Apollo, king of the sun and the idea of light, send your rays and light the sacred torch," she prays.

The procession then moves into the stadium after a young boy cuts off a branch of olive tree called "kotinos" as a symbol of honor and victory.

On a hill around the stadium, a dozen priestesses and a dozen male dancers perform a choreography inspired by ancient Greece sculptures.

This year, the first part of the dance performance is entitled Kouroi and Korai (male youths and maidens) and the second Nereides after the goddesses of the sea who according to ancient Greek mythology were controlling the winds dancing with dolphins.

After the flame is transferred in a replica of an urn inside the stadium, the High Priestess lights the torch and passes the flame to the first torchbearer, the world champion in gymnastics, Lefteris Petrounias.

He will start the torch relay in the stadium by handing the flame over to Giovane Gavio, volleyball Olympic champion, representing Brazil.

The ritual is held under the rhythm of the flute, percussion sounds, bagpipes and the ancient lyre composed by musician Yannis Psimadas.

He will be playing the lyre and percussion instruments accompanied by Dimitris Barkos in bagpipe and gaida and Konstantina Ventouri-Roussou in flute.

BEIJING nike air max plus italia , May 25 (Xinhua) -- Praising the "sweet and luxurious air" in the United States and recalling "having difficult in breathing" in her hometown of Kunming, one of China's least polluted cities, Yang Shuping's speech went viral on the web this week.

"Five years ago, as I left the terminal at Dallas Airport Donne Nike Air VaporMax Plus Reverse Sunset Italia , I was ready to put on one of my five face masks, but when I took my first breath of American air, I put my mask away," said Yang Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Cargo Khaki Italia , a graduating senior at the University of Maryland.

She continued to say that "the air (in the United States) was so sweet and fresh, and utterly luxurious," in the eight-minute video clip.

The video has aroused controversy among Chinese netizens as Yang described Kunming as a place "where I had to wear a face mask every time I went outside, otherwise Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Bianche Italia , I might get sick."

According to statistics released by the city's Weibo account "Kunming Release," it was one of 10 cities with the best air quality out of 74 Chinese cities last year.

"I spent four years in Kunming, and I really love the fresh air and warm weather," said one Weibo user.

Another user wrote: "It is a fact that China has some problems Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Blu Nere Italia , but she was too over-the-top. She may have earned applause, but not my respect."

Some netizens even uploaded pictures of the blue sky and blossoming flowers in Kunming, a well-known tourist attraction for its mild climate and year-round greenery.

Facing an unexpected controversy, Yang apologized on her Weibo account Monday Uomo Nike Air VaporMax Plus Nere Italia , saying that she wishes to contribute to China with what she has learned abroad.

"I love my hometown and am proud of my country's development. I had no intention of disparaging my motherland," Yang wrote.

When asked about the commencement speech at a daily news briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said that any Chinese citizen should be responsible for the remarks he or she makes, and this applies to not only China-related issues Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Marrone Argento Italia , but also other issues.

"Many young Chinese students are now studying overseas. Their views and perceptions of some things may change and evolve after going abroad," said Lu. "But as long as they stand ready to contribute to their country, I believe the Chinese government will encourage, support and welcome them."

Yang's speech has also reminded people of He Jiang Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Triple Nere Italia , the first Chinese student to speak at Harvard's commencement ceremony last year, winning praise both at home and abroad.

He began his address with an anecdote about how, when he was a child, his mother cured a spider's bite by setting his hand on fire. The experience made him realize the unequal distribution of scientific knowledge throughout the world.

Growing up in a poor village with no electricity and running water in central China's Hunan Province Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Bianche Blu Italia , He said that he hopes to use the knowledge he has learned abroad to bring villagers into the world that people living in advanced countries and regions take for granted.

A comment on Xinhua News Agency's Weibo account "Xinhua International" compared He's speech with Yang's, and called on young people to be responsible for their behavior and distinguish right from wrong.
