The ongoing London Olympics has become a huge topic in China as many express their excitement, anger and grievances through the country's fledgling social media. Behind the war of words is a collision of values among people, which was unusual before Twitter-like sites emerged.
The empty seats at London's Olympic venues are annoying to those whose ticket applications were denied due to apparently sold-out venues. They are also an indictment of the IOC's inability to learn from past mistakes.
To win gold medals, we should always follow the philosophy of fair play. Under no circumstances should the means employed to win a gold medal violate the principle of fair play or the Olympic spirit, or be disrespectful to spectators.
The London Olympic Games are the perfect opportunity to present the world with a fresh image of Chinese journalists. Despite our early yellow card, it is not yet too late for us to prove ourselves.
To win, or not to win, that should never be the question at the Olympic Games. Honor and dishonor medals do not determine, for that is not the spirit of sports.
