The Olympic Games aftermath
The 29th Olympic Games in Beijing ended with China winning 51 gold medals.
As a Chinese person, I was very proud of the country's athletes and the Olympic organisers. The opening and closing ceremonies were gorgeous and impressed people all over the world.
The international view was the mainland has changed and become more modern.
A few months before the Olympic Games, the Beijing Government implemented many policies to change the city. People were encouraged to learn English and a lot of money was spent to clean up the city and reduce air pollution.
But I'm worried these policies will end once international attention is no longer focused on the city. If this happens, all the hard work will have been meaningless.
I hope the central government continues to uphold these principles. They will benefit the whole country and all its citizens.
