Blind torch bearer Xue Lanmei, the No.65 torch bearer in the Beijing
Olympic torch relay Taizhou leg, eastern China's Jiangsu province, today
expressed confidence to the recovery of quake-hit Sichuan province.
"In the
earthquake I witnessed and truly felt the spiritual strength of people in that
region. I am confident that they will stand up and keep moving again for bright
prospect," said Xue, the women's 70kg Judo champion in 2004 Athens Paralympic
Games.
"The sacred flame unites Chinese people all over the world together,"
she added. "Those suffering the disaster will not and never be alone."
