The Beijing Olympic torch relay in Guiyang started in a drizzle at 8:15 am
local time today at the People's Square, with the first leg run by Ouyang
Ziyuan, chief scientist on China's moon exploration project.
"I feel so
honored to be selected by Guiyang," said the 73-year-old Ouyang, who was born
and spent most of his life in Guiyang.
The "City of Forests" is the first
stop of the relay in Guizhou, which is located on the east of the Yunnan-Guizhou
Plateau in southwest China.
