China's smiling faces

Hai Rui, a boy of the Hui ethnic group, smiles as he plays with other pupils in Lanzhou Qing Hua Primary School, at Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China's Gansu Province, March 15, 2008. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) recently invited the school, which is known for having students from many ethnic groups, to submit photographs of smiling children for possible use in the August 8 Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. BOCOG started collecting photographs of children's smiling faces from around the world on Sept 4 last year. [Asianewsphoto] Related Reading
