Los
Angeles Rose Parade highlights Beijing Olympic
Float
•••
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- The Beijing Olympic
Float joined the renown Pasadena Tournament of Rose
Parade in Los Angeles on Tuesday, giving the show a
spectacular flavor.
•••
Millions of spectators from around the world
cheered as the Beijing Olympic Float passed.
•••
The Rose Parade featured magnificent floral floats,
high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching
bands, displaying the tradition and pageantry for
which it is renowned.
•••
The Beijing Olympic Float, organized by the
Roundtable of Southern California Chinese-American
Organizations and sponsored by Pasadena-based Avery
Dennison Corp., was one of the highlights of the
119th Rose Parade.
•••
This was the first time that the Chinese people
from the Mainland and overseas Chinese have joined
their hands in participating in the grand gala in
its 119-year history.
•••
The float represented the good wills of overseas
Chinese to the upcoming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games,
organizers said.
•••
The theme of this year's New Year's Day parade is
"Passport to the World's Celebrations." It featured
46 floats, 21 marching bands and 18 equestrian
units.
•••
The Beijing Olympic Float themed "One World, One
Dream" was a generous gift from the Beijing Olympic
Games to the American people and the Parade,
according to the organizers.
•••
The float featured the upcoming Olympics' five
official mascots rotating on a base and decorated
with a combination of flowers, including carnations
and daisy petals.
•••
Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard said the Beijing
Olympics Float "celebrates a great international
tradition of competition, discipline and commitment
to strong human values."
•••
"The tournament views the float as I do, as a
celebration of the Olympic Games," Bogaard
said.
•••
"The Tournament of Roses, which now has a history
extending over 119 years, is a nonpolitical
organization," he said. "It celebrates a great
competition consistent with the theme of the Rose
Parade this year, which is the World's Great
Celebrations."
•••
"My sense is that the spirit of the day will be to
celebrate the strength and the positive
achievements of people," Bogaard said.
•••
Richardson Rowe, a tourist from New York, said the
Beijing Olympic Float gave a new meaning to the
Rose Parade on the new year eve. "The
beautifully-decorated float impressed me a great
deal. It serves as a vivid introduction to the
Beijing Olympic Games," he said.
•••
This year's Rose Parade was broadcast on the
American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the
National Broadcasting Company (NBC), Univision,
HGTV, Travel Channel, Discovery HD as well as
several local television stations in the Los
Angeles area. The Parade was also seen in more than
150 international territories. Editor: Yan
