Worker's Stadium has a new lookPosted by Banyue, February 28, 2008 6:21 PM
 Beijing Daily Messenger February 28, 2008 Today's Beijing Daily Messenger features the renovated Beijing Worker's Stadium on its front cover. The stadium, which seats 62,000, will be the main venue for football during Olympic Games. Renovation work has been going on for two years. The top headline announces the opening of the Second Plenary Session of the 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. See the China Daily for more information about this exciting event. Other headlines: • Beijing will introduce a new medical insurance policy for urban unemployed and disabled people by June. • Five short films shot by five famous directors meet the public today. The films, showing the city of Beijing during its preparation for the Olympic Games, are directed by Giuseppe Tornatore (Italy), Majid Majidi (Iran), Patrice Leconte (France), Daryl Goodrich (Britain), and Andrew Lau Wai Keung (Hong Kong). • Beijing Subway Line 10 will be decorated in a black, white, and grey color scheme. • Chinese basketball star Yao Ming seriously injured his foot yesterday and will miss the rest of the NBA season. It is still unknown whether he will be able to represent China at the Olympics. |
