The soldier in the photo, named Yan Zhen, is a soldier of the People's Liberation Army Honor Guard Brigade and a flag bearer for the Beijing Winter Olympics. The scene where he shed tears at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics has touched hundreds of millions of people.
Yan Zhen said: "I stood on the flag-raising platform of the Olympic Games, my heart was full of pride, thinking of how hard-won the prosperity of the motherland is today, it is an indescribable pride and love, and tears will come out of my eyes..."
At the summary and commendation meeting of the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games held on April 8, the general secretary specifically mentioned the flag bearer in his speech and quoted this passage from him.
Here are the lyrics of "Moving for You"
When the landslide cracks
Seen your brave retrograde
When the flood hits
Seen your charge on the cusp of the storm
The closest border to the sky
There is a back like your mountain
The moment the flag is raised
I saw your tearful face
Your retrograde is the most beautiful retrograde
Your charge is the coolest charge
Your back, the tallest back
Tearful faces
Let all the sons and daughters of China be moved
You have a proud name
Soldiers of China, the children of the people
("Moving for You" is written by Jia Yong and composed by Emao)
