Whether
there’s
afterlife,
the
answer
has
never
been
the
same.
The
atheists
deny
after
life,
believing
that
our
life
is
no
more
than
from
the
cradle
to
the
grave.
They
may
care
about
their
illustrious
names
after
death;
they
may
feel
attached
to
the
affection
of
their
offspring,
but
they
never
lay
their
hopes
on
their
afterlife.
They
may
also
say
that
good
will
be
rewarded
with
good,
and
evil
with
evil,
but
they
don’t
really
believe
any
retribution
in
their
after
life.
However,
in
the
religious
world
or
among
the
superstitious
people,
the
belief
in
afterlife
is
very
popular.
They
do
not
only
believe
in
afterlife,
but
thousands
of
reincarnations
as
well.
In
the
mysterious
world,
there
are
the
paradise
and
the
hell,
the
celestial
beings
and
the
gods,
the
Buddha
and
the
Bodhisattvas.
Maybe
they
really
believed
it,
or
maybe
they
just
wanted
to
make
use
of
people’s
veneration,
the
ancient
emperors
always
declared
that
they
were
the
real
dragons,
the
sons
of
God,
while
the
royal
ministers
claimed
to
be
the
reincarnations
of
various
constellations.
But
can
the
stars
reincarnate?
Many
people
burn
incense
and
kowtow,
do
good
deeds
and
strive
for
virtues,
not
just
for
the
present,
but
mainly
to
let
God
see
their
sincerity
so
as
to
be
reborn
into
a
better
afterlife,
or
to
achieve
the
highest
enlightenment
after
several
lives
of
practice.
They
do
believe
in
afterlife.
But
I
can’t
help
asking:
Suppose
there
were
no
afterlife,
would
you
still
do
good
deeds
and
strive
for
virtues?
And
If
God
does
not
see
what
you
are
doing,
would
you
still
be
so
upright
and
selfless?
If
you
work,
not
for
serving
the
public
and
liberating
the
others,
but
just
for
a
better
afterlife
of
your
own,
isn’t
it
a
little
too
selfish?
Comparing
with
this
kind
of
believers,
those
who
don’t
believe
in
afterlife,
but
still
keep
doing
good
deeds,
are
the
most
sincere
and
honest
philanthropists,
because
they
do
them
not
for
themselves
but
for
other.
You
may
wonder
if
I
believe
in
afterlife.
My
answer
is:
I
know
nothing
about
my
previous
life,
so
I
dare
not
make
improper
comments
on
afterlife.
But
I
do
hope
there’s
afterlife!
Because
our
present
life
is
so
short
that
so
many
things
slip
away
before
our
proper
understanding.
I
have
so
many
dreams,
so
many
wishes,
so
many
ambitions,
as
well
as
so
many
regrets
and
concerns.
If
there
were
no
afterlife,
all
of
them
will
remain
unrealized!
I’m
not
contented
with
the
present
commonplace
life,
I’m
very
much
attached
to
the
affections
that
should
have
been
mine
but
have
been
washed
away
by
the
hurrying
time,
and
I
yearn
for
the
perfection
and
maturity
if
I
could
start
all
over
again.
So
believe
it
or
not,
I’d
rather
there
were
afterlife.

Bidding
for
the
Olympic
Games
is,
in
a
way,
an
image-creating
undertaking.
The
first
and
foremost
thing
is
to
let
people
fall
in
love
with
the
city
at
first
sight,
attracting
them
by
its
unique
image.
What
image
does
Beijing
intend
to
create
for
itself
once
it
has
the
opportunity
to
host
the
2008
Olympics?
It’s
known
to
all
that
the
Beijing
Municipal
Government
has
already
set
the
theme
for
the
future
games:
New
Beijing,
Great
Olympics.
For
me,
the
2008
Olympics
will
be
a
great
green
Olympics
illuminated
with
two
more
special
colors,
yellow
and
red.
First,
yellow
is
a
meaningful
color.
The
Yellow
River
is
China’s
mother
river
and
the
cradle
of
Chinese
civilization.
We
are
of
the
yellow
race
and
descendants
of
the
Yellow
Emperor.
This
color
has
a
special
origin
and
great
significance
for
the
Chinese
people.
Beijing
is
the
capital
of
New
China
and
previously
the
capital
for
nine
dynasties
in
Chinese
history.
So,
yellow
will
naturally
add
splendor
to
the
2008
Games.
Secondly,
the
2008
Olympics
will
be
a
red
pageant.
Above
all,
the
2008
Olympics
will
be
a
green
Olympics.
Certainly,
all
of
this
is
no
easy
task.
But
I
am
sure
that
all
of
us
have
conf
