Expo origami blessing Samaranch

Samaranch is no stranger to many Chinese people, especially the successful bid for the Beijing Olympics, which made the name Samaranch well known to every Chinese. At the ceremony announcing Beijing as the host city of the 28th Olympic Games, the moment Samaranch pronounced "Beijing", no one could forget this lovely old man. July 17th is the 90th anniversary of the birth of the late Honorary Lifetime President of the International Olympic Committee Samaranch. Relevant commemorative activities were held at the Olympic Village Case Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo and the Barcelona Pavilion in Spain.

On that day, the Olympic Village Case Hall has been completely transformed into a memorial hall for Samaranch, where there are many photos and written descriptions of Samaranchs life. Among them, there is a Samaranch paper-cut that attracts peoples attention and love. This is a paper-cut of Samaranchs portrait specially produced by the National Olympic Village Case Museum. In the paper-cut works, Samaranch smiles kindly, making people feel the infinite affinity and indescribable charm exuded by this great old man. The director of the Spanish Pavilion in Barcelona expressed special thanks to the Chinese people for their love and memory of Samaranch, and was honored to be a good friend through the Chinese like Samaranch.

At the same time, other related commemorative activities were held in the tank. One of them made origami cranes to commemorate Mr. Samaranch, and the curator of the Barcelona Pavilion in Spain also specially made an origami crane, using this traditional Chinese handicraft to express his memory of Samaranch. Other visitors in the museum and participants in the event also made origami cranes and hung them high in the museum. The red paper cranes made the smile of old man Samaranch even brighter, and also made Samaranch smile brighter. We miss this lovely old man even more.
