09Aug China Flag Was Placed Upside Down
Nine-year-old earthquake survivor Lin Hao (left) walked with Yao Ming (China’s national flag-bearer) in the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at the Bird’s Nest. Some people noticed that the flag that Lin Hao was holding was placed upside down. It was believed that there was mistake back at the manufacture line, and this had nothing to do with earthquake. In Chinese culture, the word 福 (Fu, means luck) often written upside down as this indicates that luck is coming.
