Abstract

The Tai Chi tournament performed in the early morning of August 8, 2009 declared the opening of the China National Sports Day. Many mass media of China wrote up that the Olympic spirit has penetrated deeply into the Chinese blood. The effects of Olympic Games in Beijing extended not just over the world of sports but also the civil society. After Olympic Games, there are a lot of intellectuals expressed their opinions to advocate the coordination with the international community and criticize the Super patriotism which the book “China is angry”insisted. This phenomenon proves that a healthy space of public opinion is taking form in China. <br>　In recent years, with the social and economic evolution many NGO and NPO came into existence in China. Their activities are not mobilized as the mass movements used to be. Because of their volunteer activities, the specialists proclaimed that 2009 is the first year of Chinese civil society. <br>　The Olympic Games have also caused an argument about the liberty, democracy and human rights. Many experts called these pieces of concept general value. The catch phrase of Beijing Olympics was “One World, One Dream”. Many Chinese people are beginning to believe that the “One Dream” should be the general value which the people in the advanced countries believe.
