Chinese people are all enthusiastic about the Beijing Olympics and many people are recording the great event in various ways. Wu Wei, a teacher with the Zhejiang Textiles and Garments College, created a huge oil painting that consists of 45 scenes. He named the painting Image Memory of Famous Olympic Athletes of China. 

The painting of Image Memory of the Famous Olympic Athletes is hung on the wall the studio of Wu Wei. Each of the 45 paintings is about half a meter wide. Wu Wei started to paint them in March this year. He just uses black and white images to show the charm of the famous athletes. After four months of industrious work, he finally finished them before the opening of the Games.
 
Wu Wei plans to add some images of athletes after the Games is concluded. He wants to increase the number of images to 50. Wu Wei believes what is important does not lie on the painting itself, but the profound understanding of the Olympic spirit. 

Wu Wei, a teacher of Zhejiang Textiles and Garments College said: “I feel we sometimes need to learn from the athletes. Very often we want to give up or refrain from doing something we want to do. When you set a goal, you need to work on it.”
