"One World One Dream" fully reflects the essence and the universal values
of the Olympic spirit -- Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony,
Participation and Dream. It expresses the common wishes of people all
over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for a bright
future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colors, languages and
races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we
seek for the ideal of Mankind for peace. We belong to the same world and
we share the same aspirations and dreams.
"One World One Dream" is a profound manifestation of the core concepts of
the Beijing Olympic Games. It reflects the values of harmony connoted in
the concept of "People's Olympics", the core and soul of the three
concepts -- "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics".
While "Harmony of Man with Nature" and "Peace Enjoys Priority" are the
philosophies and ideals of the Chinese people since ancient times in
their pursuit of the harmony between Man and Nature and the harmony among
people, building up a harmonious society and achieving harmonious
development are the dream and aspirations of ours. It is our belief that
peace and progress, harmonious development, living in amity, cooperation
and mutual benefit, and enjoying a happy life are the common ideals of
the people throughout the world.
"One World, One Dream" is simple in expressions, but profound in meaning.
It is of China, and also of the world. It conveys the lofty ideal of the
people in Beijing as well as in China to share the global community and
civilization and to create a bright future hand in hand with the people
from the rest of the world. It expresses the firm belief of a great
nation, with a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards
modernization, that is committed to peaceful development, harmonious
society and people's happiness. It voices the aspirations of 1.3 billion
Chinese people to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and
bright world.
The English translation of the slogan is distinctive in sentence
structure. The two "One"s are perfectly used in parallel, and the words
"World" and "Dream" form a good match. The slogan is simple, meaningful,
inspiring, and easy to remember, read and spread.
In Chinese, the word "tongyi", which means "the same", is used for the
English word "One". It highlights the theme of "the whole Mankind lives
in the same world and seeks for the same dream and ideal".
