Features: In the autumn of 1994, responding to the urgent call for a new image of Beijing, eight government institutions and 20 news media jointly launched the "Civilization Project." The "Capital Civilization Project Foundation" emerged in the history of Beijing's civilization and, over the past decade, has upheld the profound essence of civilization. Today, a decade later, the strategic goal of "New Beijing, New Olympics" has become a "pledge" for Beijing and even a nation. The ancient charm of Beijing's civilization and the modern elegance of its culture are interpreting a captivating image of "New Beijing." With the illumination of the Olympic torch, the century-old Olympics is about to enter Beijing time, and Beijing will fulfill its sacred promise of "New Olympics" to the world. To this end, the Capital Civilization Project Foundation has once again taken action, joining forces with the Beijing Cultural Development Foundation and the Civilization Magazine to meticulously launch the "Civilization—'New Beijing, New Olympics' Treasures Series," documenting the splendid process of the Beijing Olympics, passing on the Olympic spirit and culture, showcasing the splendid Chinese culture, and recreating the surprises Beijing has brought to the world. This is the inescapable responsibility of "Civilization" and the unavoidable mission of the Capital Civilization Project Foundation.
