The young writer and photographer, Wang Jinjun, was invited by the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Organizing Committee to travel to Australia for three consecutive years, from 1997 to date, to follow up on the preparations for the Olympics. Based on extensive firsthand, the book vividly recounts anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories, delves into the twists and turns, highlights the focal points and hot issues, and gathers background details.

It is an exceptionally valuable and collectible book to read just before the opening of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
