Features: The Olympic Games are not only a sports event but also a cultural event. Therefore, every host city will spare no effort to strengthen its infrastructure and software, and Beijing is no exception. In 2008, China will become the protagonist of the Olympics. At that time, people will not only focus on how many gold medals China can win but also on the reception and service level of the Chinese people. China has been renowned since ancient times as the "Land of Etiquette," and the modesty of the Chinese people has always been praised by the world. However, it cannot be denied that to this day, on one hand, some traditional etiquette and cultural practices in China have not been properly passed down, and on the other hand, we are still unfamiliar with the complex international etiquette. In this context, to host a perfect Olympic Games, it is imperative to quickly improve the etiquette level of the Chinese people. The Beijing 2008 Olympics touches the hearts of every Chinese person, and the author of this book, the renowned etiquette trainer Ms. Shi Yongqi, also hopes to contribute her efforts. She introduces the various etiquette that the host must understand from both work and life aspects. This book can serve as both an etiquette training manual for Olympic Games staff and volunteers, and a practical guide for the general public, especially those in the service industry, to improve their etiquette level.
