Features: Classic Olympic images from Europe, now making their debut in China. The topic was born from a conversation among three people in a café. The Olympic is not just a history book, but also a long-running popular drama, an interesting game, a romantic party for dreamers, and the hidden intentions or sorrowful emotions we have had, now and in the future. "The Carnival of the Earth" is both a painting and a light serenade, showcasing the images and memories of the Olympics, performing the classic symphony of the Olympic century, and narrating the stories that have happened on this planet. It seems to be about the Olympics, but in fact, it is the story of the people around you.
Author Bio: Sun Xin is the oldest of the three, at 28 years old. It’s not clear if this age is awkward, but he has been working in media-related fields. By the age of 28, he had already changed 8 jobs and is now in his 11th. He has worked in websites, newspapers, magazines, television, publishing, and content provision, but none of these jobs have truly captured his heart. He started writing poems at the age of 24. Over four years, he wrote over 800 poems, a number that surprises many. They believe poetry is simply a way to express emotions. He is a gentle and cheerful person, but perhaps, deep down, he is a frustrated youth. He also worked as a general manager for several months at a Sino-French joint venture company. Along the way, he is now doing some physical labor that doesn’t require much thinking at a publishing house.
Xu Jun didn’t finish college before going to Germany, where he studied for over a year before returning home. He is a free-spirited person who once helped a foreign band at a pub in Hangzhou and later went to a rural village in India as a volunteer. When asked why he went there, he said it was to tell those children about the world outside. His current job is at a well-known television production company in Hong Kong, where he has worked in almost every major television production company. He is now a television program planner. His greatest dream is to open a small café in Jamaica.
Xiao Yin, as a television program director, was asked to choose between being a film director, screenwriter, or writer. She chose writing. British female writer Virginia Woolf said that female writers must have a "room of their own" and the ambition to earn "500 pounds a year," which is also Xiao Yin’s simple idea. Her current work includes writing television and film scripts, directing television programs, and occasionally writing some text. She has also published books. This book showcases the images and memories of the Olympics, performs the classic symphony of the Olympic century, and narrates the stories that have happened on this planet.
