The Gost Festival comes.
Today it is very cool and a little windy so we did not turn on the electric fan, perhaps because it is after Liqiu. My daughter and wife did not their routines. In the afternoon, after going over all the vowels, my daughter finished studying three pairs of explodents among consonants. She still did very well in practising them.
Today is the Gost Festival that falls on the lunar July 15 every year. On the day, the whole family come together, offering a common sacrifice to the victims of the families, or relatives, by burning paper money to wish that they are living happily and well in Hell.
Today our Olympians continued their excellent performances in the games. Cao Lei, two-time world champion, claimed the title in women's 75kg category weightlifting event, winning our delegation its seventh weightlifting gold, also the 23rd gold medal for our country. At the beginning, Cao domiated the game as she snatched 128kg, and lifted 154kg in clean & jerk, breaking three Olympic records. At last, she tried to break the total world record of this event in her third jerk attempt, by ordering 159kg, but failed. She happily bowed to the spectors and hugged with her coach.
In the evening, our Olympian Tong Wen bagged the 24th gold for our delegation in women's Judo +78kg category event at the last minute. After a short time, Lu Yong seized the 25th gold for us in men's 85kg category weightlifting event. In the just-finished event, Du Jing and Yu Yang made a gooooood performance and stormed to their first ever victory in the badminton women's double final, by beating a pair of Korean players.
I am very happy today and wish everybody a goooooooooood dream.
