Chinese Farmer at the Olympics!!

A Chinese farmer says he has spent two years riding nearly 60,000 km through 16 countries on a rickshaw to reach London in time for the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony!!

Chen Guanming, 57, said his goal had been to "spread the Olympic spirit" on his journey through war zones, floods, and extreme temperatures in countries including Taiwan, Turkey and Iraq.

"I wanted to arrive on time for the opening ceremony. I had to face both floods and very hot and dry conditions."

He added, "Londoners are very welcoming, the city is welcoming the whole world in a very nice way."

What an inspirational man!!!
