On Sunday night in Beijing acclaimed Chinese musicians attended
the ceremony to launch the fourth campaign for music for the 2008 Olympics.
Those who've shown an interest in making a contribution include
Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau, Taiwan love song sensation Jeff Zhang
and the new star from the Chinese mainland Zhou Bichang, who became
popular through the 2005 Super Girl singing competition.
Andy Lau proposed using English songs to access a wider
audience.
Seven types of musical works will be selected for the Beijing
Olympics and Paralympics from global submissions. The final results
will be announced 100 days before the Games.
