At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the entry of the Chinese delegation became a classic moment.

Sportsmen are able to face the world in such a relaxed and vigorous manner. There is also a credit for Dongguan: all athletes including Liu Xiang and Yao Ming are wearing thick leather shoes in Dongguan on the opening ceremony.

"Yao Ming's shoes are big, too. The shoe model of 55 yards is specially sent from Beijing."

Yesterday, Yin Jiqi, chairman of a shoe factory in Houjie, told reporters smiling that they had produced 2000 pairs of special leather shoes for the Chinese delegation, "you can still see them in the closing ceremony."

At noon yesterday, in the exhibition room of Houjie Town, the shoe industry Co., Ltd., the reporter saw the special leather shoes of the Chinese delegation of the Olympic Games. There were four styles, including two men and two women. Among them, the OCOG officials provided black leather shoes, while those for Liu Xiang and Yao Ming were white.

Reporters found that the "Olympic leather shoes" on the insoles are also printed with the words "Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese sports delegation".
