Qingdao city in eastern China's Shandong Province, a co-host city for the Beijing Olympic Games, plans to set up an Olympic portrait wall to welcome the coming event.

As many renowned artists did portraits for Olympic volunteers and Qingdao citizens, these models are also excited for their involvement in the promotion of the Olympic Games.

The eldest model, Zhang Yuying, is nearly 90 years old, and here's her son:

My mother was born on August 8, 1918, her birthday August 8th. is the day for the opening ceremony of this year's Beijing Olympic Games.

Meanwhile, the youngest model was a baby of merely six months old, and her mother felt very excited for the portrait wall.

We are very glad that our child was selected as a model. She is lucky. We believe that she will be very proud of this event after she grows up.

All the portraits will be kept on the Olympic portrait wall in Qingdao city for a long time, allowing people to celebrate the Olympic Games and welcome overseas friends for the event.

Qingdao, a costal city in east China's Shangdong province, is the venue for the sailing events of this summer's Olympic Games.
