同一个世界同一个梦想

Last Wednesday, me and Christoph went to our Chinese language class in Jing An. The weather was beautiful so we decided in favour of a detour, through the park. On our way, we met a bunch of teenagers wearing red caps, fired up to have people sign their large red banner. In good spirits they dared to engage us foreigners, showing us a large cardboard sign and asking for a signature. The sign read:
"Fighting!Beijing 2008"
Where we being tricked? Was this a wicked scheme designed to have us believe these innocent and cheery youngsters were supporting the games, while in fact staging some kind of disguised public protest?
I asked them. They were oblivious of the ambiguous nature of their cardboard poster. Of course, to say in English fighting smth. means to fight against" rather than for something (the latter of which, to our relieve, they where actually trying to express). Accompanied by frenzied laughter, quickly a "for" was inserted, the banner signed, and on it went, life in Shanghai.
