BEIJING -- About 2.3 million Chinese MSN users have added a pattern
of "red heart" and the English word "China" in front of their online
signatures to show their unity and patriotism. MSN China spokesman
Feng Guangshun released the figure on Thursday. Many more people
have opened their MSN accounts to find a message which asked them
to add the "red heart" and "China" in front of their signatures.
Feng said he expected the number of participants of this activity,
which started Wednesday as a spontaneous patriotic campaign by Chinese
Internet users, to raise dramatically in the following few days.
Many overseas Chinese have also taken up the logo. Li Zhen, a student
studying at the Mathematics Department of Iowa State University added
a dozen "red hearts" to his online signature. Li said he and other
Chinese students at his university printed out signs and logos of
Beijing Olympics and put them up at his department to let more people
know about Beijing Olympics.
