Just a few of the Olympics-related signs I've seen around Lanzhou recently. The Torch relay passes through Gansu this week. The revised route takes in Dunhuang (5 July), Jiayuguan (6 July), and Lanzhou (7 July).
As well as the explicit references to the Sichuan earthquake, there are also a few hidden ones. E.g. the use of 奉献 (fèngxiàn, meaning to 'respectfully give; devote', used recently in the context of charitable donations) and the mention of Gansu's low spirits (the south of the province was also affected quite badly).
Strength in unity, fighting the earthquake, providing disaster relief:
