John Ian Wing a Chinese student, had a dream and changed the Olympic Closing Ceremony
My dream of One Olympic Nation
Olympic history in the making

A Boy's Dream
The Closing Ceremony of the 1956 Olympic Games
For the very first time in the History of Mankind and Olympic History, ordinary men and women were allowed to come together, to intermingle and walk freely as One Nation. For that brief moment in time, war, politics and nationality were all forgotten,
