These workers have volunteered, without pay, to be cheerleaders. They are receiving 10 hours of instruction in how to shout the officially approved slogans, such as Go China! Go Olympics!
Our cheering squads are more of a collective undertaking than NBA cheerleaders; they\'re more unified as a whole, Zhang says, explaining why China\'s fans should cheer with one voice. Our squad is made up of workers and staff from different units, and they show the realization of our 100-year-long dream.
