Let’s learn to cheer in Chinese (Video):
Beijing! Jiayou!
Zhongguo (China)! Jiayou!
Aoyun (Olympics)! Jiayou!
Yao Ming! Jiayou!

JIA YOU:
(1) add oil, refuel at the refuelling station for your cars;
(2) cheers; to make an extra effort;

I was at the Olympics and during the opening ceremony, I watched from outside the stadium. One person would shout something like “zhong guo!” or “ao yun!” and everyone would respond with “jia you”. Ask teachers from www.ChineseHour.com for details.

One Russian guy thought it was funny how people wher cheering, so he decided to lead the cheer. He stared with “zhong guo!” but then started shouting “Russia!” and the Chinese still responded with “jia you!

So funny how they were so pumped up that they didn’t know what “Russia” means.
