飛機(jī)騰空而起，憑窗望去，多哈已是一片燈火闌珊，這座美麗的海灣城市，的確像一顆璀璨的明珠，萬家燈火組成了一個(gè)熠熠閃光的橢圓形"貝殼"，而在正中央通體透明的喜來登飯店正像貝殼中的珍珠在放射著耀眼的光芒。我凝視這幅美麗的圖畫，心里在輕聲說：真美啊，多哈，再見，多哈！
也許只有這一時(shí)刻，我們才有機(jī)會(huì)欣賞多哈的美麗。幾天來，一直在忙于報(bào)道會(huì)議，多哈的市容到底是什么樣子，我們幾位中央電視臺(tái)的記者的確不知道。每天都在新聞中心和會(huì)場(chǎng)穿梭，采訪，編片，發(fā)稿，吃不上飯，徹夜加班，幾乎沒怎麼睡過覺。臨上飛機(jī)，會(huì)議還沒有結(jié)束，而這之前我們還一直在等待會(huì)議是否能就啟動(dòng)新一輪多邊貿(mào)易談判達(dá)成協(xié)議，以期發(fā)出最后一篇稿件，直到我們不得不登機(jī)離開多哈。
作為親歷中國加入世界貿(mào)易組織的記者，苦和累絕對(duì)算不了什么，中國加入世貿(mào)組織是十三億中國人期盼了十五年的夢(mèng)想，而在2001年11月10日這一天，大會(huì)以經(jīng)久不息的掌聲一致通過中國加入世貿(mào)組織，使夢(mèng)想變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。當(dāng)時(shí)，我們激動(dòng)得歡呼跳躍，熱淚盈眶。令我特別激動(dòng)的是在中國加入世貿(mào)組織簽字儀式上，有關(guān)一面中國國旗的故事。
一位上海的老先生，買了一面巨幅國旗，這面國旗曾經(jīng)在1999年10月1日的天安門廣場(chǎng)升起；后來請(qǐng)國旗設(shè)計(jì)者曾連松在上面簽了名，老人家當(dāng)年10月18日就去世了；再后來這面國旗又被帶到悉尼2000年奧運(yùn)會(huì)的慶功會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)；今年7月13日中國申奧成功，這面五星紅旗又出現(xiàn)在慶祝勝利的直播現(xiàn)場(chǎng)。他想讓這面國旗見證所有讓中國人驕傲的大事，包括中國加入世貿(mào)組織。
11月11日晚，中央電視臺(tái)的記者肖振生已同我國政府代表團(tuán)聯(lián)系好，在這面國旗下全體代表團(tuán)成員簽字留念。石廣生部長(zhǎng)聽到后十分高興。臨入會(huì)場(chǎng)前，肖振生有其它任務(wù)，他把國旗交給了我，要我把國旗帶到會(huì)場(chǎng)，親手交給中國政府代表團(tuán)。我接過沉甸甸的國旗，心情十分沉重，我知道，這不僅僅是一位普通中國老人的愿望，更是全體中國人民的愿望。盼望中國早日加入世貿(mào)組織，為此有多少黑發(fā)人盼成了白發(fā)人，又有多少人未能目睹這一刻而懷著遺憾離開了我們……
我手托著這面國旗腳步沉重地走入了喜來登飯店的馬加利斯會(huì)議廳，親手把她交給了中國政府代表團(tuán)。在石廣生部長(zhǎng)在重達(dá)十三公斤的中國加入世貿(mào)組織法律文件上簽字之后，這時(shí)，一面鮮紅的五星紅旗在主席臺(tái)上伸展開來，每一位在場(chǎng)的中國人都站起來歡呼雀躍，我們把手都拍紅了。百感交集，此時(shí)只能用掌聲來表達(dá)。全體中國政府代表團(tuán)在這面紅旗下合影留念并在紅旗上簽名。全體中國人民盼望已久的夢(mèng)想終于變成現(xiàn)實(shí)，每一位中國人怎能不為之驕傲和自豪！此時(shí)，滾燙的國歌在我們的心頭升起，在會(huì)議大廳回蕩。也許沒有哪一個(gè)國家為申請(qǐng)加入世貿(mào)組織花費(fèi)了十五年時(shí)間，中國的入世，歷經(jīng)坎坷，但是正因?yàn)橹袊髯迦嗣裨邳h中央的正確領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，奮發(fā)圖強(qiáng)，改革開放，取得了讓世界矚目的輝煌成就，中國的入世才得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們不能不為祖國而驕傲、而自豪！
當(dāng)然，中國加入世貿(mào)組織，只是中國以平等的身份參加世界貿(mào)易競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的開始，前方的道路并不平坦，需要我們一如既往去拼搏進(jìn)取。多哈，僅僅是一個(gè)新的起點(diǎn)。再見，多哈！多哈，再見！
最感動(dòng)的事：宣布中國加入世貿(mào)組織、在場(chǎng)中國人情不自禁鼓掌的那一刻
印象最深的事：阿拉伯人的認(rèn)真。舉個(gè)例子，如果你在一個(gè)攤主那里買三件商品，你不能三件商品一起算帳，而是一件一件單算，在計(jì)算器面前，心算是沒有用武之地的
中國入世的一點(diǎn)感想：入世后人才面臨的挑戰(zhàn)較大
The National Flag Story
By Wang Yongli
As the aircraft ascended into the sky I looked outside through the cabin window and found Doha, the beautiful bay city, brilliantly illuminated like a shining jewel. The myriad of twinkling lights of the city formed a gleaming oval shell, while in the centre, the transparent Sheraton Hotel looked like a huge pearl radiating a dazzling light. I looked at this landscape, and I heartily said: “How beautiful, Doha, goodbye, Doha!”
Maybe only in this moment did we have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Doha. Over the past few days I had been busy reporting on the meeting, so what the city of Doha looked like, my colleagues and I, a group of CCTV reporters, really did not know. Every day we were so buried in the press center, interviewing, reporting, and editing, that we nearly did not have time to eat, rest, or even to sleep. Before boarding the plane, when the meeting was just over, my colleagues and I in the press center were anxiously waiting for the result that the meeting would reach an agreement to start a new round of multilateral trade negotiations. I made the final report to the headquarters of CCTV, before we had to board the plane leaving Doha.
Witnessing China's accession to the world trade organization on 10 November 2001, I, a reporter, felt very excited (besides tired and exhausted), as one billion three hundred million Chinese had dreamed about the moment for fifteen years. In the meeting hall, all deputies clapped hands with a prolonged applause after agreeing China's accession to the WTO. A great dream became true. All Chinese people were hailing, jumping, and tearing. Besides this, what got me over-excited was the story of the Chinese national flag at the signature signing ceremony.
On National Day in Tiananmen Square on 1 October 1999 an old Shanghai gentleman named Zhang with a huge national flag made the flag rise in the ceremony of celebration. Later, on 18 October of that year, he asked the flag designer Ceng Liansong to sign his name on it. The old gentleman died not long after. His will was to have the flag witness all of China’s important victories. The flag was first taken to the Sydney 2000 Olympic celebration site. On 13 July 2001 China successfully applied to hold the Olympic Games, and the five star red flag appeared in the live broadcast to celebrate the big victory. Zhang also hoped that the flag would witness China's accession to the World Trade Organization.
Late on 11 November 2001, my colleague Xiao Zhensheng and I contacted the Chinese government delegation to ask all of its members to sign their names on the flag and to take photos with it. When Minister Shi Guangsheng heard this he said yes with a very happy mood. Before going into the venue, my colleague Xiao Zhensheng had other task, so he handed the flag to me, and asked me to take it to the delegation. I received the heavy national flag from him and my mood became very heavy, for I knew this was not just an ordinary Chinese person’s desire, but the desire of all the Chinese people. All Chinese people had been looking forward to China's early accession to the WTO, but the waiting time became so long that many black haired people became white-haired, and many people failed to see this moment, leaving us with regret.
Holding the flag with two hands, I trudged into the Magarris conference hall at the Sheraton Hotel and, standing face to face handed the flag over to the Chinese government delegation. When Minister Shi Guangsheng signed his signature in the legal document of the Chinese accession to the WTO, which was about thirteen kilograms, the Chinese delegation members then stretched the five star red flag on the chairman's podium, to make the signing ceremony more magnificent. Each Chinese person present stood up and clapped hands as cheerfully as larks—our hands became red from the heavy clapping. At this moment only the applause and sobbing tears of joy could express the mixed Chinese feelings. All the Chinese government delegation members stood in a row under the huge red flag and the photographers snapped pictures of them to record the important event. The dream all Chinese people had waited such a long time for was now true, the Chinese could be proud and pleased! At this moment, the national anthem was sung from our mouths and hearts, resounding over and over in the conference hall. Perhaps no other country had been applying to join the WTO for fifteen years to feel this way. Although China 's accession to the WTO experienced ups and downs, because the Chinese people, with all its ethnic groups under the leadership of the central committee of the party, made great efforts in reforming and opening up, we made a brilliant achievement and our big dream became true. We were proud for our motherland and proud for the people!
Of course, China's accession to the WTO means a new beginning. China can has an equal opportunity to take part in the competition of international trade, but the road ahead will not be smooth or the same as in the past, so we need to struggle to forge ahead. Doha is only a new starting point. Goodbye Doha. Doha, Goodbye.
The most touching thing: the announcement of China's accession to the WTO and the Chinese clapping hands with such strong feelings at that moment.
The most impressive thing: that Arab people are very serious. For example, if you are in a stall to buy items, you cannot purchase three items together and sum the value yourself, you till up an item at a time in front of the calculator—there is no play for your mental arithmetic.
The thoughts about China's accession to the WTO: after entry to the WTO China will face greater challenges.
