A top French envoy delivered a personal letter of apology Monday from President Nicolas Sarkozy to a wheelchair-bound Chinese athlete who shielded the Olympic torch from pro-Tibet protesters.
French Senate president Christian Poncelet, reading from the letter, said Sarkozy condemned the attack on Jin Jing during the chaotic Paris leg of the torch relay.
"I was shocked to see what happened during the torch relay," Poncelet said, quoting from Sarkozy's letter.
"It is understandable that the Chinese people feel hurt. I hereby strongly condemn what they did."
Jin, a fencer, was attacked when pro-Tibet protesters repeatedly disrupted the April 7 relay, and had to fend off attempts to grab the torch.
The incident has turned Jin into a hero figure while the state-run press in China has used it as symbolic of the disruption that has marred the relay and angered Chinese hoping for a successful Beijing Olympics in August.
Poncelet delivered the letter to Jin Jing after arriving in Shanghai for a visit during which he is also expected to meet top Chinese leaders, including President Hu Jintao.
Anti-French feelings triggered in part by the incident involving Jin flared up in protests at the weekend outside branches in China of French supermarket giant Carrefour.
建國69年，
一代又一代，
有被犧牲掉的一代，
有被打擊調的一代，
有被利用的一代，
有被愚弄的一代，
有奮鬥的一代，
有享受的一代..........
但，他們摒棄前嫌，團結在了一起。

「耳光」打完就完了？法國人羞辱了我們，我們決不能草草罷休。
法國議長吻的是中國的市場，和中國人口帶里的鈔票，不是我們的火炬手。
法國在玩政治游戲，我們陪他玩，給他們點厲害看看。
從我做起，從家樂福做起

knowing when to do what to do is wisdom of thought and not everyone has it. do you?
