She wished good luck for the forthcoming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and she will present a special gift for the Beijing Olympic Games at her concert in Beijing -- a special song that is in accordance with the Olympic theme "One World One Dream."

Tickets for the concert will go on sale starting January 16, 2008. The first ticket, numbered 20080808, was given to former gymnast Sang Lan at the press conference.
