Love Story - GE Healthcare In Rural China Commercial



GE ran a commercial in 2008 presenting a guy and gal chase. I actually saw the commercial during the 2008 Olympics. The song is called 在夏天 by 曹方. That would be "In Summer" by "Cao Feng". Although I would translate it to "during summer". Whatevers.

It's a pretty cute commercial and the two leads are quite easy on the eyes. However, they really stick out like a sore thumb in that environment. I would say it is like taking a one of the Duggers and dropping them in with the Kardashians. Country vs. City. Its so easy to tell.

To this day, I can't find any 411 on the 2 leads of the commercial nor have I seen them in anything else.

Anyways, I like the commercial and you should check it out.

I had mentioned this back in 2008 during my closing thoughts on the 2008 Olympics.

Closing Thoughts on the 2008 Summer Olympics

I only saw the last hour of the closing ceremony. Looked a lot less assuming than the Opening Ceremony. I also found it interesting that Phelps ditched the Opening and the Closing ceremonies. The face of these Olympics is absent from the beginning and the end.

In any case, the US ended up with the most medals overall and matched its Athen games Gold Medal count. But if you count the actual number (teams medal(s) only count once in the official count) of medals (each member of team), the US made out with the most by a large margin. It helps that there are 10+ basketball players and a gazillion people in softball, soccer, volleyball.

As for China, 40 golds were the said reach. Well, it got 51 of them. I highly doubt that'll happen in London.

All in all, I thought this was the best Olympics I've seen from the week 1 perspective. Week 2 wasn't as interesting.

In the end, the political issues that abounded before were absent from the last 2 weeks, but it'll be back again.

I also loved the commericals that GE had. Very interesting, including the rural China one. The song "在夏天" from Cao Fang (曹方).
