My Take
Liu Qi is a heavyweight of a very different sort. Rising from Wujin to become Party Secretary of Beijing and a member of the Politburo, he operated at the very top of Chinese governance. What grips me most is his role as president of the Beijing 2008 Olympics Organizing Committee, steering one of the largest global spectacles ever staged, an undertaking whose logistical weight is almost dizzying to imagine. His Gold Olympic Order feels well earned. Born in 1942, he carried the full historical heft of modern China through decades of upheaval, the kind of consequential life that rarely seeks the spotlight.
