Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...
The young people even had national flag stickers on their faces, which didn't look out of place at all; on such a joyous occasion, they actually looked especially good.
In her previous life, Chen Hong had also watched the live broadcast of the Olympic Games opening ceremony. The joy and pride she felt at that time are national sentiments that every Chinese person should remember most fondly.
Ironically, this year's Olympic opening ceremony completely outshone the opening ceremony of the Japanese Olympics.
When Chen Hong thinks of the Olympics held in Japan, she can't help but laugh. The opening ceremony of that Olympics was known worldwide as the most terrifying opening ceremony in Olympic history.
Their art was out of touch with reality; it went straight to the underworld. Other opening ceremonies transcend the masses; Japan's opening ceremony was more like a ritual for the dead. The absurdity was simply unparalleled, drawing criticism from people all over the world!
In stark contrast to the opening ceremony of the Japanese Olympics, the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympics was held in China!
…………
As the family lined up to enter, the opening ceremony hadn't even started yet, but the pre-opening performances were already quite impressive.
As the time drew near, the entire audience spontaneously clapped twice in a rhythmic manner, raised their thumbs up, and shouted: Go China!
Thunderous applause erupted in the arena, the sound as loud as a bell!
The cheers were unified, resounding, and powerful!
It was almost eight o'clock; at 7:55, people gradually quieted down.
Suddenly, the lights went out, plunging the entire Bird's Nest stadium into darkness.
Tension, excitement, and anticipation filled the audience. With a resounding gong, a dazzling flame shot up from the ground, streaking across the Bird's Nest and creating a brilliant halo, breaking the silence in the stadium.
The 2,008 soldiers formed a jar, and the jars resounded in unison, transforming into 2,008 points of starlight that neatly formed a giant countdown square.
As 90,000 spectators from all over the world chanted the countdown, the Olympic Games opening ceremony officially began.
The crowd inside was excited and the place turned into a sea of joy.
When the three-dimensional Olympic rings, gleaming with silver light, stood upright in the center of the venue, the whole world was stunned!
As the children loudly recited "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?", Da Ni and Yu Yang beside her couldn't help but join in and loudly recite as well.
As the beautiful scroll of China slowly unfolded, revealing the long river of China's five-thousand-year history, an ancient atmosphere filled the entire venue.
As the gymnastics prince walks in the air, soaring around the Bird's Nest on auspicious clouds, a classic Olympic scene slowly unfolds, and the Olympic flame is lit.
The actors used unique body language to portray the charm of Chinese ink painting.
The vast expanse of rivers and mountains in the "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains" and the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" vividly depict the lives of people from all walks of life. Even more impressive is the movable type printing, which was demonstrated by the concerted efforts of Chinese soldiers, showcasing their ingenious craftsmanship.
Suddenly, the sky above the Bird's Nest was as bright as day, and dazzling fireworks pierced the silent night, with a seven-colored rainbow reflected in the Beijing sky.
The only word to describe everyone's feelings at this moment is "utterly shocked".
Like many audience members, Chen Hong was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she cried like a baby!
That was really difficult!
Having experienced the information explosion of later generations, Chen Hong understands many touching stories that are unknown to others.
The earthquake disaster happened less than three months ago this year, and these extras and the directing team have had a really tough time.
Most of the group dances were performed by the lovely and strong soldiers. This is because in China, only soldiers can do these synchronized movements. Chinese soldiers are the most hardworking, the most tiring, and the most reliable!
The opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympics was full of miracles and featured the People's Liberation Army! We can always unconditionally trust the Chinese People's Liberation Army!
In her past life, she was sitting in front of the TV with her son in their simple rented room, watching the opening ceremony live.
To be able to participate in this great historical event firsthand in her lifetime is something she never dreamed of!
Four hours later, the opening ceremony concluded amidst fluttering red flags and resounding songs.
The successful hosting of this Olympic Games opening ceremony has given a resounding slap in the face to those foreign media outlets that were pessimistic about China.
Only China itself can defeat and surpass China; other countries are just making a fuss!
Since 2008, China has developed rapidly and has reached a pivotal position in the international arena.
As a modern Chinese, Chen Hong is incredibly proud!
Not only her, but even her parents, both farmers born in the 1950s, were so excited tonight that they couldn't contain their emotions.
When Chen Hong got home, it was already 3 a.m. When she got up to use the restroom, she saw that although the old man's room was dark, he was still excitedly discussing the exciting programs of the evening.
Being in such a grand and exciting scene for the first time truly overwhelmed them.
In the following days, Chen Hong led her family to watch several more competitions that everyone was interested in.
They made plans for the four major events of diving, table tennis, gymnastics, and shooting, as well as more than a dozen minor events for men and women, and watched more than a dozen Chinese teams win gold medals.
They also took the whole family to climb the Great Wall and watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square.
He also saw many sports stars in person, but unfortunately he didn't get an autograph from any of them, which made Yu Yang very disappointed.
Chen Hong comforted her son: "Son, the more attention this moment receives from all sides, the greater the security pressure on China as the host country."
For the safety of the participating athletes, it will certainly be difficult to approach them.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When sports stars aren't participating in important competitions, they also participate in social activities, which will make it easier to approach them and get their autographs.
