August 8th at 8:00 p.m.
The Olympic Games were held grandly in the National Stadium.
There was not a single empty seat in the venue, the place was bustling with people, and the outside was just as noisy with gongs and drums. Those who couldn't get in crowded on the street outside, looking at the big screen outside the mall. It seemed that if they were closer, the feeling would be different from watching TV at home.
Shen Anning sat in their seats with her parents and grandparents, followed by Shen Zixi and Shen Ziyi's sons.
"Oh, auntie, it's such a pity. Why am I only in elementary school? My uncles and uncles are all college students. They can perform on stage and be volunteers, but I can only be a spectator."
"That's right. Actually, we primary school students are also very capable and can do things. I can speak English pretty well."
The two little guys were very depressed and envious. Shen Anning touched their heads and said, "Grandma knows that you are very good elementary school students, but we are young and our height and strength are limited. Being a volunteer is also very hard. Haven't you seen that your uncles are tanned when they go home? They often have to move things and work as guides on the street in the middle of the day. It's okay. There will be many opportunities like this in the future. When you grow up and go to high school and college, our country will be richer and stronger. By then, not only the Olympics, but many other large-scale events will be held in Beijing."
Mother Shen also touched her grandson's head and said, "That's right, you and your brother are still young, and your uncles have experienced it in advance. They won't have the chance to participate in the bigger events when the time comes."
As a person from the Public Security Department, Cao Jingheng was not lucky enough to watch the opening ceremony in person when so many people suddenly flocked into the capital, including athletes from various countries and tourists from home and abroad. It was also summer vacation, so there were hundreds of thousands of more people. This posed a huge challenge to traffic and urban security.
The familiar cell phone rings.
Ana Shen pressed the answer button, "Hello."
"Wife, how's the scene? Is it lively? Did you see the third brother?"
Shen Anning took the phone in her hand and waved it, "Did you hear that? There are so many people. We are quite close to the front. It has just started. The field is full of athletes and so many volunteers are performing on the field. I don't know where your son is. Anyway, I haven't seen him yet. When I called him before entering the field, he was busy and hung up without saying a few words."
Watching the shots flashing on TV, Cao Jingheng saw his wife flash by and smiled. This front seat is quite advantageous.
"By the way, did Lao Er call you? Do you have any news about him?" The consequences of the Sichuan earthquake were beyond everyone's imagination. So far, all the search and rescue operations have not been completed. Although Lao Er is a military academy student, he will graduate next year. The school selected a group of people with good professional qualities and physical fitness to participate in the rescue, and it has been almost a month.
"He's fine. The teacher leading the team at their school is a comrade I know. Most of these students are doing technical and logistical work. After all, they have no rescue experience."
"Okay, it's time for you to have dinner on duty. Don't eat instant noodles at night like last time. If the cafeteria is out of food, go out and get a bowl of wontons. Your stomach didn't look very good during the last physical examination."
What's on TV is the joy of the whole country celebrating, and what's on the phone is the warmth of family life.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning didn't look at his cousin Peng Zhe. He didn't even have to think about it. Even though this guy was old, he still had a big mouth.
The whole world was watching the natural disaster in May, so this opening ceremony is not only an opening ceremony, but also a demonstration of the country's determination and ability to deal with disasters, and that the motherland has become strong and prosperous, and is no longer the bullied sick man many years ago.
More than ten days ago, Shen Anning's portable courtyard disappeared one morning. It was also on that day that she restarted her life.
As the host country, our country had the largest number of athletes participating in the competition at home. Their bright clothes were particularly eye-catching among the crowd. As the music sounded, one country after another entered the venue in an orderly manner, led by the volunteer ladies holding signs.
The children nearby were already shouting like crazy, each one louder than the other. Several elderly people were also extremely excited. Although they couldn't shout anymore, they were waving the glow sticks in their hands very fast.
After so many years, Shen Anning is now an old lady in her fifties. She is in good health and has a happy family. Her parents and children are by her side. She has the love of her parents and the filial piety of her children. She witnessed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and has a better and more distant future.
The venue was so hot, with tens of thousands of people cheering and clapping, light shows, fireworks shows, and performance shows, one after another. Not only were the athletes having a great time, but the audience was so excited that they could only express their excitement by shouting. In this situation, Shen Anning couldn't help but cheer along with the children beside him.
There are athletes that everyone likes and athletes with great international influence. The director will keep the camera on them for a few more seconds to allow these athletes to say hello to everyone in front of the TV.
The opening ceremony lasted until the early morning. The supermarkets and shopping malls outside were still open. The audience left in an orderly manner but their enthusiasm remained undiminished. The streets were full of people.
The children are still saying that they want to come and watch the games and athletes they want to see starting tomorrow, and it would be best if they could ask the uncles who are volunteers to help. They really want a photo and an autograph.
Shen Anning smiled and nodded, "Okay, when you get up tomorrow, you can call your uncles. This is a reasonable backdoor, and it can be approved."
On the way home, Shen Anning was driving the car. The street lights were bright and the fireworks of thousands of families were warm.
