08.08.2008; 08:08:08PM
It was a wonderful number for Chinese...It shown 'Fatt' and 'ONG' to Chinese.
I remembered that the i went home early, be prepared everything and just for the Opening Ceremonies. It was a wonderful and perfect Opening Ceremonies compare with previous.
Thousand and thousand audiences inside the Bird Net National Stadium and million and million television audiences over the world watching live for this grand and honor opening ceremonies from Beijing, China.
How come the Beijing Olympic Game so interesting and everyone from the World so exciting? It is because this is the first time Olympic Game host by Asia country and people didn't expect China ability to host such a big event. In additional, before the Olympic games start, some bad rumors and some protest happened for this Beijing 2008 Olympic Games host country. BUT, everything were passed and China did a good job and hosted a wonderful and almost perfect Olympic Game. This also to shown to the World, Asian can; China can!!!
The Opening Ceremonies started with 2008 people standing in the centre of Bird Net National Stadium (BNNS). They were well training and quality drum players; not the ordinary drum player like what we saw during Chinese New Year; Lion Dance. In this section, they combined the oldest chinese drum with latest technology control for the light system. It shown that a good match for the oldest musical instrument and latest technology. A strong and regular drumbeat get myself stun for few seconds. And,it seem liked a widest screen on the centre of the stadium.
Besides that, China were well used of their resources - Huge number of RESIDENTS. It is easy to control with a small group of people; BUT, how about thousand and thousand people stick together and having the same performance? It is an extremely hard job for the commander. Unofficially estimation, over five thousand of chinese dancers perform together and not even have a single mistake. Can you imagine how perfect the performance?
For the flame-lighting ceremony, the last presenter flied with fired torch for lighting up the main torch which located ON the BNNS's roof area. The last presenter was lighted the main torch after flied around of the stadium.
The grand and beautiful part was located to the fire work playing. The foot steps created by the catherine wheel to the BNNS from another corner of Beijing town; meaningful program. Then the whole Beijing town covered by the fireworks and created a bridge and grand screen for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Game Opening Ceremonies...
