Beijing Olympic Games

The Olympic Game of Beijing 2008 were a great result for China, not only regarding sports but further. It was eye-poping. It was filled with ohos and aahs. I am so proud of China. Here's some pictures about Beijing Olympic Games.



China's brand-new National Stadium, also nicknamed Bird's Net, is packed with more than 90,000, among them are a slew of heads of states, princes and princesses, government ministers, celebrities of all walks, and IOC president, vice-presidents and members, athletes and visitors from all over the world, who all are distinguished guests of China.
The opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games held in the National Stadium started on Aug. 8, 2008.



Of course, these are more than regular square drums. The top can emit light, and so can the two sticks. When robe-clad drummers beat on them, gargantuan words and shapes appear, such as the countdown numbers and the effect of sweeping light.
At the heart of this number lies the traditional group calisthenics. But the high-tech upgrade gives it a palpable surprise: No more flipping of cards; no more human bodies forming gigantic flower petals. It is art steeped in 3,000 years of history.

The visual theme of the ceremony is laid down when a pair of scrolls, measuring 2m in diameter and 22m in height, are elevated out of the central rectangle stage. The scrolls part to reveal a traditional Chinese ink painting.
For this number, a piece of blank paper, 20m X 11m, 20mm thick and actually weighing 800 kg, is placed at the center of the ink painting and functions as a canvas where a dozen dancers use their bodies as paintbrushes. It is a modern dance with abstract movements. However, what they draw resemble clouds, mountains, rivers and the sun.

Celebrating humanity and expanding exchanges between the East and the West, but also provide a good opportunity of showing off our achievements, pushing forward reform and opening and accelerating development.The Olypic Games were celebrated in China and it has a good result. that's our dreams. chinese dreams. "One world, one dream." That's why I choose this topic.
