Four programs
What going on Beijing Winter Olympic Games?
The first program is the countdown to the twenty-four Chinese solar terms. Spring is the beginning of Chinese lunar new year. The opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games coincides with the first day of the 24 solar terms – spring. The countdown performance is entitled “spring”: children blow away dandelions, white seeds fly into the air, and the fireworks appear over the sky of the bird’s nest stadium.
The second program is to hand down the Chinese national flag from hands to hands. The people who pass the flags are the ordinary people being chosen from the whole country to represent all 56 Chinese nationalities.
The third program is the water of the Yellow River pouring down from the sky. You can see a drop of ice blue ink falling from the sky, turning into the Yellow River, and pours down widely. The artistic conception is originated from the ancient Chinese poem “the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky”.
The fourth program is the “five snow freezing rings” logo breaking through the crystal ice. There are six ice hockey players interacting with video screen. The creative idea is to let the ice hockey repeatedly heat the wall of the ice cube, then starting the process of “ice breaking”, gradually appearing the large logo, crystal clear ice and snow five rings. It represents one Chinese image, “ice breaking” means to break through the tough situation, to try to resolve some contradictions, to approach further understanding in the international communities. At the end of the opening ceremony, there are 44 Chinese children singing the Olympic Anthem in Greek, which shows Chinese people love the peace and willing to be cooperative with other nations.
