Chapter 320 Opening

2008 year 8 month 8 day,
Today is the opening day of the No.20 Ninth Olympic Games, and it is now in the Bird's Nest National Stadium.

7:[-] p.m. Yanjing time,

"Uncle, Aunt, this is audience coaching."

In the auditorium, Lin Wenyue was next to Lin's mother, and moved closer to explain the current situation to the two elders.

After an early dinner, they also prepared some dry food and drinks to fill their stomachs. At 5:[-] in the afternoon, Lin Wenyue brought the second elder to the scene.

After watching the prelude performance for more than an hour, until just 1 o'clock, the stadium staff and volunteers began to guide the audience on some procedures that required attention and cooperation.

"The counseling you are talking about is teaching us where to applaud, where to cooperate, where to shout, and where not to quarrel, right?"

Father Lin frowned, pondered for a while, and expressed his understanding in the simplest terms.

"Yes, uncle, if there are so many people, if they still act according to their own ideas, it may be chaotic. Some atmosphere may not be aroused."

Lin Wenyue smiled and agreed.

"Yeah, there are really a lot of people. Is this 8 people?"

Lin's father and Lin's mother thought about it hard, and it seemed that they had never encountered such a situation where tens of thousands of people gathered together.

"The full quota is 9, plus the staff and some volunteers and support staff in the venue, that's even more..."

In order to better accompany the two of them, Lin Wenyue had learned about the relevant situation early on. She even found out the size and facilities of the current Bird's Nest National Stadium.

This will stop here, and she happened to introduce the ins and outs of the stadium.

Lin's father and Lin's mother smacked their lips from time to time. Although there are many technologies, they don't know much about modernization.But just from this area and this very unique shape, they already feel confused.

"It's about to start later, right? Can you see Er... Lin Mu?"

She moved her body to let herself move a little bit, Mother Lin asked with concern.They have been sitting there for almost two hours, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The performance looked beautiful, but it was really long.

"Yes, but it's going to be late, uncle and aunt, if you're tired, I'll take you to rest later."

"It's not late and I'm not tired. We usually sleep quite late, so just keep watching."

As soon as they heard that there must be, they were also refreshed, and it was okay to be late.

"uncle……"

Let me introduce the situation and chat a few more gossips. Time flies.

At 7:50 pm, the audience in the stadium, led by ushers from all over the place, applauded enthusiastically.

Under the night, the brightly lit Bird's Nest National Stadium was full of seats.

In the applause of the audience and the joyful background music.

"it is good!"

With a muffled cry, Father Lin clapped his hands vigorously. He seemed a little excited.

It was a little exciting to see him there.Although it is quite far away, it is the scene after all.

Amid thunderous applause, the stadium lights dimmed.

A flame fell from the sky and hit the ground. A dazzling halo shot out and illuminated an ancient sundial in the center of the stadium.The sundial is soft and thick, symbolizing the bright light of civilization spreading in all directions.

Under the brilliance, in the center of the stadium, with a powerful blow, the 2008 Chinese ancient percussion instruments made a soul-stirring sound.Groups of light and dark flowed together, the audience burst into cheers, and the atmosphere continued to rise.

"It's so beautiful. I've seen that drum before. I didn't expect so many to come together. It's very...very...!"

With the "big troop" applauding from time to time, Father Lin's mood gradually became a little higher.

"It's beautiful and sounds good!"

Lin Wenyue responded with a smile, but she didn't explain to the elders that it was a fou, not a drum.

Although she grew up in Malaysia since she was a child, she has always been educated in Chinese culture because of her parents, and he often returns to China during vacations.She has learned a lot of Chinese things, and what she hears and sees now can be found in her memory.

But so many of them came together to produce a soul-shaking sound that still made her feel a little bit excited in a different way.Whether it's a drum or a fou, it doesn't seem to matter.All you need to know is that this voice that penetrates the soul is the voice of the nation.

“10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1……”

The white lights flash one by one to form countdown numbers.

One sound at a time, in the thunderous beating of the fou, the audience was no longer shy at the moment, and shouted loudly as the numbers changed. 2008.

The time is 20 o'clock in the evening.

Countless fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed, shining brightly and colorfully.

In the light reflected by the image of the ancient Chinese timepiece "sundial", the rolling spring thunder swept through the fou array in an instant, resounding throughout the entire venue and throughout the world.

"Have friends come from afar!"

In the center of the venue, [-] performers beat the fou and sang, forming a grand and solemn fou formation, welcoming guests and friends from all over the world with sonorous and heroic songs.

The 29th Olympic Games, Huaxia Yanjing, welcome you!
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, how resounding is the song of victory!"

"Sing to our dear motherland, from now on we will be prosperous and strong!"

Amidst the crisp, immature but deeply affectionate singing of the motherland, eight flag bearers held the flag horizontally and grandly displayed the national flag. Fifty-six children in national costumes walked around the national flag.

"Raise the national flag of the People's Republic of China and sing the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

The flag-raiser hoisted the national flag, and hundreds of national choirs composed of actors from 56 nationalities sang loudly.In front of people all over the world, the national anthem is played loudly!

In the center of the Bird's Nest, in the artistic atmosphere enhanced by sound, light and electric fire, a magnificent scroll of Chinese culture slowly unfolds...

Amidst the warm applause of more than 9 spectators throughout the process, and the sonorous slogans of tens of thousands of people shouting "Come on, China", the grand opening ceremony began.

A pair of pictures symbolizing the brilliant civilization flashed by, and the enthusiasm of the audience was ignited again and again. The tens of thousands of people present, and hundreds of millions of people across the country, no matter whether the original concept was clear or not, they couldn't help but feel the homeland, the country, and the country at this moment. Civilization, honor, splendor.

"Where is it? There are too many people, I can't see clearly!"

After calming down his excitement, Father Lin asked anxiously as he stared at the hundreds of people entering the arena.

A few hours passed, with theatrical performances, theme songs, and the entrance of the delegation. Their mood was always filled with excitement and excitement.Until 11 o'clock in the evening, when they saw a tall man entering the field holding a national flag, they knew that this was their country's team.

They searched very hard, but they couldn't find it. Their heads were sweating, and they didn't know if it was hot or anxious.

"Maybe I'm here, or come out later, uncle and aunt, Lin Mu didn't say anything, keep it a secret."

Lin Wenyue also searched hard, but to no avail.

There were indeed a lot of people, thousands of people walking together. At first glance, they were all red, yellow, and white, and she couldn't tell them clearly.

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"..."

While they were searching, the audience applauded and cheered continuously, and the shouts of "Come on Huaxia" resounded over the stadium.

"Huaxia, come on!"

Don't look for it anymore, Father Lin didn't "struggle" anymore, he must be there anyway, just shout!

"... Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Olympic Flame..."

Athletes entered the stadium, leaders from all walks of life gave speeches, the Olympic flag was raised, athletes and referee representatives took oaths, and doves of peace were released into the sky.

At this time, a solemn voice came out from the live broadcast of the conference.

"...The Olympic torch began to enter the arena. The first torchbearer who entered the venue was Xu Haifeng... He is a famous shooter and coach in China. He won the gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games in the 50-meter slow-shooting pistol. The breakthrough of zero gold medals in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games, a new chapter in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games has been opened since then..."

Xu Fenghai, who was already seriously fattened, with a three-point smile and seven-point solemnity, jogged across the track with the torch held high, and ran in front of the next person calmly.

The torch relay, the second torch is lit.

"...The second torchbearer, Gao Min, is a famous Chinese diver, the winner of the women's three-meter springboard gold medal in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and the first gold medalist in springboard diving in China..."

One torchbearer ran across the runway and passed it to the next.The on-site announcer solemnly introduced the situation of each athlete. They are all outstanding representatives of athletes with pioneering and creative significance in each event in the history of China's Olympic Games.

Along with the on-site introduction, the cameras all over the venue also passed the signal to transmit the picture and sound to every corner of the world.

The third torchbearer, Li Xiaoshuang, male gymnast, the only men's gymnastics gold medal in the 1992 Olympic Games, the individual all-around Olympic gold medalist in the 1996 Olympic Games, and the first individual all-around Olympic champion in China...

The fourth torchbearer, Zhan Xugang, is a male weightlifter who has broken the world record nine times. He is the first Chinese weightlifter to win two consecutive Olympic champions...

The fifth torchbearer, Chen Zhong, is a female taekwondo athlete, a gold medalist in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, a gold medalist in the women's category over 67 kg, and successfully defended her title at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. She is China's first heavyweight taekwondo Olympic champion...

The sixth torchbearer, Sun Jinfang, a women's volleyball player, the main player of the women's volleyball team during the three-year championship period, the leader of the women's volleyball team, and an outstanding representative of the spirit of the women's volleyball team...

The seventh torchbearer...

When Sun Jinfang jogged to the next torchbearer, the torch was lightly touched and lit.When the lights in the audience were focused, there was another burst of cheers and shouts.

"Ah, second son!"

In the stands, Lin's father and Lin's mother suddenly cheered, and their excitement made them forget the address they had been deliberately changing.The nickname blurted out.

"This is my son, this is my son!"

Father Lin's shouting left and right received kind smiles from the people around him. There is no need to worry about whether it is right or not. The people on the scene are the most real.

"It's Lin Mu~"

Lin Wenyue's excited mood could not be calmed down. She kept everything secret beforehand, and she didn't bother to ask.Just when the delegation entered the arena, she didn't seem to be among them. She had thought that it might be the torchbearer, but she didn't expect to be one of the last few people.Being able to appear in it has not only practical significance, but also symbolic significance.

Looking at the jogging figure with affectionate eyes, she was proud of Lin Mu!
"...the seventh torchbearer, Lin Mu, is a famous Chinese men's sprinter and coach, the gold medalist of the men's 2004-meter race in the 400 Athens Olympics, and the first Chinese Olympic champion in track and field sprinting.

As a coach, he led the team to win the gold medal in the men's 2004*4m relay at the 100 Athens Olympics.He is the first Chinese in China to win the Olympic gold medal in the same Olympic Games as both an athlete and a coach, opening up a new glorious inheritance for China's track and field sprint event..."

In the middle of the Bird's Nest Stadium, a white light passed through the void, and all the lights focused on Lin Mu.He held the torch aloft with a solemn expression.

It was so dark in the stands that he couldn't see clearly, but when he raised the torch, the cheers like a tsunami from all directions made him feel excited instantly.

He knows, there, there, and there, just like many people who work hard for the country in silence, working silently without showing up.

The opening ceremony has been going on for several hours, and like all the audience at the scene, his mood has been rising and falling.

A quick glance on TV in his previous life, patronizing and excited, he can't remember some of the content clearly.He didn't know if it was the same as it used to be.

After careful comparison once or twice, he gave up and continued the comparison. Everything that was different seemed unimportant.

"Huaxia, come on!"

"Huaxia, come on!"

"..."

Yes, this is the voice, gradually becoming more and more passionate and loud.

Let everyone who shouted at the top of their voices be able to shout out "Huaxia, come on!"

Lin Mu took a deep breath and held the torch high in his hand. He knew that at this moment, billions of eyes around the world were watching his every move.

He had rehearsed and rehearsed several times before, and simulated some scenes, but at this moment, there were countless shouts from the bottom of his heart, and he still felt that his heart was instantly filled with fiery emotions.

This is our China!

In the middle of the corner where the cameras on both sides couldn't capture, the staff of the director's team gave him a gesture of preparation.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu held the torch high and started running slowly along the track.

Run across the outer circle of the circular runway, and then follow the guidance all the way to the middle position slowly.

As he ran, a long picture gradually unfolded beneath his feet.

He slowly ran along the scroll, and gradually the fluorescent light in the scroll flickered, and a series of beating and flowing pictures flashed by.

From Olympia, the collection of the torch, and the torch relay, the first torchbearer appeared, followed by Luo Xuejuan, a famous female swimmer representing Huaxia in the second, and then the third, fourth, fifth...

The flow of pictures is very fast, 19 foreign cities, 116 domestic cities and regions, countless famous urban buildings and historical sites at home and abroad, the process of the torch relay is displayed in front of the world one by one.

Gradually, the light of the picture scroll became darker and dimmed, and then disappeared. Lin Mu also ran this distance, followed the guidance, and ran to a high platform that had already been set up.

With a light touch, the torch in the hands of the famous gymnast Li Ning who was waiting here was lit, and Lin Mu completed his relay ceremony.

Ignition, jogging, delivery, very simple procedures, Lin Mu did not relax at all, until now that his mission was completed, he was slightly relieved.

Looking at Li Ning holding the torch high and "flying into the sky" from a distance, he ran vigorously and rushed to the sky on the slowly unfolding scroll of Chinese civilization.

Light the fuse, the flame goes up, and the flame is lit!

The cheers of the audience lasted for a long time!

Years of careful preparation, a perfect display of civilization, achievements and inheritance, this is a moment destined to be unforgettable for all Chinese people, and it is also another glorious moment of the modern Olympic movement.

History, meaning, honor, and glory will be temporarily put aside at this moment.

Carry on the past and open up the future, bear a heavy burden, take solid steps, and forge ahead towards the next stage of the journey, starting from this moment!
Lin Mu's heart gradually calmed down.
