A dazzling halo of light casts down, illuminating the ancient sundial.
In the center of the stadium, 2008 ancient Chinese percussion instruments "Fou" beat powerfully, making a soul-stirring sound.
The white lights on the fou flash in sequence to form a countdown number.
Amidst the thunderous sound of the fou, the audience shouted loudly as the numbers changed: "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1..."
Finally, the opening ceremony officially started at 20:00!
In an instant, the entire audience burst into cheers.
Under the stage, 2008 actors beat the fou and sang, chanting "It's such a joy to have friends come from far away", expressing their welcome to Olympic athletes and guests from all over the world.
Immediately afterwards, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the entire stadium was like blooming flowers.
Colorful fireworks bloomed one after another along the north-south central axis of Kyoto, showing 29 huge footprints symbolizing the 29th Olympic Games.
The footprints passed through Tiananmen Square step by step, all the way north, towards the main venue.
Finally, the huge footprints turned into stars falling all over the sky, gathered into five glittering dreamy rings, and slowly stood up, hanging in the mid-air.
There are fairies floating down around the five rings, and their names are "Feitian".
When this scene appeared, there were obviously a lot of exclamations in the audience, and many people were wondering how it was done.
Afterwards, eight flag bearers held the flag horizontally and solemnly displayed the national flag.
A seven-year-old girl sang "Ode to the Motherland". During the song, 56 children in national costumes walked around with the national flag, representing China's 56 ethnic groups and one family.
Finally, the national flag was raised and the national anthem chorus sang together. They came from 56 ethnic groups.
“What a wonderful experience!”
This scene made the audience burst into tears and burst into applause.
Finally it’s time for the most anticipated theatrical performance.
When the huge scroll on the ground slowly opened, everyone in the audience was shocked.
This huge LED screen, 147 meters long and 27 meters wide, is a long scroll showing China's five thousand years of history. The opening ceremony performance begins from here.
Picture scrolls, text, opera, silk, ritual music, starlight, nature, blue planet, dreams, every performance is shocking and classic.
All the audience were immersed in it for a long time and found it difficult to calm down.
The time came to 21:10:19, and the athletes’ entrance ceremony began.
The band took turns playing classic music from different continents, and delegations from different countries also entered one after another, and were all warmly welcomed.
Finally, at 23:09, the host delegation from China finally entered the venue.
The Chinese sports delegation has a total of 1,099 people, including 639 athletes. It is the largest number of Chinese athletes in all previous Olympic Games and is also the delegation with the largest number of athletes participating in this Olympics.
During the admission process, each athlete will leave colored footprints on the screen in the center of the stadium.
The colorful footprints and the pictures left by the artistic performances together constitute a beautiful scene of "the home of mankind".
"Hey, it's coming!"
"Where is Xiaoli?"
"Hurry up and take a good photo to see if you can find Xiaoli!"
“…”
Seeing the delegation come in, the Bai family immediately started searching nervously.
Soon, they saw Cen Li following the team. Bai Mu and Mr. Bai quickly took out their cameras to take pictures. Naturally, Bai Xuanyuan was not behind.
In their small place, the shutter sound kept ringing, which surprised the people nearby and thought they were ardent fans of some athlete.
