At 8 pm Beijing time on August 8, 2008, the 29th Olympic Games was grandly opened at the Bird’s Nest National Stadium.
The National Stadium (Bird’s Nest) started construction on December 24, 2003 and was completed in March 2008. It is the main stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games and is a national landmark building.
The east and west sides of the Bird’s Nest National Stadium are higher than the north and south sides to improve sightlines. Rainwater collectors are located near the stadium 24 hours a day, and after the water is purified, it flows naturally around the entire stadium. Pipes placed under the playing field collect heat to warm the stadium in winter and cool it to cool the entire stadium in summer.
There are about 91,000 spectator seats in the stadium. The shape of the stadium is like a “nest” and cradle that nurtures life, and it holds the hope of mankind for the future. The designers did not do any superfluous treatment to the venue, exposing the structure to the outside, thus forming the appearance of the building naturally.
“The heroic sing-along welcomes guests and friends from all over the world.
In the light reflected by the image of the ancient Chinese timepiece “sundial”, the rolling spring thunder swept through the canopy, resounding throughout the audience and the world.
A huge countdown number flashed on the entire surface of the can, and the audience shouted and counted down together. When the last second passed, countless fireworks rose into the sky, the streamer was bright and colorful.
In the center of the bird’s nest, in the artistic atmosphere of sound, light and fire, a magnificent scroll of Chinese culture slowly unfolds.
…
“…Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Olympic flame…”
The whole opening ceremony went to the third part. After the athletes entered the stadium, the president of the Olympic Committee made a speech, and then the national leaders announced the opening, the Olympic flag was raised, and the athletes and referees took the oath. Release the dove of peace.

The lighting of 21,880 auspicious cloud torchbearers illuminated the face of the last torchbearer sprinter, Su Zu, who won the men’s 4×100-meter relay gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics. The 200-meter silver medal and the men’s 100-meter bronze medal are the best results of Chinese athletes in the Olympic sprint event. At the same time, Su Zu later broke the men’s 100-meter record four times and won the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter double world championships twice in a row in 2005 and 2007…”
In the middle of the Bird’s Nest Stadium, a white light passed through the void and landed in the middle of the track, illuminating Su Zu’s figure.
Su Zu held the auspicious cloud torch high, ignited from the seventh torch bearer, and then around the special area, like the live camera lens and the stadium audience waved at the same time.
From Su Zu’s point of view, the auditorium with the main headlights turned off is a bit dim. He can see the staff and cameramen around him, but the auditorium can only see thousands of Dot various light sticks and cameras, etc., light up like stars.
However, although he couldn’t see all the audience seats, all the audience in the stands could see his every move. Cheers sounded simultaneously from all directions.

Although he has participated in various levels of competitions, competed in various venues, and has rehearsed and rehearsed several times before, but at this moment, he still feels that his heart is surging .
In the middle of the corner that the cameras on both sides could not capture, Su Zu saw the director’s staff making a gesture for him to prepare.
Su Zu smiled, held the torch high, and began to run slowly along the track.
It started out on the outer ring of the circular runway, and then guided the runway all the way to the middle. As he ran, a long picture scroll gradually unfolded under his feet.
He slowly ran along the scroll, gradually the fluorescence in the scroll flashed, and more and more pictures appeared.

In the rapidly flashing picture scroll, more than 20,000 torchbearers were displayed at one time without falling. Gradually, the light of the picture scroll disappeared, and Su Zu also ran this distance and appeared in the On a high platform that has already been set up.
This is the ignition point. The “Prince of Gymnastics” was already waiting there. He held a larger ignition point in both hands. Su Zu stepped forward and guided the ignition point in Li Ning’s hand. burn.

After lighting the main torch, the phoenix continued to fly, spreading its wings around the entire Bird’s Nest Stadium.

This is the creation of the fantasy technology of light and shadow, the crystallization of the imagination of the organizer’s director team, and the embodiment of unparalleled creativity.
