On August 8, 2008, at 8 p.m. Beijing time, the 29th Olympic Games 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, which is the main stadium of the 2008 Olympic Games and is a national landmark.

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 24 hours a day near the stadium and after the water is purified, it naturally flows around the stadium. Pipes placed underneath the playing field collect heat in the winter to warm the stadium and cool down in the summer to cool the entire stadium.

With about 91,000 spectator seats, the stadium is shaped like a "nest" and cradle that nurtures life, and holds the hope of mankind for the future. The designers did not do anything superfluous with this venue, leaving the structure exposed, thus creating a natural appearance of the building.

At night, the Bird's Nest National Stadium was full, and 2,008 performers in the middle of the stadium sang and sang, forming a grand and solemn array, welcoming guests from all over the world with the heroic song of "friends come from afar, and they are happy".

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

The whole curtain flashed a huge countdown number, and the audience shouted the countdown together, when the last second passed, countless fireworks rose into the air and bloomed, with brilliant lights and thousands of purples and reds.

In the center of the Bird's Nest, in the artistic atmosphere set off by sound, light and fire, a magnificent scroll of Chinese culture is slowly unfolding.

……

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

In the third part of the opening ceremony, after the athletes entered, the President of the Olympic Committee delivered a speech, then the national leaders announced the opening, the Olympic flag was raised, the athletes and referees took the oath and the doves of peace were released.

The solemn radio sound at the conference was heard.

The voices of the two hosts broadcast by CCTV were transmitted to thousands of households through the TV at the same time:

“…… In the midst of all the antiquity, the Olympic flame began to enter, and the first torchbearer to enter the venue was Xu Haifeng, a famous Chinese shooting athlete coach...... At the same time, it is also the first gold medal in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games, achieving a breakthrough of zero in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games......

Xu Haifeng lit the torch in the hands of diver Gao Min, who became the winner of China's first gold medal in springboard diving...... The third torchbearer was gymnast Li Xiaoshuang...... Li Xiaoshuang became the first athlete to win the gold medal in the individual all-around...... The fourth torchbearer was weightweight athlete Zhan Xugang, who broke the world record nine times...... The fifth torchbearer, Zhang Jun, and Gao Lin won back-to-back mixed doubles gold medals in 2000 and 2004, while the sixth torchbearer, Chen Zhong, won the women's 67kg taekwondo gold medal at Sydney 2000, which he won again in 2004......

Serving as the seventh torchbearer tonight was volleyball player Sun Jinfang...... She and all the athletes fought tenaciously to win the first world championship of our women's volleyball team, and achieved three consecutive championships Chinese in the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games......

The lighting of 21,880 auspicious cloud torchbearers illuminated the face of the last torchbearer, Su Zu, who won the gold medal in the men's 4×100m relay, the silver medal in the men's 200m and the bronze medal in the men's 100m at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, which is the best result of a Chinese athlete in the Olympic sprint event. At the same time, Su Zuhou broke the men's 100m record four times, and won the men's 100m and 200m double championship at the World Championships in 2005 and 2007 for two consecutive years......"

In the middle of the Bird's Nest Stadium, a white light passed through the void and landed in the middle of the runway, illuminating Su Zu's figure.

Su Zu held the auspicious cloud torch high and lit it from the seventh torchbearer, and then around the special project, like the live camera and the audience in the stadium waved at the same time.

From Su Zu's point of view, the auditorium with the main headlights turned off was a little dim, and he could see the staff and videographers around him, but the auditorium could only see thousands of glow sticks and cameras lit up like stars.

However, although he could not see all the spectators, all the spectators in the stands could see his every move, and after he raised the torch, the tsunami-like cheers rang out from all directions at the same time.

Su Zu took a light breath and held the torch high in his hand, he knew very well that at this moment, there were hundreds of millions of eyes around the world watching his every move.

Although he had participated in various competitions, competed in various arenas, and had rehearsed and rehearsed several times before, he still felt his heart surging when it came to this moment.

In the middle of the corner where the cameras on both sides couldn't be captured, Su Zu saw the gestures of the director team staff to prepare him.

Su Zu smiled, held the torch high, and began to run slowly along the runway.

At first, it was in the outer circle of the circular runway, and then it was guided all the way to the middle of the runway. As he ran, a long picture gradually unfolded under his feet.

He slowly ran along the scroll, and gradually the fluorescent light in the scroll flickered, and more and more pictures appeared.

It was the first torchbearer to light the torch from Greece, the first time the Greek president attended the torch-lighting ceremony at an Olympic Games outside his home country (outside of the 2004 Summer Olympics), followed by the second host country, Luo Xuejuan, the famous Chinese breaststroker, then the third, then the fourth...... More and more people are appearing in the picture.

The torch relay was carried in 19 overseas cities, and many well-known classics from China and abroad also appeared in the picture scroll, such as the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia, the British Museum in London, the Eiffel Tower in France, the Red Fort in New Delhi, India, the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Insadong in Seoul and so on.

Then they went to the territory, from the southernmost end of the world, to the northern frontier, from the Pamir Plateau in the western border to the coast of the East China Sea, everywhere they went, they were filled with the smiling faces of athletes, bringing the concept of "Green Olympics, Science and Technology Olympics, and Humanistic Olympics" of the 2008 Olympic Games to all parts of the country.

In the rapidly flashing picture scroll, more than 20,000 torchbearers showed up one by one, and gradually the bright light of the picture scroll dissipated, and Su Zu also ran this distance and appeared on a high platform that had already been erected.

This is the ignition point, the "Prince of Gymnastics" has already been waiting there, he is holding a larger ignition point with both hands, Su Zu stepped forward and ignited the ignition point in Li Ning's hand.

At this time, the lights of the whole audience suddenly dimmed, and in the darkness, a flying "phoenix" suddenly appeared, and the flying phoenix gently picked up the fire point in Li Ning's hand with its mouth, and then flew to the main cauldron.

After lighting the cauldron, the phoenix spreads its wings and continues to fly, stretching its wings around the entire Bird's Nest stadium.

At this moment, whether it was in front of the TV or the audience who saw the phoenix ignition picture for the first time, they were all dumbfounded and shocked beyond words.

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

The phoenix that appeared in everyone's sight continued to fly, burning, until it finally soared into the sky and gradually disappeared.

The lights in the venue were back on, and everyone woke up like a dream.

The overwhelming applause resounded throughout the world.

The 2008 Olympics have begun!
