Congratulations from all over the world.

Inside the Bird's Nest in the evening, in the golden VIP room on the second floor, more than 30 heads of state, heads of government, and representatives of the royal family came today.

The Olympics are not a conference, but a grand event, so the venue for the reception was set here, and the sofas in the hall were removed and replaced with dining tables.

When the guests entered, Fang Huai stood in the side passage of the VIP elevator at the door, and saw waves of blonde and blue-eyed or black-skinned guests walking in, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

When he was a child, he watched many TV dramas and books describing the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the Three Hundred Kingdoms at that time, and not only the Tang Dynasty, after any Chinese dynasty unified China, as long as the surrounding areas bordered, they had to pay tribute to China, and those who went to the ocean had to come to do business and study.

Of course, there are often more rewards than tributes, which also represents China's inclusiveness.

As long as you are convinced, I won't beat you and give you candy to eat.

A thousand years later, the imperial court was weak and dignified, not ashamed of the nations, and was lighter than foreign races, Hong Kong was ceded to Britain, Taiwan was ceded to Japan, and Portugal took the opportunity to colonize Macao.

Fifty-nine years ago, the new China began to bear the burden of devastation from the beginning of Vietnam, the Korean War, land reform, culture and education, independent diplomacy, and reform and opening up.

The great man's sentence "The Chinese have stood up since then" was witnessed for the first time in 59 years under the amazement of so many foreigners.

The new generation of children does not have to worry about state affairs, war, or hardship, all because the older generation has endured hardships for them.

And a small number of these children, such as him, and the young soldiers guarding outside, must continue to eat the remaining few hardships to protect most of the others and this era.

Today's scene represents a new century-old foundation.

2008 was anything but simple.

Fang Huai's eyes were like attention, and he felt that from this moment, the country officially completed the ground run and began a new decade of take-off.

……

August 8, 2008.

PM，4：20。

The major of the BJ Corps who has been leading them - I heard that he is already a lieutenant colonel, the director of the fire prevention department of the Xuanwu detachment, and the fire manager of the Bird's Nest Venue, Cao Guangwen, took off his military uniform today and put on a gray shirt, but he stood in front of everyone with an unprecedented solemn face, took out a few pills, swallowed mineral water.

Fang Huai saw him touching his heart and grinning his teeth, not once or twice.

"Hmm... Comrades. ”

Including five people in the training class, 18 cadres and 33 soldiers, they were serious and upright.

"I repeat once that the four-level fire plan, from the venue has sparks, to a fire of more than ten square meters, the fire extinguishing time corresponds to 1 minute! 3 minutes! 5 minutes! 10 minutes!

In other words, the fire extinguishing time is the slowest, that is, 10 minutes!

In more than ten minutes, the brothers from outside reinforcements will come in! Are you willing to protect the bird's nest for so many days and let others come to send reinforcements to keep it? ”

"I don't want to!"

"Good! The fire hydrants and fire extinguishers of the Bird's Nest, our monitoring, command and communication systems, are all your weapons!

Now, everyone has a full charge on the communicator, carries a spare battery, and then, after one last trip to the toilet, put this on! ”

Cao Guangwen took out a bag of things from the cardboard box beside him and shook it.

The first step of genius is diapers.

The large diapers in the blue packaging made everyone cry and laugh.

One of the warriors was a little difficult to accept, and he said:

"Cao, in fact, I can hold it back."

Cao Guangwen waved his hand:

"If you can hold it, you should keep warm! Don't be shy, when you get old, sooner or later you'll have to wear it!

It is recommended that you can still hold it back! I tried, but I could hold it, but it was a little hot in the crotch! Under the weather!

However, today, for the sake of the country, for the people, there is no shame in wearing this! ”

It's starting to zoom in again.

If you are an officer, you must learn this sentence.

"Fatherland and people".

This sentence is to let the soldiers not want BB's sealing glue, and it is also the charge to the battlefield.

Cao Guangwen cherished the time of the big move, and began to send it after speaking, and the soldiers obediently received one by one.

Then, he said solemnly and solemnly:

"Brothers! At half past four o'clock, until 12 o'clock, all the spectators leave! Seven and a half hours! You're going to have to stand a long post! This is also the most important post in your military career! Comrades, there is no confidence! ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"Good! 10 minutes of preparation time, according to their respective posts, sentry! ”

……

Hidden dangers are better than open flames, and safety is more important than Mount Tai.

Almost all of the sentry posts on duty are next to the trash cans in the grandstand passage, because after comprehensive analysis, it is believed that the biggest possibility of fire is the problem of people smoking next to the trash cans.

The five reinforced training class soldiers were all in good positions as reinforcements, and Fang Huai was even assigned to a relatively central first-floor sentry position.

Many people will have to come in and out of here.

Of course, this also includes sports stars and performance stars.

In this position, according to the ticket price of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the price ranges from 200 to 5,000, which is not a scalper premium, at least 3,000 yuan is saved.

It's just that there are no seats.

However, some cadres could only stay in the control room, and even some soldiers' posts were still in the building, for more than 7 hours, and they could only be accompanied by a brilliant and boring scenery.

…

Pm，5：30。

The middle of the venue is very lively.

A group of stars had their last rehearsal in the venue and were taken to dinner by the staff.

Liu Huan and Sun Yanzi passed by his side one after another.

Stefanie Sun in 2008 is so beautiful.

However, Fang Huai still reminded the staff who followed her with a straight face.

"Comrade, don't throw burning cigarette butts into plastic trash cans!"

"Oh... Good, good! Excuse me! ”

The staff's movements quickly stopped.

Yanzi Sun turned around, and the other party smiled apologetically.

Fang Huai smiled and nodded in return, and gave a thumbs up:

"I love your 'Believe'! Come on! ”

Yanzi Sun smiled brightly, and said with half her head sideways:

"Okay, thank you!"

…

Pm，6：20。

"All posts, the ticket inspection is about to begin, pay attention to the various entrances, to prevent stampedes, if there is any situation, report immediately, Gate 15, Gate 17, the VIP will come in from your side in a while, you must pay special attention to the surrounding situation."

Fang Huai pressed the call button: "Received at mouth 15." ”

Lin Chong's voice also came: "Received at the 17th mouth." ”

Within a few minutes, a group of people came in from Fang Huai's upstairs and sat in the space above the rostrum not far from Fang Huai's upstairs.

The area upstairs in Fang Huai is not arranged.

There, it should be the entrance area for important people.

…

Pm，6：40。

An audience began to enter.

Fortunately, there are many entrances, and Fang Huai is not the entrance of the audience, it is crowded and noisy, and he does not need to worry.

But the surroundings also began to be noisy.

"Mom! Guess where I am! ”

"That's right! I'm at BJ! I got my ticket! The Bird's Nest is particularly beautiful! Kobe Bryant is coming in a moment! I've seen their cars all the way outside! Athletes are now coming in from the Olympic Village in a car! I've seen a lot of celebrities! ”

"What? There is no Zhao Benshan! This is not the Spring Festival Gala! … Guo has no bald head! ”

"Come on, I'll see who you know and ask for an autograph!"

Fang Huai couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Benshan, I still want to see Ma Sanli!

…

Pm，7：30。

A sea of people.

More than 90,000 people sat down, and if they started at random, they could attract a large number of responses:

"Come on, China!"

"Wen C, come on!"

"Rise up!"

The roar of the mountains and tsunamis is not enough to describe the grandeur of the stadium, and the shouts of 90,000 people echoed throughout the Olympic area.

The military band of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the field was also in place, and as soon as 7:30 arrived, the baton in the field fell, and the "Welcome March" was immediately played.

Everyone's cries gradually turned into applause, and they began to applaud to the rhythm of the song.

This song is a song that will sound fifteen minutes before every video meeting, but before, Fang Huai had never felt that this song was so good.

Performance, you have to listen to the scene, the kind of echoing and colliding sound, so that the eardrums can vibrate slightly together and resonate.

The repeated performance of the military band at the scene was close to 20 minutes, which also made Fang Huai speechless.

With his eyesight, he could see that the trumpeter's face was a little red, such a bulky instrument, it would not tremble for 20 minutes, and it would be played...

The military band is also a manual work.

…

Pm，7：50。

Suddenly, a burst of loud applause and cheers suddenly rang out.

The upstairs door finally opened, and the two men in suits quickly entered the field, with fierce faces, and stood on the second floor above Fang Huai's head.

Fang Huai couldn't help but stand up a little and look sideways.

The big leader and several foreign guests of the International Olympic Committee entered the stadium with a smile, waved to the audience in the stadium, and then sat down at the table not far away.

But it's a pity that I didn't come, today's BJ, so lively, maybe the old man, is still in front of an office desktop.

The sound of the military band faded out, the cheers and cheers also sounded again, and some foreign spectators, who blew a long whistle, quickly attracted the attention of the police in the venue, but only a glance, and no one stopped this conspicuous bagging behavior.

Not to be outdone, some Chinese spectators stood up and led their compatriots on the pitch to shout slogans.

The lights are gradually going out.

A bright yellow sundial appears on a huge LED screen above the field.

There was a sudden silence around.

The flower show has begun.

The fireworks overhead were played out through the large screen around the field, and the whole field shook with thunder.

With a sound of "tracing the ground", a salute flower passed through the field and was extinguished in front of the ground.

This time, it's true.

All the firefighters in the field watched vigilantly everywhere, and Fang Huai also took two steps to observe for a while, and then pressed the call.

"Exit 15, safe."

It's being reported everywhere.

The countdown began to light up in the field, and the 2,008 fighters formed a huge screen with the drums that lit up at a glance in their hands, and counted down on the field.

Uniformly, the drums are painted.

Everyone was so excited.

What is a big scene? It's called a big scene!

“Oh my god！”

"Forty!"

"Twenty!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

Everyone counts down with the numbers on the field.

"Two!"

"One!"

Above, a huge burst of bright light began to roar, and there was no panorama to be seen here, but the colors in the sky were exceptionally beautiful.

…

The program, one by one, the crooked nuts exclaimed "amazing" and "unbilieveble" one by one, and the Chinese shouted "Niu B".

The hearts of the firefighters have been carried all the time.

Because the headphones keep reminding them to "Attention! Note! ”

With the host's English introduction, the venue was dim again.

Outside, fireworks suddenly went on and off.

The big screen in the venue suddenly lit up and began to broadcast the situation outside the venue.

One by one, big footprints came from the central axis of the capital, passed through Tiananmen Square, and arrived here step by step.

Everyone is watching the fireworks carefully, but the firefighters in the venue are raising their vigilance and watching all the fire hazards.

They are as scared as the fireworks are.

In the headphones, there was also a sound.

"Trash cans, grounds! Pay attention! Look in the area near you and see if there are any falling Mars! It's best to move the trash cans to the inner area first! There must be no open flames! ”

"Roger, receive!"

Fireworks, which lasted for a long time.

Everyone was still jubilant, only the firefighters, who were so nervous that they felt like they were about to use diapers.

Finally, the last fireworks came to an end.

"It's over, it's over!"

The sound in his ears made more than forty people who were absent-mindedly watching the show breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
