Ok. Now we had done our job for the opening ceremony. I'm really curious about your feeling of it. My questions are:
Do you like it?
Which part is your favorite?
Do you like the song" You and Me"?
Anyway, tell me whatever you think about it, Pleeeeeeease~!
Thanks for the coming response!

DEFINATELY the best one yet! I felt like that really raised the bar for future Opening Ceremonies! The Tai Chi was absolutely AMAZING! I also thought they did a good job combining history and art. Absolutely flawless performance!

Thanks!
It's great to hear so many positive words! Because I' m always worrying how you are going to accept this since there are so many history stuff included. It's good to know that you feel the same thing!
Thanks!

Alright, let me see.
yep, I really love the opening ceremony, even they did not give us a exact show just as it performed from all angles. Talking about my favorite part, it must be the 29 foot prints, besides the color contracts which fully present the talents of Zhang Yimou as an ex-photographer.
"You and Me" is the best theme song/ OP (can I call it theme song/OP?)I ever heard since " Hand in Hand" in 1988. But frankly, it is quiet different to sing, and I believe that is why it was by Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman.
So I'm looking forward to a much more popular version that everyone can easily sing, maybe a revised version.

Well. For hand-in-hand, it should be the best of its kind, it's almost impossible to overpass it. So I guess they just take the way less travelled. Haha.

Why did the little girl lip sync the song?
Are the Chinese female gymnasts really sixteen? Or are they cheating?

No offense Piasabird, but this is a little off topic. There are lots of posts about these two subjects already. The Opening Ceremony is what this post is about. Did you enjoy it? What did you think? Have a lovely day, and enjoy the Olympics!

I also heard the news about the lip sync stuff. I don't know it's true or not. But if you are curious about that, I suggest you believe it. At least I do. There would be a lot of reasons but i accept none of them. It's cheating.
For the gymnasts thing. I suggest you look at the Olympic official report. They have already justify their ID and there is nothing suspicious.
Anyway, thanks for you KIND response and questions.

I just liked the fireworks.It was so beautiful.
The song is so nice,but I just think it not so accepted as that song hand in hand.
Today,our country own 10 gold metals.
I am so happy about it.
