As a student volunteer, i had the honor to participate all the process of Beijing 2008 Olympic. I was there for the opening ceremony, and my classmates and I were so moved that we cried together. I was in charge of traffic control at the basketball arena throughout the basketball game and got to meet all the big international players in person. Looking back on it all now, I am so blessed.

Honestly London 2012 was the closest one. The sets in London was just extravagant and Grand. Pandemonium was a segment that was cold and strict that I couldn’t help but get emotional. BUT, Beijing still wins out because of how focused the entire productions are. The London ceremony was grand but it was BUSY, lots of characters and moving parts. Nothing wrong with that but Beijing is able to have ONE FOCUS by comparison. It feels…CLEANER to watch

I would just like to say, at 2:32 there is an extra block on the left that wasn’t supposed to rise raised up in an accident. And there is a beautiful story behind it. There are hundreds of thousands of movements that is unique for each block out of like a few hundred blocks. And the person controlling that block had the block broken. A screw came loose and in an interview after, he said he used his pinky to replace the screw and it bled through the rest of the performance. He claimed he did it for the country and he continued on for the rest couple thousand movements. Although a mistake, a mistake that will be hovered. And a few more notes to tell everyone: the people controlling the blocks are *SOLDIERS*. Yes, you read that right. They are the only people who have the courage to perform in font of the entire world. Also, these soldiers were wearing adult diapers since they were kept under the stage 3 HOURS before the start of the opening ceremony and lasted another 2 hours under the stage while the performance was happening. They were wearing headphones to keep on track with their movements and with half a year practicing with headphones, a lot of them got problems with their ears. Thank you to Yimou Zhang 张艺谋 for arranging the show and to everyone who participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics❤🇨🇳
