8 August 2008 (8-8-08) is marked as an auspicious day for the Chinese as the number 8 symbolises prosperity and wealth. I think that is the main reason why China choose to have the Olympic opening on this remarkable date. Daddy and Mummy are truly amazed by the opening ceremony which was directed by the renowned director, Zhang Yimou. The performance is just as good and grand as those found in his movies.
The union between men...
The union between men...
On the night of August 8, 2008, the sound of heavy footsteps thundered across the "Bird's Nest" as colossal burning "footprints" marched in the sky along Beijing's central axis all the way through the Olympic Green to the National Stadium. As the last "footprint" lit up the sky above the National Stadium, spectators all over the world began a virtual tour of Chinese culture.
