The Beijing Winter Olympics will be held at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) at 20:00 on February 4, and the general director of this opening ceremony is Zhang Yimou, who has directed the Beijing Olympic Games. According to director Zhang Yimou, this Winter Olympics will use technology and new concepts to perform, and the duration will not be as long as the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, but more like the length of a movie, and because the opening ceremony is in the Spring Festival, this element will be displayed, just like the theme slogan of the Beijing Winter Olympics, together to the future. Li Ning's flying ignition in 2008 has become a classic picture in the history of the Olympic Games. This time, Zhang Yimou said: "The way of igniting the fire and even the way of the torch stand is one of our boldest designs and changes, which has not yet appeared in the history of the 100-year Olympic Games." "In 2008, director Zhang Yimou spent nearly 4 hours to show the whole world Chinese culture and splendor, and what kind of difference and excitement he will bring to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics is exciting."
