The two details of the opening ceremony show the determination to safeguard the reunification of the motherland!
Last night, after 14 years, the Olympic flame was once again lit at the National Sports Center in Beijing. Immersed in the scene, deeply shocked and excited.
Compared with the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, which lasted 4 hours and had 15,000 actors, the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics was greatly streamlined, with a total of about two hours and 20 minutes, 3,000 actors, and 10% of the fireworks displayed in 2008, reflecting the principle of "simplicity, safety and wonderfulness".
In early December, the United States announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics under the pretext of China's continued "genocide and crimes against humanity" in Xinjiang and other alleged repression of human rights. The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and other countries followed suit, and Although Japan, Denmark and the Netherlands did not express diplomatic resistance, they did not send government delegations to attend.
The opening ceremony specially arranged for Uyghur athlete Diniger Yilamujiang and Han athlete Zhao Jiawen to join hands to send the torch to the main torch platform in the shape of snowflakes composed of "Chinese knots". Diniger Yilamujiang will represent China in cross-country skiing at the Winter Olympics; Zhao Jiawen is the first Chinese athlete to qualify for the Nordic biathlon.
Three representatives from the mainland's Taiwan Province entered the stadium under the name "Chinese Taipei" at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, after Japan and before Hong Kong. At the opening ceremony, I heard what the broadcast called "Chinese Taipei". Later, I heard that the CCTV anchor called it "Chinese Taipei" when he explained. Some scholars believe that this is the mainland's practice of "distinguishing between inside and outside the country," which reflects that the mainland and Taiwan take what they need; they respect the rules of the game of the International Olympic Games externally, and they also defend their views on sovereignty internally.
In fact, whether it is Uyghur athletes working hand in hand with Han athletes, or the names of "China" and "China", they all reflect the mainland's will and determination to safeguard the reunification and territorial integrity of the motherland. The more the United States and other Western countries suppress China, the stronger this will and determination will become, and perhaps, it will also prompt the mainland And Taiwan to return to the embrace of the motherland at an early date!
