Recently, the Hangzhou Asian Games has become a talking point after tea, and the opening ceremony of the Asian Games is even more magnificent.
However, in the midst of this well-planned feast, it is inevitable that there will be some episodes and mistakes.
"It would be perfect if you avoided the opening ceremony, after all, some mistakes in the opening ceremony can be regarded as serious mistakes!"
However, these mistakes in the Asian Games have also caused people to think deeply...
Helplessness under light failure
I believe that many audiences have found that in the water drum performance of the opening ceremony, many water drum lights are not lit.
This causes a good stage to look uneven, greatly reducing the beauty of the dance and destroying the integrity of the stage.
Some netizens said: "For such a big event, you must do a good check in front before appearing to ensure that everything is foolproof." ”
However, this setback did not destroy the tenacity and professionalism of the actors.
They still performed hard in the dim light, showing superb performance skills and excellent adaptability.
Not only that, but there are also actors who face challenges on slippery venues.
In the performance of shooting the ball, the slippery field after the rain and the water stains on the ball caused additional difficulty for the actors.
However, in the face of difficulties, the actors still performed hard and did not stop.
At this moment, this sudden accident is not only a severe test for the actors, but also a portrayal of their indomitable spirit, and also proves the unique spirit of our country not to admit defeat and not admit defeat.
In addition, there is also a controversial link is the oath.
Language errors
As the host of the Asian Games, the Chinese athletes chose English when taking the oath, which could not help but puzzle the audience.
The decision seems to go against the national language traditions of international sports provincial capitals and sparked controversy.
"In the past, it was all Chinese oaths, but this year it became English, can't you understand, can't you Chinese speak?"
But in fact, there is a certain meaning behind this decision.
Although Chinese is the traditional language of China, the current international language is still English.
Moreover, as the host, the mainland has to take care of the hearts of all the players, so after the decision, it is still in English to take the oath.
However, this incident also brings us reflection.
"How can Chinese be promoted and carried forward, and it can also become an international common language?"
Wouldn't it be better to hope that one day, Chinese can also be used by the whole world, so that no matter which country takes the oath, it will consider Chinese?
In addition to the first two, another issue that the audience is more concerned about is the change of the order of delegation.
Order of admission: a collision of tradition and international rules
At the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the order of admission of each country's delegations was determined by the number of strokes in the first Chinese character of their country's Chinese name.
This year's Hangzhou Asian Games abandoned this tradition and made some minor adjustments.
The order of admission of the delegation this time was actually arranged in the order of the first letter of the English name, which made countless viewers complain: there is nothing new at all!
After all, this change will make people think that they have lost the uniqueness of traditional Chinese culture.
But then again, if you sort in a unique way that Chinese, it will definitely be incomprehensible to foreigners.
In fact, you can think of a compromise solution, but no matter which plan, the state must be carefully considered, so we respect the decision of the state!
In addition, there is a small mistake, I don't know if the audience can see it.
When the Taiwanese delegation entered, "Chinese Taipei" was displayed on the big screen instead of "Chinese Taipei."
Just when the audience was thinking about whether they could change "Chinese Taipei" to "Chinese Taipei" on the screen, the on-site commentator was the first to discover this detail, and immediately called the Taiwan Provincial Team with the words "Chinese Taipei".
As soon as these words came out, it also made thousands of people present feel extremely excited.
I have to say that the host's reaction ability is also quite fast!
It is believed that in the near future, "Chinese Taipei" will eventually become the "Chinese Taiwan delegation".
And the Tajik delegation also had a little episode when it entered.
Delegation of Tajikistan
When the athletes of the Tajikistan delegation made their appearance, the atmosphere had reached a climax.
The athletes were immersed in interacting with the spectator, resulting in staying on the main aisle for too long, almost disrupting the rhythm of the entire opening ceremony.
After all, every minute and second of such a large-scale event is calculated, and if something goes wrong in any place, it is necessary to find it from elsewhere.
Fortunately, with the reminder of volunteers, it did not cause a disaster.
This accident also made us pay attention to the humble work at the meeting - volunteers.
They have proved that maintaining order is also an important job.
It can be seen who is missing from this Asian Games, and whether such a grand opening ceremony can be completed!
summary
Although the opening ceremony of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games has achieved some creative success, it is not denied that there are still certain mistakes and regrets.
As the saying goes, there is mistake to make progress, and on such a big occasion, we can only try to be perfect.
Fortunately, we can skillfully resolve these mistakes, which contain China's unique spirit of great power and unity!
