On May 11, the ceremony of lighting the flame of the Paris Olympics was thrilling, with a feeling of "laughing and crying", which was simply the beginning of a sitcom, and the eyes of the world were focused on this small piece of land in France.
The atmosphere was as hot as a pot of boiling water, and the audience's enthusiasm was so high that it broke through the sky.
The delegations were like a group of bouncing elves, dancing with excitement, because they knew that it was time to send an important message, that is, this will be the battlefield of the Olympic Games, the stage of dreams, and the palace of glory.
However, at this moment of high spirits, the French torchbearer Ophelia ascended the altar, holding the torch in her hand as if it were a torch to lead her dreams.
Everyone held their breath in anticipation of the lighting of the flame, a symbol of peace, friendship and unity.
However, tragedy happened here!
Ophelia seemed to be overwhelmed by these expectant looks, and as a result, the torch slipped out of her hand as if she were joking!
The applause of the audience suddenly turned into a cry of confusion, as if asking, "What's going on?" ”
Imagine that our torchbearer, Ophelia, is like the resolute hero in the movie, with a heart full of ambition and ready to light the flame of passion for the whole world.
But!
When she is confronted with the stubborn stove that is dead and alive, the situation is like one of those thorny problems in our lives: trying to solve them, but always unable to solve them.
This technical glitch is just like those procrastinations, always coming tricky and rushing!
Ophelia's expression was like that of a startled little squirrel, looking around with a look of chagrin, as if looking for something that would help her.
And the host in the audience also shouted anxiously: "Come on!" One more time! ”
I looked at her and said, "Please, don't make a fuss, it's the Olympics!" ”
Poor Ophelia could only rub the fire desperately, trying to light it, but the fire didn't buy it at all, it was like playing hide and seek with her.
Fortunately, in the end, it was a small burner failure that gave this tragicomedy an embarrassing ending.
The staff had to hurriedly replace it with a new burner, and the flame was barely lit.
It's as if there was a small episode at the beginning of a movie, and the plot was able to continue.
The episode of the lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame at the Paris Olympics also reminds people of a series of European and American blockbuster-level mistakes such as the collapse of the Baltimore Bridge in the United States and the arson of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris last year.
Last year's Baltimore Bridge incident in the United States was nothing short of a "massive explosion", and the once majestic bridge that spanned the city of Baltimore was a source of pride and a symbol of the city.
But one day, a freighter actually went on a rampage on the river, and the bridge was like a fat man who couldn't swim and was knocked to the ground, and finally fell completely!
The whole city was stunned, it was a blockbuster-level explosion, thrilling, thrilling!
And the arson incident at Notre Dame Cathedral is also a drama of "flames".
That ancient church has stood on the banks of the Seine for more than 800 years and is the sustenance of the faith and heart of the French people.
However, on a dark night, a mysterious figure actually set a fire in the church, and the flames rose to the sky, and Notre-Dame was like a huge torch that lit up the entire night sky.
This fire not only destroyed countless art treasures, but also burned the hearts of the French people!
These frequent mistakes seem to be the banter of European and American blockbusters, but they are actually a serious wake-up call in real life.
The Paris Olympics, as a global sporting event, may be a way for us to re-examine the relationship between mistakes and tolerance.
Although the opening mistake was a bit embarrassing, we can't be discouraged, let alone negate the excitement of the entire Paris Olympics because of a small episode!
Friends, have you ever wondered why some people are so picky? For example, those countries in Europe and the United States are generally quite tolerant and generous in their own affairs, but when they arrive in countries like China, Brazil, and India, they begin to pick and choose, looking like a picky ghost.
What is this? Why do we have such a high tolerance rate for mistakes, but we are so demanding on others? Isn't this a typical double standard? This has to make people murmur in their hearts: "Lao Tie, what's going on?" ”
So, the question is, what is the key to solving this? First of all, our Paris Olympic Organizing Committee has to put the technology in order and stop making such "jokes" to make trouble.
Don't say it, tinker with it, fix the stove, and the next time the flame is lit, don't make any mistakes, or you will be laughed at by the "little friends" around the world for the rest of your life!
Secondly, our global family has to unify the standards, stop playing the trick of double standards, and be fair to each country, otherwise the whole earth will be tossed upside down!
Only when we all work together can we promote international cooperation and make the world a better place.
Also, the media and the public have to stand up!
The media should be forceful, not just taking sides, but reporting the facts objectively and fairly, otherwise public opinion will be a scourge.
The public has to be a little responsible, doesn't that mean you have a lot of power? We have to work together to make this world a better place!
Just like the stories I just told you, life is a blockbuster-level comedy, and although it sometimes makes us laugh and cry, this is also its unique charm!
We can't negate the value of the Olympics just because of a small episode, right?
There are different opinions and comments on the technical glitches that occurred at the ignition ceremony at Paris 2024 and the series of reflections that it triggered.
On the one hand, the incident sparked widespread attention and ridicule as an embarrassing "joke"; On the other hand, some people think about it from a deeper level, believing that this reflects some problems in the handling of problems and international affairs in European and American societies.
In the aftermath of the technical glitch, many focused their attention on the torchbearer Ophelia.
As a torchbearer, she represented a spirit and responsibility, but she was unable to light the flame due to technical problems, causing a wave of embarrassment and resentment.
Some saw the incident as a failure, criticizing and questioning the organizers and those responsible, believing that they had made mistakes in their preparations, which affected the image and reputation of the entire event.
So, let's laugh at setbacks and share the Olympic spirit!
As a popular slogan goes: "Rush forward!" ”
Let's cheer for the Paris Olympics and praise the spirit of sportsmanship!
