On the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the National Day of the People's Republic of China, the Dubai World Expo, which has been postponed for one year, was also unveiled as scheduled. Last night (September 30), the opening ceremony of the Dubai World Expo was staged in a shocking way, which is believed to have left a deep impression on many viewers. CCTV, as the official cooperative media of the Dubai World Expo, also broadcast the whole process of the opening ceremony live on its platform, so that even domestic audiences can enjoy the event in the first time.

Previously, based on the epidemic situation and financial factors, I personally did not really look at how high the completion of the Dubai World Expo could be, after all, the Tokyo Olympic Games have been crippled by these two factors, but the wonderful appearance of the opening ceremony of the Dubai World Expo obviously dispelled my doubts, and the design and performance of the whole event showed a very high level, without hitting the face of the local tycoons.
The opening scene was attended by emirates flight attendants, the top sponsor of the Expo, welcoming visitors into the Expo in the languages of different countries.
The most impressive of the speakers was sheikh Nahayan Bin Mobarak Al Nahayan, minister of tolerance of the United Arab Emirates, who was not only handsome and temperamental, but also took off the script and was domineering, leaving the officials of the International Bureau of Exhibitions several streets after speaking.
Hailed as the world's most handsome member of the royal family, Dubai's super popular Crown Prince Hamdan also spoke at the opening ceremony, although it was rare, but it was enough to attract people's attention.
There was a frequent appearance of a little Arab girl in the opening ceremony, throughout the show, and it was rumored that she was a princess of the Uae. (Unconfirmed, someone who understands can point it out in the comment area)
The opening ceremony of expo Dubai was held at al Wasl Dome, the iconic main venue of the Expo Park, which featured a huge circular dome combined with laser projection technology to transform into the world's largest 360-degree projection screen, combined with the performance, to show exquisite visual effects.
After the welcome song, children dance, acrobats spin on stilts, giant oysters fill the main stage, pigeons, falcons, clouds, flowers, waterfalls unfold as projections unfold, blue whales float in the sky, giant butterflies scatter across the dome, and a young girl walks with the official golden logo of The Dubai Expo towards a future that connects all of humanity.
Accompanied by the music of an all-female orchestra, the whole performance brings calm and peace after the excitement, symbolizing the oasis of hope to which the world is running after a fierce battle against the epidemic.
It has to be said that the use of sound and light technology and artistic design of the opening ceremony have world-class standards, which is the most impressive part of the opening ceremony. Seeing these beautiful, dreamlike scenes, I believe that everyone will be attracted to it. Friends who have bought tickets may also be able to witness such effects in the process of participating in the World Expo.
In order to highlight the diversity of talents and cultural inclusion of the Expo, the performers of the evening came from 64 different countries, and the special guest lineup was strong. One of the most Chinese must be the pianist Lang Lang. His extremely tense (biao) emotion (qing) performance (guan) out (li) has left a deep impression and is really a national pride.
The other two international big names are the famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, who is also an old friend of the World Expo and sang at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and the 2015 Milan World Expo. Last night, as the finale, he sang a song called "Pray", "Pray for an early end to the epidemic" – which is also the current wish of people around the world.

Behind it is the UAE's national tree, the ghaf, a symbol of tolerance.
The other is Andra Day, a well-known American female singer, a Grammy-nominated and Golden Globe winner. Her songs emphasize the indomitable spirit of humanity.
Foreign performers also include platinum-selling British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding and four-time Grammy Award winner Angelique Kidjo.

In addition, there are Chinese Arab stars who are not very familiar but are household names in the Middle East. These include Mohammed Abdu, known as the "Arab artist," The UAE's national treasure singer Ahlam Al Shamsi, and Hussain Al Jassmi, a weathervane in the Middle Eastern music scene.

As the first World Expo held in the Middle East, although facing great difficulties, the opening ceremony of the Dubai World Expo handed over a beautiful answer sheet, and the efforts of the organizing committee were visible to the naked eye.

The main theme of this World Expo is "Communicating Ideas, Creating the Future", in the future opening of the pavilions, I believe that the audience can feel this theme more intuitively, and I hope that everyone can create their own beautiful future.
Happy National Day to our motherland!
Wish Expo Dubai a successful start!
