Hi, here is Yamaki Yuki!
On July 23, 2021, that is, yesterday, the 32nd Summer Olympic Games were held in Tokyo, Japan. The opening ceremony began with the confusion of "the day before the opening ceremony, the general director of the closing ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games was dismissed", but what really made netizens wonder was the "performing arts" of the show.
To this end, netizens joked that "art does not distinguish between borders, but divided into two worlds of yin and yang" and "art is given to the audience, not to send the audience away.".
Even the well-known Japanese netizen Tomohiro Yamashita also ridiculed, "I can't understand the opening performance of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."
All I can say about this is: I don't understand.
But before the opening ceremony, the Tokyo Olympic Games are also frequently searched for because of a series of "hades", let's take stock of those [confusing news] that appeared in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Confusing News 1: Torch Relay
Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics, which should have been held in 2020, were postponed to 2021. But on the first day of the torch relay, the sacred flame was blown out by the wind... Or twice...
But in our Olympic spirit of never giving up, what is it! So the day after the torch was passed, the sacred flame was blown out by the wind again, and the torchbearer held the torch without flames and ran almost the entire transmission range. After that, it took the staff about two minutes in the strong wind to rekindle.
This is not the worst, the worst thing is that during the torch relay, every day celebrities announced their withdrawal from the flame relay, and the flame said: I am very wronged.
Confusing News 2: "Olympic Economy"
Due to the covid-19 pandemic, tickets sold for the Olympic Games are scarce. The Olympic games were replaced by empty venues, and the more than 3 million tickets that have been sold will be refunded sequentially after the Olympic Games close. According to the Japan News Agency reported on the 11th, Tosso Muto, CEO of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, said that the ticket revenue of the Tokyo Olympic Games will drop from the estimated 90 billion yen (about 5.3 billion yuan) to billions of yen, and the Olympic Organizing Committee will face an imbalance in revenue and expenditure. Noboru Kinuchi, a researcher at Japan's Nomura Research Institute, said that if the olympic venue is held, the overall economic income of the Olympic Games will be sharply reduced by 150 billion yen (about 8.8 billion yuan).
According to Japanese media reports, on June 7, Yasushi Moriya, director of the Accounting Department of the Japanese Olympic Committee, committed suicide by jumping off the track at the Tokyo subway station on the morning of the same day.
Confusing News 3: Too Strong "Environmental Awareness"
When it comes to Japan, everyone may have a "strong sense of self-protection" in their minds, but at the Tokyo Olympic Games, this awareness of green (energy) color (province) ring (just) protection (province) has also penetrated into all corners.
(1) "Environmental protection" medal
The Japanese organizing committee recycled used mobile phones and home appliances on a large scale, extracted medal materials from these wastes: gold, silver and copper, and even called on the public to continue to donate some waste products when the materials were not enough. The Japan Olympic Organizing Committee stressed that they worked hard four years ago to collect about 78,985 tons of small household appliances and 6.21 million old mobile phones. And make full use of the new technology, from which nearly 32 kilograms of pure gold, 3500 kilograms of sterling silver and 2200 kilograms of pure copper have been extracted. Almost all of the medals come from the metals extracted from these recycled products.
(2) "Eco-friendly" clothing
Let's take a look at the clothing styles they made in the name of environmental protection, and even some netizens complained that it was like entering the bathing center.
(3) "Environmentally friendly" furniture
The biggest reaction was caused by the Olympic village giving the athletes a resting bed. The beds are made of corrugated cardboard and can withstand almost the weight of an athlete.
Environmental protection is environmentally friendly, and it is convenient to disassemble it, but can the use of such a bed in the Olympic Village really allow athletes to rest well? Chinese athlete Li Wenwen responded to whether the bed was comfortable, teasing that "you don't have to worry about the bed being uncomfortable, I sleep on the floor." ”
(4) "Environmental protection" five rings
At the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games, in addition to various performances, what makes people more confused is this "wooden five rings".
Some people may say, isn't this five ring made of wood more environmentally friendly than those bells and whistles? but! The original form of this wood was planted by athletes from all over the world when the 18th Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo in 1964. Today, 57 years later, the seeds representing the World Olympics have sprouted, grown into towering trees, and then been manufactured into the "five rings" and used to build competition venues.
(5) "Eco-friendly" venues
According to Xinhua News Agency, the athletes' village in Tokyo's Harumi waterfront district, the various buildings in the village are made of wood, and will be recycled again after the collective dismantling after the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
(6) "Eco-friendly" food
The issue of Fukushima food on the athletes' table has also caused widespread concern. In South Korea, for example, the South Korean delegation directly chartered a hotel with its own chef and some ingredients, even if it is purchased in Japan, it must undergo strict radioactive material testing.
Based on the above inventory, people are shocked by the Tokyo Olympic Games. Under the great test of the global covid-19 epidemic today, the 777 members of the Chinese delegation attending the Tokyo Olympic Games still resolutely packed their bags and shouldered heavy responsibilities and rushed to Tokyo! Although affected by the epidemic, we can only watch the real-time situation of the Olympic Games on this side of the Internet, but at this end, there are 1.4 billion Chinese cheering for all Chinese Olympic athletes! We hope that Chinese athletes will race out of style, race out of level, carry blood and glory and return home! But in the face of the epidemic, the most important thing is to protect your personal safety and return safely, not one less!
If the miracle has color, it must be Chinese red; if the miracle has a sound, it must be the march of the volunteers!
