    1. @Dasd DaOne reason is that Winter Olympics is behind summer Olympics. Beijing 2008 had far more budget than Beijing 2022.The world is still under epidemic situation,and we want to share the idea of environment protection.Because China is no need to prove itself so the ceremony is more focus on technology and human beings.

    2. @w lee Director Zhang already told that, this opening ceremony will only be around three hours. This is in view of the pandemic and not to over expose the performer and participant to the extreme cold weather for more then three hours.

    3. @我自从容 oh ok. but beijing 2008 remains the BEST for me. too epic. I prefer more humanic role in the ceremony rather than high tech dominant

  1. Us leads in figure skating because we haven’t gotten to women’s short program yet where the US will get trounced

  2. That’s a ceremony to show the word That Chinese people have gorgeous culture and they want a shared future where they develop peacefully with love, which is totally different from What the USA is doing.

    1. harmony, peace and love are within their people’s life. there is a famous saying in China: friendship first, competition second.

  3. The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures. I’m taking a trip into investing because I lost so much during this pandemic. Multi creation of wealth is the best strategy to ensure financial sustainability..

    1. Personally as a first time investor, I started trading with Mr Alex Divine Johnson With $1,000 now my portfolio is worth $5,400 within the space of few months trading with him

    2. I still remember the first week I got in touch with Mr Alex Divine Johnson , His strategies was so easy to adopt but I made 2btc directly to my bitcoin wallet.

    3. Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself. thanks this is really helpful for my situation.💯

  4. I thought the 2008 Olympic opening is the best, but 2022 is even more splendid, only China and win China in presenting a beautiful celebration.

  5. YouTube can not watch Olympic Live, America is afraid of China ! Hahaha
    The opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics is very very beautiful really !!! That is most beautiful opening ceremony of Olympic !
