Athens (Αθήνα) 2004 CC - The Beijing (北京) 2008 Presentation
Athens (Αθήνα) 2004 CC - The Beijing (北京) 2008 Presentation
This clip highlights one of the main highlights of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games closing ceremony: the Beijing (北京) presentation for the world to come for the 2008 Olympic Games.First, a montage of Chinese people in various settings, from traditional locales to the bustling modern cities on the Jumbotron screen.Second, all those ladies sing a remix of the Chinese folk song called "Jasmine Flowers", "Jasmine" or "Mo Li Hua (茉莉花). Also, they are holding and playing various unique Chinese instruments, from the Erhu (二胡) to the Pipa (琵琶). To round out this part, a dancer with two long red ribbons does her dance with them. Do not forget the people holding Chinese lanterns ( 燈) in the background. Next, a demonstration of Chinese martial arts (武功) by a central character in white with eight (8) red "body guards." They show one of many routines in the martial art called Tai Chi Chuan (太極拳). There are five (5) main styles of it. Also, some modern dance moves are mixed with other forms of Wushu (武術) routines.Also, eight (8) more young people are dressed in elaborate costumes to perform a Chinese art form called Beijing Opera (京劇). Before it could be called Peking Opera, but now Beijing Opera is accepted as the proper way of describing it, just like the city's name itself. By the way, here the commentary about the Chinese goals for the 2008 Olympic Games. Did it come true in the end?Finally, a very young girl was seen here standing on a giant Chinese lantern singing the "Jasmine" song, like all those ladies before her. At the end, all the performers came out to wave to the crowd and unfurl a banner "Welcome to Beijing" (北京歡迎光臨).This clip would lead to the lowering of the Olympic Flag to be led out from the Olympic Stadium.
