After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Two of the three Olympic questions have been answered. What an arduous journey that must have been, yet they have persevered step by step!

Even Old Zhu was moved to tears, his eyes reddening, "The descendants are truly remarkable!"

Lin Zexu looked at the sky and felt very gratified. People in later generations valued these things, and many wishes had been fulfilled. Now he was even more determined to do something.

Regardless of what happens in the future, those who lived in the past will ultimately have to fight for what they have.

Because what is the past for future generations is their present.

Looking at the newly completed "Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms" in his hands, Wei Yuan was filled with fervor. "The future is truly wonderful. I wonder if we will live to see this place become like the future?"

Countless compatriots who sacrificed their lives looked up at the sky. No matter how badly they were injured, as long as it could help their country and their people stand up, they would not be afraid of any pain or even death.

……

Zhu Qinggu's expression grew increasingly confident and proud. "Answering the two Olympic questions has spanned decades. Now, the Chinese people are turning to the final question—"

When will our country be able to host the Olympics?

"In 1991, Beijing formally applied to the Chinese Olympic Committee to host the 2000 Olympic Games. After a series of procedures and applications, Beijing ultimately failed to win the vote."

Countless people on the sky shed tears on the spot.

"However, this defeat did not dampen China's Olympic enthusiasm. On July 13, 2001, the International Olympic Committee held its 112th General Assembly in Moscow. In the second round of voting, Beijing defeated other competing cities with an absolute advantage and successfully won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games."

A huge, golden "Beijing" appeared in the center of the screen.

At the same time, cheers erupted from the Chinese delegation, and the venue seemed to turn completely red.

Upon hearing this news, the entire nation turned red.

In Beijing, Jinan, and other cities, countless people spontaneously took to the streets, waving red flags and embracing each other in celebration.

On the night Beijing won the bid to host the Olympics, Hong Kong citizens were also enveloped in immense joy, celebrating with one another.

[Stephen Chow and Coco Lee witnessed the successful bid for the Olympics together, and even the usually reserved Stephen Chow couldn't control his emotions.]

"This is extremely important for a nation that has endured a century of suffering and is now achieving rejuvenation!"

Liu Changchun hadn't cried when he won his first gold medal, but Zhu Qinggu burst into tears at this moment.

I remember when I first started working, I listened to the news on the radio, and I was so excited!

[Tears welled up in her eyes.]

We Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia!

[We've overcome such difficulties; things will only get better from here on out.]

Zhu Qinggu wasn't even born when the bid for the Olympics was successful, and he was still a child when the 08 Olympics took place. But now that he's grown up, he understands how difficult it was and feels proud of his nation, this rising country, and this great nation!

"This moment is not only a victory in the bid for the Olympics, but also a symbol of the rise in our country's strength and international standing!"

Many people cheered under the sky, especially those from special eras. They seemed to want to express their excitement at this moment by shouting, crying, laughing, and hugging each other.

Even many people in ancient times didn't quite understand, but they just felt like they had sand in their eyes.

Niu Ba rubbed his eyes, "Why do my eyes feel sore?"

Chen Shiwu straightened up. "Me too."

There are many others like them.

People living on the same land and receiving the same cultural heritage can now deeply feel the power of the word "nation".

A large number appeared on the sky: "[2004]".

"Liu Xiang, an athlete who was born in the same month as Liu Changchun after his death, shares the same surname Liu, and looks similar to him, won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles at the 2004 Olympics with a time of 12.91 seconds, equaling the world record and breaking the world's perception of people of Asian descent."

Another image gradually appeared on the sky.

Throughout countless times and dynasties, people have stood beneath the sky, looking up at it.

Athletes wearing different colored uniforms had to jump over a hurdle after each section of running.

[“Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang!” A hurried and excited voice rang out in the background, “Liu Xiang won!”]

An athlete wearing a red tracksuit with the word 'CHINA' printed on the front, draped in a red flag, proudly waves to the audience.

"Liu Xiang won! Liu Xiang made history!!!"

"A Chinese man with yellow skin and black hair has become the world's fastest man!!!"

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and felt a sense of pride.

I haven't felt this emotionally stirred in years, but the sky always manages to evoke those feelings.

"At the closing ceremony of the 04 Athens Olympics, China showcased its traditional culture to the world for the first time," said Zhu Qinggu.

Then came another simple scene.

Whether it's Chinese scenery, Tai Chi practice, or traditional opera, the smiling faces of Chinese people always appear in the images.

The much-criticized eight-minute segment featuring a girl in a short cheongsam playing the pipa, accompanied by the song "Jasmine Flower," only flashed by for a moment.

"On August 8, 2008, the Beijing Olympic Games opened amidst global attention. The 14 billion Chinese people were filled with anticipation, and the meticulously designed performances not only showcased China's traditional culture but also demonstrated the prosperity of our country."

The scene above only flashed by for a moment, but the huge flame tube, the ink-painting-like scroll, and the fireworks that exploded with a bang were already enough to make people marvel.

"We finally answered the three questions posed by the Olympics a century ago in 2008, after a hundred years of waiting!"

"From the three questions about the Olympics a century ago, to Liu Changchun's solo journey to the Games, to the current Olympic Games, the Chinese nation has gone from being ravaged by war to being prosperous and strong today. Our answer is more than satisfactory."

The participation and awards of the subsequent Olympic Games were shown in a slow flashback format with text.

From having no gold medals at all to now having our athletes win gold medals at the Olympics, it is a remarkable achievement.

As Zhu Qinggu spoke, the tears in her eyes disappeared, and that look of immense pride that modern Chinese people have for everything returned to her face.

"Today's live broadcast is coming to an end. In the next episode, we will talk about the 08 Olympics."
