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

Fireworks suddenly exploded above the Bird's Nest, illuminating the sky with dazzling brilliance.

The ancients had never seen such bright fireworks, as if they illuminated the whole world.

[Twenty-nine footprints formed by giant fireworks marched northward along Yongdingmen, Qianmen, Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, and beyond.]

Zhu Di in the Yongle era also showed a genuine smile on his face.

He was unhappy that the Tartars had occupied his palace, but he was pleased to see people mentioning the palace in later generations.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly transcending time and space, witnessing how this long-suffering nation finally ushered in a moment of prosperity and strength.

As the last footprint reached the top of the Bird's Nest, a gleaming five-ring symbol was formed amidst the dazzling starlight.

"So beautiful..." Li Bai looked at the sky, feeling as if he could never get enough of it. At this moment, he was almost murmuring to himself. Even if he had any poetic inspiration, he felt that he didn't need to express it now, because it was all in his eyes.

A giant scroll slowly unfurls, revealing several paintings representing five thousand years of civilization. Accompanied by ancient melodies, dancers mimicking the brushstrokes of ink in a painting begin to dance.

The undulating blocks representing movable type printing, with their inscriptions, also symbolize the evolution of five thousand years of civilization.

Bi Sheng was already in tears at this moment, "There are still people in later generations who remember my movable type printing technology?"

What merit or reason is there for his printing skills to be displayed on such a grand stage and known to the public?

The character "和" (harmony) appearing in the center represents the Chinese people's philosophy of "harmony is precious."

The disciples of the Mohist school, the Agricultural school, and even other schools of thought were deeply envious.

Those who had previously abandoned Confucianism due to later criticism suddenly straightened their backs and loudly retorted, "What Confucianism? Didn't everyone say that Confucianism after the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties has changed drastically? It's not like it is now!"

The screen displayed not only paintings, but also opera, ritual music, silk, Tai Chi...

This microcosm of Chinese culture over five thousand years has also allowed the world to recognize a confident China, no longer the weak "sick man of East Asia" it once was!

Peace doves and astronauts also flew over the Bird's Nest.

The song "You and Me" resounded throughout the venue as a three-dimensional globe rose, its resounding harmonies representing the deepest longing and cry of the Chinese people.

The moment the Chinese delegation entered the stadium, the entire audience of Chinese people erupted in cheers.

[Li Ning, holding the torch, leaps into the air to ignite the Olympic flame; the flame burns for a fleeting moment, then bursts into brilliant light.]

One hundred years! A full one hundred years!

Such a prosperous age! Such a sight!

They have finally and thoroughly answered the three questions posed by the Olympics a century ago!

Even now, watching it brings tears to my eyes.

[Especially for the people of Sichuan who experienced the earthquake that year, watching the Olympics three months later, they really couldn't hold back their tears.]

Even more than a decade later, the 08 Olympic opening ceremony remains one of the best in the world.

[To offer the greatest goodwill imaginable, for our nation has longed for this for far too long!]

……

Zhu Qinggu couldn't help but feel shocked and moved.

Especially when you see those footprints one by one, it's not just the history of the Olympics, but also the path that our predecessors fought and bled to reach!

"The vast land of China, the vast land of China!" Su Shi was also deeply moved by this sight, and could only repeat these four words over and over again, unaware that he had already soaked his clothes with tears.

"Such an opening ceremony..." Xin Qiji was speechless for a moment. No matter how ingenious his ideas or how elegant his writing, he could not describe such a scene in a short time.

Seeing such a prosperous scene, he felt even more anxious about when he could drive out the Jurchens and return the old capital.

He was awakened by the damp, cool sensation and realized that his eyes were already brimming with tears, and he couldn't control his emotions.

"How wonderful, such a future!" Gu Yanwu watched the fireworks explode in the sky, as if his life had exploded just like those fireworks.

……

Zhu Qinggu then played some highlights of the match.

Unlike school sports meets, these large-scale events have a more professional and solemn atmosphere, as they are all striving for glory for the country.

Scenes of the Chinese team winning the Olympic gold medal flashed by one after another, accompanied by cheers and applause from the people on the sky. The ancient people below the sky, who were already awestruck by the opening ceremony, were now even more proud.

["Congratulations to Pang Wei! He won the gold medal in the men's 10-meter air pistol event!"]

A man appeared in the sky, looking calm and composed.

[Guo Jingjing and Wu Minxia, ​​in the women's 3-meter synchronized springboard diving, were greeted with cheers from countless people as they plunged into the water. Even the commentator couldn't contain his excitement, exclaiming "Beautiful!"]

[Lin Yue and Huo Liang gracefully leaped into the water from the men's 10-meter synchronized diving platform, sending the entire stadium into a frenzy!]

[Chen Yanqing gritted her teeth; at that moment, all she could think about was perseverance. Taking a deep breath, she lifted the barbell overhead!]

[With a resounding strike, in the men's individual sabre event, competitor Zhong Man landed a perfect blow, winning the victory. He waved to the audience.]

[Liu Zige beat the record line in the women's 200m butterfly, touching the top of the table to win the gold medal!]

Holding an arrow in her hand, her eyes sharp as she aimed at the target, the bowstring was drawn back to its limit, and the arrow was released. Zhang Juanjuan won the gold medal in South Korea's most triumphant event, and she excitedly raised her bow and hugged her coach in celebration!

[Archery is truly divine; the skill level is extremely high.]

[It's like a foreigner winning first place in a sport we excel at, like table tennis.]

[Everyone stand up!]

……

There are so many wonderful moments, even if only a portion is edited out, it's enough to make people reminisce.

"So women can also be so talented..." Cai Yan watched the women on the sky participating in the competition, winning gold medals and bringing glory to the country, her eyes shining.

"Good! Women of later generations will all be just as capable as men!" Deng Sui smiled.

“Not bad, you have quite the air of a great general.” Lü Zhi smiled slightly. “Why can’t women achieve something? As the sky says, a country is not just about men; we women can do many things too.”

Wu Zetian and Princess Taiping looked at the sky with smiles on their faces.

Students who once watched the Olympic Games opening ceremony on the Nankai University playground looked up at the sky and wondered, "Is this our future?"

The teacher nodded and smiled. "Yes, this is our future—prosperity and strength. Perhaps we will have to pay a lot to achieve such a future."

A student raised his hand, stood up, and said, "I do, teacher!"

More and more students stood up, offering a silent form of support.

They are like newly sprouted saplings, standing here, forming a forest, each face filled with fearlessness, their spines straight.

The teacher's gaze swept over their faces, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Today, I have also learned a lesson from you all. As long as we have hope, this country will not be destroyed."
