相比较开幕式的恢宏,北京奥运会的闭幕式不由给人以虎头蛇尾之感。
首先是整体结构安排混乱,一会儿升这个旗,一会儿升那个旗,一会儿降旗,无论什么旗都由中国的仪仗队完成,可能规定这些旗都是要升的,但重点是中间又没有很好的衔接,每次都突兀生硬所以观众一会儿站起一会儿坐下,(感谢观众朋友们如此配合,大家辛苦了。)中间又穿插重要人物讲话等等。其实每一个或小或大的仪式都有其重要价值,无论是奥委会主席致词还是给志愿者代表送上鲜花表达谢意,无论是庄严的升旗降旗仪式还是文艺节目表演,即使您不能做到激发大家的情绪给闭幕式掀起一个又一个高潮,那至少也要做到让这个过程看起来如行云流水般顺理成章吧,而不是现在这样子杂乱无章,不然,我们为什么需要导演呢?

我相信刘翔不是装病,对于一个可以为自己带来荣誉的机会,怎么会不珍惜而轻易放弃呢!无论是何种原因,民族气节也好,个人荣誉也罢,刘翔都是希望努力去实现他在赛场上的跨栏的,否则一早就可以告诉大家他不参加了。那么为什么进了赛场却退出呢?

Read More...Going through the comments to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Openning Ceremony on the nytimes.com, I'm just so excited...
I hope NBC is smart enough to produce a general release of the opening to movie theaters with 3D and large screens. This was an experience that everyone should have the opportunity to see properly. There has NEVER been a show this spectacular, no Super Bowl Halftime, Academy Awards, Vegas Extravaganza or other Olympics Opening- ever! I pity London as they try to follow this act in 2112.

Both scored 16.725, with even the Score A (a measure of difficulty) of both gymnasts being an identical 7.7. According to the rules of Artistic Gymnastics, the gold medal went to He because she made fewer mistakes than Liukin.
The gold medal is He's second of the Games as she won the gold medal in the Women's Team event on August 13. Liukin has now won four medals at Beijing 2008, with her other three medals being the gold medal in the All-Around, the silver medal in the Team final and the bronze medal in the Floor Exercise event.
Yang Yilin won the bronze medal with a score of 16.650. Yang has won a Team gold and the All-Around bronze medal at Beijing 2008.

很多人说开幕式都是古代的,没有现代的,言下之意是我们只是在吃老本,其实不然。文明是什么,文明是岁月历史的积淀,一个国家民族的内涵正是有历史的厚重构成,而现代全球化的物质科技又怎样彰显中国特色呢?
我们该为这样的历史,为身为炎黄子孙骄傲!

问题一:西方人诧异为什么中国军队不带武器进入灾区?(与之相反的问题是中国人不懂为啥美国兵救灾要全副武装?)
第一次看到西方人不理解中国军队不带武器进入灾区,我也挺纳闷。这救灾为啥要带武器?这武器能救灾吗?……
问题二:地震局为啥事先没预报?
问题三:谁规定了捐款额度?
