Did you watch the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics? Compared with previous years, what do you think are the differences or highlights?

A weak question, did you watch the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics last night? ?

From the Internet In the early morning of that day, my father came over. I told my father that the Olympic opening ceremony would be held at 8:30 tonight. My father looked confused, but then he was very happy and said that he would watch it tonight. My father is 86 years old this year and he didn’t like it. Sports, but also said that look at the Olympics. No matter how you put it, this is a world-class event in 2021. We must support the Olympics and cheer for the Chinese team. At the same time, I wish our athletes health and safety and a triumphant return!

Then, I sent another WeChat message to my best friend. She said that she had forgotten about it. It turned out that her Olympic complex had faded. Is it age? In fact, I think that no matter what age you are, you should cheer up. When you get older, you can't relax. Only in this way can you live a wonderful and different self. This is a personal opinion, don't criticize if you don't like it! Thank you all!

In this way, with my instigation, two relatives and friends watched the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics.

Actually, what I said was wrong. I saw it online, saying that the Tokyo Olympics were originally scheduled to start at eight o'clock. Due to the epidemic, social distance must be maintained, which would delay it for at least half an hour, Tokyo time. Around seven o'clock, while I was eating, I suddenly remembered that it would be better to go earlier, so I typed "amount in advance". As a result, around ten ten past eight, I searched my notebook. Fortunately, I received it easily. It turned out that the opening ceremony was "about to begin." "Start", I thought I didn't miss anything. In fact, the Olympic Games started with the display of animation elements (Japan is worthy of being one of the strongest countries in animation. Animation is also a traditional element that constitutes the country of Japan, just like every Every country has its own cultural origins and traditions), and there is also a three-minute silence event to commemorate the sacrifices and deaths of compatriots in the COVID-19 epidemic, which I have not seen.

Okay, let’s watch the Olympics together, yeah!

Actually, I have been watching athletes from various countries entering the Olympic Games. I can only make a brief summary and talk about the unique ones.

The first country to enter the arena was the Ural Sports delegation. I remember they were wearing the same red clothes as China, but not as colorful as China.

The Cameroon sports team is very beautiful, and looks a bit like an ethnic minority in terms of clothing and appearance.

But people say that the most beautiful and charming place is Kazakhstan, as if a fairy descended to earth. (On July 23, 2021, Japan, the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was held. The appearance of the Kazakh female flag bearer Olga Repakova attracted attention.)

In addition, each country also has its own unique costumes What’s cool, for example, the Cambodian team wears sequins, and Guinea-Bissau’s clothing is a mix of black and white, what a great color combination! The female flag bearer of Kyrgyzstan is also very beautiful. Singapore deserves to be called the "Flower of China" and is also very beautiful. Singapore is a gathering place for Chinese, with the majority of them being Chinese. There are quite a few countries with strange costumes. For example, the small country of Seychelles has athletes with “really fancy” upper bodies.

The Chinese Taipei team is also here, consisting of 68 athletes.

China is the 110th country to enter the competition. The upper body is red. China red is the knot in the hearts of the Chinese people. The Chinese team consists of 777 members. Since the competition lasted 17 days, many athletes participating in the second half have not arrived in Tokyo.

The flag bearers are women’s volleyball player Zhu Ting and men’s taekwondo player Zhao Shuai, so handsome!

Looking at the country wearing red in the audience, there is Vietnam, but it is not red. It is a country worthy of being a socialist country. Even its name is very revolutionary, and its flag bearer is "Nguyen Hui Hui".

Since I only watched the athletes entering the opening ceremony once, my description may not be accurate, but I watched it very seriously and paid close attention to this international event.

Let me talk about it below. Compared with previous Olympic Games, what do I think are unique or outstanding?

One special feature is that everyone knows there is no audience, "absent audience", which is of course caused by the epidemic. Football and cycling events can have spectators, but the other events do not have spectators. This will also cause the Japanese side to suffer heavy losses during the Tokyo Olympics. Tickets alone will cause heavy losses. But this is also bad luck for Japan. I hope this Olympic Games will be a success.

There are also times when I thought I had made a mistake about this icon. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics icon, yes, it was supposed to be last year’s Olympic Games that were delayed by one year. The icon remained the same and the competition continued.

From the Internet

The opening ceremony was attended by Emperor Naruhito of Japan, and even Queen Masako did not attend the opening ceremony due to the epidemic. Why is there still an emperor?

Japan is a constitutional monarchy. The so-called constitutional monarchy is a form of political organization in a capitalist country in which a hereditary monarch is the head of state and the power of the monarch is subject to certain restrictions in accordance with the provisions of the constitution. It was the result of compromise between the bourgeoisie and the feudal landlord class.

As for Japan specifically, after the end of World War II, the United States occupied Japan. In order to safeguard the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, he did not advocate overly weakening Japan, nor did he want Japan to become like Germany. Several countries occupied it together. Therefore, the United States decided to retain Japan's emperor system to avoid Japanese citizens' hatred and resistance to the United States and make Japan a pawn of the United States in East Asia and the Pacific. This is why Japan still retains a strong tradition of militarism and refuses to admit its crimes during World War II. It was because of the strong protection of the United States at that time.

As the head of state, the Emperor of Japan is only symbolic. Most of his responsibilities are ceremonial, such as traveling on behalf of the country and signing legal documents. In essence, the government (cabinet) holds executive power, and its top leader is the prime minister. The government is produced by and accountable to the parliament.

It was originally planned that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe would attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. However, he decided not to attend the opening ceremony three hours before the opening ceremony. It was said that he was not in a convenient position to prevent and control the epidemic, and that he might not be able to attend due to physical reasons. And know. In short, the supreme leader attending the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is Japan's Emperor Naruhito, although he does not have a real power role.

Because this Olympics is the first time in the history of the modern Olympics to be postponed, it is destined that there will be many special problems in this Olympics, which will be solved slowly.

After the meeting, there was a piano performance at the opening ceremony. Although there were not many cultural programs, Japanese officials have long said that the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be simple and easy to understand due to the epidemic. What I am more interested in is the countless drones suspended in the sky that merge into one earth. It is a home for us people on earth to live together. It really has profound meaning.

I think one of the biggest highlights of the Olympic Games is the change of the Olympic motto.

“Unity” has always been the core slogan and spiritual guidance of the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. Just three days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, the International Olympic Committee voted at its 138th Plenary Session to add "More United" to the Olympic motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger". This is the first time that the Olympic motto has been "expanded" in about a century. Because of the current situation and the epidemic is not over, people all over the world should unite more to fight the new crown virus, protect our beautiful homeland, strengthen our bodies, and people all over the world work together in harmony, equality, and peace and unity.
