And China had came a long weary way to hosting of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, from its anxiety of being elected as a hosting city, the many major preparation works in the 7 years of preparation period, and overcoming both the natural disasters and man-made obstacles.
Now at exactly 30 years after its Open Door Policy in 1978, China is economically strong to hoist the most expensive Games in history, at near S$60 billion.
They stormed the world with their astonishing acts in tonight's spectacular opening ceremony. Breathtaking performances and all, in its hour and a half of jaw-dropping presentations. The discipline and professionalism they displayed is a force to be reckoned with.
And we have Steven Spielberg and gang to thank for; had he not boycotted the Olympics, we would not have witnessed the uniqueness of a Chinese production that needs no copy from the West.
China made every Chinese proud. Most touching moments for me would be witnessing 56 children representing 56 ethnic groups from across China, delivering their National flag for the flag raising ceremony.
The Chinese, China had delivered their promise, their dreams and aspirations of 100 years. Congratulation China...!
