After the great Opening of the 29th Olympic Games, I had some correspondence with my younger sister in Britain. I'd like to share some pieces as follows:

I wrote to her at that Saturday morning just after I heard some comments by the news: "We have had a very good time last night. The opening was great and wonderful! All comments came from in and out of China are  "Amazing", "Unbelievable", "Very smart director", etc... I also heard that even British people started to worry about how it would be in London in 2012... haha.. We are all very proud of being a Chinese!

Have you had any chance to watch it? "

My sister wrote: "Everything here has been overshadowed by the fantastic Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Who will disagree with you? The whole show was unbelievable. The design and the imagination; the size and the light; the discipline and the dedication of all involved, are just beyond the comprehension. David and I were even moved to tears. I only watched from 12:50 to 14:00 UK time (the first 1.5 hours) at work and I was hard to find any word to express my excitement.
 
When I went home about 5pm, David was still watching (starting from 12:30) TV with tears in his eyes. You know what he said to me, "I was so deeply moved that I stood up for the Chinese Anthem." I said to him "You are not Chinese and you don't have to stand up." "I couldn't help it." was his answer."

I present the above to share it with you all.  I can never forget that great moment!
