Beijing 2008 Olympics Celebration
We had a small gathering last weekend, celebrating the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the opening ceremony was amazing and I find it too educational, possibly too much Chinese communist propaganda.
Basically the opening ceremony is a summary of 5000 years of Chinese civilization, I knew the Chinese invented paper and gun power, but was surprised to learn that block printing was a Chinese invention. That’s new for me. Gun powder, paper, and block printing was the key ingredient that catapulted the Europeans to world domination, and the Chinese could only think of fireworks and paintings? No wonder the panda bear is China’s national icon, a claw-less bear.
Who is the handsome guy in green? hmm, I wonder.
Eugene is a heavy sleeper, he is wide awake when he drinks and falls asleep like a log when he is not drunk. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
I think Ben live by the code – When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let’s all get drunk and go to heaven!
Now, some comments on the biggest communist propaganda on planet earth!

The cute little girl and her song during the opening ceremony was not what we heard, Lin (right) was lip-syncing to the sound of another girl, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi (Left), who was heard but not seen, apparently because she was deemed not cute enough.
“The reason was for the national interest,” said Chen Qigang, the ceremony’s musical director, in a state radio interview. “The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feeling and expression. … Lin Miaoke is excellent in those aspects.”
The decision was made at the highest levels, Chen said.
“We had to do it,” he said. “We’d been through several inspections. They’re all very strict. When we rehearsed at the spot, there were several spectators from various divisions, especially leaders from the Politburo, who gave the opinion it must change.” – Source: CNN
That is so sad and hypocritical; this will permanently damage the child’s psyche for life. This little girl will always know that she was not chosen because she is not cute enough.
As always, out of 1 million sperms, these types of idiot made it. Leaders with such shallow mentality, I proposed a tic for tac situation, from today onwards, all future president of China should be flawless in image, the current and past presidents are not cute/handsome enough!
For your information Mr.Chairman Hu, that little girl (Yang Peiyi) is not messed up; she is artistically arranged – differently!

The passing of the national flag from the small kids to the adults was interesting, it makes me wonder if the director was intentionally sending some kind of hidden message. The director – Zhang Yimou is well known for his out spoken criticism on the Chinese government in most of his films.
It appears as if 52 innocent kids (Citizens) walking gently, smiling all the way, waving and out came the adults, took their flags and rob them of their rights. Probably it is just me. Anyway, instead of explaining to the whole world how wonderful China and her great wall are, the communist government should be tossing bricks—to break down the walls that box in the entire nation.
