The Olympics are a series of grand and comprehensive sports competitions. However, with the change of time, especially the greatly strengthened the communication effect, the opening ceremony of the Olympics has been regarded as the most dazzling highlight. In Chen Kangjie's memory, people will have the strongest interest in the opening ceremony of the Olympics he has watched. The opening ceremony of the Olympics is often given an excellent stage for the cultural display of the host country, and it is also the most dazzling and huge performance show in every four years. Generally speaking, the financial, material and manpower invested will be very amazing.

In the 1996 Centennial Olympics, the United States, which has obtained the hosting power with its strong influence, must not only concentrate on showing American culture again, but also demonstrate its world leader.

One thing that has to be admitted is that the 1990s was the peak moment of US development and the peak moment of global influence. The reason is not only that the United States had just overthrew the superpower Soviet Union, but also that the US economy was booming at this time, leading the global new economic development and new technological innovation. The domestic economic indicators were the best performance after World War II. Coupled with its global deployment of power, it is indeed a well-deserved world leader.

Chen Kangjie had never finished watching the opening ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics before. It turned out that Chen Kangjie in history had not been so interested in the Olympics. What he remembered was the scene of boxing champion Ali igniting the Olympic flames that were repeatedly mentioned by various media later.

Today, Chen Kangjie came to the Olympic Village early to gather with the large team. In fact, not all athletes must participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Some athletes who will have competitions the next day will choose to stay in the dormitory to watch TV and retain their physical strength. Chen Kangjie can choose to go to the stands to enjoy the show without having to participate in the entrance ceremony.

But he still wants to experience the following from the perspective of an athlete. After all, the angle of sitting in the stands is different, and it is more like an audience. Chen Kangjie wants to stand in the center of the venue to experience his different mood as the protagonist.

After everyone put on their dresses, they arrived at the waiting area of ​​the main stadium of the Olympic Games early. Here, the order of entry will be arranged, often according to the alphabetical order of the country's English name. However, the order of two countries will not change. Greece, which hosts the Olympic Games for the first time, will be the first to appear as long as it is not the host country. This is a respect for them. Secondly, the host Congress will appear in the final appearance. In addition to showing the host's humility, it can also play a final role.

After the Chinese delegation is arranged in Chile, it belongs to about one-third of the position. After the order is arranged, each delegation must arrange its own players' entry positions. This is very random. It can be arranged in several rows and rows according to the entry environment, and it can be uniform. Moreover, the delegation does not even need to arrange it in a row. Anyway, the players are in front and others are scattered and followed behind.

The chess player in the Chinese delegation was a basketball player named Liu. Chen Kangjie didn't know this person in advance. In the first two days, Director Wu once tested Chen Kangjie on this to see if he wanted to be a chess player. Chess player, as an honor, is usually designated because he is more eye-catching and receives more attention.

However, Chen Kangjie knew that he was not qualified to be a chess player, and he didn't want to steal the limelight from others. It was estimated that when he went to war, he appointed that person to be a chess player. It would be very annoying to replace him temporarily.

With the arrival of night, the countdown and a dazzling fireworks, moving music sounded, and the gorgeous and grand opening ceremony officially began. The first chapter was called "The Call of the World", which mainly reflects the reunion of five continents and shows the history of the century-old Olympics.

Ouyang Zhenhua, Chen Jing and others sat in the middle of the stadium and were already enjoying the performance, but Chen Kangjie and others had to wait in sequence. According to the arrangement, they had to wait until the performance in the first chapter was completed in about 20 minutes before entering the venue from a gentle slope on the side.

"Mr. Jie, what are you feeling now?" Niu Qihua, also wearing a red suit and white pants, gently patted Chen Kangjie, who was standing on the high walls of the sports field with his head tilted up and watched five Indians on the TV screen, standing on the high walls of the sports field.

Although they are in the waiting area, they can still see the scenes in the venue through live broadcast through dozens of TV screens. The organizer cannot just let them stand stupidly.

"Haha, what are you feeling?" Chen Kangjie withdrew his gaze, chuckled, and asked back.

"Anyway, I'm very excited, excited and nervous. When I was in school, I didn't believe that I could come to such an occasion." Before Niu Qihua could answer, Tang Wei next to him rushed to express his feelings at this moment.

Chen Kangjie did not respond, but looked at Lin Zhidong and Niu Qihua calmly again.

"That's all right. As a sportsman, I feel a little bit like it's in a dream. I feel that my blood is about to boil. Look at my hands." Lin Zhidong said excitedly, and hugged his right arm, as if he was trying to show that the blood in the blood vessels on his arm was about to burst out.

In fact, I couldn't see anything, I could only see his hands trembling a little.

"Hurry down your sleeves. Those who don't know would think you are showing off your muscles, haha," Niu Qihua pulled Lin Zhidong and said, "I am also very excited and nervous. For the first time, I feel a strong sense of sacred mission. Mr. Jie, what do you feel? You should be very calm."

Niu Qihua felt that Chen Kangjie, who was used to big scenes, should not be the same as them. They were small characters entering the hall, but Chen Kangjie was originally in the hall.

"You guessed it wrong. I am actually the same as you. Haha, my little heart is beating violently. Tonight should be a happy day," Chen Kangjie said with a timid face.

Chen Kangjie has seen many big scenes, but it does not mean that he can be completely calm. Yes, when he attended the Oscars and held a press conference, he was not nervous or excited when he stood on the stage and performed against tens of thousands of people.

But those environments are very different from today. Those are more regarded as personal and commercial behaviors. However, today he is carrying the national behavior and he is himself on the stage. But the meaning he represents is a country and a nation, and there is also a very subtle psychological difference, that is, he used to achieve honors by plagiarizing other people's achievements. However, from today on, what kind of achievements he can achieve in the next period of time is entirely through his own efforts and hard work. This is completely his own, so that feeling will be very different.

"Actually, the people who participated in the Olympics for the first time are like this. I didn't feel like this before when I participated in the Hiroshima Asian Games in 1994. By the way, I have never seen you before." A tall and thin athlete next to me also joined in when he heard Chen Kangjie and the others' chat.

"Haha, hello, I'll participate in the track and field event," Chen Kangjie said friendly with a smile.

"Ah, you are still from our track and field team. Why haven't I seen you before? I participated in the 1500-meter race." The other party stared at Chen Kangjie with a suspicion.

"Oh, I've participated in the 1500m too. I just joined the track and field team. I'm not familiar with my teammates," Chen Kangjie replied lightly.

"You can come to the Olympics just as soon as you join the national track and field team." The opponent looked incredible, "I came in with the fourth place in the Hiroshima Asian Games. Have you participated in any international competitions before?"

Chen Kangjie smiled and shook his head: "I haven't participated in any competition."

"My name is Tao Ming. Come to Mingzhu, what are your name?" Tao Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked.

"Chen Kangjie, from Qianzhou."

"Oh, I saw your name when the results were released before, but if I don't know it, I can't understand it. Why can you come to the Olympics if you haven't participated in any competition? Haha." Tao Ming seems that in addition to being cheerful, he is also a bit gossipy.

In fact, Tao Ming cannot be considered a very gossipy either. No matter who it is, he will be interested in this question.

Chen Kangjie couldn't answer his question, so he could only perfunctory, "Actually, I don't know the reason, so I came in a confused way, haha."

Tao Ming originally wanted to say something, but at this time, the deputy team leader and the team leader no longer allowed everyone to talk. As the flags of 26 cities that had held the Olympics ran out of the venue, the athletes' entrance ceremony began immediately, and everyone had to prepare according to the queue.

John Williams directed the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to perform the Centennial Olympic theme song "Call the Heroes" composed by him as the background music for the first section of the previous performance. This song seems to be written for Chen Kangjie, calling for heroes. Perhaps, Chen Kangjie is the hero called on the Centennial Olympics. This venue is the starting point of the heroes.

Amid the warm cheers of the audience, the Greek delegation was the first to step into the sports field. According to the scheduled order, the delegations behind were arranged in order. Under the command of volunteers, the athletes will perform the first demonstration before the competition.

According to convention, behind the guide card and national flag, sports officials and coaches appeared, followed by female athletes arranged in the principle of ladies' priority, and then male athletes. When choosing a position, Chen Kangjie and his group stood in the left back of the delegation. The camera generally cannot take care of this position, but Chen Kangjie doesn't care.

After seemingly a long wait, the team slowly moved forward. Just after the Chilean team entered the field, Chen Kangjie and the others thought they would be able to enter the field immediately, so everyone quickly sorted out their appearance.

However, even though it is possible to imagine that there must be Chinese people waving the five-star red flag, the team did not move forward, and the staff asked them to wait on the spot.

This was originally a way for the people who were moving forward to walk a distance and then let a large number of Chinese delegations enter the field, so as not to cause squeezing and confusion in the team, but the wait in the middle was long enough, which was nearly three minutes. This was the longest waiting time in the athlete's entry ceremony, and it was like a special introduction that was received by special treatment and was called for.

With the staff's gesture of asking for help, the five-star red flag that was only two steps away from appearing in the world's vision was finally lifted into the sports field by the chess player. Following the guidance of the national flag fluttering in the night wind, Chen Kangjie finally stepped into the history of the Olympic Games for the first time.
Chapter completed!
