That night, many people can't forget it.
With the opening of the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing, the centennial Olympic dream of China people has finally come true.

Emblem of Beijing Olympic Games
unparalleled
Go down in history and create brilliance.
In the 16 days when the main torch of the Beijing Olympic Games was blazing, China athletes fought bravely for the first time, winning the first place in the total number of Olympic gold medals with 5 1 gold medals, climbing to the peak of competitive sports achievements.
More profoundly, with the help of the Olympic Games, Beijing has promoted a prosperous, harmonious and confident image of China to the whole world, showing the great achievements and changes of China in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.
The venues and facilities completed on time have witnessed the "China speed" all over the world; During the Beijing Olympic Games, tens of thousands of volunteers made selfless contributions in their respective fields, leaving the world with "the most beautiful smile". ...
On the evening of August 24th, when people gathered in the "Bird's Nest" again for the closing ceremony of the 29th Summer Olympic Games, Rogge, then president of the International Olympic Committee, gave the Beijing Olympic Games the "unparalleled" highest praise.
What on earth made Rogge make such an evaluation? Yu Zaiqing, vice chairman of the International Olympic Committee, the Chinese Olympic Committee and the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, gave the answer.
Hundreds of pages of promises have been fulfilled.
200 1, 1, the then Beijing Olympic bid committee submitted the Beijing Olympic bid report to the International Olympic Committee. The report hopes that IOC members believe that Beijing has the conditions and ability to host the Olympic Games. On the day of the successful bid for the Olympic Games, Liu Qi, chairman of Beijing Olympic bid committee, and Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee, signed the Host City Contract, which listed the requirements of the International Olympic Committee for the host city.
The 600-page report on the Olympic bid highlights the theme of "New Beijing, Great Olympics" and the concept of "Green Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics and People's Olympics". Its central meaning is: the sincere desire of the China government and the people of China to participate in and promote the Olympic Movement; Beijing's enthusiasm and determination to bid for the Olympic Games; Plan the future construction of Beijing to meet the conditions and capabilities for hosting the Olympic Games. And ensure that after winning the right to host, it will be strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions and requirements of the Olympic Charter and international individual sports organizations.
"Report" and "contract" are simply called "commitment" by the outside world. This is Beijing's commitment, and it is also the solemn commitment of the China government and the people of China. This is not only the hope of the international community, the requirement of the International Olympic Committee, but also the embodiment of self-confidence, honesty and strength of a city and a country.
In the following seven years, Beijing fulfilled its commitments item by item. Transportation, accommodation, environmental protection, venues, market development, medical and health care, media services, facilities for the disabled, intellectual property protection, Olympic Village, torch climbing Everest, etc. It has been fully realized, showing China's determination, China's confidence and China's speed. "'unparalleled' is the result of a combination of factors." Yu Zaiqing said, "In the 2008 Olympic Games, we will strictly abide by the host city contract on major issues. Keep your promise, keep your word, and meet the requirements of the International Olympic Committee. It can be said that the cooperation is very pleasant, and everyone will hold it together and succeed together. This is a win-win situation. "
"China Speed" Dedicates "China Experience"
The "China Speed" has also convinced the world that the promise of the Beijing Olympic Games will be fulfilled. The use of venues after the Beijing Olympic Games, represented by "Bird's Nest" and "Water Cube", provided the world with "China experience". These two iconic venues of the Beijing Olympic Games have not only achieved a balance of payments for many years, but will continue to serve the Beijing Winter Olympics through transformation.
"The Beijing Olympic Games left us a lot of legacy," Yu Zaiqing said. Yu Zaiqing introduced that the Capital Gymnasium will be the volleyball competition venue in 2008 and the short track speed skating and figure skating competition venue in 2022. Wukesong basketball hall will be used as the venue for women's ice hockey competition; The National Stadium was a handball hall during the Beijing Olympic Games, and the men's ice hockey competition in the Winter Olympics will be held next year. The "Water Cube" became the "ice cube" and held the curling competition in the Winter Olympics. "We grafted the legacy of the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics, thus building fewer venues, which reflected the post-game utilization of the Olympic legacy. This is very meaningful, and the International Olympic Committee spoke highly of it. "
It is "civilization" and "culture"
The Olympic Games is not only a grand sports event, but also a cultural display of the host country. In the process of preparing for the Olympic Games, Beijing strives to show the Chinese civilization with a long history of 5,000 years to the world through the Olympic stage, to show the features of the ancient capital where Beijing coexists with modernization, and to show the hospitality and open mind of the people of China.
"The Olympic Games is the largest public event in the world and a big stage. By hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, we are open to 204 countries and regions around the world, demonstrating our concept of hosting the Olympic Games, that is,' green Olympics, people's Olympics and high-tech Olympics'. " Yu Zaiqing said, "Humanity is not only a civilization, but also a culture, because on this stage, we have to contact so many athletes and foreign media. For example, we have more than 500 Olympic model schools, and many delegations go to the corresponding model schools for exchanges. This is the mutual exchange of cultures. "
The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is only a short moment in the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, and it is also a chapter in the Olympic history of more than a hundred years. However, in the eyes of China and people all over the world, the preparation and holding of the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympics have fixed an important step on the Chinese nation's journey towards great rejuvenation, reflected the characteristics of the times of socialist China's strong national strength, social harmony and national unity, and witnessed China as a responsible big country in the 30 years of reform and opening up.
After the main torch tower of Beijing Olympic Games was lit, fireworks formed a five-ring pattern over the National Stadium.
From a sports power to a sports power.
Exercise is related to everyone's health. After the Beijing Olympic Games, China reconsidered and positioned the social value of sports from the national level. On August 30th, 2009, the State Council promulgated the National Fitness Regulations. This indicates that China has begun to move from a sports power to a sports power. Beijing, which hosted the Olympic Games, once again took the lead.
From 20 16 to 20 19, Beijing's national fitness activities flourished, forming a number of distinctive brand activities such as Beijing National Fitness Festival and Beijing Sports Conference. * * * More than 92,300 national fitness events and activities were held, with a cumulative participation of more than 44.27 million people. Most of them were held in township community administrative villages, close to the masses and sinking to the grassroots.
Running on the playground, sweating in the gym, relaxing in the park ... In recent years, more and more citizens have noticed the increase of sports facilities around them, and it has gradually become a habit to participate in sports at home. By the end of 20 19 and 10, the total area of various sports venues in Beijing reached 502 10800 square meters, with a per capita sports venue area of 2.32 square meters. The farmers' physical fitness project in the administrative village and the "15-minute fitness circle" in the urban community have all achieved 100% full coverage.
Various measures to benefit the people have attracted more citizens to participate in sports and enjoy a healthy life. By the end of 20 19, the number of people who regularly take part in physical exercise in Beijing has exceeded100000, accounting for about 50% of the total resident population in the city.
From "big" to "strong", with the development of all aspects of sports in China, sports has gradually become an important part of people's happy life.
