The opening ceremony is led by director Zhang Yimou, a three-time Oscar nominee who was already in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Zhang has anticipated that the concept for this event will be very different from the one used 14 years ago, when the goal was to show China’s 5,000-year history to the world.
In this way, the objective is to convey that these are “simple, safe and splendid” games, as he acknowledged.
