Olympics Closing Ceremony Reverberates Themes of 2022 Opening Ceremony
Chinese film director Zhang Yimou became the world's first director to helm opening and closing ceremonies at two different Olympic games.
Fortunate for Yimou, both Olympics took place in the same city -- Beijing, home of the Summer Olympics in 2008 and the Winter Olympics this year.The center stage, which is comprised of 11,600 square meters of HD LED screen, is being utilized in both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Olympics.
In the closing ceremony, the floor will display visual trails of “the weeping willow” that symbolizes a"bidding farewell."The opening and closing ceremonies are often star-studded performances, but Beijing took a different approach in 2022. One of the themes throughout the 2022 Winter Games was the importance of the celebrating regular people from the surrounding and nearby cities, not international celebrities.
As regular people with regular jobs, these hometown entertainers took time to rehearse for their performances that would welcome their own family and friends to this year's Games.
