2008 Olympics Fireworks
Amongst the novelties for the Olymics opening-ceremony fireworks will be smiley-face shape shells, the Chinese authorities said today in an announcement about their plans. They are part of a theme – to be reflected on staff and volunteer clothing – to soften China’s authoritarian image.
Cai Guoqiang, the artistic director for the fireworks, announced that fireworks would be launched from a staggering 1,800 sites around the city of Beijing, including major urban areas near Tiananmen Square and the Bird’s Nest stadium near the Olympic Village.
‘We want the Olympic spirit to be seen and felt throughout the entire city on the evening of the opening ceremonies,’ said Cai, a famous Chinese artist.
