Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 382 Olympics and Hanfu

If Cole Marjorie hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Cole Marjorie to believe that China is so prosperous and powerful.

He said nothing more to Paul Martin. He would naturally be shocked when he came to China.

……

At 8:8 on the evening of August 20, the opening ceremony of the th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was held grandly at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest).

The opening ceremony was attended by more than 9 spectators as well as heads of state and dignitaries from many countries.

There were even more people outside the stadium and it was very lively.

At night, the "Bird's Nest"-shaped National Stadium is illuminated with brilliant lights.

China has been preparing carefully for a long time to host this Olympics.

The large-scale theatrical performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games ranged from the four great inventions of papermaking, movable type printing, the compass, and gunpowder, to calligraphy, Kun Opera, Peking Opera, and traditional Chinese painting, from the Maritime Silk Road to the modern "starry sky", showing the world the five thousand stories of China. The splendid civilization of the 21st century has almost no traces of its essence and moving features.

Such an original design with Chinese style is simply a visual feast with the charm of civilization as its content, giving people a strong shock and allowing the world to better understand China!

The Olympic movement with a history of more than 2,000 years and the splendid Chinese culture inherited for more than 5,000 years complement each other and jointly write a magnificent new chapter of human civilization.

At this time, more than 9 people at the opening ceremony and the global audience watching the live broadcast were all shocked.

Especially those foreigners who didn’t know much about China were shocked and dumbfounded.

While sighing at the splendidness and greatness of Chinese culture, I couldn't help but be deeply attracted.

"This is the foundation of a civilized country with a history of five thousand years. It's really shocking!" an American audience said with great envy.

The United States has a history of just over 200 years since its founding, and most of that time has been spent oppressing other ethnic groups and being full of violence and bloodshed. An American with a true sense of justice would be ashamed!

At this moment, how can Americans not be envious when they see that China has so much splendid culture, even though Chinese culture has only revealed the tip of the iceberg...

The overseas Internet was even more excited at this time.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was shocking and spectacular, and the five thousand years of glorious Chinese civilization displayed can't help but make people yearn for it!

The idea of ​​studying in China has emerged in the minds of many foreigners.

Learn Chinese history and understand Chinese culture...

……

……

In the audience, Paul Martin looked complicated, and he could not help but feel ashamed for his previous paranoid views.

"Today I saw a different China! After thirty years of development, China is no longer what it used to be. It is even more developed than the UK!!!"

“China’s splendid civilization is even more shocking and enviable!”

"This is a great country, an enviable and awe-inspiring country!"

Paul Martin's good friend Cole Marjorie couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this. His experiences these days have given him a rough understanding of China. No country in the world can achieve such a rapid development in such a short period of time like China. It has risen rapidly and achieved world-renowned achievements!

But it doesn’t seem right to say “rise”!

To be precise, it should be "revival"!

During most of China's 5,000-year history, China has been the world's most powerful country!

The Roman Empire in Europe was strong, but the fall of the Roman Empire was due to the Chinese Han Dynasty's northern attack on the Huns, forcing the Huns to move westward. Then a remnant of the Huns took over the territory of the Germans. The Germans couldn't defeat the remnants of the Huns, so they ran away. They went to destroy the Roman Empire. Although the Roman Empire was already very decadent at that time, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. This shows how powerful China was in history!

By the Tang Dynasty, China's GDP accounted for 58% of the world's GDP, and the second-placed Eastern Roman Empire only accounted for 9%.

By the Song Dynasty, China's economic aggregate accounted for more than 60% of the world's total.

Nowadays, China has once again achieved great rejuvenation, and its GDP has become the largest in the world, reaching 22 trillion U.S. dollars, which is more than double that of the United States, which was 10.6 trillion U.S. dollars in the same period last year!

What’s even more frightening is that China is still developing rapidly with an economic growth rate of up to 15%.

However, the United States suffered a decline in national strength and economic regression due to the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. At the same time, European and Western countries also suffered greatly, and their economies became sluggish.

Global financial centers, high-end manufacturing centers, and technology centers are all moving to China.

Just asking if you are convinced!

……

With the popularity of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Wujiang Group has become one of the biggest winners.

Wujiang Group is the largest sponsor of the 08 Olympic Games and has obtained the title and in-depth cooperation rights for Douyin advertising.

Many Douyin advertising banners can be seen in the Bird's Nest Stadium, including the overseas version of Tiktok.

The host will also emphasize and recommend that everyone use Douyin or Tik Tok software to watch the live broadcast.

It can be said that this time the Olympic Games directly pushed the popularity of Douyin to the highest level.

Even after the opening ceremony is over, there will still be many clips of exciting programs being spread wildly on Douyin, allowing many people who don’t have time to watch the entire opening ceremony to learn about the excitement of the opening ceremony in their free time or fragmented time. As Douyin becomes more and more popular, people are beginning to gradually realize the commercial value of Douyin.

After all, if you have fans and traffic, you can make money. This is already a recognized fact.

Although live streaming has not yet emerged, there is money to be made from live streaming to receive gifts and compete in PK, or to publish short videos.

During the Olympic Games, many Internet celebrities came to the Bird's Nest Stadium to broadcast outdoor live broadcasts.

Foreigners visiting China were very surprised when they saw this.

In their country, the communication network is still 3G, and outdoor live broadcasts are not possible at all.

This can't help but make them feel the power of China again.

They didn't know how many times they were surprised during this trip to China.

Zhou Qinghong has a sweet appearance and is a small Internet celebrity with more than 100,000 fans. She likes Hanfu very much. After watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, she was very excited and the idea of ​​promoting Hanfu came to her mind.

She told her friends that she wanted to wear Hanfu outside the Bird's Nest to promote Hanfu culture. When her friends heard about it, they thought it was a good idea. It not only promoted Hanfu culture, but also had the potential to become popular and increase the number of fans!

So on the second day of the opening ceremony, Zhou Qinghong put on her beloved Hanfu and went outside the Bird's Nest Stadium to start an outdoor live broadcast.

"Oh~ Beauty, your clothes are so beautiful!!!"

Among the crowd of onlookers, a foreigner took out his mobile phone and took photos while saying.

"Thank you!" Zhou Qinghong smiled and nodded in thanks, paused, and then asked, "Then do you know what kind of clothes I am wearing?"

"Kimono???" the foreigner said subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he quickly shook his head. Although he felt that this dress was very similar to a kimono, it should not be a kimono. After all, this is China, although he knew the history of China. Not much, but I also know that Japan invaded China during World War II...

"It's definitely not a kimono, it should be a traditional Chinese costume, but I don't know what it's called," the foreigner said.

Zhou Qinghong felt a little embarrassed and unhappy when she heard this.

Today’s foreigners only know about kimono, but not about our country’s Hanfu. This makes Zhou Qinghong even more determined to promote Hanfu culture in the future and let more foreigners know about Hanfu!

In the live broadcast room, many viewers were filled with indignation.

"It's so fucking embarrassing. Is the popularity of our Hanfu so low abroad?"

"It's really low. Very few foreigners know about Hanfu. On the contrary, kimono is very famous abroad. It's understandable that foreigners would admit their mistake!"

"Cao! Kimono is older, but it is just developed from Hanfu!" Netizens said angrily.

"Our country can't just focus on developing the economy, but we must also pay attention to traditional culture. For example, Hanfu, I think it is necessary for our country to vigorously promote it. Hanfu is an important part of Chinese traditional culture and a treasure of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Every time During festivals, you can wear Hanfu to inherit the beauty of China for thousands of years..."

"Yes, I support it with both hands! If you look at Japan, you will know how to promote Japanese culture. There are many Japanese women who often wear kimonos, and many foreigners know about kimonos! We should also let foreigners know about our Chinese Hanfu. Promote Hanfu Culture, make us a country of etiquette!"

"..."

At this time, Zhou Qinghong began to introduce to the foreigner: "What I wear is not a kimono, but a Hanfu. The Japanese kimono is actually developed from our Chinese Hanfu clothing. The Chinese Hanfu has been inherited for thousands of years, starting from the Yellow Emperor and preparing for Yu Yao and Shun..."

When the foreigner heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out it's called Hanfu!"

Later, the foreigner gave a thumbs up and praised: "The Hanfu is great, very beautiful! By the way, can I take a photo with you?"

Zhou Qinghong first expressed her gratitude, and then said: "We can take a group photo, no problem!"

After a while, after the two took a photo, Zhou Qinghong waved to the foreigner and said goodbye.

At this time, the popularity of her live broadcast room became very high, with 40,000 people online.

Many people are sending gifts to show their support for her.

When Zhou Qinghong saw this popularity, she was immediately excited.

She seemed to have found the traffic password, which was to promote Hanfu culture.

This can not only realize your wishes, but also make money.

Then she took her photographer friend and started to introduce Hanfu to foreign tourists...

What she never expected was that her live broadcast content today would go viral. By 8 o'clock in the evening, it was ranked No. 1 on Weibo and Douyin.

Many people watched her live broadcast and couldn't help but start to reflect, why is our country's Hanfu not as famous as Japan's kimono?

I'm afraid even Zhou Qinghong didn't expect that one of her live broadcasts would directly set off the craze of Chinese Hanfu!
