[2008.08.11 Sina News]
On August 8, gifted musician JJ Lin was invited as the only representative from Singapore to attend the 29th Olympics Opening Ceremony. That afternoon, JJ Lin along with Jacky Chan, Joan Lin, Jaycee Chan and S.H.E visited the Olympic Experience Center located next to the Bird Nest and experienced the exciting moments before the start of the opening ceremony.
JJ Lin who was a fan of Coca-Cola himself, not only received a series of limited edition bottles at the Experience Center, he also attracted many fans and other spectators’ attention when he showed off his skills playing snookers with S.H.E and Jaycee Chan in the Center while waiting to enter the Bird Nest.
Before the Opening Ceremony started, the group of artists which included JJ Lin, S.H.E and Jaycee Chan, led by Jackie Chan set out and walked towards the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird Nest, where the Opening Ceremony will take place. On the way, they were greeted by people passing by and other workers who were also very surprised to see them. JJ Lin was also extremely excited that he could watch the Opening Ceremony with Jackie Chan who happened to be his idol.
During the parade of the athletes, the team representing Singapore was the 188th team to come in. As a representative of Singapore, JJ Lin asked S.H.E and Jaycee Chan to help cheering loudly for the Singaporean team. His friends were all very supportive of him in that when the Singaporean team made their entrances, they cheered fanatically and loudly yelled out the names of Singaporean cuisine. The passionate display of support influenced the foreign spectators who were sitting nearby also to start cheering loudly.
When at last the Chinese team made their entrances, JJ Lin along with Jackie Chan, Joan Lin, Jaycee Chan and S.H.E all started to cheer loudly and clapped enthusiastically. When they saw Yao Ming entered the stadium carrying the Chinese flag, JJ Lin, S.H.E and Jaycee Chan all yelled out Yao Ming’s name like any fanatic fan and attracted the attention of many foreign reporters to take many pictures.
After the ceremony ended, JJ Lin indicated during an interview that: [The Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony was spectacular! The genius of Zhang Yi Mou was absolutely amazing! The use of Chinese traditional arts and the four discoveries was very animated. He presented the Chinese culture and civilization to perfection. The coordination of lighting, projection and fireworks was flawless. Having the world witness such spectacular performance was simply too fantastic. This is my first time watching the Opening Ceremony in person. To experience the grandness of the Bird Nest at such close proximity, I sat in the crowd and experience the excitement along with ninety thousand people. I captured many beautiful pictures with my camera. My deepest feeling was the ten words that said “We Share The Same World, We Have The Same Dream.”
