Children's choir from mountains wows the world at Beijing 2022 opening ceremony
On the night of Feb. 4, the day of "Li Chun" which marked the beginning of spring in the traditional Chinese calendar, the Olympic flag was raised once again at the "Bird's Nest" National Stadium in Beijing.
The stadium fell into silence as attendees of the 2022 Winter Games opening ceremony all rose to pay respect to the Olympic flag when it was raised.
A heavenly chorus then emerged. It was the Olympic Anthem, sung by a choir of 44 children standing next to the flag pole - firmness in their eyes, clearness in their voices.
"Plains, mountains, and seas glow with you, like a white-and-purple great temple..." The children sang in Greek.
They were fitting lyrics, as these children are indeed from the mountains. |
