The closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics was the most touching.

Remembering the moment and extinguishing the flame are the prescribed actions of the Olympic Games, just like writing a thesis. Huang Hui, director of the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, revealed that it was painstaking to express these two important "prescribed actions" in Chinese poetry.

With regard to the fixed link of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, "Remembrance", at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in Brazil in 216, the funeral was staged on the Olympic stage for the first time in the form of remembering the deceased. At the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in South Korea and the Tokyo Olympics in Japan, there were "remembrance" links. In this regard, Huang Hui said that although life and death are often expressed in China's literature, drama and film and television works, it is a big problem to show them in grand performances.

"In the long process of creation, Director Zhang Yimou set the tone and expressed it poetically." Huang Hui said that after several rounds of overthrow, he finally mentioned the "monument of light" in the process of constantly running in with the general director Zhang Yimou and the general writer Lei Yu. Since then, the creative team has also found another symbolic "language"-folding willow. "When the ancients parted, they would fold willow branches on the willows at the edge of the city or by the river to give them to their relatives who were about to leave. So we thought of letting the actors hold glowing wicker in their hands and tell the story of memory and parting in the way of China people. " Huang Hui said.

At the beginning of the "Remembrance" session, 8 holy girls walked leisurely to the ground screen, dragging branches of wicker under their feet, and at the same time drawing an ancient picture of weeping willows on the screen. The breeze blew and catkins flew around the screen. At this time, 365 men, women and children appeared, holding glowing wicker in their hands, walking slowly from all sides to the center of the ground screen. At this time, 15 beams of light rose into the sky, forming a "monument of light", which also reminded China people of the scene of sweeping graves for their deceased relatives. Huang Hui added: "Setting 365 people means 365 days, months and years of missing, and the change of days, months and months emphasizes the endless life view of China people."
