2008 Beijing Olympics

On the evening of August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the 29th Summer Olympic Games was held in Beijing’s National Stadium. The theme song You And Me pushed the opening ceremony to a climax. This song was finally presented to everyone after thousands of choices. The seemingly simple lyrics and music are atmospheric and warm, revealing our country’s peace-loving, harmonious and introverted cultural temperament. Five thousand years of Chinese culture has a long history, and the song is like a gentle and powerful river. Under the interpretation of Liu Huan, in a soothing and warm way, hundreds of millions of audiences are like a breeze.

This song is very friendly and unforgettable. The title You And Me is kind and natural, bringing people closer together, which is completely in line with the Olympic spirit. The lyrics “You and me, from one world, we are family. Travel dream, a thousand miles, meeting in Beijing” echo the slogan “One World, One Dream”.

Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman

In terms of tone, the song You And Me does not deliberately show Chinese elements, but it is unpretentious and approachable, which is in line with the international and contemporary characteristics of sports songs. And the cooperation of singers Liu Huan and Sarah Brightman is also perfect, and the theme song is performed vividly.

At the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, behind Liu Changchun 刘长春‘s back who fought alone is China, which has no right to speak in the world. For a long time, China could only endure humiliation in silence but was powerless to resist. Without reform and opening up, without a strong comprehensive national strength, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games would not have been successfully held. The song You And Me at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics sang that the Chinese nation, which has experienced vicissitudes of life, still embraces the world with a peaceful attitude, and also announced to the world that China will stand at the center of the world stage.

The closing ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

On the evening of February 20, 2022, at the closing ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, when the children’s chorus “Me and You” sounded, everyone’s memory was instantly pulled back to the scene when Beijing hosted the first Olympic Games in 2008. The 2008 and 2022 echoes of time and space are a tribute to the “City of Two Olympics”.
