Generally， Chinese elementswere everywhere， a s i f theysprinkled around in the stadium. Being mixed with European famous music'O Sole Mio， the cheerful sounds of Sichuan folk song Pleasant Sunrise madeeveryone cheer—Wow！ Did you notice that the Little Green Pepper holding theShu embroidery guide board was coming？ Suddenly， with the cute and livelymascot Rongbao and breathtaking cheers， waves of enthusiasm（ 热情）andhospitality（ 好客）rushed towards you. The combination of brilliant colorsand enthusiastic athletes seemed to highlight the success of the ceremony.Meanwhile， an ancient and classic art called face-changing drew in both localsand foreigners alike， adding to the cultural significance of the event.

The elements that appeared in the ceremony were all full of Chineseromance， with “Hope， Power， and Light” being the three key words. Thesewords brought new meanings and unique experiences to the event.
