As the old Chinese saying goes, 'A good beginning takes you halfway to success,' and a great deal is expected of the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony. Its aim is to create a positive and lasting impression of China's splendid civilization on participating athletes, spectators from all over the world and the billions of TV viewers that watch it.
