Yes, I think I am very smart, but that's not the point. 2. I don't think the tone was picky. We just posted our opinion about the opening ceremony. I think we are entitled to one. 3. I lived in China almost the same number of years as I did in my home country. I lived in China the vast majority of my adult life (first visit was 1987). And although the Olympics rarely excite me, I was actually a little excited about this one. 4. I'm also sure that "with the openness and insistence of Chinese people, China will keep growing, developing fast, creating more magics and becoming stronger and stronger! !". 5. The 5 mao you got for this post is well earned. 6. Zhongguo Jiayou. Caribbean, let me make a few things clear:

I just don't like your so picky tone. You couldn't get excited because this event is not hosted by your country and you're not living in your home now. You could not appreciate it so much does not mean the opening ceremonies is not a fantastic performance. I'm sure with the openness and insistence of Chinese people, China will keep growing, developing fast, creating more magics and becoming stronger and stronger! !
