So I asked them if I could shoot the documentary with my own ideas, not some overt political or social message. So I thought it over, and I realized I have the time for it, and so I agreed. Frankly speaking, I myself also hope Beijing will host an Olympics. In fact, I care about this very much, not because of economic development or political influence, but as the success of Beijing's bid would help maintain the enthusiasm that keeps a society going forward. It also helps to maintain reform and openness in China.
Chinese people love 'face' very much.
Nationalism in an enclosed environment is instinctively arrogant. But in an open environment, it will accelerate improvement. For example, if an important guest is coming to our home, we definitely will clean up the home and throw something away that should have been thrown away earlier. I think an open China needs this kind of positive international event to stimulate the society to go forward. I am a sports fan.
