WHAT IF RAINS?

I have the same fear as you do: rain is my biggest worry. We have many exigency preplans for rain, moderate rain and storm. I hope that god will bless China, bless us so that we'll have good weather.

Even if we may encounter bad weather, with our exigency preplans, we hope we still could wonderfully showcase the whole ceremony and performance. Otherwise, so many people will prepare for so long but in vain. If there is rain, we will reduce show times; if the rain is heavy, for security reasons, the air performance will be cancelled. We will also watch out for mechanical and technical problems and other unexpected issues. We will make sure that everything runs smoothly, that it is safe and sound. This is our top priority. Now we are actively doing preparations so I hope the whole opening ceremony will make people happy.

I very much hope everything goes smoothly, safe and sound. Really. This is what I pray for every day.
