Nations came to celebrate.
In the evening, inside the Bird's Nest, on the second-floor golden VIP hall, more than thirty heads of state, government leaders, and royal representatives had arrived today.
The Olympics isn't a meeting but a grand celebration, hence the reception was held here. The sofas in the hall had been removed and replaced with rows of dining tables.
As guests started to enter, Fang Huai stood by the VIP elevator's adjacent passage at the entrance, watching wave after wave of blond-haired, blue-eyed guests, or those with black skin walk in, and his heart was filled with infinite emotions.
In his childhood, he had seen many TV dramas and books depicting the Tang Dynasty when it was said that it received tributes from three hundred nations. And it was not only during the Tang; after any dynasty had unified Huaxia, the neighboring countries that bordered China had to pay tributes, and those from across the seas, to trade and learn.
