The total impression this photograph gives off is that China as a whole spent a great deal of time preparing, choreographing, and practicing to show the world that they are more than just a country full of harsh government officials. The way that China uses lights and the bright colors on the participating people's costumes show that the desire to appear fun loving and artistic exceeded the emphasis that is usually placed on the military and government for the time being. The effect of this display was that many people were surprised by the beauty and unexpectedness of how China rose to the expectations. Many people were unhappy with China being the host country for the olympics, so the country knew how important it was so make people regret thinking that they were not acceptable.
