Mr. Sa Xiaolan said: "We want to show the beauty, humanity and sportsmanship of China through very special performances.

We want the event to be short but not monotonous, but to leave the most wonderful emotions. Modern technology will be applied. Audiences around the world will enjoy the characteristics of China and Asian qualities. Our message is that ASIAD connects humanity, making the whole world like a family, all viewers are moved and happy. The opening ceremony will break a traditional performance, there will be no fireworks display. Because we are adhering to the green philosophy in organizing this event".
