ABSTRACT
On 8 August 2008, the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, I was in Dizhengdang, a remote Dulong 1 village in Yunnan Province. Although people in the village had planned for months to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony, no one knew the exact time of the event, so we all got up early in the morning and waited in front of the television. Soon we realized that the show would not begin until the evening. When the broadcast finally started, I spent four hours watching the opening ceremony with local audiences in Dizhengdang, and recorded their viewing activities with my video camera.
