The meaning is profound! ! ! It means that all the laggard 'little pigeons' in the world can find their way home!
Expansion:
During the rehearsal, he was truly "left behind"
During the rehearsal, a primary school student named Xu Shuyuan fell behind. Her position is on the "little tip", which is the "little tip" at the top of the heart formed by the little pigeons. She was at a loss at that time. By chance, a young lady from their group ran out and pulled her into the right position.
Every rehearsal will be video-recorded, and each video will be watched by the chief director and the directors of each session.
When director Zhang Yimou and director Tian Tian saw this video, they were very excited, because it was exactly what they needed, even unexpected. This video looks very warm and happy. So in the end they decided to add this detail to the entire performance. That's why it was presented in this way at the opening ceremony.
The meaning of "the laggards return" is profound
A sharp-eyed friend will notice at a glance that the laggard child is located in the lower right corner of the screen, which happens to be the location of Taiwan on the map of China. "Returning behind" symbolizes the return of overseas children to the motherland. Taiwan today is just like the laggard child, confused and at a loss. Full of dissatisfaction with oneself, but unable to see the future path clearly. They were like children eager to get home. Mainland China extended a friendly hand to them, welcomed them and led them home.
