Two directors of the ceremony, Wang Chaoge and Fan Yue, attended a media debut of the outdoor performance "Impression West Lake" in Beijing on Thursday.
Wang disclosed that the elements of "Sichuan" and "Wenchuan" will be embodied in the opening ceremony in tribute to the Chinese spirit manifested after the devastating May 12 earthquake that hit southwest China's Sichuan Province.
He said the biggest headache for the organizers of the ceremonies will be the weather.
"It is the one thing beyond human control. Rain would cause delays in the progress of the event, as it would dampen performers' costumes and props," Wang said.
