I am sure you are very concerned about the budget. I said it is low but I have some comparison. I was comparing it to other similar events. Relatively speaking, it is low. The operation center is responsible for the four ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the production and the operation, everything. The cost of the ceremony is not out yet. But what I can tell you we are costing absolutely low compared to other events like this.

The smoke and dust during the rehearsal of July 16, in terms of the standards, what we were trying to achieve is to minimize smokes. And after all, it is gun powder.

As for the second question, fire incidence? Are you talking about on July 16? We didn't have any fire incident at the above the Bird's Nest?

Due to the membrane structure of the Bird's Nest, to ensure the safety, we did two experimental or rehearsal of fireworks. The first time, because we did some rush preparation, probably 5 to 6 days, so we actually use substitute devices for ignition. We didn't use the designated fireworks for the opening ceremonies because we just decided the suppliers of the fireworks. And we are just testing the impact on the main structure. So we just use some substitute fireworks, some parts were melted on the membrane structure. We use the designated devices for ignition and fireworks products one month later. One ten of fireworks was used compared to the actual consumption and affecting tense of the area, no impact.

On July 16, it was exactly the same scale and amount of fireworks used compared to the opening ceremony. On the Bird's Nest, there is no impact on the membrane structure. Not the holes. So two different things and hat-shaped structure has nothing to do with the fireworks.
