Original title: Winter Olympic Highlights| the opening harmony of the ice and snow event
(i)
The scenery of the northern country, the mountains and rivers are magnificent.
Between the snowy fields of Linhai, a traditional Chinese ornament "Ruyi" stands proudly on the peaks, and the sweet fragrance of ancient oriental civilization emerges leisurely from the first ski jumping resort in the mainland that meets international standards; the National Cross-Country SkiIng Center, the National Biathlon Center, and the Genting Ski Park are scattered, and the walking corridors are decorated with beads like "ice jade rings".
Under the cover of the mountains, the Yingbin Gate Prince Edward City Station stands majestically, and the beautiful and natural mountain shape "curve" echoes the white of ice and snow, giving birth to the theme of "boundless and sharing", reflecting the coexistence of architecture and nature, Chinese and Western culture, and the Olympic spirit, implying that the landscape is boundless to the human heart, and the Olympic Games are boundless to mankind.
Behind the great dream of the reinforced concrete realistic blueprint is countless days and nights of hard work, and it is the sincere cooperation between Chinese and foreign teams. From venue construction to image design, the preparation of the event not only reflects the integration and integration of China and the world, but also the display and innovation of traditional Chinese culture.
"Adhere to the opening up of the Olympic Games, learn from the experience of the Beijing Olympic Games and other countries, carry forward the Olympic spirit, strengthen Sino-foreign sports exchanges, promote the integration of Eastern and Western civilizations, and display China's good image."
As the first Winter Olympics after the Olympic motto was added to "more unity", the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is destined to be a milestone. The Chinese civilization and the Olympic spirit are docked, blended and sublimated, showing the world the value of "unity" and injecting the power of "unity" into the world.
"Together to the future", Beijing is rolling out its own answer sheet, and the 1.4 billion Chinese are opening their warm arms - welcome, the world!

Blue, yellow, black, green, red, the five colorful Olympic rings were conceived and designed by Mr. Coubertin in 1913.
"Five rings of different colors are connected to symbolize the unity of the five continents, and symbolize the friendly meeting and gathering of athletes from all over the world at the Olympic Games with fair, frank competition and friendly spirit to promote the development of the Olympic Movement." From the Temple of Hera to the Great Wall, from Mount Olympia to Mount Everest, the Olympic spirit shines through. Interlocking multicolored rings hold people all over the world together.
Open, deeply imprinted in the dna of the modern Olympic movement. For more than 100 years, the host cities of the Olympic Games have covered all over the world, the theme slogans have their own distinctive colors, and the cultures of different regions and nationalities have blossomed here. From "eternal friends" to "the same world, the same dream", from "let the world condense into a flower" to "together to the future", the Olympic Movement in the process of development, constantly absorb the nutrients of diverse civilizations, expand its own connotation and extension, improve its own value system.
The source takes the jade bi, and the five rings are concentric. On October 26, 2021, on the occasion of the 100-day countdown to the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the medal "One Heart" for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games was launched. The medals derived from the image of concentric circles and jade bi in ancient China express the connotation of Chinese culture of "the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of people's hearts", and also symbolize Beijing's open attitude, inviting the people of the world to unite as one under the inspiration of the Olympic spirit and attend this colorful covenant.
"In 2022, athletes from all over the world will come to the Beijing Winter Olympics, and they will speak hundreds of different languages, but I think they will all use sports as the universal language." If the Olympic Games is a gathering that transcends regions and races, showing the brilliant splendor, charm and infinite passion of different civilizations, then through this integration and exchange between people, countries and countries, and nations and nationalities, it is bound to write the most touching chapter of friendship.
An open Beijing has built a complete cultural exchange platform that will show hundreds of millions of viewers the colorful world culture and the profound heritage of Chinese culture.
The "Meet in Beijing" Olympic Cultural Festival and the 22nd "Meet in Beijing" International Arts Festival presented nearly 100 performances from 22 countries and regions.

Pitch a hundred years, forge ahead. The story of China and the Olympic Games carries a great expedition to catch up with the world, integrate into the world, and lead the world.
In 1936, when the Republic of China delegation was completely destroyed at the Berlin Olympic Games and passed through Singapore, the local newspaper satirized and ridiculed Chinese with a cartoon entitled "The Sick Man of East Asia": Under the banner of the Olympic Five Rings, a group of Chinese with long braids, described as thin, and wearing robes and horse coats carried a large duck egg on a stretcher.
In 1980, at the opening ceremony of the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time held aloft the five-star red flag and entered the venue, leaving a glimpse of Chinese on the Winter Olympic field. Four years later in Los Angeles, Chinese athletes returned to the Summer Olympic Games, but after returning to the Olympic family, we gradually understood that discovery is not the same as understanding, and understanding is not equal to recognition.
In 2008, a century-old dream, unprecedented grandeur, passionate world into the "Beijing time", an unparalleled Olympic Games let "China stand in the center of the world stage", the economic strength accumulated in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the global vision and the willingness and determination to connect with the world broke out at this moment, establishing China's historical position in the history of the centennial Olympic Games.
In 2022, setting off with the waves and looking forward to the East, China once again ushered in its own "Olympic home", and the eyes of the world have extended from Chinese athletes to the 1.4 billion people behind them, paying attention to how the Olympic spirit continues to write glory in the land of China, and what kind of sparks the Olympics will stir in the collision with Traditional Chinese culture.
There is no doubt that China's struggle and the future of the world are at the intersection of destiny. In the context of globalization, China's image is no longer an integrator and participant, but a builder and a flag bearer, and today's Chinese are more concerned about the image of the country and the progress of society than ever before, and have a broader vision and mind. The process of reform and opening up over the past 40 years has brought about a rapid increase in comprehensive national strength and an all-round improvement in the quality of the people, which has won the attention of the world and the high hopes and trust of the world.
In the midst of major changes unprecedented in a century, what role China will play and how the international community views this role are both questions asked by others and questions asked by China today.
Writing the glory of the "City of The Two Olympics" and successfully hosting a "wonderful, extraordinary, outstanding" Winter Olympics is our positive and resounding answer to the world.

The Olympics chose China, and China did not fail the world.
"Wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding" is the goal of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and it is also China's interpretation of an important opportunity in the new stage of historical development.
In 2018, the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee issued the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Talent Action Plan, which established the overall goal of building a professional and international talent team. In the global recruitment that was first opened by the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, 30 positions attracted more than 4,000 applicants from 21 countries and regions. Nikolai is a Russian expert selected by the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, during the preparation of the Winter Olympic Alpine Skiing Test Activity, he and the domestic team worked day and night on Yanqing Xiaohaituo Mountain, did not go down the mountain for a month and a half, and finally successfully completed the alpine ski racing project snowmaking snowmaking, mountain running and other work.
In 2019, the recruitment of volunteers for the Beijing Winter Olympics was launched, and in just four days, the number of applicants reached 463,000, "if you can't be selected as a volunteer for the Games, you must also strive to be a city volunteer." Relevant departments take the initiative to cooperate with international sports organizations, listen to suggestions on venue construction, event organization, talent training, etc., accumulate experience in running competitions, and do their best to provide "home away from home" services. According to a survey of third-party companies commissioned by the International Olympic Committee, Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics has more than 90% support in China, while in the two host cities of Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the public opinion support rate is as high as 92% and 99% respectively, which is unique in the previous winter Olympic bidding cities.
"Adhere to facing the world, facing the future, and facing modernization, so that the Winter Olympics will become a booster for opening up to the outside world." Take the Olympic stage to show the prosperity and development of New China, and take the Olympic Games as an opportunity to promote the civilization and progress of Chinese society. An ancient country of oriental civilization is expanding its vision of globalization and integrating the achievements of human civilization and progress.
"Winter Dream", the emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, skillfully uses the art form of Chinese calligraphy to blend Chinese style with international vision, traditional style and modern elements. At the launch ceremony of the emblem, IOC President Bach said emotionally: The emblem is a symbol of ambition and dreams. For the common goal of the Beijing Winter Olympics, people in China and the world will be excited and eager to look forward to it.
Indeed, with a new blueprint, a new mission, and a new opportunity, the Beijing Winter Olympics will surely unfold a new legend to the world.

As the drum beats of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games become clearer and clearer, the world is also showing its eagerness for ice and snow events.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed at the annual press conference that sports, like the arts, should unite people; Israeli Olympic Committee President Yael Allard said that he looks forward to sharing the wonderful moments of the Beijing Winter Olympics; American alpine skier and two-time Winter Olympic gold medalist Shivlin hopes to feel more friendship through the Beijing Winter Olympics...
The world is full of things, and the drumming urges the steady boat. In today's era, mankind is suffering from a century of changes and the great test of the epidemic of the century, and the world needs unity more than ever. Whether it's fighting the pandemic or hosting the Olympics, or all international cooperation and social development, "collaborative efforts can lead to better results than each country working like an island." Whether it is to cling to protectionism, unilateralism and bullying behavior, and to restrain the thinking of "throwing the pot", "decoupling" and "withdrawing from the group", or to have the world in mind, to seek progress for mankind and to seek common ground for the world, to see the mind, to see the pattern, to see the responsibility, and to see the wisdom.
Affected by the epidemic, the on-site viewing of the Beijing Winter Olympic games and the Winter Paralympic Games has been greatly restricted. Break through the constraints of objective conditions, transcend the barriers of the physical level, open a new chapter of the Olympic Movement, promote the people-to-people connection of all countries in the world, pay more attention to the openness of ideas than ever before, and call for recorders, reporters, communicators, and observers more than ever.
"Tell well the story of the passionate struggle of Olympic athletes from all over the world, tell the story of China's preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympic Games, tell the story of the hospitality of the Chinese people, and comprehensively, three-dimensionally, and vividly spread the Beijing Winter Olympics to the whole world."
Connecting those wonderful pictures, unforgettable stories, and warm moments is like a spark, converging into a torch of "faster, higher, stronger - more united", illuminating China, illuminating the world, illuminating the Olympics, and illuminating the way forward.

"The venue here is fantastic, and I hope to come back here during the Beijing Winter Olympics."
In the "Meet in Beijing" series of test matches, athletes from all over the world expressed their admiration for the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Because they see, Yanqing, Chongli, the competition venues are built on the mountain, embracing nature, so that athletes can feel the natural atmosphere when they compete; because they experience that ice ribbons, ice cubes, and excellent ice surfaces allow athletes to show their best selves.
"Friends come from afar and are happy." The world is looking forward to China, and China is ready! At the intersection of history and the future, China walks with the world!
