The opening of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is imminent. This is a major landmark event held by China at the historical intersection of the "two hundred years" goal. Reflecting the leapfrog development of ice and snow sports in the new era, the three-episode political feature film "The Covenant of Ice and Snow" was broadcast on the news channel at 8 p.m. from February 1. The program shows the great importance attached by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core to the preparation for the Winter Olympic Games, the keen attention to promoting more than 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports, the touching story of generations of ice and snow people fighting hard for the glory of the country, and the efforts of the Chinese people to dedicate a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Winter Olympic Games.
A world of ice and snow, full of charm. However, the development of ice and snow sports is strictly limited by regions and seasons. In China, an implementation outline aimed at "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" breaks the limitations of time and space, allowing ice and snow to dance in a wider range of people and bloom in a wider world.
In February 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics and met with IOC President Bach. It was during this visit that President Xi Jinping first proposed the concept of "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports": "In China, ice and snow sports do not enter Shanhaiguan. If the ice and snow project can be promoted in Guannei, it is expected to bring 200 million to 300 million people to participate, thus igniting the torch of China's ice and snow sports. ”
"Bringing 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" has become a solemn commitment of China's bid to host the Winter Olympics. The strategy of "south-to-south expansion, westward expansion and eastward expansion" of ice and snow sports began to be implemented, and the ice and snow boom surged unprecedented in the land of Shenzhou.
IOC President Bach has highly appreciated this idea, and in January 2019, when he inspected the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, he said that President Xi's contribution can not be evaluated, "Promoting 200 million or 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports will be a huge change in the world's ice and snow sports." ”
Southeast, Northwest
Xinjiang Altay Cocoto Sea Ski Resort
For a long time, the three northeastern provinces other than Shanhaiguan have been one of the few provinces in the mainland with a tradition of ice and snow sports, and "ice and snow sports are not shanhaiguan" is an accurate summary of this situation, but now, everything has changed.
During golden week in 2021, ski enthusiasts from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, gathered at the airport to prepare for an ice and snow engagement. The destination of their trip was the Xinjiang Altay Cocoto Sea Ski Resort in the northwestern border.
Xinjiang, which is rich in ice and snow resources, has become one of the provinces with the most new ski resorts in recent years, and Xinjiang currently has 72 ski resorts, ranking second in the country after Heilongjiang. As of January 2021, there are 803 indoor and outdoor ski resorts in the country, an increase of 41% over 2015, and 28 provinces already have ski resorts. From flying all the way north to flying all over the country, snow friends have more choices to go to more poetic distances.
Guangzhou: North snow drifts south
Wild snow gives people the opportunity to dance with nature; indoor ski resorts make it possible for more places to embrace ice and snow.
According to the data of the "2020 China Ski Industry White Paper", the mainland indoor ski resort projects have shown an explosive growth trend, and the indoor ski resorts opened in China have increased from 12 in 2016 to 36 in 2020, the number has ranked first in the world, and the world's top three indoor ski resorts are all from China. In the field of indoor ski resorts, China has achieved overtaking in curves.
Xining: Huimin Ice Rink
China's ice and snow sports are people-centered ice and snow sports. The "Implementation Outline of "Driving 300 Million People to Participate in Ice and Snow Sports" points out that efforts should be made to build an ice and snow sports service system around the masses, promote the inclusive opening of ice and snow sports venues, and promote the free or preferential opening of ice and snow venues and time periods to the masses.
In the plateau city of Xining, the opening of the Civic Center Ice Rink ended the history of Xining citizens who could only skate wild ice. In the exploration of various places, there are more and more such inclusive ice rinks, and the ice and snow benefit mechanism that combines government subsidies, venue concessions, and personal consumption has gradually been established.
Jilin Ice Rink: High participation rate
Different regions should adapt to local conditions and have their own emphases, which is the basic principle for the mainland to carry out mass ice and snow sports. In the northeastern city, which is blessed with ice and snow resources, naturally frozen lakes can be seen everywhere, making it an excellent place to carry out skating projects.
In recent years, this ice rink has received public welfare subsidies from the government and has begun to be open to the public free of charge. Looking at the whole of Jilin City, due to the increase in government investment, in 7 years, the number of public welfare ice rinks has increased from 6 to 135. Old ice friends clearly feel that the ice rinks everywhere make the city full of movement and vitality.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of snowflakes bloom in thousands of cities, and ice and snow sports have long crossed Shanhaiguan and gone to the whole country. China's ice rinks and snow pavilions flourish, to the south, west, east, from the snow country in the north to the water towns in the south of the river, from the western border to the eastern coast, the flowers of ice and snow bloom gorgeously. According to the statistical survey report "Driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", from the successful bid for the 2015 Beijing Winter Olympics to October 2021, the number of participants in ice and snow sports in the country reached 346 million, and "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" has changed from a vision to a reality.
Healthy China
Erqi Factory Ice and Snow Project Training Base
On January 4, 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Erqi Factory Ice and Snow Project Training Base for investigation and investigation. When visiting the "Exhibition of Driving 300 Million People to Participate in Ice and Snow Sports Achievements", the general secretary's eyes stayed on the exhibition board for a long time, and the goal of "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" had been achieved, which made him sigh with emotion. He pointed out: "Through the preparation of the Winter Olympics, not only the competitive level of ice and snow sports has caught up, but also the popularization and promotion of ice and snow sports, and the quality and quantity of sports have improved." From a strong sports country to a healthy China, the health of the people, the physique of the people, and the happiness of the people are all in the same vein. This is the meaning of the topic of all-round well-off and all-round modernization. ”
Henan Special School
In the ski resort deep in the mountains of Luanchuan, Henan, more than a hundred special children are undergoing ski training. In order to allow children with disabilities to touch the sunshine of ice and snow sports, with the efforts of all parties, professional coaches are equipped in place.
Ice and snow sports are difficult and demanding, which can ignite people's passion and temper people's will. The same action, children have to pay more effort; but the tempering is doubled, the happiness is doubled, and skiing gives them a brighter smile and a tougher character.
Suitable for all ages
Without universal health, there can be no comprehensive well-off. On the road to health and well-off, no one can be less, and one cannot be left behind. Regardless of gender, age and physical condition, let more people have the opportunity to participate in winter sports and share the fruits of national fitness.
Ice and snow sports are crossing the boundaries of age and becoming an ageless fashion. Enjoy the fun under the premise of ensuring safety, and pursue vitality and sunshine, ice and snow on the basis of scientific training, and can also accompany the healthy old age of the elderly.
Walking on ice and snow, it becomes the wind. From the elderly to the three-year-old naughty child, ice and snow sports have bid farewell to the former "niche" and "unpopular", and have gradually become fashionable and popular, becoming a new way of life for Chinese.
If the youth is strong, China is strong
If the youth is strong, China is strong, and if the sports are strong, China is strong. 300 million people participate in ice and snow sports, and teenagers are the top priority. After several cold and summer, the "ice and snow fever" on campus has become a vivid epitome of "300 million people participating in ice and snow": the bottleneck of the venue has been continuously solved, the teaching team has grown day by day, the number of ice and snow sports characteristic schools has reached more than 2,000, and ice and snow sports have taken root in the hearts of more teenagers.
The general secretary's earnest teachings have planted a "snow seed" in the hearts of the children. Five years later, the children of that year have become ice and snow teenagers.

Jilin Soden Station Primary School
At the Sodeng Station Township Center Primary School in Jilin City, Jilin Province, principal Sha Zhisheng is leading the children to an outdoor physical education class on the ski slopes. Physical education classes can be held on the standard ski slopes, which makes the children particularly excited. In order to have a good ski lesson, principal Sha Zhisheng ran around, raised ski equipment for the children, invited professional teachers to the campus, and made skiing a compulsory physical education course in the school. He also expanded the playground into a 300-meter circular track, practicing pulleys in the summer and transforming it into a ski run in the winter.
Simple pistes plant the seeds of snow and ice, but to improve your skills, you have to go to a professional snow field. To develop campus ice and snow sports, we must make extensive use of social resources. Coaches should go to the campus, students should also go out of the campus, the two-way interaction and in-depth cooperation between the school and social forces have alleviated the problem of "who will teach" teachers, let the children lay a solid foundation, and let the dream of ice and snow go deeper and farther.
Ice Hockey League
In addition to "church and diligent practice", it is also necessary to achieve "regular competitions" and emphasize the importance of youth competitions, which is a major change in the campus sports reform in the mainland in recent years. Ice hockey, is a fierce collective project in ice and snow sports, ornamental, competitive, whether it can be in the field of ice hockey, the first to create a Chinese youth league, has been highly anticipated.
Ice and snow "hot" economy
Ice and snow, golden mountains and silver mountains
In September 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the three northeastern provinces. In Chagan Lake in Songyuan City, Jilin Province, looking at the fiery fishing scene, the general secretary made important instructions.
"Ice and snow are also golden mountains and silver mountains", this important instruction of General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out the direction for the development of the ice and snow industry. When inspecting Zhangjiakou in January 2017, the general secretary pointed out that the ice and snow industry is a sunrise industry with broad prospects, and efforts should be made to drive more people to participate in ice and snow sports, and the Beijing Winter Olympics is an important promotion and an important guide for the ice and snow sports industry. I hope that more investors will pay attention to the development of China's ice and snow sports industry, strengthen their strength in operation, and contribute to support.
The rise of domestic brands of ice and snow
Cold ice and snow can also drive the heat economy, and snow rice bowls can also become golden rice bowls. According to the "Ice and Snow Sports Development Plan (2016-2025)", the total scale of the mainland ice and snow industry will reach 1 trillion yuan by 2025, such a huge market size, full of business opportunities. Moreover, the ice and snow industry chain is long, including ice and snow supplies manufacturing, tourism, training and other content, as well as snow machines, snow grooming machine manufacturing and other heavy industry related content, which has an obvious role in promoting scientific research capabilities and promoting industrial upgrading.
Driven by a series of favorable policies, more and more people are optimistic about the ice and snow industry, more and more enterprises are investing in the ice and snow industry, and more and more industrial parks are characterized by ice and snow. The ice and snow industry is like a white rich mine waiting to be dug deep, as long as you touch the ore vein, you can spew out and shine.
Beijing-Zhang high-speed railway: ice and snow arteries
In winter Beijing, whenever the weekend comes, the passenger flow on this high-speed rail line will increase significantly, it is the Chongli branch line of the Beijing-Zhang high-speed railway to Chongli, the "ice and snow world".
As a key transportation supporting project for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chongli Branch Line of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway will string Beijing, Zhangjiakou and Chongli into one line, shortening the time distance between Beijing and Chongli from 4 hours to 1 hour. The opening of this branch line has made Chongli truly a place within reach of Beijingers.
At the end of 2019, the Beijing-Zhang high-speed railway was opened to traffic, and this century-old railway was reborn. More than 100 years ago, the Beijing-Zhang Railway was the first railway designed and put into operation by the Chinese; today's Beijing-Zhang railway is the world's first intelligent high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. A hundred years of Beijing and Zhang, witnessing the great changes in the history of China's railways.
In the two years since the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiang high-speed railway, more than 13.8 million passengers have been sent, an average of 19,000 people a day. The Beijing-Zhangjiang high-speed railway has sent a rolling passenger flow to the ice and snow tourism areas, and has become an ice and snow artery for revitalizing the regional economy.
The Prince Edward High-Speed Railway Station, which arrives by train, is the world's first high-speed rail station with direct access to the Olympic Games. In January 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping arrived at Prince Edward Station by train along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway to inspect the construction of the Zhangjiakou Race Area. In the mind of the general secretary, the preparation of the Winter Olympics is a big chess game related to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and he pointed out that it is necessary to combine the holding of major events with the service of national fitness, and accelerate the construction of the Beijing-Zhang sports and cultural tourism belt, which has injected new connotations into the national strategy of the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
In the territory of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Sports and Cultural Tourism Belt, Chongli District of Zhangjiakou City is an important part. In the past few years, The mountain city of Chongli, which has unique ice and snow resources, has undergone earth-shaking changes and has become a "shining winter sports center" in the evaluation of foreign media.
The east wind of the Olympic Games is blowing, more and more outsiders come to Chongli, they witness the rise and change of this small city because of the snow, and also witness the ski service industry in Chongli step by step to the international standard. According to the data, as of the end of 2019, Chongli directly or indirectly engaged in the ice and snow industry and tourism services reached more than 30,000 people, and 1 in every 5 people was engaged in ice and snow-related work. Among them, including about 9,000 poor people in the past.
In May 2019, Chongli withdrew from the list of poor counties. Chongli's ski resorts have grown from 4 before the successful Olympic bid to 7 now, of which 4 rank among the top 10 in the country. With 7 ski resorts, 169 pistes, and nearly 3 million tourists every winter, Chongli has achieved a gorgeous transformation from a poor mountainous area to a "city of ice and snow".
The covenant of ice and snow, the promise of China. Eight years ago, China made a promise of "300 million people participating in ice and snow"; eight years later, the promise has become a vivid reality, and China's ice and snow sports are surging forward. North and south of the river, sleighs cross; inside and outside the Great Wall, ice knives fly; up and down the river, snowmobiles roar.
Competitive sports shine brightly, the dream of mass sports blooms, and the ice and snow industry is booming. The whole people pay attention to ice and snow, the whole people participate in ice and snow, and the whole people enjoy ice and snow. China in the new era is presenting an incomparably moving picture of ice and snow to the world.
