"This morning, the Theme of 'Huaxia Garden' in the Summer Palace Relay Area, the total length of the transmission line is about 6.2 kilometers, a total of 101 torchbearers participated in the relay. Although the time and distance of each torchbearer is not long, everyone is particularly excited and excited to go to an ice and snow covenant with The Olympic athletes. According to Qimei Dorjee, the torchbearers gathered at the Summer Palace about 2 hours in advance, and then participated in a brief relay training and a passing starting ceremony. After the pass, you can take home your respective torches as a souvenir.

Chimi Dorjee said he had been preparing to participate in the torch relay since he received a notice from the State Nationalities Commission in early January this year. After receiving the "Confirmation Letter of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Torchbearer" issued by the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee in late January, he cherished and was surprised: "For me, I can personally participate in the torch relay, which I never dreamed of!" It was so unexpected. The Khampa man spoke humorously and bluntly, and he was excited for days.

In addition to the excitement, I wish and look forward to the successful holding of this winter and Paralympic Games, and the Olympic athletes of the mainland can win the crown at the "doorstep" and add glory to the great motherland! "'Touching' the Olympic 'heartbeat' so closely, 'holding hands' with the Olympic fire at such a close distance, I am extremely proud in my heart at this moment!"

Qimei Dorji said with great feeling, "A famous torchbearer is passing on the Olympic flame, and it is also a belief." As I salute with the torch in my hand, 'Torchbearer' has also become my loudest name, and I am also a successor. To a large extent, what is inherited is the youth dedicated to the rejuvenation of the nation, and what is inherited is the Chinese dream; to a smaller extent, what is inherited is the service purpose of conscientiously fulfilling the "people's post for the people" and the service purpose of delivering mail and delivering letters to the people in the vast Tibet-related areas, and what is inherited is the duty and mission of "telling the postal story well and publicizing the great beauty and Ganzi". ”
