As a veteran journalist who has participated in sports coverage for many years and participated in many Olympic Games, this year's Winter Olympics are different. Because this is a "big test" for China under the epidemic, and it is a big test that must be won.
"It is true that every day, the staff will test positive for the new crown virus, and once someone has contacted them, the close contacts will be quarantined for 7 days. Wang Xiaguang told reporters that in the Beijing Winter Olympics area where he is located, the risk of infection exists at all times, but the organizing committee has done its best to ensure the work and life of each participant and make them feel at ease, such as in order to save time and reduce mutual contact, specially arrange to install a lot of advanced disinfection equipment, just put your hand in the designated area of the machine, there is a full range of disinfection spray to the hand. And the People's Daily has also provided more adequate epidemic prevention materials on the basis of the Olympic Organizing Committee," Wang Xiaguang said, saying that many foreign journalists are seeing these high-tech equipment for the first time, and they will also take videos to commemorate the occasion, and they will feel extremely proud to see these.

CCTV Sports Li Bo:
Will always remember foreign journalists' "May I come in?"
"Right in apartment 6 where I live, there are people who test positive almost every day. Cleaning staff here wear protective clothing and push the cleaning cart service every day. Li Bo of CCTV Sports entered the closed loop of Zhangjiakou on January 27, and he told reporters that the Prince Hotel in Miyuan, where he lived, was at the foot of the Genting Ski Park, with a large number of OBS (Olympic broadcasting service company) staff and foreign media staying, which is also the "hardest hit area" of the epidemic in the closed loop.

"Sir, please stay away from me, I just touched a positive passenger's room, we enter the room for cleaning is not very safe, please call us when you need to clean up." Li Bo recalled his conversation with the cleaning staff, and every time he thought about it, it made him feel a warm current in his heart------ everyone is working hard for this not easy Olympic event.

"After entering the Zhangjiakou division nearly 2 weeks in advance, colleagues basically worked outdoors at minus 20 degrees Celsius every day until eight o'clock in the evening, and several southern colleagues were covered with warm babies and still couldn't stop their hands and feet from freezing numbness, and the only thing they thought at that time was to debug the equipment and present each game perfectly." Li Bo told reporters that starting today, Beijing and Zhangjiakou officially entered the "Winter Olympics time."
"After entering the closed loop of the Zhangjiakou division a week before the start of the race, colleagues basically worked outdoors at minus 20 degrees every day until after eight o'clock in the evening, and several colleagues were covered with warm babies and still could not stop their hands and feet from freezing numbness, and the only thing in their minds at that time was to debug the equipment and present each game perfectly." Li Bo told reporters that starting today, Beijing and Zhangjiakou officially entered the "Winter Olympics time."
In the closed loop, every day, everyone needs to do a nucleic acid test, if the system recognizes that no nucleic acid is done today, there will be a special person to notify you to do the test immediately; at the same time, there are verification points in and out of the hotel, in and out of the venue, there are verification points, only through the health verification display, in order to smoothly achieve flow in the closed loop. At the same time, for the closed-loop internal and external boundary points, there are clear 2-meter-high protective fences, or closed-loop prompts to prevent people in the closed-loop from accidentally "going out of the circle".
"Most of the foreign journalists I met in Zhangjiakou maintained social distancing in strict accordance with epidemic prevention regulations and wore N95/KN95 masks strictly. Once my colleague and I were in the elevator, and a later foreign reporter saw that there was already someone inside, and instead of going straight into the elevator, he asked very softly ,'May I come in?' and asked if we minded him going into the elevator, and we immediately agreed and greeted him in English. Although it was just a simple inquiry, it made me and my colleagues feel their respect. Li Bo told reporters that at that moment, he felt the Olympic spirit even more: unity, but also peace.

"There are three press conference halls in the closed loop in Beijing, and the seats and chairs are separated; each round table in the restaurant can sit 6 people, but the 6 seats are separated by plastic plates so that everyone does not touch the meal." Hu Jun told reporters that in the fully automatic robot restaurant that has exploded, there are various styles of Chinese food and Western food, and Chinese food includes many domestic dishes, such as dumplings, Cantonese cuisine, Northeast spicy hot, etc. Many reporters will be surprised when they see robot delivery.
"Beijing is the world's first 'double Olympic city', which will go down in the annals of Olympic history. When I spoke to foreign journalists, they were very grateful to Beijing for its efforts. As long as everyone in the closed loop abides by the Epidemic Prevention Manual, China welcomes every foreign friend. Hu Jun told reporters that he felt the country's confidence in epidemic prevention and control and the tolerance and openness from a big country in the closed loop.
"The world is looking forward to China, and China is ready." Hu Jun said that this is the sentence he loves the most now.
