What is the most powerful? Who has the most tenacious vitality?

Is it a sprouting seed? Is it a grass that breaks through the soil in the spring?

The "Li Chun" program at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics instantly shocked, warmed and conquered the hearts of billions of Chinese and foreign audiences.

Look at the nearly 400 long glowing flexible rods, such as green grass, like poles and bamboo, sometimes like Mai Mang thorny sky, sometimes like green willow whip wind, the new grass sprouting, green stretching song of life interpreted exquisitely, exquisitely.

Foreign media reported more on science and technology, light and shadow art, and Japan's Asahi Shimbun and Kyodo News Agency said that the performance presented with light was impressive and showed Li Chun. South Korea's "Daily Economy" website said that the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics began with the first of the twenty-four solar terms "Lichun", the 11,600 square meters of the venue as a whole is LED screen, it was filled with green symbolizing spring at the beginning... It is the opening ceremony of the anticipation of humanity's victory over the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the in-depth interpretation of the domestic media, people know more stories in front of and behind the scenes. Chen Jingwei, head of performance planning at the opening ceremony work department, wrote the words "Everything recovers and lives endlessly" on the work log. Zhang Yimou, general director of the opening ceremony, said: "In the opening ceremony, we must not only talk about the Winter Olympics, but also talk about the Chinese view of time and cosmology, especially in the context of the global new crown pneumonia epidemic, the concept of endless life is very important. ”

The grass grows, the flowers bloom, the dandelion seeds flutter... One seems to be able to see the swaying willows outside the panes, a clump of green grass swaying with the wind, everything grows, spring and hope break through the cold! The "Li Chun" program is full of youthful power and inspiration, just like the spring spring and the hope of the Spring Festival!

The plan of the year is spring. "Lichun" is the first of the twenty-four solar terms of Chinese culture and contains a wealth of information. At the opening ceremony, Chunxun also had three "letters":

belief. Chinese not only respect the heavens, pursue the harmony of heaven and man, but also firmly believe that "man will triumph over heaven" and never succumb to disasters. One day, the pillar of heaven collapsed, the earth collapsed, the fire spread and the water flooded, and there were five-colored stones refined by Nuwa to supplement the heavens and the people's livelihood. Another day, there was a female doll drowning in the East Sea, so it was a jingwei, often called the wood stone of the West Mountain, in order to be in the East Sea. Another god, in the name of heaven, was severed, but with milk as the eye and the navel as the mouth, and dancing. Then there is the Foolish Duke, the year and ninety, moving the second mountain... Regardless of whether old or weak, no matter the child, do not succumb to difficulties, and firmly believe in victory, is the national gene carved into the blood of the Chinese bone marrow. It is precisely with such a firm belief that the Communist Party of China has thrown its head and spilled its blood to lead the people to overthrow the three mountains for liberation, only then have the Chinese generations of people shed the sweat of three generations, stood up and become rich in the plight of the poor and the white, and only then have the Chinese of the new era abandoning "lying flat", resolutely fighting against the epidemic, and protecting the health and life of the people. "Wildfires burn endlessly, and spring winds blow again." Witnessing the tenacity of spring grass life, Chinese also gives itself stubbornness in her bones. May the green of the "Li Chun" program at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games give the people of the world the courage and tenacity of a spring grass, firmly believe that winter will pass and spring will come, and unite and cooperate to fight off the epidemic.

confidence. Since last year or even earlier, there have been some non-economists, even keyboard-wielding "chivalrous", constantly "warning", or cloud "economic crisis", or cloud "Great Recession", and so on. Even so, so what! In China, people who do the right thing don't talk much about this, and they tend to find all kinds of contradictions, think of all kinds of difficulties, and then, "It's over!" Just like the show "Li Chun", even if there is only one person, it is not easy to manipulate the flexible rod that is nearly 10 meters long and weighs a few pounds, not to mention that nearly 400 people jointly interpret a spring mood, everyone's pole tilt is different, and to go with the music, dance, a little difference, may be a "messy grass". Such a difficulty is daunting to think about. And it was such a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, who spent several months of hard work, facing the cold wind on the beach and practicing hard, and finally practiced the hard kung fu of swinging the flexible rod like a straight rod and never trembling. The "grass", which is extremely difficult to manipulate, was very well-behaved on the opening stage, and the performance was perfect. This also tells the world that there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you can climb it. Whatever difficulties you encounter along the way, remember that confidence is more valuable than gold. Whenever you are, please remember, "Lying flat is not OK, lying down is impossible to win, and it is time to struggle." This is the message to be conveyed by the program team at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and presumably it is also the message that China wants to convey to the world through the Winter Olympics. Faster, higher and stronger is the charm of the Olympic movement, and calling for everyone to "unite" in the face of world problems is what is most needed today. As long as all countries in the world do not take their neighbors as their enemies, do not respect themselves alone, but work together to overcome difficulties, there will be no mountains and rivers that cannot be crossed!

trust. Any greatness is born out of hard work. The "Li Chun" program is beautiful, the difficulty is needless to say, if there is no strong computing power, computer command, data support behind it is difficult to achieve. The most critical factor is probably the martial arts school teenagers who play with the flexible pole in the palm of their hands like an arm. The director team chooses the right person, and the task has the basis for completion and is half successful. Practice has also proved that martial arts school teenagers are trustworthy, and you can see one or two from the cocoons on their hands. Just as the Organizing Committee of the International Olympic Games chose Beijing seven years ago to host the Winter Olympics, China's promises, even if the COVID-19 epidemic rages around the world, have never shaken the determination of the Chinese Communist Party, the government and the people to fulfill their promises. We have spent more than 6 years intensively grasping the construction of infrastructure such as venues and completing the preparations for the Olympic Games on schedule, while also adhering to the supremacy of the people and the supremacy of life, and focusing on the health and safety of athletes from all over the world. In fact, Beijing alone involves the admission of the wounded and sick in the Winter Olympics, which has subdivided five types of situations such as closed-loop internal and external treatment, and 180,000 support personnel in various fields of urban operation will be dispatched. In his opening speech, IOC President Bach sincerely thanked Chinese people, "The reason why we can meet here is due to the active dedication of countless medical staff, researchers and all personnel in China and around the world. "China lives up to its trust! China is trustworthy!
