At the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics on the evening of February 4, hundreds of children held the glittering "Peace Dove" and ran happily in the bird's nest. There is a detail in the show that pokes countless netizens: a "little pigeon that fell behind" was found by her sister, and the two of them returned to the team hand in hand.
This clip rushed to Weibo's hot search. When Weibo forwarded the clip of the program, he wrote: "Lost children, go home early." Netizen commented: "A pigeon can not be less." ”
On February 5, the reporter of China Youth Daily and China Youth Network exclusively interviewed Xu Shuyuan, the actor of "The Little Pigeon Who Fell Behind".
"I was both excited and excited just after the show yesterday. I was lucky and happy to be able to perform this little pigeon that was left behind at the opening ceremony. ”
Xu Shuyuan told reporters that on the field, he and the "little pigeons" danced freely, bloomed freely, and were particularly happy, which also drew a perfect end to the practice of more than 4 months.
At the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the touching clip of "Looking for The Little Pigeon Left Behind" presented by "Shining Snowflakes" originated from Xu Shuyuan's real "falling alone" experience during rehearsal.
Xu Shuyuan said that during the rehearsal, the position she wanted to find was farther away, "My speed was also relatively slow, and as I walked, I found that everyone had already entered, and I was left outside, fortunately, a sister saw me and pulled me into the line." Xu Shuyuan described that the sister who helped her was "a very good person and very enthusiastic" and "can help everyone find their way home."
This time, "falling behind", unexpectedly achieved a plot that touched the whole network.
"Later, the director told me that just follow this line of thinking, and then perfect the situation and become a real 'little pigeon single', and then the sister found this 'little pigeon' among many people." Xu Shuyuan said.
Knowing that she was going to play this "little pigeon that fell behind", Xu Shuyuan said that her mood at that time was "looking forward to" because it was a relatively special role.
Xu Shuyuan understands the image of this "little pigeon" as "a little friend who needs to be cared for by his brothers and sisters." She felt that the little pigeon she played was particularly like the "child who left the big army" in life.
During rehearsals, Xu Shuyuan encountered a difficulty: it was difficult to find the right position. "With the help of my teachers and directors, I learned to set a position by finding coordinates."
Xu Shuyuan also shared her experience of "finding coordinates" with reporters. "The nest is big, there are a lot of exits, and each exit has numbers on them, and then I write those numbers."
Xu Shuyuan said: "The directors are very good and very patient with each of our children. ”
Xu Shuyuan, a student in the fourth grade (7) class of Beijing Haidian District Experimental Primary School, just celebrated his 10th birthday on February 1, before the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
Xu Shuyuan's mother, Liu Zhe, told reporters that because there were still training tasks on the first day of the Chinese New Year on February 1, the teachers celebrated the child's birthday Chinese New Year's Eve night the day before.
Having just turned 10 years old and participated in the opening ceremony of the Grand Winter Olympics, Xu Shuyuan hopes that all the lost "little pigeons" in the world can find their way home as soon as possible.
Looking back on the rehearsal process of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the moment that made Xu Shuyuan feel happy was that "the teacher helped us revise the movements over and over again to show the best mental outlook", which touched her and "had a very sense of accomplishment".
Xu Shuyuan, who is in the fourth grade of primary school, strives to balance rehearsal and study in the process. During breaks, she said, she would take out books and study in the lounge.
Feng Lin, director of aesthetic education at Beijing Haidian District Experimental Primary School, told reporters that since October 8, 2021, Haidian District Experimental Primary School has received the task of winter Olympic activities arranged by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, and more than 200 students from the school's Jinfan Dance Troupe have been selected, and finally 42 students have participated, including 13 boys and 29 girls, including third to sixth grades.
During this period, the teachers and students went all out and overcame many difficulties. The students experienced 4 months of hard training from learning the movements, mastering the mastery to the final wonderful performance, and the school teachers and school leaders gave the children the greatest support and help from life to learning. At the moment when the opening ceremony performance ended successfully, all the sweat and hardship were transformed into a moment when teachers and children shared a sense of happiness and glory together. Feng Lin said.
Xu Shuyuan's mother, Liu Zhe, said that by participating in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, her daughter's progress was obvious.
In terms of patriotism, it is particularly evident that she has a strong sense of collective honor and knows that she must work hard to complete this task. Through this activity, she has become self-reliant a lot, and her comprehensive quality has been significantly improved. At the same time, she can also reasonably allocate the energy of training and learning, and under such a large training intensity, the final exam results in the three subjects are excellent. As a parent, I feel very relieved and proud. ”
Xu Shuyuan said that through this opening ceremony rehearsal, he learned to persevere, learned not to give up when encountering difficulties, and "have a tenacious spirit."
After completing the performance, Xu Shuyuan said that he would always watch the Winter Olympics, and he most wanted to watch the figure skating competition, and felt that the athletes dancing on the ice were very beautiful.
